Caught in a Blaze




Hi people,

It's mid March & one very busy month for me.  The weather threatened a little bit of spring recently & lulled me into a false sense of security, then threw us right back into a freezing spell.  It meant I wasn't always in the mood to picture myself in the same clothes I constantly wear to keep the bitter clothes out & bore you all.

I promised you a photo of my Tux in my last blog so here it is.  Those of you who are on Facebook & have liked my Stylish AT50 page would have already seen it.

I wore it with a Black blouse & trousers, then wore statement shoes to finish off my look.  As I said previously, I personally get a little bored of just black, so thought I'd spice it up with a pop of Red.

My shoes are a few years old from Top Shop & I'd forgotten I even had them, until I went digging through the boxes in the bottom of my wardrobe.

When they got too much I took them off, and a young lady came over & asked where I'd hidden my gorgeous shoes,  She said she loved the all black with pop of colour, so I took that as affirmation that my choice paid off.  lol!

I love my Tux & I'm still smiling from my great find.










Yesterday I was out again for the evening celebrating a friends birthday.  We we all going out from work, so I had to think about sensible footwear, as tube stations are like an assultt course in heels for me.  So I worked everything around a pair of converse trainers.




I went for black trousers a green knit top with leather look arms a a large go Zippper in the back & a black Jacket which I found at half price in H&M




My Jewellery was a pair of Green & Black glass clip on earrings & Gold & green necklace.   





Jackets as well as blouses seem to be the thing at the moment & there are some great ones around at the moment.  H&M are full of them.
This one is new in shop right now.At at £24.99 it's a steal & also comes is white & black. 

Chic: Kim looked elegant and simple in her lunch outfit                                            
Kim Kardashian can be seen here wearing a similar one.

There are so many ways they can be worn.  A good jacket is a good investment.  Worn casual or dressed up, you always need one.  Here's Jada Pinkett-Smith in a Jean style blazer, worn over a vest with a scarf added.

Soon Jersey Blazer






This high school look blazer is from Matalan & only £28.00




It is a staple, so go searching.  You don't have to pay the earth for them either.  I have many & trust me, the one thing you will all know about me by now is, I don't pay over the odds for clothes. 

There are so many around, look out for them.  Don't assume you don't have the right body shape to wear them either.  Try them on, one of them will suit you & you will wonder how you ever lived without one in your wardrobe. 


Those of you who are a little brave, don't instinctively go for black, try other colours.  This is one I purchased last years in my favorite colour.  That pic was taken this time last year when we celebrated the same friends birthday & as it was warmer, I paired it with orange footwear & clutch.



If you cannot think of where to look for them, send me an Email & I will be more than happy to go searching for you.



On that note, I will say good bye for now, have a great week people.






Happy shopping.


Kind Regards
