A Week of Weather

Friday 30 July 2010


The weather this week has been a trial. I like to imagine that the following conversation has been going on:

Rain - Muahahahaha! I caused flooding last week but I'm not done yet. *rain rain rain* *TORRENTIAL RAIN* *bit more rain for good measure*

Sun - Yes, it may be July but frankly I can't be bothered doing my work properly this week. And the rain is doing such a good job.

Rain - Bored now.

Sun - *DAZZLE!!*

Rain - Hah, I will beat that dastardly sun *RAIN RAIN RAIN*

Sun - I tell you what would be more fun. Look, she's going to the supermarket/swimming baths/Post Office/work. I'll shine while she goes in and then you drench her when she comes out. Comedy much? *DAZZLE*

Rain - Muahahahaha. *TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR*

Alex - Oh for f***s sake.


So that's quite a long-winded way of saying that it's been a tad tricky trying to work out what to wear this week, especially when it comes to shoes as the vast majority of mine don't seem to be waterproof. I've mostly been accessorising with an enormous Regatta waterproof and a large brolly.

And I shouldn't have to wear tights in July. It's just not right.


Monday - feeling a bit like a principal boy

Longsleeved top - DP

  2. On the whole, the weather's been pretty good here this week. Not often I can say that! But I don't actually think we've had any rain.. Or maybe I've just blocked it from my memory..

    My favourite outfits of the week are: Wednesday & Thursday. & I am also rather fond of Friday's dress - purely because it's polka dot. Can't resist me a bit of polka dot!

  3. Tuesdays and Wednesdays outfits are my fave. That 50p dress looks amazing! Good carboot find indeed.

    I really like the sleevless jumper on Mondays outfit too.
    And what a lovely shoe collection you have.

    As for the rain, I'm getting slightly annoyed with it, purely because i'm worried about my poor plants in the garden, I WANT some sun!

  8. Love the monochrome look! Stripes and floral, good work.

    I am fed up with going from hot to getting drenched. You walk 5 steps and the weather changes massively. Not cool.

  12. Wednesday and especially Friday are my faves. Looking good, hun!
    And the secret to those "blissful" cats? They are lying on the just-brought-home-from-Homesense catnip cat mat! That stuff works every time!! Otherwise they tend to knock 7 bells out of one another! (Mothers and daughters, eh?)
    Have a great W/E'

  16. The weather effects so much what we wear. It is humid and hot in the South East and I am getting a little fed up with it. Great weeks worth of outfits xoxo
