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!

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.

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!

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 :(

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!
