Happy Bank Holiday Monday ladies, doesn't Monday feel that much better when it's a three day weekend?!!
So today it's time for another fab 40s post & after each of us having picked a theme we've decided to add a different element to out monthly posts & each month feature a guest blogger. This month it was back to Sheela to pick a theme & blogger & she choose menswear & invited Jennie from A Pocketful Of Polka Dots to join us.
Now I have a couple of items in my wardrobe that could be classed as menswear - boyfriend jeans & the oversized shirt. So for today I've decided to go with the boyfriend shirt, a great wardrobe staple that's never going to date & is perfect for breathing new life into your wardrobe. Timeless & elegant it can so easily be dressed up with leather leggings as it can be dressed down with trainers & distressed denim.
For today's post I'm teaming it with another wardrobe staple the biker jacket & this one from Marks is simply stunning. Now after a fabulous night out last night, which involved cocktails, bubbles & plenty of laughter you'll be pleased to know this picture wasn't taken the morning after the night before......I wouldn't subject you to that!!

Right I'm off to crash on the sofa after waking up bright & early & seeing the weather we've ditched our original plans of hunting down some bargains at the antique fair & instead are bunking down for a quiet one indoors.....bliss :-)
Have a lovely Bank Holiday Monday & see you in the morning.
