Under My Umbrella

Why hello there

Are you keeping well?
Its rain and more rain over here which is DE-PRESSING! So i’ve decided instead of moaning to you all i’ve decided to make a short list of things i’m grateful for this week so far!
 1. I’ve finally kicked my cold up the arse and on it’s way, RESULT! Waking up being able to breathe is nice:)
2. My Son is finally speaking lots! I’ve waited and waited for the quiet little mumbler to start saying words and we are finally there. Him shouting “DAAADDDDEEEYYYY” at random men, ie the bin man, the man in tesco car park and any other general males walking about, can be slightly embarrasing, but hey i’ll take it!
3. Amazing beef and ale pie last night with hubs. NOM, NOM and NOM! it was the best, to the point where i sang that pie’s praises to anyone that would listen last night.
4. Vintage ebay deals… oh yes i am a bidding/ebaying demon! I have sold some stuff on ebay and therefore funded a whole vintage array of goodies. Can not wait for Mr Posty to deliver my goodies!
5. This pretty dress, which cost nothing as i returned something.

this was after a twirl with my twirly umbrella

Dress: Tokyo Dolls from New Look
Cardi: George at Asda
Umbrella: Matalan
Pink Pumps: Peacocks
Brooch: Vintage
Yellow Nail Polish: Barry M

So apparently my go to combo is dress, cardi, belt and flat pretty shoes. I wear this a lot don’t I! I started thinking maybe i should do something different , you know, mix it up, go a little crazy. But really, this is my fav. This is my happy (outfit) place. Girly dresses belted with cardi’s.
I seem to be having complete tights/hold ups/pantyhose issues of late. These were tights, and i went to the toilet went to pull them up and my hand went through them. I proceeded to do the exact same thing later on that day on the other side. Between that and hold ups loosing their holding up powers i give in and should just embrace (cold) bare legs!

Ok lovely’s, what ya been up to anything nice? Tell me, is the weather glorious where you are or are you suffering the rain like me!?

Take Care

    Seeing you in this pretty dress in the rain cool my soul and my doy in this tremendous heat. I also try to keep calm, but in extreme hot conditions for this time of the year.
    I couldn´t stop laughing at your son calling daddy at random men, hehehhehehe.
    I am adding you to my pinterest look this second.

    LMAO at Neo! Lillie does that too but her "birdies" some how comes out as "Daddies" which is just odd and embarrassing when there's another man walking past 🙂

    Dont stop your girly dress/belt/cardi combo, I love it and must do that more! My go to is jean/tshirt/trainers and I hate it, feel like such a rag bag!! *slinks off quietly to get changed*

    😀

    Much love sis x x x x

    It's been raining here in Dundee too for about two weeks, I have ridiculous sunshine withdrawals! Your outfit is lovely, it's always good to wear bright pretty colours on a rainy day. 🙂

    We're suffering the rain too unfortunately. And the muggy-ness. And the thunder and lightening – we had our first absolute CRACKER of a thunder storm last week and one of the nearby underpasses flooded right up to the ceiling!
    Dress and cardi combos never get dull – you cs always chop and change the dress/cardi/accessories and it looks like a completely new outfit! I love this dress, it's so pretty! Xo

    These colors are FAN-tastic. I mean, could you have chosen a prettier, happier outfit for a rainy day?! I think not.
    I think it's pretty awesome that you're changing to a positive attitude during the rain. It seems that in Wales you get so much, why bother wasting your good mood on it, right?
    But what's even better is your (somewhat insane) rationalization about your "free" dress. You are hilarious and I love you for it! 🙂
