Morning all, cold here but no sign of the heavy snow we were forecast
Hopefully means I can get out and about later today, I hate being stuck inside, the only time I managed to go more than one day was when I had swine flu, and then I was too ill to care

Unsure what to wear as yet, really just popped on here because I promised someone a vegetable and chickpea soup recipe, and have forgotten who

I sell bits and pieces to friends and family but I'd like to try and sell a bit more, I signed up for folksy, but need to upload some pics and stuff! I love seeing other peoples jewellery too

Today I've gone for summeryness!

I've got a 3/4 sleeve white scoopneck under a summery white blouse
Long beige asymetrical (sorry I cant spell!) cord skirt
over black leggings and my trusty evans knee length boots.

I don't have any me jewellery on today, just a hematite ring and silver bangle.

I'm lovely and toasty warm, but look a bit more summery so its win win!

and me but don't tell my husband!

I am still in pj's because I couldn't decide what to wear.

I only have to go to the post office today so I can wear what I want. I fancy heels today though as the snow has gone. So I will choose footwear first and then the rest of my outfit!:rotfl:

My little Fiesta is fearless in the snow!

My little 15-year-old Micra is the same - not a peep out of him in all this weather whilst all the posh rear wheel drives are getting stuck on hills!

Hello :hello: - I've been a bit of a lurker for a while and would like to join in if you'll have me - in an effort to give myself some incentive to stop being a scruff and make some effort on a morning (I think some of this has to do with getting out of the school geek mindset and feel like it's OK for me to look nice ), and to try and be a bit more adventurous when buying new clothes.

So today I'm at work and wearing:

- Black vest and black jumper (H&M)
- Black and grey vertical stripe wool skirt (Oasis sale years ago)
- Thick black tights (Tesco)
- Patent grey Mary Janes (I'm almost 6ft and have lived in flats for years, trying to get into heels tho and embrace the Amazonian in me) (Barratts sale last week)
- Long grey belted cardi with snowflake pattern (New Look)
- Fossil brown leather watch, antique silver and green amber ring, Grandma's silver locket and black plastic beads from a tiny second hand jewellery shop in Bath (10p!)

For outside:
- Grey coat (Vila)
- Long chunky navy scarf (River Island sale)
- Grey leather 'driving' gloves (Gap sale)
- Rocket Dog wellies with red and gold socks

So I've made a good effort with the skirt and heels , but I'm still very black/grey

Tete- welcome nothing wrong with black/grey! I seem to live in it right now

Outfit:
Thermal cami: uniqlo
Black fine knit long sleeve top: asda
Grey/silver bubble hem jersey dress: la redoute, ancient and somewhat neglected at the back of my wardrobe
Black thermal tights: tesco (must get more of these)
Black chunky long line cardigan: new look, swapped with mum for my identical brown one!

Gloves, snood, hat, hot pink coat and wellies will be added when I go out.

Thanks Daisy - here's looking forward to that long hot summer they're (already) promising us!

I feel funny wearing heels in work, I feel like I'm strutting rather than walking everywhere, and have an exaggerated bum-wiggle!

Oh, I'm the opposite, Tete, I can't stand wearing flat shoes - that's the only thing i really dn't like about the recent weather, heels just aren't practical..

What's a snood?

Ok, have gone for casual student today:
Cream tee with flowers on (Gap)
Blue bootleg jeans (Primark - and they're falling down)
Black fleece
Robot socks
My watch and thin silver chain I always wear

For the outside: my etnies and my Trespass jacket
