Wardrobe Fortnight

Although I have been relatively busy, I have in the main been lazy, which is why I missed wardrobe weekly last week. Hey-ho, two for the price of one this time round!

Tuesday
 I met my bestie for dinner and theater (Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown - the musical - I don't recommend it even though I adore Tamsin Greig!) so I wore my pretty new dress.
 My girl was wearing the same asos dress but in a different print from the standard range!
Dress 24 - Asos Curve
Leggings 20 - South / Very
Boots - Primark

Wednseday
 I've had this dress for a while, but it's proper vintage and is therefore thick and synthetic so I had to wait for cold-ass weather before I could wear it!
 I like a good granny dress!
Close-up of the print. Ace.
Dress 24 - Vintage (via ebay)
Leggings 20 - Primark
Boots - Yours Clothing

Thursday
 Me? In a crop top? On a Thursday?!
 I decided to layer up and I didn't want to be too boring with all this black on, so a bit of a crossword seemed like a good idea!
Black turtle neck - cut off an old dress!
Crop top - Very (customised)
Trousers 24 - Yours
Boots - Asos

Friday
 Casual Friday.....
 .... cold Friday more like!
Jumper 20 - Primark
Jeans 22 - Dorothy Perkins
Boots - Crocs

Sunday
Out for a roast dinner with my beau!

Dress 24 - Lovedrobe
Leggings & Cardi 20 - Primark
Boots - Asos

Monday again
 You may not know it from my expression, but any day that I'm wearing this dress is a good day!
 This is one of the George Graduate collection pieces from when they actually went above a size 20. It's such a shame that they've gone backwards and don't do size 22 & 24 in their special collections :(

Boots - Crocs
Necklace - Primark

Tuesday again
 Ooohhh lordy there be some frost on the ground!
 Tuesday was day one of the 'I'm 33 now' celebrations, so I wore my newest dress!
 I think the pattern on this, and the stretchy jersey, and the long sleeves. It's SO comfy. I do so love a long sleeved jersey dress!
 It gave me a good excuse to wear my beloved swarovski meteor earrings that only come out on special occasions.
 Glittery crystals and minerals....
 On a jagged rock. Had them for years, still love them!
Dress 24 - So Fabulous via Very
Leggings 22 - Very / South
Boots - Simply Be

Wednesday
 BIRTHDAY TIME! I got a juicer and I love it! I tried smoothies for a while, but they give me terrible indigestion if I have them regularly (I guess my gut doesn't like excessive amounts of peel and pulp!) so I wanted to try juicing. So good - I can buy a shed load of fruit and veg from the market for less than the cost of a fresh juice from the shops. I made us a homemade version of Prets Green Goodness and it tasted identical.... but probably only cost us 50p each!
 It was so cold on my birthday that it gave me a good excuse to wear my snow boots.
 And I like this dress, so I wore it again - I think big chunky boots look best with short, full dresses or skinny trousers, so this was what I went for.
Cute embroidery!
Dress 24 - Asos Curve
Leggings 20 - Primark
Boots - Crocs

Thursday
 It's been ages since I wore a jumper over a shirt. I think it's because it reminds me of school, but you know what, I really liked this outfit.
I love my coated jeans from Dorothy perkins - They're very comfortable and are really generous for size 22.
 I wore my bespoke Black Heart creatives earrings for the first time this week. they're ace.
 The boots are really old.
I always wanted some Ugg cardigan boots, but they were so expensive and seemed pretty impractical so I got some Bear Paw boots from TK Maxx instead - cardigan legs, suede shoes. the soles aren't as good quality-wise but they're mega snuggly and are big enough to stretch over my huge legs!
Shirt 24 - George
Jumper 20 - Primark
Jeans 22 - Dorothy Perkins
Boots - Bear Paw
Earrings - Black Heart Creatives

Friday
 You know, I can't wait for the mornings to get lighter again, then I will be able to see when two colours match!
 This was a comfy outfit that I didn't think much about. I just wanted to be warm!

