White Riot

It's been a perfect Summer's day here in the Midlands, I've spent the afternoon lounging on the lawn in a bikini (a vintage one naturally, darlings!) while Jon brought refreshments out on demand. 

I bought this 1970s cruise dress from a chazza back in December (last worn HERE), it's been languishing in the wardrobe ever since awaiting a suitably warm evening and tonight's the night.

Not that we're doing much more than drinking wine and chilling on the deck but as you well know, a day without dressing up is a day wasted.

Barry M Mint Green worn with bangles from Janne (on the right), inherited bangles and white enamel ones from a friend in India (on the left) and a turquoise ring from Miss Magpie.

The fabulous Ivy Black sent me these pretty glass beads.

I've accused Jon of making me look stupidly short in these photos but he pointed out that's how nature made me and that I'd have to get over it or go and put some shoes on & start again and as I'm all for keeping it real and blogging about what I'm actually wearing here I am in my stumpy, short-arsed glory.

It's an early start tomorrow as the jumble sale kicks off at the godforsaken hour of 9am in the morning so best not get too carried away with the rosé if I'm doing battle with the legendary Black Country grannies!

Have a fabulous weekend & see you soon.
