Last Friday night was the first night out of Party Season. We had a girls’ night to celebrate three of our birthdays, an annual event I always look forward to. These friends are all local and we met because our children all attended the same primary school. The oldest of these have now gone off to university, but we stay in regular contact and never go too long without some form of catch-up.

Ian took these photos of me before I went out. The Canal Basin in Skipton always looks pretty, but never more so when the sun is just setting.

Multi-Coloured Star Top

I’ve bought a few new things lately including this multi-coloured star top and the wide leg cropped jeans.

I’ve always loved stars, particularly on winter clothing. This multi-coloured star top is new this season, but it’s lightweight enough to wear in warmer weather. It’s a good all-rounder!

I love the shirred elastic cuff detail.

My double star ring is a favourite. I love the matt gold but it’s available in silver too. The multi-coloured glitter clutch is also from Boden, but from about five years ago. (I have a matching belt which you can see in a few of these photos and matching Mary-Jane shoes too).

Wide Leg Cropped Jeans

I had my eye on these Boden York Cropped Jeans since last spring but because summer was so warm, I didn’t order them. They’re now reduced to £42 and I bought them when I got the girlfriend jeans that I’m wearing in the previous post.

Boden York cropped jeans

They’re still available in almost every size. They have more than a nod to the seventies about them, a trend that will continue for the forseeable future, so I know they will get plenty of wear.  I’m 5 ft 9 inches, (175cm) tall and I’m wearing the UK size 12 long. I’d say they fit slightly small so size up if you’re between sizes. (There are still a lot of very good reductions in the Boden mid-season clearance so it’s worth taking a look).

I’ve had these darker-than-normal leopard print shoes for two years now and I still get a buzz from wearing them. They’re clearly very high, but they are really quite unbelievably comfortable.

And Finally…

With the girls’ permission, here are a few photos from our evening out.

    Akkkkk Liz those jeans look so good on you… I wish they suited me as I love them (it’s your long legs that does it)!! This is one of my favourite outfits of yours – the blouse is beautiful too. But to be honest add that smile of yours to anything and it’ll look good…! Glad you had a fab time 😀

      Oh thank you so much. I’m really pleased with the jeans. They’re a change from my more usual boyfriends or skinnies and I like them. The top is so pretty too. I know I’ll wear both of them a lot this winter xxx

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 🩷.

~Rediscovered~ I “rediscovered” this @boden_cl ~Rediscovered~
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).

Because not every bride wants to wear contact lenses…
@stepper.eyewear has European, Asian and African fits and a multitude of colours, so there is a style for every bride. 
This is SI-30175, a supremely lightweight frame in blush titanium. And I cannot deny that I loved playing wedding dress-up for these photographs). Two more looks coming soon 👰🏼
