A few weeks ago I featured outfits which give me confidence. This was one of my most popular posts, which shows the one thing we're all looking for is confidence!When we're having a "fat day" a long jacket is good for the confidence, while a shot of red says that we're feeling on top of the world. We still need a jacket at this time of year but instead of a black jacket I'm wearing an ivory one. I'm still using the same felt flowers for a pop of color.
I loved the poppy skirt as soon as I saw it - I like the fluting edge of the skirt. The skirt is by Precis Petite, but although at 5'5 (165cms) I'm not petite, I find their clothes usually fit me fine so it doesn't put me off. The white sandals, with mid-height perspex heels, have been a big hit with me because they're very comfortable.
I've had the jacket for two years and the top is also an oldie, but they're both incredibly useful. Firstly they're not a bright white. Bright white suits very few people: I try to look for ivory or soft white (which Kettlewell sell).
The top has a cute Peter Pan collar in pearls. I'd like to find a red top that matches the poppies, so I'm on the look out.
Is there a particular color or combination that makes you happy for summer?
