Morning all, and well done Alex!

Bronnie - stuff like that always happens at the worst time doesn't it? At least you have a launderette I suppose...

I'm in work again today, and today's outfit is:

- Red scoop neck and scoop back three quarter sleeve top (Dorothy Perkins)
- Black pinstripe straight leg trousers (Dorothy Perkins)
- Cream quilted ballet pumps with black patent toe (New Look)
- White trainers (Vans) to come into work as our car park is still like an ice rink
- Black wool flared military style jacket (New Look) to come into work
- Multicoloured stripey wool scarf, beanie hat and mittens (Accessorize) to come into work
- Brown leather handbag (21st birthday present from parents)
- Usual jewellery (birthday/Christmas/graduation presents from parents and boyfriend)

Hair is straightened and left loose, nail polish is Nails Inc Victoria and perfume is Marc Jacobs Daisy.

In work until five, then home to work out and watch University Challenge. I also need to book somewhere to stay for next weekend as I'm going to Manchester to see Anton and Erin from Strictly, and am currently dithering between the youth hostel and the Travelodge...

Happy Monday everyone!

Min, I hate Travelodges so I'd say youth hostel all the way! I'm in Manchester next weekend to see the Strictly live show

Work is cold! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *shivers*

Outfit for today is:

Kingfisher tights (well they're called kingfisher but they're more green than blue) - M&S
several pairs of socks
Black leggings - Evans
Black slash neck long sleeved top - Dotty P's
Teal cableknit sweater dress - Dotty P's
Pearl studs - Accessorize
Turquoise letter "a" necklace - Sunday Girl Accessories

To travel in - black duffle jacket, stripy earmuffs and gloves, teal knitted scarf, walking boots

And I've got some short black fake ugg boot type things on now to keep my feet cosy in the office. It's not working though, I'm so cold

Black oversized cotton Newcastle Falcons rugby shirt (£47.88 from the club website)

Black cardigan - Primark
Black riding boots - New Look

Snow is starting to melt here but Mr Weatherman says heavy snow for tomorrow. Hope you are all keeping warm!

Mariel

It's so annoying - the snow is melting but also falling faster than it can melt! Still at least it is warmer now.
I'm not going far today, in fact the school run and that's it!

black maxi skirt with sparkly black thread (New Look sale about 5 years ago)
black leggings (Primark)
black polo neck (CS)
black multi stripy jumper (DP via CS)
glittery resin pendant with winged heart (isewcute on Etsy)
stripy snuggle socks with black multi spotty wellies when I go out.

Mariel, likewise, a lot of what's on the ground has melted but we have more falling now and heavy snow due tomorrow, feels a bit warmer though..but then, I'm not venturing out!

piratefairy

it's a lot warmer here too, not sure if i'm pleased or not, as it seems everyone has ventured out in the cars and then are driving like idiotS! anyway, rant over, all that talk of soup has made me want to make some this week, although eating at a freinds' tonight before my first guides meeting back after xmas (haven't decded what to do with them yet)..

Hi all you gorgeous fashionistas!
I hope noone minds if I join in here, I've been a long term lurker/reader on MSE and I love the idea of talking about the outfits I put together. I've made myself a challenge of not spending more than £100 on clothes and accessories this year, and want to start exploring my style a little more!

So, I'm a plus size girlie, I make my own jewellery, and hopefully this will help with the spending! Today I am in:

grey trousers with a slight pinstripe (not sure of make or where I got them!)
DC trainers (comfort and safety over style!)
purple 3/4 length sleeve scoop neck tshirt (dotty p's)
grey waistcoat (don't know make or where from, different but similar to trousers)
have silver and lilac ring (not made by me)
and lilac and silver lined beaded bracelet (handmade by me)

Erm, yea, so thats me!
