How was your weekend? I managed to get sufficient rest,
attend a baby shower, and afterward shop for some interior textiles in record
time (snapshots likely to come later on Instagram or Twitter). It was glorious!
It’s an in-between seasonal time, one that’s not exactly
warm enough to forgo a jacket. Yet, there are days with moments of sun spurts
that are more like trickery to the eye rather than a lasting indulgence in
temperature change. Well, at least for now … So, this was a practical
alternative outfit for the routes that I needed to take for a misty day—pairing a work blazer,
and layering it with a vintage jumper and leather boots.
This was a very easy ensemble that I wore to run errands: grocery
shopping, and visiting the flower market. Fresh flowers were always in our home
when I was a little girl, and it’s still one tradition that remains with me as
an adult.
Surprise, surprise, there was no scarf within reach;
otherwise you can absolutely bet that there would have been a printed or
vibrant version to accompany this outfit.
The goods: Blazer-Zara, Grazia 60s mod vintage sweater-Fara charity shop, Boots-Franco Sarto, Denim-Express, Brooch-DIY, Bracelet-F21, Eel skin purse-Vintage.

Lastly, you may have noticed a new home for the blog à www.fashiontalesblog.com. It has been long overdue, however I
decided to renounce the older url some time ago, and now use my actual blog
name instead. All other social media handles (@ladyofashion) will remain the
same. Please update your blog lists to this new url. Thank you!
What did you do this
weekend? Anyone find an amazing deal, eat at a new restaurant, or go to a concert?

Love that last photo of you with the umbrella ;) What a cute color scheme! My weekend went by fast but it was nice. My husband and I finally got a second car (we've been making things work with one car for a little over a year now after his car was stolen).

Madison, you had a FUN weekend girl! I envy you! I love your outfit! That blazer and jumper look so good! And how pretty is your umbrella! I love the print and ruffles. So girly! This weather is tricky! You really have to know how to layer. We're back to chilly weather again. LOL Great outfit! Looks awesome on you!

Awesome look! I LOVE the vintage sweater. And that umbrella's a steal! Hopefully I could buy a cute umbrella too. I think it's practical and fashionable. Thanks for sharing!

What a gorgeous outfit for running errands in! I'm coveting your vintage jumper. I love that you're continuing the family tradition of always having flowers in the house - it's lovely.

Ach ist der Regenschirm hübsch, da macht selbst schlechtes Wetter noch Spaß. Dein ganzes Outfit gefällt mir, besonders die roten Akzente. Hab einen schönen Tag,
ReplyDeletea really nice outfit for a cloudy day! Scarves are a must accessory for me, not so much for aesthetic as for practical reasons! And I have to add that I bought a fabric with the same lip pattern as your umbrella (in different colour and without the "Kiss") and I plan to make a dress out of it!
ReplyDeleteI want this shirt too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :*

ReplyDeleteYes now I see your new url!!! Cool I prefer it that way. You look adorable Madison. Simple but chic. Love the blazer and the cute vintage sweater. It's not easy to dress with the weather right now. Cold and then warm again... I wasn't at a concert but saw the new Veronica Mars movie. Happy Tuesday!!

Ah! That explains why I wasn't seeing your posts on my newsfeed! But wahoo, congrats on the new URL. :D
ReplyDeleteOoohooO! Shopping for textiles sounds like tons o' fun, actually. I love browsing prints and patterns galore. *___* It's like a candy shop. You look absolutely dashing in your classy red and black and blue ensemble, too!
congrats on the new blog name! i would do the same but there's another blogger who has my name after i started my blog. boo.
ReplyDeletebutttttt how much do i adore this outfit??? umbrella included too!
Congratulations on the new domain! Such a nice feeling to have one, isn't it? :) Love the outfit very much! x
ReplyDeleteStylish inter-season outfit. I'm finding it so hard to transition this year from Winter to Spring. The weather isn't cooperating. You look great. And I agree with you about fresh flowers.
ReplyDeleteOOh I think this is one of my very favorites of yours! All the little details really take it over the top to perfection :-) Though it's easy as you said, it's very chic - with a pinch of Britishness (not that that's a real word, haha) to it.
ReplyDeleteMy weekend was full to the max of bday parties and drama practices...I'm quite wipe now, hehe.
very nice and simple outfit for errands! love your umbrella!
ReplyDeletegreat umbrella! and i really liked your look ;)

ReplyDeleteYes, all feeds should be okay, I updated that the same time that I switched domains.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love prints as well. Thanks Ali! :-)

ReplyDeleteThanks Alexis! It's the easiest outfit I could come up with and still keep it stylish without wanting to wear a dress. :) x
ReplyDeleteHi Willow,
