Stuff I wear... for the 'rents' anniversary meal

My mum and dad celebrated their ruby wedding anniversary a few weeks ago- forty years! Wowza, so full of admiration for them! It's strange sometimes to think of them as a partnership and not just part of my own family unit, but they're clearly a team who work well together.


We popped into Newcastle a few days earlier and I picked up this colourful number in the sale from Primarni (Primarc) for a mere ten pounds. I initially bout it for France but as it's lined in some cheap, nasty fabric, I realised it would be far too hot. Instead, I was forced to wear it with grim black tights due to our terrible English weather. The belt came with it and I love the cheeky flash of flesh on the back too.

If you live in the North East of England, we went to Cafe Twenty One and I'd highly recommend it: there were nine of us (each having three courses) and each dish was flawless.

Happy Friday everyone.xxx

PS- Thank you all for the well wishes for Ben. He's on the mend now and his mischievous grin has returned (which is always reassuring).

  1. Great dress, definitely best with black tights and heels or bare legs and sandals for when it's finally warm, you really suit it!

  5. Very cute dress, you look great and the color combo suits you! You would not be able to bear tights here, we are still in a heat wave, but they look great with the dress and your legs look fab.

  13. Haven't stopped laughing yet, poor you having to wear 'grim' black tights. You really orta (not a word) splash out a little more on your tights. Good quality will not only fit you better, but will end up better value for money in the end; as long as you don't destroy them on the first day.....
    These tights I am wearing come from M&S, best quality tights at a reasonable price this year...
