Election Fever Part One: True Blue?


Today is the start of Election Week in the UK.
I am still having trouble deciding which party will get my vote.
However, one thing is certain I will be voting on Thursday as I am indebted to those brave women who put their lives on the line so that women got the vote.
And to celebrate the efforts of these women I will explore the options I have today which in effect comes down to four choices, blue, red, yellow or green.
Today I will consider the blue option.
But don't forget there is another important contest this week - the chance to win a Flamenco Shawl all the way from Seville.
If you haven't already check out the details here.

Today I wore:
Jeans - Top Shop
Shirt - Marks and Spencer
Wrap - Joe Brown
Boots - Clarks

  10. We've been following the elections here in the states, especially your first ever debates for Prime Minister. They've gotten lots of play.
    Recently I saw a wonderful documentary, Seneca Falls on womens fight for the vote on this side of the Atlantic. It also brought home how much further we need to go. I agree, vote and remember those strong, determined women without whom we would very possibly not have the right to vote.

  12. My favorite sweater of yours! I'm curious to know whom you'll choose? Will you share it with us or keep it private? Either way, happy to hear you're voting!

  14. Hi, Jane, you are one clever lady! As usual I love all your outfits and admire the ease and style of presenting yourself. Inspired by you blog I have started to take pictures at Oxfam every Monday. Must write about it elsewhere and later. (Another private lesson with Klara from Klara's Crafts tomorrow.
