Fashion chat- Dressed up or down??? All welcome!!

I haven´t posets on here for aaaages but I have lurked and loved your outfits. I haven´t posted because I have been wearing the same tired boring worn to death summer clothes for months now and didn´t want to bore you all. Today the temperature has dropped, hurrah so into autumn clothes at last. Today I am wearing

white vest - Zara
blue indigo jeans - Hula at New Look
Dark fuschia cardi - Monsoon
Chunky wooden necklace, fuschia colours - Topshop
Dark fuschia "Henderson Fizz" pumps that are HALF PRICE now in black matte and black patent on the Clarks website and I thoroughly recommend them as I have worn my fuschia ones more than any shoes I have ever owned and they show no signs of wearing down or looking worn (and I am heavy on my feet) Needless to say that I have ordered the black patent ones to my mum´s house in the UK.

Its quite sunny here believe it or not!!! :rolleyes:

Have been to Tesco earlier and we're going out to OH's mum's in a bit then for a drink. OH is on strike so he's moping round the house getting under my feet :rolleyes: :rotfl: It feels very strange to have him here on a weekday!

Today's outfit is a bit 'different' for me - felt like a change!

Black ribbed vest top - £3 George @ Asda
Pale brown cotton cardigan with crochet trim and tie front - Evans originally but free from step-MIL's friend
Chocolate brown jeans (Bon Marche but Xmas gift from my mum ages ago - they are very forgiving and very comfy! They look nice too... my mum has excellent taste!!)
White ankle socks (Asda, think they cost about £1 for 5 pairs but they are very old!)
Tan furry-lined boots with lace-up detail (Primark, Xmas gift from mum last year)
Perfume is Ted Baker W... and shock horror I have accessories today! :rotfl:

Pearl stretchy hairband (£5 Daisy and Eve @ Evans, wrapped around my ponytail)
Gold Celtic cross on chain (£15, Argos - Valentine's Day gift from OH)
Wide leather bracelet with bead detailing (Gift from my mum from Kenya)
Plus my silver link bracelet with heart detail (Birthday pressie from mum last year)
And my silver eternity-style ring.
Phew! Hope everyones had a good day! xx

Mrs_Ryan, Just being nosy really;), I've looked at your sig and I'm really bewildered care to enlighten me?:)

Good evening stylish ladies. Glowgirl, just wanted to say I completely agree with your post about Ugg boots - life would be dull if we all followed advice from the fashion houses! I was just trying to make the point that many see them as unfashionable but I don't really care as like you, I'm a big fan! And I bet you rock the Uggs and trackies look with style!

No outfit shot tonight as bf is working late yet again. However, I'm gonna take the fur/animal skin debate over to my blog and write about my thoughts on the matter. Just about to get started so will be updating in an hour or so. Today I wore:

Yellow, purple and red bird print dress
Purple cardi
Purple tights
Black patent pumps with gold detail
Long gold hoop necklace
Cream mac
Purple and gold floral print scarf

TGIF tomorrow!

Hey you guys ( I'm channeling Sloth (or was it Chunk?) today, if you've seen The Goonies you'll get the reference either way).
Today was curious weather, which I was as always unprepared for, it was amazingly sunny when I went to meet a friend for lunch and then started drizzling, but on the plus we cadged a lift home and I saw the best, most perfect and complete rainbow I have ever seen, which made my day!

Anyway, today was:
Grey and white striped shirred T Shirt dress (Tdopshop via ebay £12)
Grey boyfriend cardi (was cream but I dyed it, Topshop sale £5)
Snakeskin print skinny belt (Topshop sale £3)
Charcoal fringed ankle boots folded over to make my legs look longer (Topshop sale £25)

So an all Topshop outfit today, sometimes I feel pretty unadventurous in my shop choices but I just lo ve their stuff the most and always seem dissappointed when I venture elsewhere, however matalan does seem to be getting more gems in lately, I am lusting after this skirt:

http://www.matalan.co.uk/fcp/product/fashion-to-buy-online/Skirts/Gold-studded-PU-mini-skirt/9559&resultsPerPage=100&attrList=Dept,brand

and may have to buy it tomorrow!

I had a small victory today I just have to share with someone:
I met up with an old friend from school today, I've seen her a few times since then (I'm 22 now) but I had probably never seen her fiance since then until today when he turned up to give us a lift. I was kinda an ugly duckling at school and much bigger than I am now and he was kinda one of the people that thought he was better than me at school IYSWIM.

Anyway my friend had asked him for a lift on the phone and he asked who I was, and she'd said "Oh you know so and so from school" and he'd obviously got a rather unflattering mental picture in his head from then, which I don't really fit anymore (thank God).

Anyway when he turned up the look on his face said it all really, I don't think until I was actually getting into his car did he realise that I was the right person! A small victory but made me so happy!

Hope you're all having a great day xxxx
