What to Wear to a Spring/Summer Tweed Ride - For the Ladies
(photo credit: diaryofavintagegirl.com)
A few weeks back I began to lament over just what to wear to a Tweed Ride with the temperatures rising daily to summer heat levels. I wasn't alone. This exact discussion popped up in the comments field of The Tweed Report I maintain. Briefly too, I touched upon the topic in the tail end of this recent post where I pondered over the possibilities of a "non Tweed" - Tweed Ride...
At any rate I'd pretty much made up my mind to forget the Tweed, and instead go for a linen ensemble, or possibly a vintage 40's floral dress. I was preparing to write this 'What to Wear to a Spring/Summer Tweed Ride' post last week. So imagine my sheer delight (whilst perusing some recent photos of the London Tweed Run) - I discovered Diary of a Vintage Girl. She chose vintage (but of course-natch!!) a floral dress...

She also delightfully writes about her London Tweed Run experience;
"I didn't know very many of the participants, and, because the ride was organised by the London Fixed-Gear and Single Speed cycling forums, a lot of the entrants were actual 'proper' cyclists, who have well-maintained equipment and are actually fit. But they don't wear tweed or vintage on a daily basis! So they had one advantage over us, and we had one over them! I think we set ourselves apart by starting with gin, stopping for gin and drinking gin most of the way across London!"
So think floral, think vintage. Consider a linen ensemble (I am), or even try a seersucker look. Khaki works wonders too - see middle girl in the top photo. Why not use Tweed accents, as in a pair of Tweed spats, or a Tweed DIY flower for instance to pin on your lapel or wear on your bicycle helmet and/or bonnet, or perhaps in your hair. London Tweed Run participants all wore Tweed arm bands as well, so why not be creative with a DIY Tweed arm band. Let's keep the creative ideas going!

SWEET TOOTH
I have been drawn to these images for some strange reason. Well alright, I admit it, I have a sweet tooth... but I know I'm not the only one out there with one, though.
Julian@Tallulah's Antique Closet
confessed he has one too. How about you?
I'm sure there's more of us out there :)
If you do have one, I know you will be
HAPPY
to see these images.
It's kind of making me want to run to the bakery
RIGHT NOW!!!

Maybe this will satisfy ALL OF OUR sweet teeth today!
Happy Birthday to you, Hope!!!!
