Indian Summers

I can pretty much guarantee that by the time this post goes live the gorgeous Indian Summer we’ve been enjoying has departed- that’s just the way things seem to work! Still, it was a complete surprise and delight when we were granted a few gorgeous warm days filled with sunshine to get a few more rays of that golden glow on bare skin before confining it back to month upon month of knitwear and layering.

Hat: Clothing at Tesco | Vest: Monki | Trousers: New Look | Flats: Primark

These photos were taken late one evening, just before the light truly faded for the day which would probably explain why they haven’t come out as well as usual. I’d been on a training course all day (to become a health care assistant instead of just a phlebotomist) and had wanted something comfortable to wear that wasn’t too casual- these trousers fitted the bill perfectly as they are a thousand times more comfy that jeans and look that bit smarter too.

You can’t really see but the vest has a zipper down half of the back, it does give the vest a slightly odd fit, but I kind of like that (and I think I’ve worn it back to front before now as well, oops!). The hat was a late addition as my hair was in dire need of a wash but I wanted to grab some photos first- so lazy! I really like the effect it added though and it makes me wonder why I don’t think of adding in hats more often. I’m notoriously bad for forgetting to properly accessorise an outfit, even popping on some jewellery doesn’t occur to me until the very last minute!

I hope everyone enjoyed the last of the summer sun! I’m entering in to a super busy time of year now where I juggle several different big goals- blogging has suffered a little bit, I’m not as active at commenting etc as I have been in the past but I promise a big old catch up soon!

What are you working towards in your life right now? I’m guessing a lot of people will be heading off to uni/college- something that I never did…let me know what your goals (no matter how big or small) are in the comments below).

    Yay for HCA training, that’s really awesome. I love that vest.

  7. Those trousers look fabulous – both pretty and comfortable and I love the print. As for my own goals (I know it’s not very exiting) I’m hoping to do a touch of painting and yard-work done before temperatures drop too much.

  8. Good luck with the training, sounds like a fab opportunity! And wear a hat more often, it really suits you! x
