Splash of Red...

Contrary to popular belief, the perfect shopping day is not necessarily one where you come back with an absurd number of bags - a perfect shopping day is one where you manage to find the perfect item, an item you know will bring a new life to your wardrobe and will help you create an endless number of outfit combos.

I'm going to tell you about this particular perfect shopping day - I fell in love with this jacket the minute I saw it, for me it ticks all the boxes for what I am looking in a jacket: gorgeous colour, loose unstructured fit, casual enough and smart enough. Almost instantly I could see myself wearing it over a t-shirt and denim shorts, over a tank top and a maxi skirt, over a maxi dress, over a cocktail dress… A world of opportunities ;)

For dinner in a wonderful Thai restaurant with very good friends, I decided to pair this new-found favourite with another recent purchase that has also quite quickly become a favourite. There really isn't anything that special about this dress but I just love it - the print, the loose fit that still allows you to show some curves, the length that allows you to wear it as a dress or as a top paired with skinny trousers or leggings, I just love its versatility ;)
