Ooh look, the sun is out! In Bedbugland (totally a real place), that means it's time to get the outfit posts on a roll! I really do love outfit posts- in fact, that's the reason I started this blog- but I find them difficult in the winter months. Spring is very welcome!

These gorgeous ivory satin ballet shoes* were kindly sent to me by BHS. Yes, they're bridal shoes but I really think they work with summery outfits like this. This is one of the great things about wearing flat shoes as a bride- You can reuse them for daily outfits afterwards. In fact, I wore ivory satin trainers at my wedding so I am a total bridal flats advocate! This pair are wide-fit so originally I consider sizing down but I'm glad I didn't as they're quite stiff and the extra width stops any rubbing or blistering. 

It was a beautiful day when I took these photos, so I was thrilled to be able to crack out this lovely skirt that I've had waiting for me a few weeks. Whenever I go to a supermarket, I cannot resist looking at the clothes and this skirt was crying out for me. At first I was worried the length might be too long and unflattering (I like a short skirt!) but, as you can see, it's pretty much perfect. 

Sitting by the pond watching the ducklings was so lovely. They're the cutest, fluffiest little things and don't worry, I have no plans to stuff them!

These beads are very dear to me. They were given to me by my grandma for my 21st birthday and were originally given to her by my grandad for their 20th wedding anniversary back in 1975. There is also a matching bracelet which my grandma never wore as she had tiny wrists and it kept falling off. I've inherited her wrists and hands so the bracelet is kept stored away.
