The Breton stripes

I struck gold at the outlet mall this week.

Well, strictly speaking Teresa did because she spied a few of these Celine tops languishing on a forgotten rack. As soon as I saw it I instinctively knew I would buy it:

a) Breton stripes never go out of style
b) It has a boat neck neckline - which is very flattering
c) It is a light cotton knit that feels durable but not anywhere near as heavy as my Zara version
d) There are cute zipper details on the shoulders; and
e) It was massively reduced.

Score!

I wore it today when I popped out for brunch at Jones The Grocer (2nd week in a row...it's starting to become a habit) and I think I was aiming for Parisian chic. Well a girl can dream.... :)

And yes, the H&M denim shorts are back! It's been a few months but I am wearing them again and even daring to roll them up higher. Getting brave in my old age! :) I will say however that they do not look so good from the back as there is no structure to the soft fabric. End result? It all looks a little saggy arse. I may need to find a new more fitted pair....recommendations welcome!

As you may notice from the impossibly smug picture above - sorry about that! - I wore my Rouge Coco Shine in Boy today. I have had it for a while.

I know for a lot of you this is one of your favourite nudes. On my zero pigmentation lips it comes out with a subdued mauve tone but...I think I like it. Not going to lie to you these Rouge Coco Shines are becoming a "thing". I looked at Monte Carlo last night and I think it's going to have to be purchased.... :)

Hope you are all having a lovely Friday!
