After yesterday's heatwave I thought that it was time to give the trench coat its first outing. I had about five minutes to get showered and changed having been for a quick run. I swapped the trench belt for a studded one from Topshop - which was very similar to one which I had seen in Jigsaw but which was too expensive. I also worked in my favourite Hobbs necklace and my pink Mulberry for some colour. For me it worked fine - not too hot, not too cold, casual enough for the styling I was doing today and smart enough for the meeting that I had afterwards.
We had a great time selecting more clothes for the event next Thursday. Just some final bits to get and then I should be pretty much there. I keep going over in my mind whether I have covered all of the different trends/brands/bodyshapes/heel heights/colours/types of accessories/price brackets and so on. I would like to try and please everyone but experience has taught me that it's not always possible. Hopefully everyone will have a good time though and take away something positive from the evening.
I was hoping for a rest from shopping tomorrow - yes, even I need one occasionally! However our eldest has other plans so back to the Bullring it is. I should just pitch a tent there and be done with it.
Hope that you all have a good weekend. Personally, I am looking forward to baking cakes with the children, going swimming and having a rest!
