October WIW - fickle spring looks

Hi All

It has been a super fickle spring here. It is definitely a cool one with the odd hot day interspersed. I want to wear lighter clothes but every third day I am back in jeans and boots.

Here are three (plus a bonus) recent looks.

1) Off to a production of " We Will Rock You". Second wear of new jumpsuit. The heels and old collar necklace came out (if you can't do a crazy necklace in a Queen show when can you?

2) Work today. It is cold. Lots of camel and caramel. Hair tied back - I am growing it so I can tie it back for my upcoming half marathon. Looking forward to a chop soon!!

3) Casual Saturday shopping for new sneakers. It felt more flattering than it looks in the photo - super casual. The photo gives me pause though as it is widening........ maybe a more fitted top with these wide crops.

4) And yesterday I realised I was matchy matchy at the gym. Top, nails, Shoes and drink bottle. What a look!! I did post this on instagram so a couple of you may have seen it there.

For those following I have reached my 30 limit for the year - my running shoes needed updating. So I am not putting myself on a strict ban but only buying to replace anything that fails or absolute HEWI's (I have a couple in mind).

Just adding pics now.

Our Spring weather has been the same - coolish with the odd warm day.

You look terrific in the gold and caramel tones. It’s a great look for Spring. Maybe try semi tucking the top in no 3? And yay for matchy matchy. I want teal sneakers so I can go matchy matchy teal when exercising. Anything that makes exercise more fun is worth pursuing!

Cee

Yay to that, Brooklyn... I had a fan going yesterday, wearing a T-shirt and today I'm wearing a knit poloneck jumper !

Sal

Haha Brooklyn - I think it is my 1980s aerobics side coming out. And yes to teal for you. I might try that semi tuck - it looked fine for a casual day but the photo is definitely unflattering.....

Cee - as long as you are not really in a cowl neck you are fine. Or are you?

My doctor stamped my forehead " safe around sharp objects."

...and the Evil Cowlneck has since quit Twitter correspondence with Putin and Kim Jong, so I'm hoping for a change for the better

It's still a bit disconcerting it still sits behind a large desk stroking a white persian cat while wearing a grey nehru collar tunic.

12 step program, I guess !!

You rock that shade of toffee, Sal. Gorgeous with your hair.

Another yay for matchy-matchy. Why not!

Loving those light blue sneaks. Wonder if they will work with your duck egg blue blazer? I'm with, Brooklyn. Try semi-tucking the top with the culottes.

Jaime

Love your Queen show outfit, and the golden tones look beautiful on you with jeans also. I think the third outfit looks good too - it looks different with a moving body rather than a posed photo. Great gym co-ord!

I will wear that combo tomorrow Angie! Yet to try it but it should work.

Jenn

I wish I looked that good in camel. It is seriously great on you. Dare I say “sophisticated”?!

Thanks Jenn - I am enjoying it at the moment. Although outfit 2 I am very tired of (the boots are 7 years old, the jeans are worn most weeks twice and I am a bit over this shape of sweater). But when you work in aviation engineering it is silly to be too precious about things!!

Shevia - I surprised myself with my gym coordination. I am usually quite mismatched:)

Gigi

I'm loving the camel outfit. It is fall here, and your outfit seems so cozy. Though I'm sure you're ready for some nicer weather!

In outfit no. 3, I agree that a shorter, fitted top would probably do wonders for streamlining the outfit. It's so hard to wear volume on top and bottom.

I always love your hair. I especially like it in the third outfit.

Kyle

The column of black jumpsuit outfit looks great.

Katerina

You look gorgeous in the gold and caramel colours - so beautiful on you. I LOVE the outfit you wore to the Queen show. One of your best ever.
Super cute matchy matchy for the gym!

Thank you Katerina. I have several styling ideas for the jumpsuit - I just need it to get warmer!!

Thx Kyle - I love it too.

Gigi - my hair is a bit wooly right now and I am keen to go shorter again I think. I plan to tweak the crop look a bit - maybe tan sandals, a semi tuck, or a different top. Tucking would work with different shoes (the pants have a black waistband which is nice but not good for all tops).

Nice! The jumpsuit is so awesome!

kellygirl

Wow! That caramel color is divine on you. Great fall looks! Love them all!

I like all three looks. I don’t mind the volume on volume.
You were absolutely made to wear camel.
Looks glorious with your complexion.

Helena

Ditto Jenn on the caramel, and ditto Angie and others on the semi-tuck for outfit 3. I love that bold coral (?) colour on you and a great matchy-match look!

Bijou

Sal the jumpsuit is gorgeous on you. I am in awe - a half marathon - you are such an inspiration. YES you need new running shoes, shopping limits are not meant for essentials.
