 Monday

Autumnal colours for a winters day 'cause I march to the beat of my own drum......

 ..... or wanted to wear my big warm boots so just chucked on something that matched!

 I'm quite enjoying the cold weather and wrapping up for it, but I have to say that It makes me not care so much about how I dress!

Tuesday

 Finally I saw some snow!

 I like this outfit - It felt quite classic casual for winter in the UK.

 I'm not sure I've worn these boots on the blog before - they're pretty old. Sorry you can't see them properly, they're pretty weird!

 So this jumper is from H&M and it's from their standard collection in size XL (which is a UK 22-24).....

 .... now compare the jumper to these chinos from the H&M plus range. UK size 28 apparently. Total bullshit. Their plus range is a disgrace!

Super cold weather outfit!

Another jeans and jumper combo... like I said, I haven't been too bothered about outfits this week, I just wanted to be warm!

I would like more sweaters like this - they're warm but thin enough to go under big coats without over heating!

Yet another picture where you can't actually see my boots. I meant to take a close-up but work pesky work got in the way.

This is in no way the outfit I wanted to wear to show off this lovely skirt, but my attempts to find a striped shirt to go with it (and style-steal from Sienna Miller) has been a total failure!

All I want is a soft striped shirt with long sleeves that is smart, loose and flowing. Too much to ask if you're above a size 18 it seems :(

Anyway, the skirt is from Simply be, it's £35 and it's nice and comfy. It's stretchy but for some mad reason it has a zip on the side, which almost ruin's the shape, but I got the 24 so it's got enough looseness to not crease on the side too much. It's a bit of a shame because the 22 looked nicer apart from the side with the zip!

I nipped to the British Museum on Friday afternoon and them met my fella for some totally lush grub at the hare and tortoise (Brunswick Centre) so I could have plum wine spritzer and Laksa. Too yummy!

I then got really excited when I found a bubble tea shop round the corner - I've wanted to try a bubble tea for ages, and this was just so very delicious!

Saturday

I decided to try a dip dye. The first stage was bleach to lighten the bottom (which I didn't do very well... not surprisingly!) so I could add a bright orange / ginger to the bottom. It was already a ginger -toned blond so it was slightly pointless but....

Sunday

So here it is. Uneven and underwhelming. I dunno. I don't hate it but I'm not excited about it either, but I'm glad I finally did it, I've been wanting to try it for ages! I think this might be a good opportunity to start dying my hair a slightly lighter brown. I chose to go dark again because it's easier to deal with my white hairs, but I'm bored of the almost black and I want something warmer. Dark Chestnut next time maybe!

Wardrobe weekly

Quite a brief wardrobe weekly as I was only in work for 4 days and I totally forgot to take pics when I was out on Saturday!

Monday

 You seen this dress in my previous post so I don't need to bang on about it here do I?

 I will just say though, I realised when I looked at the cardboard tag, that it is actually a XXL, which explains why I thought it was generous! I think this would fit a 26 'cause I think it supposed to be a 26! Sorry about that, I requested the smaller size, but I guess there was confusion because of the lack of UK sizes on the labelling!

 Yey Vintage dresses!

 I love this one. It's so comfy and soft!

 This is the dress I was wearing a while back that I described as my 'tropical fish' dress....

 I then got re-tweeted by someone who sells tropical fish. Famous Cass.

 Dress size ? -Vintage

Boots - Yours... widest they do!

Wednesday

 I always forget about this cute Swan Skirt from Evans. It's actually very wearable.

 I didn't think I'd really wear the skirt without the the matching top, but I really liked this simple outfit in the end, so I guess I will!

I was enjoying my halo while taking these pics!

Thursday

 I love my new evans coat. It was a sensible purchase and I've been wearing it all the time!

 So then, underneath I had a pair of trousers that STILL seem to baffle people. I always get stared at, despite the fact I live work in central London!

 Even some of my collegues seem to constantly feel the need to tell me that I'm wearing neon trousers. Even though I've worn them to work loads. It's so odd, it's like some people are still baffles by colour!

 Of course other people just told me they love them, and I still love them. Well comfy!

Wardrobe Weekly

This is my 300th post apparently - this explains where this year has gone huh?! It's been a busy week... a busy month actually, but I've found time to join Instagram at last. I'm plumpparsnip on there if you want to follow me and be bored by pictures of any random shit I like!

Monday

 I kept it Simple because I was two outfits Parsnips on Monday!

 I wore my new Primark shoes (which are also available in black, but you know, they always sell out of black shoes in size 7!) which are pretty awesome considering they're both pointy and flat.

 These are surprisingly comfortable and I know I'm going to love them with socks when it gets a bit colder! The ankle fastening is a bit fiddly, but it's pretty secure once it's done up. These are a sort of ox-blood red / burgundy in real life, despite them looking sort of brown here!

 In the evening I got all dolled up for a lovely posh do and wore the lovely dress I got from Asos Curve for £16. I got so many compliments so I guess it was a good look! The little jacket is an old stunner from H&M (standard range) that is sort of Art Deco in style. One day I'll remember to show you the back, which is the bast part of it!

 The dress is rather booby on me, but thats no bad thing.... it's subtle boob! Free fizz!

 So the little shoes I got from New Look were super pretty and comfy during the party, but for walking around London afterwards? Not so much! My feet never cope will with this kind of straight cut band, unless it's super soft fake leather!

Tuesday

 I felt a bit wrong on Tuesday (see the glass in my hand above? that was refilled more times that I could count!) so I wore super stretchy and comfy clothes.

Wednesday

 I love this outfit. I's rare that I wear completely pattern-free clothing, so maybe it's the unusualness I enjoyed? I'm not sure, but I felt fab in this. Very comfy, but also very smart. It's hard to see here, but the trousers are cobolt blue, as are the shoes.

 I really really love these Barbara Hulaniki tops from George, they're very versatile and stylish, but they're lovely and loose (not clingy) so I can wear them with pretty much anything!

 Oh how I love a change of pace! From funky smart to vintage lady! This is one of my MANY vintage Evans dresses. I still don't have any modern Evans dresses, but I'm planning to buy many of the pieces from the Evans Collective range when it's released (well, IF it's released as seen on the catwalk!).

 I got this on ebay a while back and I love love love it! The ladies at work really liked this dress for some reason. I guess it's quite a classic shape!

Friday

 I was off site on Friday, and it was so hot and humid that I wore a nice lightweight summer dress. The jacket came off at lunchtime and didn't go back on until the evening!

 Asos holographic plimsols. These are now available in gold too, and I want them (obviously!)

 In case my outfit wasn't bright enough... you know.

 It's been a long time since I was near the dome. Nice day for it!

 After work I met my boyfriend and went to Greenwich park while the sun set, before going off for some grub (and a strawberry daiquiri!)

 Drinking in the park. Nice! I also got about 800 mosquito bites during this particular jaunt. Bastards!

Saturday

 Today I didn't really get dressed (I'm wearing a jumpsuit and no undies - you don't need to see that!) but yesterday I HAD to go out and get food, so I put clothes on. I love the colour of this t-shirt from Asos Curve, it's excellent!
