A big summary of lots of outfits!

 As is often the case, sometimes, I take some pictures of outfits but they never make it onto here. Various reasons- 1. I am not in a blogging mood, 2. don't want to have too many outfit posts, 3. Don't transfer photos across from phone successfully. 4. I forget about them.

Therefore, I had a quick look through my folders on the computer and thought I'd bung together all the outfits I forgot to post into one post.  Some will seem sadly inappropriate now given the season but it will have to just suffice.

So, let's give them a look!


This was an outfit from August. I have not remembered to post any outfit in which I wear this t-shirt. It's a sailor t-shirt from Joanie Clothing. I bought it secondhand on eBay, having liked it when they sold it new online.  Of course, I went all out with the sailor cliques and added this stripy skirt from Peacocks (new a few years ago) and added a Compass brooch plus my Tom shoes.


Continuing with the sailor theme (I love a sailor item of clothing!), I am sharing some photos from August when we took my niece to Burnham-on-Crouch on the boat (You get the 'ferry' from Essex Marina which is at Wallasea Island).
I knew we were going on a boat and spotted an opportunity.
I haven't worn this lovely dress from Jaeger for the last two years, since 2020 so it was due a revisit.
The new straw sun visor I'd picked up from Barnardo's a few days prior went perfectly with it.
And, I even managed to coordinate with my niece who was sporting a rather lovely white stripy coord! She borrowed a sun hat from me!
Here was a school outfit from July.
It was charity-shopped Cath Kidston from last Summer and worn with an almost matching wired headband from Primark and a Primark cardigan plus my rose gold Tom shoes which I reaaaaaaaaaaally must glue- the sole is flapping at the toe on one foot!

I have no recollection what this outfit was for. I love my Parrot jumpsuit from Emily and Fin.
I added a charity-shopped straw and raw silk hat and a white linen M&S (Charity shopped) shirt plus Rieker sandals.
Lorelai LQ orange earrings made from reused plastic straws!


A recent charity-shopped item which I have already worn a lot was a black Indian rayon skirt. It features dancing figures in gold, red and green. £2.99 from the Salvation Army.  I added a tomato red top from Topshop (charity shopped in Hexham) with frilled sleeves and my Dr Martens teal Joylyn boots.

Can you spy the gold leafed oak leaf earrings?

A black sparkly Primark cardigan provided a bit of a cover up if needed. This was a Saturday outfit.

This Joanie Clothing dress was purchased for £4 from a market stall when they were still for sale on the Joanie website a few years ago.
We made a visit to Priory Park in Southend for a bandstand concert and I wore this with a green charity shopped cardigan from Dotty P & my Toms Huaraches

You could go into the house in Priory park which is on the grounds of the old abbey.  There is a great interactive part with monks singing Gregorian chant on recordings as you look at some old stones.  And there are robes! CBC wore the adult sized one. I got the child's one!

Oh look, it's the new skirt again and the green cardigan- which I realise was inside out here! Oh, the glamour of being a not-style blogger! This time worn with a black t-shirt and squirrel shoes!


And finally, here is what I wore to go and watch the orchestra that I play with in Essex. There were only 2 flutes so I watched CBC play. As the whole programme was from the Classical era, I decided to go Jane Austen themed- sort of! 1970's does Regency!
Darn, it, uploaded the blurry photo.  Style blogger fail again!
The dress is by Louis Caring of London
I wore it with my Gstar navy corduroy coat and a Green felt Accessorize hat (bought the same day as Bridesmaid dresses!) plus my Nan's locket!

And that's the lot! Any favourites here?

How would you style the Indian skirt? I am currently wearing it with a green tshirt and red cardie and big knitted Poppy!

  3. I love an outfit post! The photo of you and your niece at the waterside is gorgeous, that'd make a splendid blog header.
    All your outfits are fab. One of the Liz's is obsessed with the Dawn O'Porter range of dresses at Joanie Clothing, she's wearing one in the photo of the three of us I posted on our Saturday night out a couple of weeks ago.
    I love your Louis Caring maxi, I'd steal that off you in a heartbeat. the Indian rayon skirts another beaut. I loved both your outfit combos! xxx
    PS Yes, always happy to welcome another member to the Bandstand Appreciation Society!

  4. Lots of fabulous outfits here, Kezzie!
    I absolutely adore the sailor style Jaeger dress, and that lovely photo of you and your niece.
    The jumpsuit is a stunner and so is the Indian maxi skirt, but my favourite here must be the Louis Caring maxi dress. I've got a dress from the same label, a deadstock one picked up in Cardigan many years ago. Now that I think of it, I've no idea where it has got to. xxx

  5. The parrot jumpsuit is a favourite. I love that tomato red top you styled the Indian skirt with - it looks really good with it, along with the turquoise (?) shoes. I love the candid outfit shots - some of mine are blurry too (I only ever take the shots I post!).
