I took Grandma shopping for clothes to Fraser's yesterday. She was particularly keen to shop there because she saw an article about Jackie Kennedy inspired fashion in the Herald Scotland last week, and she wanted to check out a suit that was featured in the article. I thought hard about where to park so that she wouldn't have to walk too far, and was lucky to find a space in Drury Street, just outside Carluccio's. We browsed around a bit and found the suit in L. K. Bennett quite quickly (even though Grandma had no idea what make it was!) It was really nice; a blend of navy and white wool with wee navy pockets, feminine and smart. I do like 1960s styles. All went well until Grandma tried on the skirt; I agreed with her that it was a bit on the short side and didn't suit her. Luckily two very helpful sales assistants swung into action at this point and found a lovely textured navy skirt which looked perfect with the jacket even though they were from different brands (the jacket was by L. K. Bennett and the skirt was by Hobbs) A little cream coloured top completed the outfit and Grandma was delighted. We had a celebratory cup of tea in Caffè Nero before heading home.
