My Style - A colour for every occasion

 An urban adventure

This is the sort of outfit I wear all the time in the cooler weather. I bought three similar styles of dress in different colours one year when I realised how practical and flattering they are. If you haven’t tried stretchy leggings with a tunic-type dress, then give it a go!

This is me off on a local urban adventure – teaching Ethics at the local school. It’s a volunteer thing that I do to contribute to the school and not feel so guilty about never doing canteen duty. The bag is a bit special. I bought it for myself last week to celebrate my 1 year blogaversary. I think these little moments deserve to be marked don’t you?

  • Anna : Colour me Anna

    I love this little gallery of your outfits. It gives me a bit of inspiration for what (AM I?) I am going to wear to lunch next week 🙂

  • I love that dress, the style, the colour and everything! And I have my eye on a bag just like that because I’m celebrating quitting my job! Of course, I’ll need the bag in case I am lucky enough to find a new position! 🙂

    • Woohoo! Bring on the celebrations! Can I ask your wise opinion lovely? Is it clear there’s a gallery of slides to browse through or do I need to say something in the intro? Thanks my love x

      • Doh! I didn’t realise there was a gallery! Woot! Yeah, I missed it but that might be because I was too mesmerised by the red dress and ace handbag. Wouldn’t hurt to say something in the intro, it would be a shame to miss out on all those lovely outfits! And thanks for linking to my ladies that lunched post xx

    Love the green Frock and had no idea about the CR outlet site. Hold me back!!
    Happy bloggaversary too! Loving the Mimco bag so much. So important to treat yourself from time to time and celebrate life’s milestones!
    Xx

    • The Outlet is worth popping into from time to time Shannon. They might not have anything nice or it might not be in your size, but there are some absolute treasures in there sometimes!

    I love every one of those outfits! I’m a big fan of tunics with leggings and that red dress is gorgeous. Never knew about the Country Road Outlet site – thanks for that tip! I also learnt a new word – “snood”. I love scarves and that snood looks very toasty!

    • A snood is an excellent word to know in winter! The best ones are one continuous loop big enough to fit around your neck twice comfortably. Seed has some lovely ones.

  • Lu @looking for mama me

    absolutely love that red dress! that’s a very me kind of dress. Must go find it!!!

    • Isn’t it fab! Sadly it’s a year or two old now, but I am stalking Country Road in the hope they will put something similar out again!

  • Karin @ Calm to Conniption

    Your kid wrangling outfit is definitely my style but I love the colours in you dress for the ladies lunch. It is beautiful. Love the colours!
