72 days to go: Dreaming of Summer

I last wore this top here on August 26th 2008 - the final day of our Spanish holiday.
It has gone through a few changes since I bought it from Zara in 2003.
Originally it had straps but then I chopped them off for a strapless look.
I tend to only wear it now on holidays.
It is a very versatile number as the elasticated top section means I can wear it as a skirt/beach cover-up too.
Today I just wanted to wear it because I found this necklace for £1.00 in Primark and the colours just reminded me of the top.
Which reminded me of summer.
Which reminded me of sunshine.
Which reminded me that there are just three months to go (today) until we fly back to Barcelona.

I wore
trainers - Nike
Jeans - Gap
Top - Zara
Necklace and Cardigan - Primark

Y Vivia Espana: Capsule Wardrobe Challenge

Thanks to everyone who responded to my ten items, one working week challenge. The results were creative and inspiring.
Here's another. In three weeks I will be going on holiday to a campsite (mobile home) in Barcelona with the family (husband and four kids).
Our days are usually spent by the pool, the beach or playing tennis. The evenings in the outdoor bar area watching flamenco etc. We usually have one sight seeing day.
We will be away for 12 nights.
I am starting with four bikinis.
I will allow myself three pairs of shoes (one walking, one flipflops and one strappy sandals).
After that I'm getting stuck.
I want to make sure every item I take can be worn at least twice but in different ways.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Day 12: We're going to win the cup. (I hope!)

Today I am watching my son play football at Everton FC's training ground. For those who don't know much about football, Everton is the second best team in Liverpool!
My son's school have reached the local finals. Parents have been banished to the stands but I hope to catch a glimpse of my little one.
The forecast is for showers. And as we all know there is no such thing as unsuitable weather just unsuitable clothing. So, I am prepared. I have my trusty mac. I will be wearing.......
Jeans. Primark (2008)
Top (Next, 2007)
Belt, Mexx (2008)
Shoes, Mexx (2008)
Bangles, Debenhams, (2008)
Necklace, Christmas Gift from my husband.
Mac, Gap (2005)
But before I go I just wanted to share this cute bag with you. It is a resuable shopping bag created by Cath Kidston for Tesco, to raise funds for Marie Curie nurses. It will certainly brighten my shopping trips up and I plan to use it as a beach bag in Barcelona this summer.
