How lovely is the weather?
Perfect for the Easter holidays. I hope you have something good planned?
It’s so good to not have to wear a coat and the lighter colours in my wardrobe come into play. A monochromatic look today again. This way of dressing makes me feel taller!
I’m happy to be sharing with you a special offer today with Daniel Wellington Watches there’s a 15% off code at the end of this post ladies!
I’ve been eyeing up the watches on Instagram for some time and I know how popular they are in the blogosphere.
What I didn’t realise is the fact that they cater for us petite people too. A blessing in disguise for me. Every time I have had a watch half of it has to be taken away to fit my wrist, but with this Melrose Classic Petite style watch, you make the adjustment easily all by yourself! I was made up!
So I chose all creams and beige and gold accessories to show it off, Oh and my new bargain mirrored sunglasses from F&F for a mere £6! I don’t pay a lot for sunglasses anymore because I always end up loosing them.
A cream knitted waistcoat was all that was needed on this fine day! And I finished the look off with the necklace from Matalan.
So let me tell you a little bit more about the watches.
This one that I’m wearing, the strap reaches up to 33mm It’s waterproof and another bonus is that you can change the strap for others that are available on the site.There are some lovely Tan or Black leather one’s available, but I love this Rose Gold mesh strap. The Melrose is also available in Silver.
I haven’t worn a watch for some time, I thought having a mobile phone to do the work was enough, but I’m surprised at how handy it’s been to just flick the wrist and it’s there!
I just had to get that “I’ve just done my hair shot” in didn’t I !!
If you’re after a stunning new accessory for your wrist the code to use at the checkout is VANITY
Do have a browse at the site, they are gorgeous.

Wearing a watch I must for me! Wow what a super chic look, and I love how you favour the same stores! Fabulous outfit – perfect with this watch. xx
Thank you Jacqui. Can you imagine if we went shopping together? !! xx
I adore the softness of this outfit. I have a similar vest and I think I shall copy your look. It is the perfect welcome spring look
Thank you so much Linda. I think you should go right ahead! It will look great on you xx
It s a elegant watch and I also love the vest and the colors you are wearing! Not many people can wear those shades!
Thank you Nancy. I love this watch! And these apart from red are my prefered colours xx
What an amazing outfit! I love the white and beige layers. Just gorgeous. And your comment about the sunglasses is so funny. My husband and I were just discussing the other day how people who spend a lot on sunglasses are crazy because we always lose or break ours.
Thank you Amy. I'm terrible with glasses! I buy cheap reading glasses too! xx
WOW – this neutral palette rally suits you and looks so luxurious! Your hair and the watch look just great.

An elegant watch, looks just right on you. I love the combo of white and very in summer, it's a classy look. I don't have a long waistcoat but I keep admiring them on others, yours pulls the outfit together.
And I just have to add how luxuriant your hair looks, I have hair envy!
Wishing you a Happy Easter.
Thank you Mary. I think the long waistcoats will look great on you. Thanks for the comment about my hair! It can be very unruly though! xx

That's a lovely classic watch, and being able to change the strap is such a bonus. I love the neutral colour palette you've chosen, the knitted waistcoat and the tan bag are fab!

Gorgeous watch! And can I tell you I am so in love with this neutral look on you, goes so lovely with your hair and what a fantastic vest you're sporting! Lovely look lady!
Thank you so much Andrea! I so much prefer lighter colours. I would wear them in winter too if it was so practical! x
I do wear a watch. Two actually but know what you mean about being small.mine are pushed up a couple of inches. I'd prefer a on wrist watch look. Oh well. That is an elegant watch in its simplicity. I like the wide strap. Your whole look is elegant. Definitely works. Let's hope for warm days again so we can live in our pastels.
Thank you Anna. I hope this good weather is here to stay. I'm just about to change the wardrobe and swap for all the summer stuff. x
I love this colour on you, Laurie. It really suits you! The watch is gorgeous in its simplicity. I did chuckle at your comment about flicking your wrist to see the time!!
I'm loving your handbag too – that's a me bag if ever there was one.
Hope you're having a lovely week.
Hugs

Thank you Suzy. I'm quite surprised at how much I missed not wearing a watch. I haven't worn one for years because the mobile phone is always handy, but I'm enjoying wearing it. Plus it's a great accesessorie!x
This neutral palette is so classing and refreshing!
