I have my lovely friend Vikki to thank for this little purchase as we were having a conversation about dungarees when she sent me the picture above and said how about these! I headed off into Bristol today intent on hunting down a jacket I'd seen in Mango that I'd been hankering after for weeks! I wished I'd tried it on when I first saw it as I'd really built it up to be something really special in my minds eye but in reality it was a complete disappointment!! I thereafter embarked on a mission to find a peasant style top but no luck there either!! Primark ended up being my last chance saloon or else I would have been going home empty handed on payday! I decided to check out the boiler suit that Vikki and I had discussed and managed to find it so I headed off to the fitting room with 3 different sizes. I ended up plumping for the size 12 as I think it should be worn on the slouchier side!! At £17 this boiler suit is the perfect price for something that might only be worn a few times! For me this would be perfect for travelling in so I look forward to donning it when I go on my hols!!
It is so comfy....I would have happily left the store wearing it. In fact I changed into it once I got home! Must admit I was very surprised to hear that the hubby liked and the 7 year old daughter thought it looked very stylish....bless! I love it and it is the perfect outfit for these in-between Spring/Summer weather days!
As usual a few outfits from the rest of the week! The H&M thrifty top find is certainly already paying it's way! Worn here again for a birthday supper for my mother-in law on Saturday.

Is there an item of clothing that you couldn't picture yourself in that once you've tried has won you over?? Is this a trend you can see yourself indulging in? I know the boiler suit along with the Birkenstock Arizona's are a bit of a Marmite item that won't be for everyone....I wonder what other trends I thought would pass me by will find their way into my wardrobe this year?! Answers on a postcard please!!
Love hearing your thoughts and responding to them!
I will be back soon with the post I mentioned last time about one of my old favourite clothing haunts.....it is a work in progress as I have been in and out of the store to photograph stuff (been trying to do so discreetly) as the website pictures do the clothing absolutely no favours!
Wishing you all a good week!
Until next time!
