Hello! How are we all?
I took Friday off to meet my Mum and catch up, lunch and shop (the fruits of which are a future post). So I was fairly rested as Saturday rocked around... I dressed for warmth and comfort on a cold and windy day to seek out a new coat for Mr SS. I am holding another new tshirt from Muji (as posted here), this time in a size Medium so suitable for the gift-receiver (unlike the Small, which I gifted - to me).

| what am I doing? No idea. jeans with sewn-in pjs - Howies navy jumper - Jigsaw striped top - Jigsaw silk scarf - Liberty via Oxfam (charity shop) trainers - converse |
Now, I believe the Ancient Greek gods were looking down on us today (and laughing). We took a very satisfying trip to local independent shop Mele*, who specialise in coats. Mr SS tried on a lot of waxed coats with some help from the owners who definitely Know Their Stock, and found - with their help - exactly what he was looking for. No mean feat. We then walked back via a local deer park. About halfway across the park, it started to rain heavily... then hail...
*Linking because I love, and because of their care & enthusiasm today
Look, though - it really is waterproof!

So I am staying home and being slothful tomorrow! What are you all up to? Have you been hailed on / given some type of Fashion Weather Test by the Greek Gods?
OMG! I was wondering what you were holding. I thought it was a little cake at first. Congrats on weathering the sudden storm, and taking that beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteLiving where I do, we have very sudden weather shifts. Today was so warm, I wore short sleeves and sandals. The worst I've weathered is lots of wind!
Very cute. Like Megan, I thought you were holding a piece of cake.
ReplyDeleteI may have to start posing with cake now! :-)
DeleteYou are lucky to have Greek gods, the ones who hang here are locals and looove to make it rain and then laugh at us. Like today, caught in a little squall. Awesome rainproof sheath there! And awesome bronze shoes, good for godlike flying about. I like the story of the sock switcheroonie in the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteI think we looked rather funny, changing our socks!
DeleteTeeny tiny packaged-up t-shirt! And great posing!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's always good to know a purchase is fit for purpose - Mr SS has one fully waterproof coat there! The Gothic photo is beautiful, and if you have wet feet, you need dry socks, doesn't matter where you are!
PS. Btw, which bit of rural Bucks is Mr SS from? xxxxx

DeleteDoh, managed to delete my reply...
DeleteThat is such a pretty picture - very gothic indeed.
ReplyDeleteI was hailed on once when I was out on a morning run - that was not so much fun!
ReplyDeleteLooks like that coat really does it's job!!
The park is so lovely. I've bought socks and switched inside the store or just outside it, so I'm pretty sure it is very classy and beneficial for sock manufacturer's too. I am jonesin' for your scarf, and wondering what jeans/jammies are :o
ReplyDeletePj's sewn inside my jeans! The.warmest.jeans.ever and I feel like I have a hilarious secret - I'm wearing my pj's outside.. etc... !
