But the good news is that this gives me the perfect excuse to go wish list shopping.
Thais Ancient Greek Sandals
To deal with my Stella McCartney fettish I had to include this skirt. Which I'd wear with the cashmere jumper or just a white shirt. I could add my new pony skin slides (see above).

If, I mean, when I find the Stella too much for my budget I might have to seek solace in this super substitute. Worn with the white shirt that I've already got in the wardrobe.
The navy cashmere would go fantastically well with the Stella skirt though don't you think? Also navy cashmere looks great with white denim. Those lovely white Paris jeans would definitely come in handy.
Now, I'm in holiday mode. Thinking temperatures in the 30s or 40s. Stateside by the pool or on the beach and so I "need" this beach cover up then I won't have to make do with my oversize white shirt (that I must have had a decade or more now).
And of course, my swimwear is showing its age. Appendix and caesarean scars be damned, I am not yet ready for a one piece even of the magazines tell me I am. I require two things of a bikini. First no plastic fasteners. The sea salt deteriorates them and they snap. Believe me, I don't put the fastenings on bikini tops under any strain, so it can't be that and yes, it's embarrassing when the fastener gives out at the top of the slide in the local waterpark. Second, I don't like those tops that have those awful little pockets in which you stuff a small flesh coloured piece of, what looks remarkablyp like flattened chicken fillet. No thank you. Just double thickness Lycra and if possible no halter neck styles as well because unless you untie the straps you get those lines showing every time you wear a scoop neck top for the rest of the summer. The bikini below ticks all these boxes. And it's not got skimpy bottoms either.BUT the price is eye watering, so I'm hovering over the " purchase now" button.

And there's nothing I like better than to browse their lovely websites with a glass of wine (or gin with slimline tonight as I'm trying to be good. Yes, that is my definition of good) in hand and a discount code in my sweaty mitt. I must be a marketing department's dream come true but never mind because this is the perfect opportunity to look at the items I've been lusting over during spring / summer 2014, and check out if anything is left and still available in my size My list would include Chinti and Parker Cashmere, my favourite ancient Greek sandals and of course, the M I H jeans (Paris in white), another shirt dress (if that's humanly possible) and anything Stella McCartney as I can't afford it full price but could stretch to it if it's well reduced as a special purchase.
To start the ball rolling I bring you my favourite Birkenstocks but in Navy this time. I think these are sold out but I put them in my wish list anyway as Matches will tell you by email alert if they are back in stock. Still pricey even with the discount.
If I can't have the birkies I love these Ancient Greek Sandals. Perhaps they could be better than the birkies paired with "my" white jeans, that'll be the ones futher down the wish list.

Work, work and more work this week and so I won't bore you with an edit of what I've been wearing but I have got some photo opportunities coming up. Shopping in Winchester with a couple of girlfriends and then off to my favourite fish restaurant where I definitely plan to wear my pre sale purchase.
