lightning changed my life

So as I promised earlier, here is the newest edition to my wardrobe. The Struck by Lightning tunic comes courtesy of Ruche and I love it.

The spring air made me yearn for picnics and buttercups so what better way to showcase this tunic then with a little frolic in the meadow just a short drive from where I live. It is so lovely there. Not only does it have copius amouts of meadow space to run and leap but it sits on the bank of a lovely bubbling stream. My sister and I couldn't resist taking our shoes off and dipping our feet in.


The top itself is incredibly versatile. So far I've paired it with a black laced a-line skirt to work and with these jeans for a more casual day wear look. I've also worn it with highwaisted denim shorts but my legs are so white at the moment I thought I better leave that look in the privacy of my own home. The tiny wee lightning pattern is ever so sweet but what I love most is the lovely shiny black buttons down the front.



Just so you know - I NEVER wear trousers. EVER. I'm strictly a skirt and dress kinda girl. But this tunic looked so good with these jeans slightly turned up at the cuff that I had to wear them. Hence, lightning changed my life.
