Ruched top and draped top

The top I'm wearing today is really from June. It's lined in the torso part so it's been too warm to wear, until today. With some typical wet and windy autumn weather this top is perfect!

What I really like about this top, apart from the colour, is the draping which suits my body shape very well. It's about the only lace item in my wardrobe even though it's in all the shops! So far I don't see any reason to get more lace, but I'd love more tops like this in a plain fabric!


If you try to ignore the strange quality of the photo (due to my husband's experiments with his new camera!), you should be able to see the colour better in this picture:

Earlier this week I wore one of my ruched tops, from H&M. It has a lovely Asian inspired print which makes it better than plain black for my colouring. I have an old jacket in Chinese brocade that begged to come out and play with the top, see how perfect they were for each other:

My dog thought it was his turn to be the model. When I told him no he was very, very disappointed!


Could he look more sad?







































By coincidence the lining of the jacket matched the top's print, and I had to show you!

Now, all that's missing is a close up of the necklaces - so here it is! The Zara diamonds, and a homemade coral necklace.

It seemed very appropriate at the end of the post, that this is where you see the end of me...

This week has been very busy, and the next will be absolutely chaotic. At school my grroup and I are handing in an assignment, showing that we're mastering database building skills...


I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
