Barrel Jeans and Woven Mary Janes

 And #TuesdayTwirl

Is This Mutton on what she wore to the Turner amd Constable exhibition in London


Dear friends. As our "faux Spring" draws to an end for the time being, I was thrilled to get away with just a short jacket over jeans and a shirt for a visit to the Turner & Constable art exhibition.

Barrel jeans are still everywhere and I liked the mocha colour of these, from Reiss. One of the big trends for Spring Summer is woven Mary Jane shoes. I wear mostly flat shoes and it's great to see this style in vogue. Mine are current, from John Lewis. They were comfortable from the get-go.

Styling Barrel Jeans

 And #Tuesday Twirl 

Over 60 blogger Gail Hanlon from Is This Mutton styles the new denim trend, barrel jeans

Dear friends.  They're the sell out sensation that are surprisingly flattering. I'm talking about barrel jeans, having seized what seemed like the last two pairs in M&S recently. 

I tried barrel jeans a few months ago from a different brand but didn't like them. Now I love them, and will show you today how I've been styling them.
