Sunday's attire

On Sunday we went to visit our beautiful new niece and spend the day with the family.

For this I chose to wear the following outfit:

Tommy Hilfiger 'Hudson' jeans, Pale blue Jack & Jones 'Oxford' shirt, Sainsburys 'Grandad' shirt, Harrykson Brogues, Blue & Pink polka dot socks.   

Saturday's attire

Saturday saw us out to the pub for lunch as an early Father's Day treat for my Dad and I....

For this I chose the following outfit:

Tommy Hilfiger 'Hudson' jeans, Asda pink shirt, Sainsburys striped short-sleeved T-shirt, Primark Canvas Jacket, Harrykson Brogues, Red socks.  

Monday's attire

Monday saw us heading back to Primark to exchange a couple of things.

For this trip I chose the following outfit:

Tommy Hilfiger 'Hudson' jeans, Asda beige shirt, Red T-Shirt, Primark Canvas Jacket, Baracuta 'Waterloo' Boots, Red socks. 

While I was there I picked up a nice French-style canvas overshirt / jacket. I had seen it in there the last time we went, but at £20, I thought it was a bit too similar to something I already had so I decided against it. Imagine my surprise this time when I saw it discounted to £3! When we paid for it, it came up at £10, so I went to look at the other couple on the sale rail and they said £10 (my one had £3 written over the price in red) Anyway, we queried it with customer services and they refunded us the £7.

So here in all its glory is my £3 overshirt!

Perfect for that poor impoverished artist look....I just need a simple collarless shirt to complete the outfit!

Sunday's attire

My wife had a friend and her son over for lunch before they headed out to the Banbury Show.

Kate did a nice lunch for us and the two children and for this chilled oout day I chose the following outfit (again!):

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

Saturday's attire

Another 4 day weekend....I could get used to this!

Friday saw me stuck inside sorting out cupboards, so no need for a nice outfit. Saturday was spent selling off some of my collection at a vintage Action Man sale and for this I chose the following summery outfit:

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

In the evening, we actually went out....Just the two of us!

We went for a lovely meal at the wonderful Great Western Arms in Aynho:

My wife and I both agreed that it was one of the best meals we've ever had. Homemade bread with humous and olive oil to start, followed by beer battered cod and chips with peas and tartare sauce for me, and chicken breast in a mushroom sauce for Kate chased home by sticky toffee pudding and fruit crumble for afters. It was out of this world and the staff were so friendly. You have to give this place a go. We are going to be heading back very soon!

For this lovely evening I chose the following outfit:

Tommy Hilfiger 'Hudson' jeans, Olive Green 'Penguin' shirt, Sainsburys 'Grandad' shirt, Harrykson Brogues, Green socks.

Sunday's attire

Saturday saw us cycling near Stratford upon Avon, so my outfit was a eclectic mix of BMX and Mountain Bike gear...

Sunday was spent with the family in the glorious sunshine.

For this I chose the following outfit:

Jeans shorts, Olive green Blue Inc. polo shirt, Firetrap casual plimsolls.

Friday's attire

A day off to go to Primark. One of the main reasons was so my wife could return some stuff that didn't fit. We were half way there only for her to realise she had left the bag containing the said stuff on the table at home. I have a feeling we will be going back again very soon!

Anyway for this trip I chose the following outfit:

Dark Blue Matalan jeans, Sainsburys striped short-sleeved T-shirt, Pale blue Jack & Jones 'Oxford' shirt, Baracuta 'Waterloo' boots, Blue socks.

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.

Sunday's attire

Our son went for lunch at my parents yesterday, so we had a child-free grown-up lunch like the old days! No restraining in high-chairs, being drawn on with crayons, being the target for thrown food....So dull! How did we ever enjoy this? :D

For these quiet relaxed few hours I chose the following outfit:

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