Pom Pom Jeans, A Red Ruffle Blouse And A Touch Of Glitter.

Pom poms are one of my favourite adornments. They’re light-hearted. Fun. Frivolous. And I’ve been looking for some black jeans for a while, so imagine my delight when I spotted these rather fabulous black pom pom jeans.

They’re from Marks and Spencer (click here) which is from where I’ve bought more this season than anywhere else. One reason is because when Harry has weekly football training in Harrogate, I can nip into the town centre for an hour. I spend most of that time in M&S, until it closes. At that time, it’s quiet so I can peruse to my heart’s content and my bank balance’s dismay. I find it easier to navigate a store than it is their website.  There are currently several “hero” pieces on my radar and in my closet. You have already seen the gorgeous constellation midi dress that I wore for my birthday and I have a red velvet pleated midi skirt, that I’m saving for just a few more weeks. The skirt epitomises Christmas and comes in navy, gold and red too, all equally desirable.  Things in M&S have a habit of selling out fast, so I didn’t want to miss out on it. Something I’ve regretted in the past.

Back to the jeans though. They’re a slim fit and I got them in a size 12 long. (I’m 5 ft 9 and a UK dress size 10-12). The online reviews said the jeans come up slightly small. I agree, so the 12 is a good fit. They’re also available in indigo and in petite and regular lengths. (My shoes are from Topshop about three years ago, but there are some black ones and some red ones here in M&S which are very similar and only £29.50 and some in Boden which have a higher price point but which are absolutely beautiful).

The ruffle round neck long-sleeved blouse is also from M&S. I love the vibrant shade and the feminine ruffle and lace details. It’s available in cream too. It’s this year’s version of the cream blouse I wore last year with wide-legged trousers.

My earrings are from Eternal Collection. I can’t find them anymore on the website so I think they must have sold out. They were from last year. I have a gorgeous new collaboration with them coming soon, so keep an eye open for that. The leather metallic clutch bag is from House of Fraser and is currently reduced. You might remember that I wore it as a wristlet when I went on a girls night out a few weeks ago. On this occasion, it was for a dinner date with Ian, which was, as always, wonderful.

    Pom pom jeans, what a great idea. You’re right about buying good things in M&S when you see them. I saw a gorgeous pink metallic skirt a few weeks ago but was in a rush so didn’t get it. I was sad to find it sold out.

      Oh that’s such a shame Gail. I’ve lost count of the times that I’ve done the same and then regretted it. And yes, the pom poms are great aren’t they? xxx

    Wow, what an eye for details in this outfit. I think I love the pompoms most of all of them. The whole outfit has got an enormous party vibe and one that invites for a long night out as well. I can imagine you are very comfortable wearing it. Love, Lieske

    LOVE this!! I regularly go for the great pants and ordinary tops yet you’ve certainly roused me to attempt the bolder hues! what’s more, this are the best mix particularly the unsettle top looks so glitz and the method for styled this looks so charming..

    My oh my, this red and black combination looks stunning with your blond hair! I’m a recent convert to all things red and really love this ruffle blouse for its femininity. The pom pom trim looks fun and is something I think I may try my hand at as a little diy project. Thanks for the inspiration!

      Oh thank you Anna. I love all things red too- such an uplifting and vibrant colour. And yes, it’d be very easy to add a pom pom trim to an existing pair of jeans xxxx

~ 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 🍋.
