What I Wore Wednesday: 24 Hours Down South

Apologies for another late What I Wore Wednesday post but I flew down to Heathrow on Tuesday afternoon as I needed to be down south for work on Wednesday and didn't get back until late Wednesday night. 


On Tuesday I got to meet up with Lizzie from Mummy in Manolos and Jacqui from Mummy's Little Monkey for dinner and we had such a great time. We were horrible bloggers and didn't take a single picture of the three of us but I think it is kind of nice that we weren't attached to our phones and just enjoyed chatting! I did manage to snag a picture of what I wore in my hotel room mirror.


I had planned to wear super cute shoes but Blondie Boy was up with an ear infection all night the night before and I was so tired I figured flip-flops were a better bet:

sequin shoulder sweater

Sequin Shouldered Top- Pussycat London
Old Navy The Flirt Jeans
Old Navy Blue Flip Flops
Brag About It Necklace

It was hard to get a photo that showed the sequin detail on the shoulders. I got this top ages ago in the New Look sale and I love how it is the perfect length to wear with jeans or leggings. It seemed the perfect top for a casual dinner with friends and was comfy to fly in as well. Of course when I was at the airport I thought it looked funny and then I realized it was on BACKWARDS. I told you Blondie Boy was up all night but not sure how I managed that one if I'm honest. Oh well. I had on a Brag It necklace with BB's name and birthday but you can't really see it in either photo.

First I didn't wear flip flops to work but the I wasn't going to run around Heathrow in heels if I didn't have to so by the time I took this photo they were off and packed. I was in back to back meetings all day so I didn't grab a photo until I was at Heathrow so I was super cool and took my picture in a bathroom at the airport. Pop-up airport bathroom fashion shows are all the rage, right?


If you can't tell I freaking love my Cynthia Rowley dresses; they are so comfortable and I get compliments every time I wear them which, lets be honest, is a nice thing. We have a wedding this weekend and I'm pretty sure I will wear one of them then too! I may or may not pop in to TK Maxx when I'm going past just to see if there are any different patterns--like I said I freaking love them.

  21. Thanks Rachel! They are so comfortable and flattering and you are looking at £25 investment tops! I've gotten so much wear out of them too.

  22. Thanks Ania! Ugh poor boy woke up saying his ears hurt and he didn't feel well. He's not a complainer so we knew he wasn't well. Finally got his antibiotics (he is allergic to penicillin-- so has to be ordered in) so he's doing better.

  23. *giggles* Sometimes I too wear something backwards, whether by mean or by accident!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I kept looking down and going "hmm my top looks weird" DUH it was backwards. I went and hid under some stairs and turned it around.

  26. Thanks! Heathrow is the main airport in London (Heathrow, Gatwick, City, Luton and Stanstead are all the London airports!) and handles the most international passengers of any airport in the world! One of my clients offices is about a 25 minute drive away in Buckinghamshire.

  30. Nothing wrong with switching into flip flops at the airport! I'm guilty of doing that on work trips. I'm sure I look really cool in my suit and flip flops!

  32. I think I've only actually missed one week since I started last year!

  33. No one wants to schlep around an airport in heels right? Plus they tell you to take off your shoes on a plane in an emergency anyway so it is just being super prepared :)

  34. Totally loving the sequined shoulder top!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Love the sequined shoulder detailing!!! And how fun that you got to meet some fellow bloggers. I'm fairly new to blogging, so I've only been to a few meet-ups, but they were so fun!!! Thanks for hostessing today, Melaina. ~Sarah
