Jack Wills "Summer Term" Booklet

I opened a Jack Wills "Summer Term" handbook I'd been given, with its silky, smooth paper and started to read. The introductory text actually read really well as it outlined the melting pot of culture and festivities from which it takes its inspiration. The photography presented a statement of partying, the great outdoors, fun and intimacy.

I think the next step from their range of self-layered vests should be reversible vests. Perhaps you'll get yourself a copy and ponder the concept?

Stripes, floral, brights, frills featured prominently as I turned the pages of merchandise.

The Jack Wills Winchelsea dress took me back to the days when layers of petticoat were a must - what fun! Their Saltwell Shorts and Scotney Boy-Fit Shorts are worth a close look you young girls out there. The Framwellgate Blazer, is an acquired taste but a look that I would go for.

Jack Wills Lilburn Slim leg trousers, Ethelston Beach shorts and Hetton shorts are brilliant items for the male wardrobe.

When I made time to looked up, beyond the glare of sunlight, I saw a "bottled" blond with her long hair fastened to one side, who appeared dreamy as she listened to whatever was playing through her ear-phones. Her pale skin tone made her blackened eye lashes so noticeable, besides the glistening sheen on her lips. As she stood to exit the bus so I could see the full extent of her fashion sense: jeans tucked into beige ankle boots, safari-green cotton jacket with rolled sleeves that revealed a white top. A woolly scarf wound around her neck completed her casual appearance. She slung her large tan bag from her shoulder and strode briskly ahead whilst busily texting on her mobile. I believe she of those people that could throw on anything and look good.

My eyes then went to the seat adjacent to mine where a lady sat, that I regularly see reading for the duration of her bus-ride. Only today, having aborted her read and devoured an entire pot of dip and mini pitta-breads, she wrote copiously onto lined A4 paper. Almost out of character, she had a nostril piercing plus ears that had been subject to triple piercings. She had a very neat bun securely stabbed in place with a long decorative hat-pin. Completely detached from her surroundings she was transfixed to the task-in-hand.

I returned to my more casual read and concluded that Jack Wills "Summer Term" range did have some items that represented good value, irrespective of the stigma that still exists that they attract only customers with a disposable income.

I started my day well... and by mid morning our team were exchanging, not secret Santa presents, but Easter Bunny gifts - the day got even better!
