Socks appeal

Having been looking for some spotty socks, I picked up this funky trio in TK Maxx today:

They are by Crew Clothing and cost £7.99 for the three pairs. Result!

Monday's attire

We spent Bank Holiday Monday at my parents' house, with a brief trip to a nearby park.

For this day of relaxation I chose the following outfit:

Tommy Hilfiger 'Hudson' jeans, Red t-shirt, Jack & Jones grey sweatshirt, Firetrap casual plimsolls, Red socks.
 

Sunday's attire

A quick trip to Sainsbury's in morning called for something quick and casual.

For this I wore the following:

Tommy Hilfiger 'Hudson' jeans, Olive green Blue Inc. polo shirt, Firetrap casual plimsolls, Green socks

 

In the afternnon, we went to our friends' house for their daiughter's 8th Birthday party.

For this I chose to give my Jachs shirt (from TK Maxx) its first outing:

I wore it with the following:

Tommy Hilfiger 'Hudson' jeans, Olive green Jachs shirt, Firetrap casual plimsolls, Purple socks. (Originally I had gone for loafers instead of the plimsolls, but my wife thought it was a little too formal for the event.As usual she was right)

Saturday's attire

Our usual itinerary of lunch in town followed by a spot of shopping, but with the added bonus of stopping off in the park on the way home.

For this I chose an outfit I have worn before:

Dark Blue Matalan jeans, Olive Green 'Penguin' shirt, Sainsburys 'Grandad' shirt, Baracuta 'Waterloo' boots, Green socks.

Sunday's attire

A very lazy day involving a trip to my parents' house to collect the boy and a quick pop into Sainsburys.

For this I chose an outfit I have worn very recenlty, and I liked it so much, it's come out again, but with (shock horror!) grey socks!

Tommy Hilfiger 'Hudson' jeans, Olive green Blue Inc. polo shirt, Firetrap casual plimsolls, Grey socks.

Saturday's attire

Another Saturday, another pair of brightly coloured socks! Yes it's that time again. Lunch out, followed by a bit of shopping and then dinner at my parents' house for the boy and me as my wife was babysitting for a friend.

The following outfit got the nod:

Tommy Hilfiger 'Hudson' jeans, Breton' style long-sleeved T-shirt, Merino wool cycling shirt, Baracuta 'Waterloo' boots, Orange socks.

 

Sunday's attire:

A day spent chilling out at home called for another slight variation on a previous oufit.

Tommy Hilfiger 'Hudson' jeans, Purple t-shirt, Jack & Jones grey sweatshirt, Firetrap casual plimsolls, Purple socks.

Saturday's attire:

Since starting this blog, I have come to realise that my weekends usually involve some kind of pub lunch. This weekend did not stray far from that theme. So to celebrate, I chose a slight variation on a previous outfit:

Tommy Hilfiger 'Hudson' jeans, H&M white shirt, Red V-neck sweater, Primark, Canvas Jacket, Baracuta 'Waterloo' Boots, Red socks.

Tuesday's attire

I tagged a day's holiday onto the Bank Holiday and what did we do....? Go shopping again!

I was looking for some summer clothes and for holiday-wear, but I ended up buying nothing. I came so close to buying a beautful pair of Converse Bosey Hi-Tops in TK Maxx, but I wondered what I would wear them with. If they had been low-tops, I would have them on right now.

They were suede, with heavy duty black rubber edging and cool leather laces. I'm talking myself back into them now....Must...resist....

Anyway, for this shopping trip, I made a slight change to yesterday's outfit:

Tommy Hilfiger 'Hudson' jeans, Olive green Blue Inc. polo shirt, Firetrap casual plimsolls.

Bristol Zoo

We were given tickets to Bristol Zoo for Christmas, but we didn't get a chance to go until now. The weather forecast said it was going to be the hottedt day of the year and this left me with a dilemma as all of my summer shorts are too big for me now! So what's a fellow to do? Cut up a pair of jeans and make some shorts of course!

I teamed them up with the following:

Jeans shorts, Grey Blue Inc. polo shirt, Firetrap casual plimsolls.

Sunday's attire

Another lazy Sunday invloving lunch in town and the afternoon at my parents' house.

This gave me a chance to wear another piece of clothing that never fitted before, but is now borderline too big!

Tommy Hilfiger 'Hudson' jeans, Asda 'George' pale brown shirt, John Rocha brown sweater, Baracuta 'Waterloo' boots, Orange socks.

Saturday's attire

Just when I thought we had finished the children's Birthday parties....Another one pops up!

This one took place at a 'soft play' centre with all the big bouncy climbing frames for us the children to play on.

For these fun-filled couple of hours I chose the following outfit:

Tommy Hilfiger 'Hudson' jeans, Sainsburys 'Grandad' shirt, Jasper Conran denim shirt, Harrykson Brogues, Green socks.
