I'll be fine, my asos order just turned up so that is a nice distraction and both parents are home so can make me lots of mugs of tea

Hope it stops hurting soon DB, just remember it will all be worth it in the end. I had braces for 5 years, and gave up with them in the end as they never really worked. Wish I had stuck with it as I still really hate my teeth.

My internet at home has been rubbish the past few days so havent had chance to update my blog or here much. Will do a big update tonight though!

Caroline73, will be sure to have a peek at your blog later, love having a nose at other peoples wardrobes!

The weekend outfits consisted mainly of 'house clothes' - leggings, long cardies and slippers! Had a nice lazy weekend, was good to do nothing much!

Yesterday I wore
red checked strapless dress, Bershka
black tshirt under, H&M
black leggings, H&M
Grey cardigan, H&M
Flat black riding boots, New Look

Today I am wearing
black leggings, H&M
white vest top, Primark
oversize leopard print tshirt, H&M
red boyfriend cardie, Primark
suede slouch boots, thrifted from my mum

Hope everyone wasnt to down yesterday, things can only get better, and soon Spring will be here!

Morning - just got up, I was on night shift last night (setting up the blog too, hee hee) It's on my profile if anyone wants to nose.

@Daisybella - Hope your mouth feels better soon and thanks for your comments...That made my day!

@tete en L'air - I never usually wear my hair up unless I need to. 15 years of nursing on wards meant I had to wear my hair up and I got bored of that and loads of broken hair from the band - I'm sure Mrs ryan understands. the dress had a tie detail across the shoulder blades and the way my hair sat was wrong when it was down.

Blogging really makes you think about outfits. Today I have gone for a grey 'puffed' top with flower detail to the neckline with black jeans, and black boots. I'm wearing my long pearls around my neck 3 times and a black carved bangle.

My Links bracelet arrived today but I was already dressed and I needed big bracelet so haven't put it on.

Phew! What a lovely welcome back....thanks girls!

Hope everyone's keeping well on this gloomy tuesday afternoon.
Poor you Daisy, I can sympathise - had braces on both top and bottom teeth a lifetime ago and I can remember the pain to this day. I had to suffer the indignity of wires that slotted into the top plate and attached to a collar worn around the neck - it halved the time I had to wear my braces but I looked like Hannibal Lecter. :eek:

Goan - I love that blouse!! Was it a recent purchase that I could copy?

Tete en l'Air - the blouse was purchased in the summer but they had some on the sale rail last time in was in DP's (early December) and they also had a shift dress in the same print but sadly only size 18s left - boo!

Caroline - lovin' the blog and have become a follower, you're beautiful.

Today's outfit (just updated on the blog):
Purple paisley puddy-bow mini dress with bubble hem (eBay)
Purple opaques worn beneath black lace tights
Vintage purple knee-high boots (Chazza shop)
Silver tribal bangles, rings and earrings (India)
Black crochet waistcoat (River Island sale buy)

Have a lovely rest of the day gang!

daisybella

this is my fifth set of braces...well not a set this time, just top teeth. I'd forgotten what a strange sensation it is.

oh well, 2/3 appts done this week, just bloods and ecg tomorrow!
