Wardrobe Weekly

Busy busy busy! I almost forgot to post this what with one thing and another, but here is my week, all full of spring 'I just booked a holiday' joy!

Monday
Polka dots and floral? This dress is always a winner!
Dress 22 - Asos Curve
Leggings 20 - Primark
Shoes - Asos

Tuesday
 I had wondered if I was silly to keep this dress. I had to size up to a 26 because of the odd shape, but I liked it enough to persevere, and I'm really glad I did!
 I think I have decided that I like the dress loose and unbelted when I have my hair up, but nipped in with a belt when I have my hair down. It just makes me really happy!
Dress 26 - Asos Curve
Belt - forever 21+ (from jumpsuit!)
Leggings 22 - Very
Shoes - Asos

Wednesday
 I keep forgetting about my Swan combo.... it's because it lives in my spare room wardrobe, and everytime I decided to wear it to work I then woke up in a fuzz and just put on a dress. Out of sight out of mind and all that. This time I took it out of the spare room and hung it in my bedroom. Lovely!
Top & skirt 22 - Clem' Rib' Swan for Evans
Leggings 20 - Primark

Thursday
 I told you I would wear them to work. Roar! I had a particularly fun day as I took my friend to Forever 21 to shop for some cheap and cheerful honeymoon... totally new things for her, some cigarette and cuffed trousers, and my other office buddy finally tried a jumpsuit (I've been trying to get her in one for AGES!) A very joyful lunchtime. I didn't buy anything, they don't stock the clothes for fatties at the Bond street branch!.

I've got a lot of wear out of these Primark earrings, they're big but light!

Friday
 I love this dress, but more importantly I love these shoes! I wore them to work and they were SO comfy! they are such a good wide fit. I really recommend them very highly! I actually went to Primark tonight to get some things I need for my friends wedding & my holiday on the cheap (post coming up asap) using the money I made from my ebay sales, and I got the electric blue version too. I know I'll wear them, so for £8 it's totally worth it!

Sunday
 I had a lovely day on Saturday.... I watched films in bed and relaxed and ate guacamole. I had Sunday down as my chores day, but then I got a text from a friend who wanted to hang out in the park and feel a bit of sun on his "pale ginger face"! I couldn't say no could I?! Chore shmores!
I maxi is perfect for mild weather. Originally I had on flip flops, but when I checked the weather I had to accept that 17 degrees with a bit of a cold breeze was not hot enough for bare legs or feet, so I changed into some cute flats instead..... thank goodness, I would have frozen every time the sun went behind a cloud otherwise!
Oh yeah, and some mega cheesy sunnies from Primark. mirrors in a mirror.

Tuesday
 I was off on Monday, and I was knackered on Tuesday, so I tried to cheer myself up by wearing a bright red dress. Always a good mood booster I feel!
Dress 22 - Marks & Spencers
Cardi 20 & tights XL - Primark
Loafers - New Look

Wednesday
 I love my new jeggings from Dorothy Perkins, the comfiest denim I've found in ages!
Jumper 20 - Primark

Thursday
 This was in my list of things to sell, but I just kept looking at the print and thinking about how much I loved it, so I tried it on again and was like... errr... I'm so not selling this dress, it's awesome!
 Dress 22 - Vintage
Tights XL - Primark 100 den
Shoe boots - Asos
I like it like this too, so next time I wear it I might unbutton and add a belt!

Friday
 I can do smart yeah?! I had one of our Trustees visit me on Friday, so I went a bit smart!
 Jacket 22 - Marks and Spencers Per Una
Dress 24 - Anna Scholz White Label
Leggings 20 & boots - Primark
 I actually put my hair up before she arrived because I didn't want it getting in my face while I was with her!
 So that was my morning, then my afternoon was spent frolicking round Shoreditch and spending £100 (madness I know, but couldn't help myself!) at the Tracey Neuls sample sale. I don't really care much about designer shoes because you so often pay huge amounts of money for shoes that wreck your feet and aren't suitable for everyday wear.... fuck that! The reason I adore Tracey Neuls (apart from the unusual designs) is that I can wear her shoes to work without being crippled, which I think is important!
I love these 'Peg' shoes, even more so because there were only a few of the blue version made, the ones on the site are burgundy, and I have loads of shoes in that colour... these are more interesting! They're very comfortable, and I reason that £100 for soft leather, well made shoes with comfortable springy soles is a decent enough investment!

 Another big hat (TKMaxx!)
 I love London at this time of year!
 Wearing Beauty UK 'cafe culture' nail polish which is the most delicious nude ever because my nails were quite long for me.... I've since bitten them off because I just can't do anything properly when I have nails!
 I keep a cardi in my office at work because the temperature at work fluctuates so much! Perfect for wintering up my summery dresses!

DECEMBER 1st at last! I didn't bother taking pictures of myself because I was too busy getting excited about giving my flat it's Christmas makeover!
 So much tinsel and so many lights! The kitchen is my little cave.....
Living room is my christmas grotto!.....
 There are stickers on our bedroom door.....
 And stickers on my kitchen window!
 
Our flat has changed a tiny bit since last Christmas so I couldn't put the tree near the TV like last year and it made me sad to have no tree to look at so I bunged a tree ornament in the record player to sooth me!
 
 Tree of joy!
 Some awesome decs!
 And some more awesome decs!
And lets not forget the mini tree in the bedroom!

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!
