Mickey Mouse Meets The Lady of the Manor

You may have noticed there was no post from me yesterday….

The reason was that I’m currently in Kent, and yesterday I spent the day in Tunbridge Wells at the Steam Railway with Lady K Loves shooting some new items for Autumn Winter. It was a fantastic day and the initial shots look amazing. I have a load of behind the scenes video that I’m going to edit over the next few days to give you a sneak preview of the shoot and the collection, before it goes live on the website in September.

For the long journey home from Kent this afternoon I want something comfortable, so a (very) old Mickey & Minne Mouse T Shirt and a pencil skirt with slight stretch offered the requisite comfort with a dash of smartness. I was rather taken with the juxtaposition of the Micky Mouse T Shirt and smart looking pencil skirt so I decided to play it up a bit more by wearing my pearls.

I had planned to take a couple of photos outside, but it’s absolutely bucketing with rain, so I went for posing at the bottom of my Parents stairs instead, but unfortunately the lights not that great inside!

A pencil skirt might seem like an odd choice to travel in, but the truth is I very rarely travel in jeans as I find them really uncomfortably and restrictive to sit down in for any length of time. I’ve never really understood the reputation of jeans as a comfortable wardrobe item, I’m far more comfortable in skirts!

I also went for flicky eyeliner this morning. The last time I mentioned that I got asked for close up photos, so here’s some of me pulling an incredibly serious face. It’s very difficult to take photos of your own eyes….

This weekend I shall be off to a friends Anniversary party where there will be Football and Pimms.

I hope you all have equally lovely weekend plans!

    Looks fab…it’s odd how a combo ‘shouldn’t work’, but in reality it does. x

    I also think that jeans are quite uncomfortable. That’s not to say I don’t wear them, I do, but I often try to avoid wearing them for long journeys too!

    What an insouciant outfit! Very clever and cute. And I agree with you about jeans.

    I heart that t-shirt with the skirt, a lush mix of two different retros – pretty lady. šŸ™‚
