Wardrobe Weekly

 I am currently on my way to Lanzarote so if you're reading this then my first ever scheduled post has worked! Hurrah for the week I had to endure before my hols being a short one!

Tuesday

 I decided that I haven't worn this excelent skirt enough.

 I don't know why it's never occurred to me to wear my plain black top with skirts before!

 I always used to wear plain long sleeved tops, but I think the is the only one I have left.... funny how my old style is coming back round and mixing up with my new style!

 

Top / skirt / leggings 20 & necklace - Primark

Shoes - Asos

 I had mega pink lips but I'm still thinking this lippy is too purple for me!

 I liked the top pulled down too. I'll wear this again for sure!

Wednesday

 Colourful!

Jeans 22 - Asos Curve

Boots - Asos

 I love these jeans. I wore them for the whole day at work and they are basically perfect. I think all women like me with big thighs plus a big round bum and protuberant belly should get a pair. They're mega comfy, super tight on the ankle and the perfect height on the waist. Remember, if you have a big belly get your normal size but if your waist is smaller than your bum & hips then size down!

 I was working in the studio and then went home, but if I'd been going out in the evening I would have worn the shirt like this - the jeans don't hide my double belly, but they shape it up rather nicely!

Thursday

 This is such a good everyday wear dress, it's become my favourite thing to throw on!

I think I am developing a pattern, which is to wear swing dresses on days when I'm in a rush and don't know what to wear! They're so easy to chuck on that it takes the stress out of morning outfit construction!

Bonus... if you want extra cuteness (or day to evening!) just tie up the cardi!

Thursday

IT may not hide my mega belly but I love this comfy midi. Lots of my female colleagues told me how nice this dress was... not so much 'you look amazing' but more of a 'I want a dress like that', so I think the love of stripes is still strong among my ladies.... hope I inspired them!

 Lets just talk about this fabulous dress for a moment. When I saw the 2nd Beth Ditto for Evans preview images, this is the dress I really wanted. It sold out almost instantly so I missed it. I ended up with the rose print tulip dress (so much love for that one!) but despite trying to buy this a few times on ebay, I've never been able to afford to bid high enough to snap one up (and they're RARE!) so when Becky offered me first dibs on hers (which was too big for her) I was SO happy and of course paid up immediately! Was this dress made for me or what?! I love it, and I love Becky for being thinner than me!

Monday

 Quite a few trees were maimed by the crazy winds down my way after the (English come-on-it's-not-exactly-the-end-of-the-world version of a) storm on Sunday, so I thought it might be sensible to wear trousers. It took me AGES to get to work but the sun was shining and for once, I didn't let it bother me!

 I really love my thin primark jumpers. They have become a wardrobe staple! I've really grown to love my black chino's too, I hope they can survive the friction between m y thighs for a long time to come!

Tuesday

 I didn't mean to dress like an extra from Reality bites, but as soon as I put this coat on I was like shit, I need a sash belt for this 'cause it looks odd with a midi! Didn't have time to sort it out or change so I got over it.

 Hopefully the outfit makes more sense without the coat! This is one of the granny skirts I got from our charity shop spree. Love it.

Wednesday

 Wednesday was the night of the Simply Be / Gok Wan drinks party, so I just had to wear my lovely stripped dress. This is Per Una's yearly awesome dress. So comfy and so cool.

 Lets face it, this event wasn't really about Goks undies, it was just a way for simply be to meet some bloggers and for us to hang out together. Getting a photo with Gok was a nice bonus! Look at my awesome acting in this picture taken by (& stolen from) Megan Faye... I've seen all these undies before, but you gotta give good face on these occasions yeah?!

 Another picture stolen from Meg with me (no missing the expanse of white stripes eh?!) the lovely Becky and the dastardly duo Leah & Nikki, who had me in stitches for most of the night!

I talked to Gok about food.... I knew I would, because I loved his program and he inspired me to get a wok (a real one that I seasoned!) and learn how to make pot sticker dumplings! He was lovely, I was sweaty. 

Thursday HALLOWEENNNNN!

 I just wanted to take my new George dress out for a spin on Thursday.... I properly LOVE it! I've had to pin the v-neck because it's a bit loose (probably because this is really a size bigger than I needed!) but I forgot to take my fangs to work! God damn it, I had to eat our fiendish fancies fang-less :(

 It's been a few years since I went to a full-on Halloween party but I thought I'd show you my fangs. I have two pairs of Scarecrow fangs; these natural coloured ones and a pair of gold ones (too cool!).

Scarecrow fangs are custom fit and are pretty easy to use... mix up the putty using the instructions, put the putty in the fang and then put the fang on the tooth and leave it to set. You can then pop them on and off at will. They have such good staying power and look / feel quite natural. I can talk in these really easily!

 Happy Halloween dudes!
