I bought this jumper recently and when I bought it, my friend only saw the back of it and thought it was a cool stripy jumper, so she was a bit surprised when she saw the boat! That put it in my mind as something I could try to wear backwards, even if I'd probably have to wear a coat over the top all the time (the boat might look a little odd on the back. I am no stranger to the wearing dresses and tops backwards thing, I do it all the time with some dresses I own, especially the rainbow madras check dress that Vix likes!
So here it is in its three guises- normal wear, with coat and alone in reverse. Thoughts please?!
Hmmm, I've been doing the red, white and blue thing a lot recently- I really like that combo of colours. Maybe a change of palette is necessary? You'll be getting bored of this red coat too!

In other news, we have had a lovely 4 days in Northumberland and spent yesterday stuck in awful traffic coming back down. Miraculously, we met my Mum at the Wetherby service station! What are the odds of both totally randomly turning up at the same service station at the same time, same day and her mentioning it in a text. I was in Marks and Spencer when her text-message arrived saying, "I'm at Wetherby services, just going to go out of signal range for the weekend...". I laughed out loud and scared the lady next to me and then went to hunt for her!
In other news, and thank you for your concern, Grandad is not at all well- he's refusing treatment, keeps pulling his drip out and is not eating and the pneumonia has spread to his other lung. He's sleeping most of the time and seems so weak but when you try to put his oxygen mask back on, the strength there in resisting is astonishing. Perhaps he feels that he just wants to go. Please pray x
Hugs to you all

Oh and don't forget me 9th blogiversary giveaway- 2 posts ago. xx
I like that jumper either way and love you in red, white and blue. You always look great in that red mac and manage to make it look different each time, I'll never get bored, honest!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your Granddad, maybe he does know that it is time to go. Thinking of you and sending love and kind thoughts. xxx
I love your jumper, I bet it goes with lots of things too. These colours always look good on you, my favourite colours that always go together great. Aww hoping your granddad gets better very soon. ..
ReplyDeleteLove the top in any of it's guises. Red, white and blue is a winning combo.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to read about your Grandad's state of health, it must be a distressing time for you all.

I love red shoes!
ReplyDeleteGlad you met up with your Mum! Sorry about Grandad though - praying for you all xx
ReplyDeleteI like the jumper in all ways too. Sorry to hear things are not good with grandad.Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever worn something backwards (knowingly!) but your top works a treat both ways and I'm loving your red white and blue combo.
ReplyDeleteThinking of your family. I'd like to hope that if I was in your grandfather's shoes that my wishes would be respected but it's a dreadful position to be in. Hugs all round x
Supppper cute. I much prefer the sailboat on the back. I, too, turn things "backwards" although I believe that it's my "frontwards." Love! Your shoes, too! You are so darling!
ReplyDeleteOh you poor dear. I have been and will keep praying for you and grandad and your family. Count on that!
ReplyDeleteVery cool coincidence (providence more like it) with your mum. Very sweet.
As for your outfit, once I tore myself away from those tights on your gorgeous legs I wavered back and forth, or back to front more accurately. Which is the superior presentation? Oh I just hate to make big decisions like this! I am going to Magic 8 Ball it and say "ask again later" :D , In any event, you look very lovely, dear. xoxo
Hi my dear! Love your jumper and how you've styled it- it's certainly very stylish and versatile. Wishing your grandad all the best too xx
ReplyDeleteI could never get sick of red, white and blue. Its the best colour combination ever.
ReplyDeleteIm so sorry about your Grandad it would be so hard for all of you. Big kisses and cuddles from Oz xoxoxo
I think you should wear it backwards, without the coat. Why not have a design on your back? It's kind of interesting. And I love the stripes with your floral skirt.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your granddad just wants to go naturally, as soon as possible. I've heard of people refusing to eat at that stage because they just don't want to linger. It must be very difficult, but he must be very strong-minded to avoid comfort. I think it's better to support his decision than to fight it - but it's not my place to say.
Backwards or forwards, I love it either way!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and your grandfather sweetie.
ReplyDeleteI do have to say I love the sweater both ways!!
I love that skirt its fabulous. BTW thanks for your comments on my blog thats so sweet that you see things and think of me! I do like my very feminine girly clothing.. :) x
ReplyDeleteOh also I meant to say I hope your grandad is ok. I know how you feel as my dad is quite ill at the moment too...worrying time x
ReplyDeleteI really love the jumper backwards! Oh no, poor Grandad. That is sooo freaky bumping into your Mum!
