I don’t know about you but from time to time I have to visit a playground , today was one of those days.
I am not really sure if this stems from a need to relive my own childhood or to refresh memories of playground time with my now grown children.
Whatever the reason I firmly believe we should never loose the joy of playing and simply having
fun , life is way to short to be taken too seriously, find your inner child and let her free.
Over the weekend I attended a gathering of many of my cousins . We are a varied bunch in our 50’s,
60’s and early 70’s, living all over the country,. most of us had not seen one another for over twenty
years . Stories flowed , as did shared childhood memories of large family gatherings and our beloved grandparents.
To play today I wore a watermelon jacket , my black multi-tiered skirt from Paula Ryan worn
over three quarter length straight leg pants, various bangles , pink and orange sandals and my
Ted Baker flowery bag.

You look so lovely in colour, and this is yet another great jacket.
Thanks so much, Tiina , I really am trying to add more colour into my wardrobe and find a colourful jacket a great way to do this .
I love everything of your today's outfit! Watermelon colour is brigh and suits you! I should try something in the colour too … as floral prints always are among my favourite, I also like your bag! Playgrounds are joyful places and children bring a smile into our lives…
I can see you in the bright watermelon colour Dan , maybe with Spring around the corner for you you will. Thank you for your kind comments.
Never lose the joy of play! And that's a lovely watermelon jacket. Thanks for sharing, xo-Pattihttp://notdeadyetstyle.com
I do hope I never lose the joy of play. It was a pleasure to wear my watermelon coloured jacket for Visible Monday Patti, thanks so much for hosting.
Watermelon is a fabulous color! I have to ask…At the playground, did you swing really high then jump off? I haven't had the nerve to try that in YEARS!
I must admit Susan I did swing but jumping off mid swing , afraid not , far too aware of damaging myself these days.Thank you for visiting , glad you liked the watermelon.
Like you, playgrounds conjure nice feelings. I'm reminded of my sons when they were little. The bright colors are also very attractive. Red is a great color on you, Jill. Love the peplum cinch on the jacket as well.
They do bring back such happy memories of our once little boys don't they . Like you I do like a peplum on my tops and jackets.Thank you so much Glenda.
Oh I love the color of your jacket! It just makes your outfit. I can never pass a slide without taking at least one ride down, by the way. 🙂
Thanks Laurie , I am rather fond of this jacket both style and colour. Glad I am not the only one that enjoys a playground.
Oh Jilly. I'll gladly sit on the teeter totter with you. I love these colors and the flowery tote. It's about time we started to dress our inner child while keeping a bit of our outer grown-up intact.
We could have such fun together on that teeter totter Connie, shame you are so far away.I agree with on dressing that inner child and keeping a bit of our grown up outer intact.
That watermelon jacket is wonderful. The shape, the cut, the colour. Lovely. And lets talk about that tote. WANT. bisousSuzanne
Thank you so much Suzanne , I can see that tote fitting in with your some of your wonderful florals.
My dearest Jill in Glorious pink. I will leave free both 19th and 20th of May for you.Will you write to my email with details, pleaseeeeee, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.So looking forward to hugging you
Me too Sacramento , roll on May.
Hi Jill! I knew THAT bag was Ted Baker! Love it, and the watermelon pink looks like you brought Spring with you. Love it, I did a post last year on the swingset, and slide! Totally agree we all need to have fun, laugh more. Thanks for linking up to turning heads tuesday!jess xxwww.elegantlydressedandstylish.com
I knew you would like the Ted Baker bag Jess, it really is a bit you, it really does sing Spring doesn't it.
To keep a sense of joy and playfulness throughout our lives is so important. I love that colour on you Jill and the bag is just fun, fun, fun! http://petitesilvervixen.blogspot.co.uk/
I totally agree with you that sense of joy and playfulness, hopefully will continue forever. I do like this colour , it is a fun colour to wear.
