Vintage Style Floral Midi Skirt with Pink Brogues

Hello, I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend.
My children and I stayed Sunday night at my parents’ home and  it feels like I’ve been away on a mini holiday. My mum’s cooking on Sunday and lunch out yesterday meant I had a welcome break from cooking and I’m now looking forward to spending some time with my children during their school holiday, interspersed of course with work and blogging

Thank you very very much to all of you who voted for me in the Aspire Style blogger challenge. I’m absolutely thrilled to say that I won!

Aspire Style are kindly offering readers of my blog a 10% discount with the code LIZZY10, so do go and take a look.

In the challenge I wore this Jolie Moi vintage style floral midi skirt with a simple long-sleeved black top, a bright yellow necklace and orange shoes. Despite the decidedly un-springlike weather on Easter Sunday I wore it with a soft pink top, an aqua short-sleeved cardigan, (that I first wore almost 13 years ago at my brother’s wedding), and my beyond gorgeous peachy pink brogues. The blustery conditions afforded me a Marilyn moment and showed the fullness of the skirt off beautifully.

My mum brought these daffodils on Saturday when we celebrated my daughter’s birthday. They are so cheerful and for me they epitomise the optimism and promise of the new season.

      Thank you so much. I'm not sure about it myself!!! I loved it at the time and like every individual element, but I think there might be too much going on?
      The brogues are divine though. I love them. They're so comfy and so so pretty. Have a lovely weekend and hugs to you too xxxxx

    You carry off those soft colours beautifully! And that skirt suits you to utter perfection. I'm so glad you had a lovely Easter weekend and got a little bit spoiled – you absolutely deserve it.
    Love Michelle x

      Thank you Michelle. I'm really not sure if I like the whole ensemble now! I love every individual piece but I don't know if to a bit too much all together? I do love the skirt so much and the brogues too though. And yes, a lovely Easter weekend and nice to have a day or two off the cooking! xxxx

    Look wonderful, just wonderful. The skirt is really gorgeous, and the rest of the look, combining the two tones, pale pink and light blue, it's fantastic. The shoes are gorgeous, and flowers help to complete a great outfit. Congratulations, you look really beautiful and elegant.

~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~ Yesterday, @benjaminoptici ~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~
Yesterday, @benjaminopticians, we had an open day to celebrate the practice’s 70th birthday. I was delighted to be sharijg the full collection of @specs_by_prue courtesy of @mac_eyewear_uk_ireland. It is a stunning, vibrant collection which is very wearable, very comfortable and beautifully fabricated. I always encourage patients to try something out of their comfort zone and it’s amazing how many will fall in love with a style they wouldn’t have gravitated to. 
I’m wearing model 22012 in colourway 3, tortoiseshell and aqua (with my prescription lenses in). Swipe to see it in detail and in other colourways.

I mentioned on my blog that I was stalking the matching trousers to this fabulous @me_andem jacket. My tenacity paid off and they came back into stock in my size so I duly snapped them up. And..they’re fab. I can’t wait to wear them both as a suit and as separates.

Ian and I went into Leeds for dinner last night to a fab restaurant (I’ll share photos later because the food was excellent). It’s our wedding anniversary on Monday so this was our celebration. I only got the jacket a few days ago and I absolutely love it. I’m going to wear it again later for a lunch date with Poppy. I’ll put all outfit details on my blog later on if I get the chance 🩷.

I “rediscovered” this @boden_clothing citrus-yellow necklace a few weeks ago when I was sorting through my boxes of costume jewellery. It reminds me of my early blogging days when a Breton top with a statement necklace were my school-run staples. Hard to believe that was a decade ago. 
Anyway, I’m glad I found it because I still love it 🍋.

~Wedding dress-up~
I loved playing wedding dress-up for @stepper.eyewear. Not every bride wants to wear contact lenses so we chose some beautiful styles that would make the perfect wedding eyewear. Remember that there is a choice of European, Asian and African fits too to suit different facial characteristics for #theperfectfit. All details on the STEPPER Eyewear website and on my blog. Links to both are 👆🏻.
This is model SI-30192👰🏼 
(The stained glass is in our hall @built_in_1873 by the way. This was one of the original features that stole our hearts when we viewed the house).
