Print blouse and casual trousers.

Print blouse and casual trousers. I am mixing the pretty with the utilitarian. I have teamed my pink print blouse with my casual trousers. My blouse is by Mint Velvet available at JohnLewis&Partners. My cotton trousers are by Whistles and available at JohnLewis&Partners. They are also available in stone colour. I have worn both items frequently during my recent trip to France. They can be dressed up or down. My jewel sandals are several years old. Etsy (US link) have an interesting selection. I have also listed similar ones below.

Enjoying the evening sun in Grimaud village. All photos were taken by my friend Dee.

In the final image, I swapped my sandals for a pair of white plimsolls to create a more casual look.

MarksandSpencer has an excellent range of print blouses in both cotton and viscose. Boden also has some pretty ones.

I found my trousers and the blouse during my visit to The Bentalls Centre Kingston in March. Sometimes it pays to visit the shops in person at the beginning of the season to check out the new stock. You can see my post on my visit here.

These photos are the last ones from my recent trip to France. We are off for a few days to the Cotswolds. I have put together a capsule wardrobe for our short four-day trip which I will publish next week.
