Date Night & OOTD - And It May Involve A New Jacket!!!

Well all good plans & all that!!!!  Today I was supposed to be off out bright & early for a fun filled day with my mum as part of her Mother's Day celebrations.  With a full make over at Bobbi Brown booked for my mum & then a spot of shopping followed by a leisurely lunch with bubbles (naturally ;-) ) a little bit more shopping (to burn the calories off from lunch you understand!!) followed by afternoon tea.  But unfortunately I instead woke up to a text saying she'd been feeling unwell during the night & despite her best efforts to feel better she wasn't going to make this morning :-(  So she's currently sleeping in the hope that when she wakes she feels bright enough to cram our day out together into a few precious hours this afternoon.  I know once she's feeling better she's going to be so cross that she wasn't well enough for today but as I said to her earlier there's always another time & I'd rather she got herself right so that we can enjoy the day fully.  After all I can't think of anything worse than being out & about if you're not feeling well.

So instead hubby has got the pleasure of my company, which means his birthday celebrations continue & we're off out for a spot of lunch, so here's what I've decided to wear.




Tuxedo Jacket - Zara
T-Shirt - Zara
Bracelets - Gemini-Woman & Ashiana
Necklace - Handmade
Bag - Boden
Faux Leather Trousers - Zara
Shoes - Mint Velvet


And to steal my style.

Tuxedo Jacket - Reiss £245
T-Shirt - Zara £17.99
Faux Leather Trousers - Zara £29.99
Shoes - Next £32


And quickly here's what I wore to celebrate hubby's meal last night....a lovely meal & couple of hours spent with my favourite two people ever...hubby & son...perfection!




Shell Top - Tesco
Bracelet - J Crew
Blazer - Zara
Jeans - Zara
Bag - Boden
Shoes - Next


Recreate my look here.


Styling Of A Classic Blazer


Shell Top - Tesco £12
Bracelet - J Crew £125
Blazer - Zara £79.99
Jeans - ASOS £32


As you can see I 'may' have had a new addition to my jacket collection :-0  I'm afraid I couldn't resist this beauty....but in line with my new wardrobe rules I have got rid of an existing navy blazer PLUS a coatigan....which by my reckoning means I'm one up so the halo is still shining ;-)

So can you tell I'm in love with my new Boden bag?!!! Such a great size for fitting all the essentials in especially as the sun is shining & it can even accommodation my sunglasses too :-)

Hope the sun is shining with you & that whatever you're up to you're having a great day.  See you in the morning after breakfast in bed......well I can hope!!!

    1. Thanks Helen & I'm totally blaming Sue for the Tesco tops. I'd seen them but hubby had talked me out of them then as soon as I saw Sue raving about them I knew they needed purchasing & they are fab aren't they!
