Hi everyone,

hope you don't mind me joining the thread, i've been lurking about in the background but just thought i'd say that you've all served as a bit of an inspriration to me clothes wise recently, what with all your various blogs and things, and especially Goanmad with your car boot/charity shop finds (I actually ventured into one today and found a few nice bits).

But anyway, as my first official 'what i'm wearing' post, here goes...
White plimsoles - £2 primark
Long Leggings - £8 tall range New Look
Long stripey t-shirt - £8 New Look
denim jacket - around £12 Primark
Royal blue pashmina - present
Mary Poppins stylee carpet bag (for all my uni junk!) - £8 Ebay
Bit random I know - going for the "interesting" history student look!

O one last thing - Piratefairy how do I get on your blog? I can't find it the usual way (clicking on user name)

I love the sound of the Mary Poppins bag.

**confuzzled**

Seeing someone else come out of lurkdom has encouraged me to big and brave too:o
I have absolutely no idea about fashion and tend to stick to the same things(boring stuff!) and I'm hoping that you guys can help point me in the right direction:o I need to start by clearing my wardrobe of the tatt, and I bet theres a fair bit of it:rolleyes: And my underwear.......well shall we just say I better not get knocked over anytime soon:p:o:rotfl:It must be bad coz even my DH has commented on it:eek::o
So my aim is to create a capsule wardrobe:eek: With your help of course:D And try and look stylish even when I'm slobbing at home...maybe;):)

Heres my 1st 'What I'm wearing' post..I can tell you now, it will very rarely have a designer name and will mostly be approx 1yr+ old:o:o
Black heels - Deichmanns £10
Black trousers - M&S £10
White blouse top - Next £15
Chunky Black Belt - came with a red dress from MarkOne
White Gold hopp earrings - xmas pressie from DH
Red/Black checked 3/4 sleeved jacket - Primark £15 a year ago
I've gone for the 'pale & interesting' look with make-up(got up late:o)

God I hope I'm not a lost cause!!!

Oh and I'm 25, dunno why I wanted to put that, just thought it was relevant for some reason

I love the sound of the Mary Poppins bag.

It literally is like her bag - I try searching for something in it and go up to my shoulder! :rotfl:

I adore carpet bags, I've always wanted one, someone I adord when I was little had one and I just worshipped her, so thought it was the last word in bags.

Oh, I want one!

Ebay had quite a few when I was looking for mine..some were going for ridiculous prices mind you

Afternoon all!

Apologies for my shoddy late reply, today has been insanely busy with lots of meetings and suchlike, so today's 'I mean business' outfit is:

- Black V neck three quarter sleeve jumper over white shirt insert with black stripes (Next)
- Black tie (my old school tie) stuffed down between jumper and shirt insert
- Black straight leg pinstripe trousers (Dorothy Perkins)
- Black lace up men's style brogues (New Look)

Hope everyone's having a good Tuesday!
