Oh My Stars

Well what a piddling miserable day its been.  It has been up North anyway.  You know the type, relentlessly overcast and raining non stop.  April is certainly living up to its reputation, a cliche though it may be.

Haven't much to say really.  I went to work I got wet.  I came home from work, I got wet, despite using this lovely item to keep me dry 


I thought I would defy the grey weather and combat it with colour, frills and polka dots


Yes I have covered my face with a flower.  Seriously, I cannot pose when someone is taking my picture.  I get all self conscious and giggly, and in this case, end up looking like the Disney version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.  But I still wanted to show off my umbrella!


I should just stick to my tried and tested moody, looking away stance



You may recall this cardigan from a few posts ago.  I decided to go with the glittery star buttons in the end, they just make me smile.


Cardigan - Matalan, customised by me
Blouse - Charity shop
Skirt - Primark
Tights - New Look
T-bars - Dorothy Perkins via Ebay
Brooch and necklace - Primark
Umbrella - gift from my mum

Thanks for the lovely comments and Stephen Mackey love on yesterday's post.  We must find out more about this man!

  3. Those buttons are so cute... I think buttons are such a good way of updating a cardy and I do love a novelty button. I also have something of a weakness for umbrellas, strange I know. lol. x

  6. Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucy!!!! You look so so so lovely in this outfit! Hee hee, love the Flower thing- it's like Carmen meets Eliza Doolittle meets Mary Poppins!!! That is SUCH a good idea re the cardigan and buttons! I've been meaning to do this for a while with one of my cardies (I have a Whitestuff lilac sweater with buttons like this!) and it looks brilliant on you! Thank you for reminding me!
