Never too early for Christmas jumpers

Hey, if it's chilly out and you have a cozy Christmas jumper, why wait until Christmas when everyone else is wearing theirs, right?

We snapped this with Karen real quick before heading for Mexican dinner in town. I'm a poster child for Penneys again, but I have to stock up on their stuff before I leave, me thinks.

Details:

Jumper: Penneys/Primark (they forgot to put this up on the web, but it's definitely still in the shops)

Skirt: Penneys /Primark

Hat: Borrowed from Karen, also from Penneys/Primark

Shoes: bought in Barcelona yonks ago

Life on a shoestring

I'm feeling the yellow this year. It's always been a colour I never connected with, but this year something changed. It must be the summer calling me, telling me to return to my warm and sunny homeland in Italy. And I will do just that, in less than two months. I'll be leaving Ireland, where I've spent more than a decade and all my adult life, to return to Tuscany and try to make a life there again. It's going to be a challenge. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy this island as much as possible. And the friends I'll leave behind, like the wonderful Karen who took these pictures. Thanks Kaz for the lovely weekend. 

The title of this post comes from a spur of the moment, to tie a shoestring around my collar. I've seen pictures with shirts and ribbons, and they look lovely but I didn't have a ribbon than went with this outfit so I just took a shoestring. I think it's going to be my signature look from now on :)
