Casual Shirt

My latest charity shop find is this casual shirt. Although it looks black in the photo, it is actually a deep shade of navy blue. It has two large front buttons and sleeves which reach the elbows together with two small pockets. It is 65% polyester and 35% cotton and has a St Michael label. It only cost me £1.50 so I should get my monies worth!

The white trousers were featured in a post a few weeks ago and I have worn them quite a lot during the past few weekends.

The weather has been quite warm and very dry recently in the UK. The garden is doing quite well despite the lack of rain and we have had a good harvest of strawberries. The other vegetables are busy growing and the dwarf french beans will soon be ready to pick. I spend an hour each evening watering and looking for any bugs on the crops which is quite relaxing after a hectic day in the office.

    That's such a steal for your lovely top! I like how you styled it with a lighter colored jeans for a color contrast. I don't garden but I can see why it can be calming. I have cactuses and I do just enjoy looking at them and seeing them thrive when I am outside enjoying our backyard.

    That totally looks like a jacket to me, not a top. What a bargain, though!

      Hi Sheila - It is designed like a jacket but in a much softer/lighter material

    What a great bargain. It looks very '50's New Look in the photo. A full midi skirt and heels and you will have my favourite era!
