The first week of summer here,
as often is the case it was
cooler, wet and windy.
A break in the weather,
a chance for some quick
photos , taken at the
storage area where
John stores and works
on his cars.
It is also where both
his and our sons kayaks
are stored and as a
trip was planned ,
loading them onto
the car was the order
of the day.
As he was photographer
how could I refuse to help,
minus the cream jacket,
a girl must be practicable.
Wearing a jacket by
Covers , sadly
like so many ,
this small business
no longer exists.
Pairing the jacket
with wide leg cotton
pants by Nicola Waite
Pity about the crushing,
they are so great to
wear otherwise.
I can live with the creases.
Another jacket as
good going as coming,
I love the pleating detail.
I am now so pleased I
have collected several
unusual jackets over
many seasons.
Simply playing with
black and white.
Takes me back to
working for Kodak,
oh so many moons ago.
What do you think?
Good news for our
family this week,
our youngest son,
graduated uni finishing
with outstanding results.
Off to Melbourne next week
for his graduation ceremony.
A celebration and a city fix,
for me nothing better.

What an interesting jacket! That unexpected pleated detail on the back – wow! And as it is white it can be paired with so many things. This is really a great garment to have in one's wardrobe. Love your wide leg trousers too, such a comfy thing.
Thank you Olga, you are so right it is a very easily wearable jacket. So good to see you.
What a fantastic jacket! Wonderful details, and I bet it goes with anything. Unusual, sophisticated jackets really are your trademark, aren't they? Congratulations on your son's graduation! Enjoy the trip and the ceremony.
I hadn,t thought about it but I guess my love of interesting jackets does come to the fore in my posts. Thank you I am looking forward to next week and the ceremony.
Love this jacket so much Jill. I wish I lived close by so we could go shopping together. Your jacket collection is great and the way you've styled this one is fabulous!!!
Thank you Elsie, so good to see you back. Shame we live on opposite sides of the country, you could teach me your hair wrap secrets.
This jacket is a beauty! You do have a wonderful collection – each one shines. You look elegant as always in your wide leg pants, Jill. I don't mind wrinkles either. Congratulations to your son and to you – what a brilliant young man! I can imagine how proud and happy you are! I am positive you all will have such a great time celebrating in Melbourne! And I hope we get to enjoy your travel pictures some time in the near future. 🙂 xxx
Jackets have always been favourites of mine, a clothing item I always hang onto. As a mother I am very proud of my son and his achievment and his hard work along the way. I am looking forward to out trip to Melbourne and no doubt all going well will share some pictures.
I'm such a fan of great statement jackets and this one certainly qualifies! The fit is perfection and the little details really elevate it to must-have status.Congratulations to your son! Have a wonderful time in the city ;-)Aliciaspashionista.com
A love of jackets and their ability to change any outfit is one we share, I so often admire yours, Alicia.A trip to a bigger city is something I always enjoy. Thank you for your always kind comments.
My very happiest congratulations to your dear son on his uni grad! What an awesome accomplishment! I love this outfit, Jill. The wide legged pants (a personal fave style of mine) instantly bring Katharine Hepburn to mind and you know, I could see her wearing this whole ensemble were she still with us today. It's so classic, classy and becoming.Big hugs & a great many thanks for you immensely lovely (and touching) comment on yesterday's post,♥ Jessica
