The outfit is a bit – blah, shall we say? I really wasn’t feeling it, but oh well. The grey skirt is the first one I designed and made so it’s close to my heart.
This morning David and I got up extremely early to go to ‘The Friday Shop’. That’s not really its name, but it has been dubbed that by the local residence because it only ever opens on a Friday. It sells yummy French pastries and is typically well and truly sold out by 9am (today though, probably well before). I really didn’t think we would actually get up, but lo and behold we did (I am actually really very motivated by food you know) and we got there at about 7.15am. There were already about three people there and by the time we had left there were another several people stuffing bags full chocolate croissants, almond croissants and tarts by the dozen.
I must say though, eating that much sugar at that time of the morning wasn’t quite what my body was expecting, and yes I am gluten free but I haven’t cheated in such a long time. I will probably end up feeling a bit on the sick side tonight but it was worth it, and I’m of the opinion that its one of those things you do once in a lifetime, like when I end up going to France for example, I’m not not going to eat their pastries just because I’m gluten free, how many times will I end up going to France for pastries? Probably not as many times as I would want to - so that’s my argument and I’m sticking with it!!
Hope you have a great weekend, mine will be spent doing last minute Christmas shopping, going to the farmers market and spending some time with one of my dearest friends who will be leaving me in a few short days…

Speaking of christmas shopping - Oxfam is waiting for your purchase, as are lots of needy third world families. So, go on, give them a good christmas!!

Thank you but YOU as well have eye for the beautiful! That shows in your beautiful shots!! =)
Mmm, the Friday Shop sounds yummy. I hear you on the last minute Christmas craziness. I get a whole week off for Christmas, and I'll be so glad when I can just sit around and do nothing :)
No way, this outfit is not blah. Bright red cannot be blah!
I consider any outfit that includes pants to be sort of boring, myself.
you look so sophisticated!

you still look good in this outfit! not boring at all.
This outfit isn't blah at all! I really like the red, black, & gray combo. Enjoy your visit with your friend this weekend! There is nothing comparable to a dear friendship :)
your outfit isn't blah-its very classic chic looking. happy friday to you, too!

I agree with the comment above me, the outfit isn't blah at all, love the color-block look :) The skirt gives a great silhouette as well!
I have such a craving for pastries now! I know that feeling of not being 100% about an outfit - I still think you looked really cute though :D
Hi there-a really classic outfit and the red top really lifts it! Have a lovely weekend my dear!
The grey skirt has a perfect fit! So lovely!
Chocolate croissants never need a justification.
I love Fridays, I love Friday shops and drinks!
Lovely colour combination, I must try it.

The skirt fits you SO well! What a great outfit!
lov ethe grey skirt!
You're too critical, lady - I think you're a knockout in that outfit. Very Mad Men! And sounds like the bakery splurge was 100% worth it.
Its simple but sassy! And you have my stomach growling for some breakfast pastries..:-)
You look lovely and I love the colour combo.

i love this look, but i really love simple styles.
in the town where i go to school there's a little hole in the wall bakery that makes the BEST danishes in the world. you have to call and reserve one if you dont get there by 9 am!
Oh my, the concept of a shop only open in the wee hours of Friday morning that sells all sorts of pastry delights is certainly a novel one. I wish I'd known about it when I was over there!
I agree with Sal... The shape & cutting of that skirt is so flatering on you dear! Lovely weekend 2U*
I am still in awe of this skirt... and it looks great like this.
and I have food allergies too (which have the bonus of a puffy face! Attractive.) but sometimes you just have to have the yummy stuff. The croissants sound great.
is it not actually called the friday shop? haha, i fully thought it was! oh my gosh, yummmmm. my mum always would go on friday mornings and get us croissants and pain au chocolats for lunch... and tarts...
heaven...........
ps you'll be pleased to know my boy is getting his brother a yak for xmas (from save the children though but obviously still an amazing gift)
loved your outfit dear! that skirt is so gorgeous!♥
