Friday post 21/06/24: is Summer finally here?

Hello and welcome to today’s post. There isn’t really a theme today, more like bits and pieces. I have bought a new “dress”, planned an outfit that I sadly didn’t wear, wore a different outfit to watch TV with Lovely Husband, and got dressed in another that only lasted a few minutes before I fainted!

So, let’s go through all of this in order:

Here is my new “dress”…

Cotton nightdress by Lands’ End

Yes, I was looking for a cotton jersey midi length dress for the warmer weather and I found this in the Lands’ End sale! But it’s a nightdress, you say. It is, but it also works as a dress perfectly well and I will wear it as such 😂🤣😂🤣.

I am intending to wear it with suitable scarves and jewellery, especially this new-to-me scarf that I wrote about last week…

Roseraie mousseline scarf designed by Christiane Vauzelle for Hermès

Now, let’s look at the lovely planned outfit that I didn’t wear. Elder Son and I had decided to go into our local town, run a few errands and then have an indulgent lunch. Unfortunately, I was feeling very ill on the day and couldn’t go. This is the clothing I was hoping to wear, with lovely silver accessories:

Dress and kimono in Ancient Columns by One Hundred Stars
Diane handbag by Marco Massaccesi

Well, of course I wouldn’t have looked like the model, but I am really looking forward to wearing this ensemble as soon as I have the opportunity.

Moving on, I did manage to get dressed and go downstairs to watch a TV programme with LH. I wore an old navy t-shirt, linen trousers by Cotton Traders, lapis lazuli earrings and my Hermès 70cm scarf: Au Royaume d’Helios. Here are the scarf and the earrings:

And here I am wearing them…

Yesterday, I was planning to go down and spend some time with LH, but it was not to be. Anyway, this is the dress that I wore:

Phew! Well that was a longer post than I expected! I will definitely try to wear some nice outfits next week, although if the temperatures soar I may end up sitting in front of a fan in only my vest and knickers (and, no, I won’t take a selfie!!!).

Happy Weekend to you all.

Love and best wishes,

Anne
