I shot these outfit photos today. A blustery cold and wet day! What us bloggers do! But this will be my last post of the year and I will be back on Tuesday the 1st of January 2o19. That’s the first time I’ve written that year!
I’ve had the mother of colds and didn’t get myself in gear to do any photos for a few days and I really wanted to post before everyone disappears for the celebrations to wish you all a wonderful Christmas.
A windswept outfit!
What can you do but laugh when everything doesn’t go to plan during your outfit shots? I’m lucky to have my photographer other half patiently trying to get the best she could whilst getting blown about!
The bargain outfit is from Peacocks. You may have read about the boots that I’ve already featured a few times because I love them so much. Such a bargain at £25.00
I was kindly gifted this outfit from Peacocks and when I was browsing through the website this Handkerchief body caught my eye like other items I’ve seen in the more expensive high street retailers. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality for the price at £20.00 like I was by the boots. The boots aren’t any different to what you would pay £40-50 for
High waisted flared trousers a mere £22.00!!
The trousers are high-waisted with button detailing and I would say the whole outfit fits true to size. For £22.00 an absolute bargain. I’m always tight for cash at this time of year after going overboard with present buying and it’s usually a bargain that I would be looking for if I were to be buying anything new. Do you have a Peacocks near you? What do you think of it?
Loud patterns are not normally my “thing” but I really like this new handkerchief trend that’s in the shops. If I’m going colourful then I normally look for something red and I like that the body is vibrant and not wishy-washy colours. There’s also the animal print going on in the pattern too.
So all in all the outfit including the boots is a mere £67.00!
This was the only not too wind-swept photo! for one split second, I got lucky! Thank you to Peacocks for gifting me this party outfit. There’s a 50% off sale as I write this. Go get a bargain ladies!
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas!

I have some lovely items from Peacocks, such great value for money #Blogstravaganza
Laurie, thanks so much for partying with us at the #WednesdayAIMLinkParty 28!
Thank you for the tip. I didn’t know Peacocks and I’m always looking for some good deals. It is kind of art if you are able to look like “million bucks ” for a small budget.

Your outfit is gorgeous! I was looking for your latest link party, but could not find.

I love you in this, like the 70s vibe. I’m a bit fan of Peacocks, especially for jeans.

Not tried the jeans yet Mary but I might just have a look on your say xx
I love the outfit, and the wind swept photos. Been there, done that. Even got the T-shirt 😊.
Can I put a red dot on this blouse? If you ever want to get rid of it, I’ll buy it.
Happy New Year.

Happy new year to you Greetje! I’m saving it for you! xx
This look really suits you, and I’d never have guessed it cost anything less than £100 to put together. Thanks for the tip – we do have a Peacocks not far from us! #Blogstravaganza
Author
Thanks Emma. Worth a look I think xx
Lovely outfit and I really like those boots! I love boots anyway but don’t have many pairs. #Blogstravaganza
Author
When they come this cheap it’s hard to resist eh? Thanks for stopping by xx
What a great look Laurie! I love the pop of colour and pattern on the body. Thank you for sharing with #Blogstravaganza 🙂
Author
Thanks Jo! Glad you like it xx
I love this outfit and think the splash of colour is really fab on you Laurie! The top that’s also a body is a winner in my book – I’ve got quite a few of these and really like that they stop that need to keep things tucked in.
Hope you’ve had a fab Christmas and wishing you all the best for New Year!
