sunset skies and sunny delights

so it's been a good day so far, i got up and dressed and saw the boy off to work and went about my domestic duty of cleaning and washing. popped to the shop as i decided we needed some milk and picked up some kenco milicano for a cosy cup of coffee in my favourite vintage cup and saucer.




anyway, enough of the morning talk. i picked up this polka dot shirt a while ago on one of mine and the boys days out to woodbridge. woodbridge is such a beautiful village and full of so much character and the charity shopping is pretty good as i'm sure alot of people know! it's a bit of a big shirt, but i think it works better as a light-weight jacket just to add to a simple outfit. it's got shoulder pads which i always alwasy adore, they give such a structered elegant look to any piece and can dress it up or dress it down depending on the item. with this shirt, i tucked the sleeves up under the shoulder pads to give them more definition. i teamed this with a simple white vest and one of my favourite finds, a deep red velvet skater skirt.
in the other pictures, i substituted the polka shirt for another recent charity find which is this beigey/cream blouse with an unusual collar, its a circle collar that sort of buttons up underneath the other side of the collar (hard to explain!) please feel free to cringe and the constant overload of pictures, i'm sorry! i just love to see how pictures portray and outfit and seeing all different views, that's the first thing that draws me into each persons post.
of course i had to show you all my new favourite cup.

owl of the night

yesterday's outfit of the day, i spent the day with my lovely friend Sarah, and we raided some charity shops and some vintage shops that we found in ipswich. for once we were quite restrained with how much spending we did! i got myself a pastel yellow and polka dot scarf and a navy blue vintage sailor playsuit from a little shop called Fairweather Vintage , the scarf actually came from a vintage shop down by the Marina in Ipswich.
typical me, i didn't actually wear the exact outfit that's below, i swapped the brogue creepers for some pumps and the polka dot shorts for a midi pastel pink pleated skirt!
please do check out my blog sale page for a few bits i'm selling at the moment.
