Afternoon gang!

It's absolutely peeing it down here after a promising start. I've been up since the crack of dawn despite a night of excess and am looking forward to The Editors gig this evening :j.
Been on a very mundane trip to B&Q this morning and like Bronnie, I've gotta knuckle down this afternoon as I've a few trips planned for this week due to my teacher pals having half-term holidays.

Today's Outfit:

Black skinny River Island jeans (Car boot 50p)
Primark black mini dress with a cream lace trim (Charity shop £1.95)
Vintage trapeze wool cardi in grey, brown and dusky pink zig zags (20p car boot)
Tan leather belt with silver snarling tiger buckle worn over the top (Jumble sale 10p)
Vintage black leather high-heel knee boots (Car Boot £2)
Black over-the-body leather saddle bag (Car boot 50p)
Black and silver chandellier earrings (Morocco)
Silver tribal bangles and rings (India)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Oh Goan, SO jealous of you seeing the Editors, I LOVE them. I've seen them three times in Bristol, but the last time was two years ago now. Have a great time!

It's my third time, too! They've really matured and increased in confidence over the last couple of years. Wonder if I'll spot Edith?

Hi, todays outfit was nothing special.

Jeans (Next - £20 so many years ago)
Black 3/4 top (H&M - £4.99)
Black Dolly Shoes (Shoe Zone - £9.99)

Need to get out of my style rut and try something new!!
But then its all about confidence though ... which I don't have!

Although!! I went to the Girls Day Out show in Glasgow SECC today and 'modelled' for Fake Bake (in other words I was a guinea pig!) This involved standing in a bikini (showing off my mummy tummy :rolleyes:) to quite a few people! Quite impressed I didn't bottle it!

Hey party people!
Tonight we're going into town, possibly a quiz and to walkabout to watch a film on their big screen (free entry yay!) So my outfit is:
New Black studded fake leather skirt from matalan (the one in my previous post, its so amazing and I couldn't resist!) £16
Corset style ditsy print top (Topshop via ebay £2 and ) saw this in the Topshop sale and its still £15!
Black tuxedo blazer style cardi (Topshop via ebay £5)
Not sure on shoes yet, either gonna be ankle boots or tights and over knee boots
Oh and my hair's curled and in a half up bardot style. Hope you're all having a great weekend like me, its been great, on friday we went to the Bouncer's Ball (its a Newquay thing for locals and everyone gets dressed up smart for it)
I wore a floral print black bodycon dress (with magic knickers) from Topshop (via ebay £14)
and Grey gucci rip off heels with triple buckles (Matalan £14) was an awesome night and had to spe nd the whole of yesterday recovering from it! xxxx

I'm SO tired! Was out dancing 'til 2.30am and didn't sleep 'til 3.40am as we decided to do a bit more dancing (in pjs this time) back at the flat! Ugh. Thank goodness for Sundays!

I've just updated my blog with last night and today's outfits, but here's a recap of today's:

Purple wool jumper dress
Wine coloured tights
Black suede pixie boots
Black belt with gold buckle
Gold nameplate necklace

It's so dark and snuggly now, I absolutely adore this time of year. I know many of you are sun seekers (I'm thinking of Goanmad especially!) but I'm a real winter girl. Thinking about doing a blog post around this later, as I think some people are completely suited to certain seasons and this is reflected in their clothing throughout the year.

I'm flagging and have been in PJs since 5pm!
Hate early starts, especially pre-dawn early.

I need to check out my wardrobe options for tomorrow, as have doctors in the morning and need as little as possible for various checks, whilst staying warm.

GG, off to check your blog now...

Hope it goes well daisybella. Warm socks, rather than tights, usually get to stay on, nd if your feet are warm life is somehow bearable!

daisybella

Thanks lovely,
I think I have it sorted, though sat in PJs at the moment and really ought to be getting a move on

Black blazer/tux style jacket: New Look

Most black I have worn in aggggggggges, but the skirt pattern is so bold, I wanted to let it really stand out and do the talking.
