Welcome to summer (well nearly)!

It's certainly been a long time coming this year!  But finally we have had some better weather and I have been busy sorting out my summer clothes and putting away the last of the winter jumpers.  That always makes me feel good, I love summer dresses and light tops and sandals.  I do tend to buy too much of it though and with the English weather as it is, unless we are away for a hot holiday, there is a lot that doesn't get worn.  Again in my effort to streamline my wardrobe a bit more I am being more ruthless this time.  If I don't 'love' it then it goes.

It does mean I now have a huge pile of washing and ironing and another huge pile that needs to taken to the charity shop and a few bits waiting for eBay.

Here are a few outfits from this last week:

The top is new and is the Shell Top from Boden worn here with my French Connection white jeans and Pretty Ballerina navy pumps from The White Company.  I wore this outfit last Wednesday for lunch with my parents in their lovely garden.  And my Dad is always quite happy to take a photo for me!

On Friday I was meeting my friend in Marlow for a little wander around the shops and to have lunch at Cotes Brasserie.  I wore my new outfit from Mint Velvet - top, jacket, and navy jeans with my Pretty Ballerina navy pumps again.  I made a couple of small purchases during our shopping trip and will share those with you soon!

On Sunday we were invited to join my sister-in-law for a BBQ in her gorgeous garden.  I wore my new Zara top - from their Basics range and just £25.99.  It was great, I love it, I wore it with my Mint Velvet jeans and Gap silver flip flops.  I buy these flip flops every year, they are so easy to put on and I like wearing them at home.  After the BBQ we went for a walk with our Westies and watched a little bit of cricket on the nearby Common, all very English!
