So much fashion photography seems to be about wearing something entirely inappropriate for the weather, the situation and the environment, so here I am wearing what I think of as a 'city' outfit in the countryside!
Bidford-on-Avon is a charming little Warwickshire village about 45 minutes out of Birmingham and not far from the better known Stratford-Upon-Avon. The bf was excited to have a car again so he wanted to go for a drive yesterday, and I came across Bidford on the Internet. I'm so glad we went there rather than the obvious places like Henley or Stratford. We had a lovely walk along the river and sat in the beer garden for a pub lunch at The Frog which was under-staffed but delightful. I'd recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a nice Saturday lunch in the country.
My outfit wasn't entirely appropriate (the shoes especially) and ramblers kept walking past us with their stout walking boots on, but I was fine! It was only a gentle stroll along the river and it meant I got to show some pictures of the new mac, yay. I am so happy with it, especially as I got 30% off. The sun was shining but there was a chill in the air- perfect mac weather.
I love the red shoes too, though the sole is falling off as I've had them for years. They look great with the mac. I'm trying to find a similar pair as I think it would be cheaper to buy than to get them re-soled. I also have my favourite vintage chain-handle bag. They aren't as trendy as they were, but I still love mine, so classic and so chic.
The bf had a great time taking pictures using his SLR and tripod, though I was the one who carted the blummin' thing about! I love the photo below though, you can see my lovely scarf which was very cheap from H&M but reminds me of something my mum had in the early 90s.
Mac: Gap, Tshirt: Topshop, Skirt: H&M, Tights: Marks and Spencer's, Shoes: Faith, Scarf: H&M, Bag: Vintage via ebayAll in all a delightful day walking and taking photos and it was topped off with a night out at the HMV Institute for my friend's birthday which was lots of fun.
P.S Did you see the 'Super Moon'? I did! It was huge!