Dress 24 - Lovedrobe
Leggings XL - H&M

Saturday
 So I went out with my fella on Saturday and nothing that I had planned to do quite worked out, so I forgot to get any outfit pictures! These shitty snaps will have to do! I'm wearing my old wrap that I've had for maybe 4 years?! I knew they'd come back in to fashion.... they're classic!
We went to Bird in Hoxton and wow we were full afterwards! I've always wanted to try chicken and waffles - some proper soul food! The waffles are spongy and full of flavour and the chicken was really really tasty. the coating was very thin and very crispy.... I have no idea what the coating is made of, but it's not like a normal better, and it's not breaded. It's really really nice and not dripping with grease like some fried chicken I've had in the past. The fries are tiny and addictive crunchy and chewy. the fried pickles are nice but we didn't finish them because there was SO much food! My tip is to order the chicken and waffle burger then split it between two, because as you can see, it's basically two burgers!

Wardrobe fortnight

Late late late, so double the ootd's!

Monday

Tuesday
 I've lost my paranoia about wearing hipster hats. I can't cope with woolly hats unless it's properly cold (like 2 degrees and below!) but these kind of hats are not as hot and still protect me from the drizzle!
 I've had these shoes for ages and finally got round to wearing them.
 I may be very nearly 33, but that doesn't stop me appreciating plaits, bunches and pigtails!
 You can see how thin my hair is when it's like this. Actually it's not thin, there are lots of strands of hair, but they're all very fine!
Owl earrings!
 Pale gold with fringes and tassels! Glittery socks too.... I had to!
Jumper 24 - George
Jeggings 22 - Dorothy Perkins
Coat 24 - Evans
Hat / Scarf / earrings / shoes / socks - Primark

Wednesday
 I look forward to wearing this dress, but because the skirt is made of two layers I can only wear it when it's cold!
 No idea why I look so serious in these pictures?!
Dress 24 - Anna Scholz Black Label
Leggings 20 - very /south
Boots - Simply Be

Thursday
 I went to a conference on Thursday so I dressed all nice and that. I took this pic before it started in the upstairs loos (my skirt looks so shiny and lush!) but then I found the downstairs loos.....
 Yes to the God-Light!
 So all I need to bring my cheekbones out is a very bright light above my head at all times!

I adore Christmas trees..... more of that to come!

Friday

 Turning a summery dress into a winter dress.......
 .....that basically means wearing it with leggings and a cardi!
 A couple of people recognised the deathly hallows symbol!

Sunday
I didn't really get dressed on Sunday. I had better things to do.

Monday again
 December 1st? Time for velvet!
 Cape back!
 It seems that lots of vintage dresses and skirts have pockets. I approve heartily!
 I fell in love with this weird dress when i saw it on ebay. Had to have it. I was the only bidder..... ridiculous!
 Excellent pattern
Dress size ? - Vintage via ebay
Boots - Yours

Tuesday again
 White denim.... yeah I went there..... I do what I want.
 Yes to my giant Christmas pudding tee!
 I like a good denim skirt. I regret not buying the New Look high-waisted one I saw earlier this year. Might have to have a shufty on Ebay!
I liked the t-shit untucked as well as tucked in, but I like to get my belly out now and again so i went with tucked in the end! 
T-shirt 20 -Primark
Denim skirt 24 - Evans.... well old, bought from ebay years ago!
Leggings XL - H&M

Wednesday again
 I'm getting better at remembering to take pics of my coat action!
One of my readers has had problems with this coat going bobbly and looking ragged, but mine seems fine and I properly love it.
 The outfit underneath......
 As if the kaleidoscope shirt wasn't enough I decided to add holographic boots too!
Shirt 24 - Cut for Evans

Thursday again
 More Christmas joy!
 I love Santa.....

Friday again
 I so love the tiny foxes on my jumper!
 I was well in to this outfit.
 I've been looking at this jumper every time I've been to Primark recently, but I was worried it would be too short for me. It is too short for jeans, but totally acceptable with skirts! I want the orange version too, might have to go back and get it!
 This skirt goes with everything because it's totally ace-of-base.
