You may have noticed there was no post from me yesterday….
The reason was that I’m currently in Kent, and yesterday I spent the day in Tunbridge Wells at the Steam Railway with Lady K Loves shooting some new items for Autumn Winter. It was a fantastic day and the initial shots look amazing. I have a load of behind the scenes video that I’m going to edit over the next few days to give you a sneak preview of the shoot and the collection, before it goes live on the website in September.
For the long journey home from Kent this afternoon I want something comfortable, so a (very) old Mickey & Minne Mouse T Shirt and a pencil skirt with slight stretch offered the requisite comfort with a dash of smartness. I was rather taken with the juxtaposition of the Micky Mouse T Shirt and smart looking pencil skirt so I decided to play it up a bit more by wearing my pearls.
I had planned to take a couple of photos outside, but it’s absolutely bucketing with rain, so I went for posing at the bottom of my Parents stairs instead, but unfortunately the lights not that great inside!
A pencil skirt might seem like an odd choice to travel in, but the truth is I very rarely travel in jeans as I find them really uncomfortably and restrictive to sit down in for any length of time. I’ve never really understood the reputation of jeans as a comfortable wardrobe item, I’m far more comfortable in skirts!

I also went for flicky eyeliner this morning. The last time I mentioned that I got asked for close up photos, so here’s some of me pulling an incredibly serious face. It’s very difficult to take photos of your own eyes….
This weekend I shall be off to a friends Anniversary party where there will be Football and Pimms.
I hope you all have equally lovely weekend plans!

ok I seriously love this outfit! It is so cool! So gonna try replicate in some way…
Make sure you show it! I’d love to see!
That t-shirt is too cute!
Great outfit. I especially likes the shoes and your flicky eyeliner.
I love that tee! Super cute. x
Looks fab…it’s odd how a combo ‘shouldn’t work’, but in reality it does. x
I also think that jeans are quite uncomfortable. That’s not to say I don’t wear them, I do, but I often try to avoid wearing them for long journeys too!
I love that skirt its gorgeous, your eye makeup looks fab too.
What an insouciant outfit! Very clever and cute. And I agree with you about jeans.
I heart that t-shirt with the skirt, a lush mix of two different retros – pretty lady.
