Off out on a bit of an adventure & jolly today & catching an early train into London to meet up with a fellow blogging buddy Natalie & also Fi the stylist from the Prima magazine shoot. Plus I'm off to a few press days - Boden, Marks & Spencer & Coast so a bit of a busy one.
Needless to say when meeting such stylish ladies there's always a bit of a drama as to what to wear....but as soon as I tried this dress on I just knew it was going to worn today. Something totally different to anything hanging in my wardrobe but I've always loved the idea of a biker jacket with a boho styled dress. I just love the style & length & whilst I'm wearing it with my biker today I just know it's going to look just as fab teamed with a blazer or denim jacket too.

Hi Jane, I love your blog and as fellow 40+ blogger I am so glad you too feel we do not need to dress like old ladies, frumpy and ashamed! I love this boho look and have a lot of similar pieces. Summer definitely seems to be on the way and April gave a us all a taste of great things to come. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your newspaper scoop, well done indeed! Enjoy the celebrity and I look forward to sharing more of life after 40 with you. Julie x
