On Sunday, we were invited to Ferguson Flowers on the Belmont Road, Belfast for a special Halloween fun day. It was all about the kids - with Halloween floral arrangements that the kids could make themselves, dunking for apples, cupcakes and dressing up.
Me? I dressed up in Double Denim for the occasion..
I took my inspiration from the lovely Michelle over at MyFashionable40's, I used a jumper and a scarf to break up the denim a bit. I also think the patchwork denim gives some contrast too.
As it was a freezing cold day, I put my new navy BHS coat over. This is a super bargainous coat that I was lucky enough to pick up on a 20% off day. It feels so soft and I was asked today if it was cashmere! Unfortunately not - you get what you pay for but it's just the right cut of navy coat I was looking for. I am wearing a size 8 - they come up big.

The kids really enjoyed the day - even my oldest who's a bit too cool for all this Halloween dressing up..but not for dunking apples clearly!
and the girls made two gorgeous floral displays that they gave to their Granny later on.
Will leave you with this cool pumpkin that was displayed in the shop - just the inspiration I need for this year's creation...
Happy Halloween - hope you have a good one

You look gorgeous - I would never in a million years have dreamed those jeans would be so fabulous on! xx
ReplyDeleteMe either Joanna! I didn't take the labels off for a couple of days. But I think with the right outfit, they look fab. I feel like they need some navy in the outfit - I've tried with black but there's too much clash for me. You've got to try them! Ax
DeleteI love how much wear you are getting from your bag, and your coat is gorgeous! This shop is great - we were there for their autumn opening and had a fab day!
ReplyDeleteBest buy ever! I hope you are not missing it too much! x
DeleteHappy Halloween! Its my Hubbys Birthday! Lol! Your girls look amazing & super cute! I love that coat on you! Ax
ReplyDeleteAw - happy birthday to hubby! I have 2 other friends who's birthdays it is on the 31st! Hope you all had a great day Andrea, Ax
DeleteHi Avril,
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit. Simple yet chic! That coat is really stylish, looks like it could be a French connection one. Will definitely be placing another scarf order v soon. I would love a bag like this one you have in these pics. Do you know if I can still get one like this from anywhere, or something similar?
