Guess which country I’m in!
So did you guess that I was in France? La Manche, Normandy to be precise. Land of the Simon family and destination for the last 6 or so Christmasses. It’s not a place unlike where I live in England (rain, cats, the token chav group), only the architecture and exterior cladding (or lack of) is either grand and boasts historical importance, or is what me and my Dad brand as ‘typically French’…
My brother and I stumbled across this cute side road in Valognes where my aunt lives on our walk back from the local Boulangerie. Note: ‘local’ when describing a bakery’s situation in France usually means 100meters or so from your front door. It was the perfect spot to pose even if the locals were peering and questioning what on Earth we were doing out there from behind their low, single glazed windows!
This was my Boxing day outfit. (sorry, I know it’s painful to think back to twenty-twelve when we’re craving the spring already!) What did you wear? For me, it was a perfect time to style the ‘casual sequin look’! Just take a party-piece like my gold skirt and pair it down with a grandaddy-esque jumper or, if you’ve chosen a sparkly top, grunge it up with some moody leggings and trainers. Voila!

Amazing look! I love the theme of gold running through the outfit, you always look amazing though.

Only you Lucy could convince me that a sequinned skirt was a perfectly casual outfit for buying bread in! But I am convinced – you look amazing, I love your whole outfit!
Hahaha, well it WAS Boxing day! Which means sequins are even more allowed
hehe thanks for your comment, made me chuckle! Also, loving your ASOS Fashion Finder looks! 
You look amazing, as always! I did not look like that on Boxing Day, I don’t think I left the comfort of my pyjamas!
I bought a navy sequin skirt a couple of weeks ago and have no idea what to wear it with so might just copy you!
Love Tweet xx
Such pretty photos! I love your outfit!
You have a very great blog here!

Casual sequinage is most definitely the way forward!
to be honest my Boxing Day outfit consisted of a mixture of pyjamas and trackies… not the best thing ever haha. You look so amazing though! xxx
