Hi everyone! After hearing the weather report on Wednesday evening for Thursday to Saturday I was really ready to embrace summer dressing-bare legs, dress and some summer sun ready to sit out in and enjoy. Alas, the outfit was there on Thursday but definitely no summer sun to radiate in!
Style obsessions are currently lace, embroidery and denim and in various mixes for good measure. This outfit features a thrift find from last Sunday- a Gap slim fit denim jacket in exactly the shade I've been looking for this coming summer. I was at a local boot sale on Sunday and saw it on a ladies rail, so I asked the price and she said £2. Definitely cheap enough but for some reason I said to her 'Will you take £1.50?' We both burst out laughing at the same time and I'm sure it was because of my cheek but she said yes and off I went!

I'm wearing one of my items from the clothes swap party a couple of months ago, a Topshop blush pink lace dress. It's sleeveless and backless and is an ideal length for me and so perfect as a daytime summer dress if I wear it with denim. I'm also wearing some tan sandals which I thrifted a couple of summers ago- they are Clarks and were from my local Sue Ryder charity shop for around £8:
My new pinterest board, Crafted Style-Embroidery, Lace et Al is quickly expanding with images of everything embroidered, lace and summer boho orientated:
With this inspiration in mind I stopped off in another local town for a spot of charity shop thrifting this morning as the boot sale didn't appeal weatherwise and found this charming embroidered lace cotton camisole by Fat Face in the £1 Sense charity shop:

It's a replacement for one I stupidly put in the charity shop bag a couple of years ago for no good reason and will be perfect under denim jackets and waistcoats and summer blazers too.
Another style inspiration that's been hot on my mind are espadrilles and slides so how chuffed I was to find an unusual mix of the two earlier as well- they are Pare Gabia espadrilles made in France and were in the Sue Ryder charity shop for £3.95:

Brand new too and a much needed addition to my summer wardrobe, these will get worn a lot and will go with so much that I have already.
Unfortunately the sun shows no sign of returning any time soon where I am and my feet are freezing- I may have to get the socks and boots out ;- (
What is on your style radar at the moment- are you shopping for summer and if so do you have current obsessions of the moment?
Have a lovely Easter weekend and I hope the sun is shining for the rest of you, wherever you are!!

Amazing finds, Sharon! I love the lace dress, and both sandals are envy-worthy. Isn't it wonderful how, when you feel inspired by something you see or are actively looking for it, you invariably find it at the charity shop? Happy Easter! Xoxo
Hi Kelly! That is so true, a good rummage whilst thrifting generally always pays dividends! Thanks for the lovely comment on the sandals too! xx
Great find on the jacket Sharon it looks amazing on you xx
Hi Gail-thanks for that it's much appreciated xx
Thank you so much for your kind wishes Sharon. WHat a gorgeous outfit- bargain too and the pink dress is beautiful! Well done on the Fatface top- that's a real bargain. I wish I could find nice shoes in the charity shop- I never do, only ever bought 3 pairs and all hideously uncomfortable and had to go! I did find some cute Melissa jelly sandals in TK Maxx last week though x
Love that white lace-y top!
Happy Easter!
