Here Comes The Sun (Again)

 

Well it is a sunny Sunday and I am enjoyng wearing a T-shirt without the need for a jacket/cardigan/jumper.

This morning I went for a lovely three mile run to the beach and back with the dog followed by a Cher's New Attitude legs workout.

I first tried that in the 1980s and it is still the best - by a mile.

Now I must really get some cleaning done.

 

Or on second thoughts I may make hay relax while the sun shines!

 

I hope this sun is shining where you are.

Here's a close-up of my new necklace.

Eight Ways To Wear A £10 Dress.

Long-time readers of my blog will remember that I love a multiway dress.

This American Apparel dress has been worth its £28 price tag as it has accompanied me on at least four holidays.

However, I have found a new multi-way dress from Primark at the unbelievable price of £10.

 

It doesn't look much on the hanger but I couldn't wait to try it out when I got home.

 

 

1. First off, the maxi skirt, tied at the side and worn with a vest top.

 

 

 

2. A strapless dress tied at the side.

 

3. Strapless again, tied in a  bow at the back.

 

4. The ties tucked down the back to create straps.

 

 

5. Strapless and tied at the front.

 

6. Cap sleeves.

 

 

7. Twisted at the front and secured with a brooch.

 

 

8. One shoulder.

 

I am sure there are more ways to wear this but it will defintely be in my hooiday suitcase this year.

 

 

Workin' It

 

 

Did I mention I had a daughter taking GCSEs, a son taking A-levels and a son taking his Finals this summer?

I may not be as good at Maths as my cleverclogs son but I do know that my equation equals chaos.

 

Yesterday I had no time to post and today is a picture hastily uploaded on my iphone and snapped during a visit to the staff toilets where there is a full length mirror.

 

Phew - thank goodness no-one came in while I was snapping.

 

I am taking some time to relax with my husband this evening.

Hope your weekend is a good one.

Cozy Coral

 

Coral is such a warming colour.

It reminds me of a mixture of red and orange.

Of fires and sunshine.

In weather like this I need to feel warm.

And bright.

 

Coral seems to be the answer.

The Best Of A Bad Bunch

 

I couldn't get one decent photo today so I am afraid it is the downcast look.

And as you can see I am back in my thermal top.

May and still thermal weather.

At least I only filled up my hot water bottle once at work today.

The rest of the time I was invigilating a Geography AS exam.

 

While I was walking around the sport's hall I had a chuckle to myself remembering Neil's exam in The Young Ones.

 

 

Today I wore:

Shoes - Clarks

Jeans - Tesco

Lace top and jacket - Matalan

Thermal layer - Marks and Spencer

Necklace - The Jewel Hut

Cool Summer

It looks like it will be a cool summer this year - and not in a good way.
I was nearly blown off my feet when I took the dog for a walk this morning and the forecast is not much better for the rest of the week.
Thank goodness I have 11 nights in Barcelona to look forward to in July.
Knowing my luck that will be when the British summer arrives.

Today I wore:
Shoes - Clarks
Jeans - Tesco
Shirt - Tesco
Scarf - Bought from a shop in Mumbles, Swansea

Bare Naked Lady

 

Bet that got you!

But yes, today fellow bloggers I took the plunge and went bare.

Legs that is.

These legs have been covered by tights, trousers, leggings or boots for what seems like forever.

I am not a  big fan of my legs so this knee length skirt eased the way.

It cost a tenner from Tesco and I think I will get my money's worth this summer.

I plan to try it dressed up with a shirt for work and take it easy with a vest and flip flops in the summer.

Yes, I am still  hoping that there will be a summer.

 

I wore:

Shoes - Converse

Cami/Vest - Marks and Spencer

Shirt - Matalan

Skirt - Tesco
