Yep, I'm off out again. This time we're popping into the Fiftieth birthday party of a biker guy I've known since I was an impressionable teenager. It hardly seems like five minutes ago since we were celebrating his 30th, so scary how time flies. He's still riding his Harley, donning leathers (albeit a few sizes bigger) and wearing his hair jet black.
You've seen my dress before (again, the obligatory biker's black) but I'm wearing my trusty TopShop jacket over it. I've had this jacket for over seven years now, it's seen many an eventful night, gig, festival and even a total hip replacement. It's been through a lot, bless it.
On the subject of TopShop I picked these suede boots up from there today. I'd had my eye on them for ages but know if I wait the price will always come down in the end. My patience paid off and there was just one pair left, in my size, for a bargain £10.
So comfortable which is just as well as the pub's a mile-long walk away.
I'm heavy on the vintage silver tonight, including a 1970's Celtic bird pendant and a stack of silver coloured brass bangles inherited from my Mum. The vintage Edwardian carpet bag's a family heirloom.
Happy Friday to you all!
Demure and lovely!

Have a wonderful night, you look fantabulous. That frock is great and jacket goes so well. I would be scared to take that bag to the pub incase I lost it it's precious.

You look very glam. And those boots....yet another brilliant bargain - and georgous. Have a lovely night.
ReplyDeletePatience is the key in Topshop! I never buy anything in there full price because I'll be gutted when it's half price in the sale.
ReplyDeleteLooking lovely as ever, enjoy the pub.

ReplyDeleteAre you going to have pork scratchings and a pint or is this a posh shindig? WAIT, back up, did you say hip replacement? There is always something new to learn about you, you sly minx!

You look rather like an Edwardian lady with that jacket over that skirt never mind the carpet bag. I have a strange affection for Harley Davidsons despite no ability for riding motorcycles!
ReplyDeleteLove the skirt!
