Wardrobe weekly

I've worn some stuff that I really love this week...
 Respectable lady dress 22 - Marks and Spencers via ebay
'lady' shoes - Crocs

 I want to wear this jacket all the time
 Jacket 22 - Dorothy Perkins
T-shirt 22 - Asos Curve
Chinos 24 - Yours
shoes - Primark

 Love it soooo much!
Haven't worn this ring for ages, but it's an old favourite from Dorothy Perkins. It's like a snowflake...
 ...under a window!

 Jacket 22 - New Look Inspire
Dress 20 - Asos Curve
Leggings 18 - Primark
Flip flops - Ipanema

 I added my rabbit earrings from Forever 21 & my super sparkly bracelet from our Costa Brava holiday last year.
 How have I only just discovered this stuff. I hate beer and cider messes my head up so I'm stoked to find something I can drink by the pint!
 I think this simple outfit might be one of the favourites I've worn in ages.
 Thing is it's technically highly unflattering because it doesn't hide any of my lumps - My arms are out, I've got no shape-wear on so I jiggle about like mad...
.... the back of the skirt is right under my lovehandles so my back fat is highly visable (also because my bra is a bit worse for wear and has started to roll up!) and my big old double belly is out on display, particually from the side. DON'T CARE! I loved this outfit and felt fucking fabulous in it!
 Red nails, red lips, a red diamonte cherry necklace & a vintage bracelet topped it off.
 T-shirt 20 / Skirt 20 / necklace / shoes - Primark

Primark has loads of these excellent t-shirts in all different colours (post coming up with my Primark haul soon!). I had a few funny looks in this (dunno if that was because it was so in-your-face and bright, because I looked like a porker in tight clothes, or because people were just trying to read my skirt!), but I also had loads of compliments and lots of women wanted to know where my skirt was from. Primark has been the best place to get pop-art clothes, and most of the pieces can stretch to plus sized arses!
 Out and about on Saturday for some free London fun. God I adore London, I'm so fucking lucky to live here. Can I just tell you how much I love this dress? This in-between summery weather suited it down to the ground. I felt super sexy and (dare I say it?!) young in this outfit. My boyfriend liked my boobs in this, which is normally a good sign that it's quite flattering. Mind you he does like it when I dress like a chav & I had pumps and huge hoop earrings on so that might be it!
 The classy version of an alcopop! Still tastes like sweeties though.
 Such a beautiful night on the south bank!
 Gilles Peterson getting worldwide funky. It's so nice to see a proper DJ who plays interesting music... we had a proper bop!
 OXO-tastic.
 French hip hop ahoy!
 "He's mixing Coltrane into it!" says Jazzy boy with glee!
 Shaking it!
 It felt like we were on Holiday, such a beautiful night!
London at night is so wonderful!
 Joy! Plus we were home by 11pm - it was a perfect old persons night out. I'm talking about my old ass here... my boy is younger and very capable of staying out WAY past 11!
 Jacket 22 - New Look Inspire
Dress 26 - Ebay (also available on AX Paris, size up if you wanna breath in it!)
Leggings 22 - New Look Inspire 
Massive gold plated hoop earrings - Silvershake (best hoops ever!)
Shoes - H&M

Dress 24 - New Look Inspire
This old dress is one of my absolute favourites for my 'I can't be arsed' days!
Both of us were beaten by cake today! I just can't choose a fruity cake when there's something chocolatey on offer, but they're nearly always too rich & too dark for me. I never learn! Massively regret passing up the orange tiramisu cake; bet I would have managed a whole slice of that. The boyfriend is under strict instructions to remind me of this fact the next time we go to a cake stall!
Next week I'm going to try to make up for the outrageous amount of eating out and take always we have had recently... thank god for the £1 a bowl fruit & veg chaps!

Pop Art

One of the perks of my job is that I sometimes get to go to exhibitions early in the morning before the museum / gallery opens. Today I went to Tate modern to see the Lichtenstein exhibition. A lovely day for it! I wore my new pop art dress from new look inspire (sadly sold out now) with my super molded Crocs (here in silver or brown) and although you can't see it here, a red mac - first spring jacket I've worn this year, hooray!

This being the Tate and all, they of course had some great merchandise for this exhibition including books, cushions & even beer with Lichtenstein prints on. Of course I'm more interested in clothes and accessories!
A £50 silk scarf for the discerning pop art fan...
A £25 t-shirt for the funky monkey (I'm already regretting not buying this, might have to make an online purchase!)....

A £12.50 shopper for the cool kids. I wanted to spend lots of money but had to get back to work! Check out the Tate's special Lichtenstein page here if you want to buy anything.

Already thinking about what to wear to Bowie next week!
