Tee: New Look

Mac: Dorothy Perkins

Shoes: New Look

Belt: no idea

I've been searching for a spring/summer jacket for ages and finally I found my perfect mate in this rust coloured mac from Dorothy Perkins. It must have been made for me as it goes with virtually my entire wardrobe. Obviously, being a mac, it's not that warm and I've only had one opportunity to wear it so far but it will be making the journey to Denmark with me because I don't really have room for my bulky winter coat. Fingers crossed the temperature will rise a bit before I leave!

I've been neglecting this blog (both my blogs actually) the last few weeks. I have no excuses but , hey, I'm back now. In the last few weeks I've booked a spontaneous 2 week holiday to visit a friend in Denmark (I go this Thursday), rekindled my love of musical theatre (with Patti LuPone's help), had my ears pierced, and found a really delicious sparkling perry for 99p in Lidl. Good times (and bum times. I've seen 'em all and, my dear, I'm still here!).

Being a cheapskate, I'm travelling to Denmark with only hand luggage (which with Ryanair means a bag under 55x40x21cm and weighing less than 10kg). Fortunately, I can wash things at my friends so it won't be too much of a problem. However, for someone who has always been an over-packer, it has taken considerable restraint to whittle down my luggage list to things that I need rather than might need. I may make a post about how to get the most out of the free hand luggage allowance as, if you're willing to skip a few frivolities, it can save you quite a bit of money and makes navigating the airport considerably easier. 

What have you been up to?
