This week,
Today's colour is grey. Much easier - I had planned to wear lovely grey wool shorts, but as usual hadn't ironed my shirt and the shorts looked weird with a tshirt. So wore the grey tweedy skirt instead:

*linking because I love
The one above is the asymmetrical shawl style. This is a kind of drapey bolero -
...and a sort of waistcoat:
 |
| shawl - Muji (fantastic Japanese-designed clothes) tshirt - Whistles scarf - Accessorise skirt- NW3 Hobbs grey tights - M&S plus secret shoes |
That's the last day of the challenge! I liked it, thanks very much to Megan Mae & Keely for setting it up.
Anyhoooo, the weekend is here. My stomach is still misbehaving somewhat so I took it to my herbalist this afternoon for a stern talking-to. I am going to try cutting out a few food types later in the month (oh the joy), but in the meantime, the herbal teas and tincture I have been prescribed are excellent, and I think making a big difference in the day-to-day.
I also bought some beautiful flowers -

This weekend brings a haircut, a dinner out for my friend's birthday and travel on Sunday to London for a Monday work thing (it'll be fun, though and I think I'd rather stay over than get up on Monday at a decidedly ungodly hour).
What are you all up to?
Ohwow! That is an awesome piece of clothing. I love it best as either the shawl or waistcoat, but it's adorable any way.
ReplyDeleteI'm catching up on laundry this weekend because I need to wash up some new stuff that I thrifted. I've got a paper to write and hopefully a book to read.
I need to get back to drinking my peppermint. My tummy has been rather upset too, I think from a bug that's been going around. I've cut back on dairy in my diet and it's helped some. Hope you feel better soon.
Your weekend sounds good, and I am also trying to tackle a laundry mountain!
DeleteThe plan is to cut out dairy and grain - particularly wheat - to see if that makes any difference. Peppermint tea is my saviour.
What an awesome shawl! I love the waistcoat look the most.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to a Vintage Fair, and an art exhibit opening (at which I'll be one of the artists!). Very exciting. :)
Sounds like a great weekend. You are so talented Sheila. I remember your great post recap of a painting trip with your Mum.

Let me count the greys would be a good description of my hair, in its natural state!
ReplyDeleteIt isn't a colour I do very often, but you look lovely in it, that shawl has a bewildering amount of possibilities!
Looks great with the blue too.
Gorgeous flowers.
Nothing very exciting planned for the weekend, went out for a curry with the kids last night (thank god we have got to the stage where they have found things they like at the curry house, it's such a relief!) xxxx
Grey has become one of my base colours. It used to be brown brown brown but I have diversified into brown grey and blue.
ReplyDeleteGreat news re: your children's eating habits! X
Very pretty. Hope your tummy feels better.
