Oversized OOTD

What caption shall we award this photo?

Am I eating my hand here or am I giving someone a rude hand gesture behind a smug smile?

Sadly I didn’t have any alternative shots to put in this post so we make do with this questionable one. I could have asked the husband to kindly volunteer for another “shoot” but seeing as he acts like Kevin the Teenager (watch the video from about 1minute in for an idea of what that means - Link! ) whenever I request an OOTD I decided against it.

I wore this yesterday and, if I am being honest, also the day before. It’s all about oversized comfort and there is something very nice about wearing simple separates. The jeans were absolutely filthy by the time we got round to taking this photo – the perils of wearing white!

Jeans: French Connection

Top: H&M (old)

Blazer: Zara (old)

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

Shoes: Zara (old)

Bag: Givenchy Antigona (small) - Link!

I think the key bit here is the blazer. There is nothing like a boyish blazer to hide a multitude of sins and bring a bit of a Chloe-esque vibe. This one is from Zara and a few seasons old but there are so many good versions about at the moment including one from French Connection which is currently on sale on ASOS….and no, I am not sponsored by ASOS in anyway (that would be nice!), I am just an addict that clicks on “New In” as part of their daily morning ritual.

In other news

How’s this for a total subject 180? Today I had to go along to a clinic for a second ultrasound followed by a mammogram – an oddly emotional experience.

Since hearing Stacey’s news I have been very conscious of health and when I felt a lump in my right breast last week, I went to the doctors straight away.  After an ultrasound that revealed lesions, they referred me to a specialist. It turns out I have lots of the little bleeders. Thankfully they are benign cysts but there is nothing like a jolt of reality to make you realize how important it is not to take your health for granted.

It’s funny isn’t it? I often spend so much energy on the external, visiting hairdressers, getting manicures and other superficial treatments and yet am often tempted to put off the appointments that really matter.

This was a firm reminder not to be so foolish and I have since booked in an overdue smear exam and would encourage anyone else to do the same.

Hope you are all very well!
