Jubilee fashion(!), (belated)

This year has been a very patriotic one. I think everyone is feeling proud to be British what with the lovely Queens diamond jooby and the Olympics and the paralympics. Oh wait, i must express my confusion as to why the olympics was ended and opened so grandly and officially, what about the paralmpics? It better be getting as big, or a deserved bigger in my opinion set of ceremony's! I feel the devotion shown by the paralympians is unmatchable, i have so much respect and admiration for them. What a beautiful example they are setting, so powerful.

On the Queens jubilee, as a Royalist and lover of the Queen and all her family i attended a family jubilee BBQ and watched the ceremony on the telly beforehand... I decided to go for a patriotic 1950's sort of look -

 

^I am wearing a Henry Holland shirt (very loud I know!)^
 and a Matalan skirt, which after this event i must admit i took back to the shop...should i be admitting that? i just didn't feel confident in it! But it did do my outfit criteria justice on this occasion. And New Look vintage looking shoes, i loved these but with general wear and tear (and my clumsy rambles) the little heels are inverted! Bless them! I also had primark seamed tights on but alas you cannot see.
