Happy Diamond Jubilee weekend everybody!
In preparation for the weekend celebrations throughout London we had a red, white and blue dress code on Friday and this is what I wore. When my line manager found out beforehand that I owned a Union Jack print jacket I was given strict orders to wear it. And what better to celebrate what's great about Great Britain than wearing it with a piece by one of the best British designers out there, Dame Vivienne Westwood.
That's about as far as my patriotic duty extends I'm afraid! You won't catch me freezing to death camping on the Thames in the wind and torrential rain we've been having since yesterday waiting for a glimpse of the Queen as she sails by on her royal barge. In fact Mr V and I are taking advantage of the two bank holidays and are off to Spain today for some much needed sun.
Enjoy the long weekend!
This post is part of Visible Monday - head over to Not Dead Yet Style to see what everyone is wearing.
Union Jack Jacket: Topshop; Dress: Vivienne Westwood Anglomania; Shoes: Michael by Michael Kors; Bag; Prune

Great outfit, I have a Chanel union jack belt and that's about it. Im glad to be watching at home on TV and not stood freezing in the rain!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness. If they gave prizes at the office, your outfit would have surely won. I've watched some of the video of the goings on and the queen herself appears to be freezing.
ReplyDeleteenjoy spain! fabulous shoes too, I like the curved heel on them.
ReplyDeleteI am swooning over your dress and you wear it so well. Red, white and blue never looked so good. Have a restful time in Spain.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Terri - you should win for most royal-worth outfit, V! Love your VW jacket. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday.
ReplyDeleteI remember that blazer from last time and I love it even more with the red dress and killer heels, I bet no one could concentrate on any work with you looking so ravishing!
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic holiday in Spain, can't wait to see some beach & bikini shots on your return! x
I really like this jacket. Such strong colors!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing jacket! Perfect for celebrating the Diamond Jubilee. Enjoy your vacation in the sun!
ReplyDeletePerfect for a royal celebration...it would have been a great look for the Diamond Jubilee concert!
ReplyDeleteExcellent patriotic outfit! How cool is that, you actually have a union jack blazer. Enjoy sunny Spain! I just finished a project going through 400 years of Spanish art history (absolutely love the Spanish artists) as well as a bit on la corrida de toros (the matadors are impressive but I don't like to think of the bulls' pain.) Have a great holiday! -- J xxx
ReplyDeletewhat a sexy red dress! those heels aren't too bad either...love'em!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back!! The red draped dress is utterly gorgeous! Between that and the jacket/shoes, you're striking! Have fun in Spain; I imagine you'll be checking out some flamenco hot spots. Looking forward to your pictures.
ReplyDeleteVery cool outfit. I watched some of the Jubilee celebrations and the pagentry was amazing. They even decorate the horses.

You have a Vivienne Westwood jacket?! AND it's a Union Jack print? Be still my foolish heart! Man, I'd LOVE to have such a fabulous thing in my wardrobe. I loved the whole Jubilee thing, but like you, I wouldn't be standing in the pouring rain for hours. That's because I am officially a wimp.
ReplyDeleteHope you can come and have a look at my Jubilee outfits and commentary (such as it is)on my blog.
Cheers,
