Oooh don't you just love a Saturday morning lie in....not that I seem to be able to sleep in (still awake at 5:30!) but it's lovely just to be able to lie in bed & snooze or spend some time catching up & browsing on the iPad before tea & biscuits in bed (our weekend treat :-) ).
A day of the usual Saturday morning errands, karate run & treats from the supermarket, with perhaps a little research *shopping* thrown in ;-)
This weekend we're determined not to have such a busy job filled one so are hoping to get everything out of the way before a lazy late lunch & then an evening on the sofa watching a good film or two.
So onto my outfits & firstly here's what I wore for our date night last night. Having fallen in love with boyfriend jeans last summer I'm now loving a slightly looser fit trouser too & LOVE these faux leather ones from Zara, although if you don't want them too baggy in the crotch area I'd advise sizing down!

And for a day of errands & a lazy lunch for two I've decided to wear a mixture of navy & black, a colour scheme I probably wouldn't have dreamed of wearing a couple of years ago but absolutely love wearing now.

So what do you think are you a navy & black outfit kind of girl or do you firmly believe the two colours shouldn't be worn together? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Have a great Saturday & see you in the morning.
Navy and black look really good together (as do blue and green - the other oft mentioned no-no combo). I think the secret is to be confident in what colours you wear and let the clothes do the talking!
ReplyDeleteLove your zara jacket & the shoes in the first pic
:0)
Paul
Ooh yes that's another great colour combo Paul that I love wearing. Thought I'd mix things up a bit with the red leopard print shoes for Date night ;-)

I like how you wear the baggy leather look, when people go too big with them they look like kids who have filled their nappies. But your look relaxed yet fitted enough.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alexandra that's the exact comment my hubby made when I tried my normal size on, it sooo wasn't a flattering look!!!! Sizing down has given me the look I wanted & I'm loving that slightly looser fit. Thanks for the compliment :-)

ReplyDeleteAhh thanks Lynne, you've made my day :-) Such a lovely compliment :-) Needless to say I didn't stop yesterday but today's another day & fingers crossed there'll be plenty of relaxation on the cards!!!! Hope you're having a fab weekend too.

I'm the same as you, wouldn't have dreamed of it a while ago but now I'm all for a little clash and mix it up! Looks great and I LOVE that scarf on you. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalie, the scarf is a beaut isn't it. I ordered two colour ways as soon as I saw it & of course they both ended up in my wardrobe!!!

Blimey Jane, 5.30am is early, although I'm finding as the mornings get lighter I'm waking up earlier :( I was out running at 7.30am this morning!! Love your date night outfit, fab trousers & I love the necklace! It's also great to see your lovely face....gorgeous scarf! x
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Sian :-) & yes unfortunately my mind clicks in of a weekend at the time I'd be getting up in the week...I really need to find an off switch but I'm still searching!!!
DeleteJane xx
I hope you had a lovely date night! I love your navy & black look! Its fab on you! Ax
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea & yup date night was fab :-)

I've always loved navy and black together and used to wear it to work when I had a job. I don't think it was because I was particularly stylish - more it was just what I had to wear and it looked okay (in my eyes) at the time.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see a full picture of you - looking beautiful :o)
Ahh thanks Sue :-) & I'm sure you looked highly stylish in your navy & black for work....I can't imagine you looking any other way.

That is a lovely picture of you Jane. I like your' hair. Funny I like doing 'research' shopping it just sounds so much better. H xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen & yes who can complain when you say you're doing 'research'?!!! ;-)
