I love reading everyones blogs!!!

Just getting ready for the school run then off to work, todays outfit-

RI skinny jeans
New Look tan polo- cut out detail on the front so bit of a 70's look reminds me of my Nanas cardigans when I was little- £1 via Chazza Shop
Trust black boots over jeans
Butterfly pendant - Primark via Chazza Shop £1

Gutted this morning though, the Irregular Choice boots have sold out in my size:( I knew I should have ordered them when I first saw them, have found them on another site but cost more due to P+P:mad:

Have a great day everyone- looks v frosty out there so it'll probably be freezing!!!!!!!

piratefairy

morning all,
the list of things i ought to buy when my challenge is over has begun: i'd like a plain grey cardigan..i did used to own one, and never wore it so it was ebayed lol, but i think it will go on the primark list for the end of the month, as this morning i couldn't find anything to go with the dress i wanted to wear:

peach coloured dress from h&m with tiny heart print and button-front detail, ebay (cant remember how much)
long grey shrug, matalan (present from mum) - think it's too long for this dress!
grey leggings, probably primark
grey boots, peacocks, £30 as i know i have to walk to town at lunch and don't want to make the same mistake as last week (running in heels back to the car!)

loloa, have you tried amazon? they tend to have quite a lot of the irregular choice styles that are sold out in schuh. not sure about P+P costs tho..

Thanks PF, just had a look had the boots but sadly not in my size, need a 6, just double checked the Schuh website and the 5's are showing as in stock now so fingers crossed.

Morning gals....I should mention I flick through all the blogs every now and then, but comment here. I love seeing pictures.

Depressing weather and schedule today: nothing happening, bar feeds for various animals through out the day (I have one do on five small meals a day, the horses on four, then the puppies I act as lunchtime dinner lady to....so staying in rough clothes all day. I'm justhaving a break then going to do an exercise vid ....in the rough clothes, stripping as I get too hot. then pulling them back on. Oh, this chic life I live......

Horrible weather here, but for the first time in weeks I got five hours sleep so I am feeling pretty good.
Going to finish putting my face on then venture up to Tesco for cat food etc.

Wearing:
Velvet leggings: New Look
Nude ruffle sleeve detail slouchy t-shirt dress: Zara (new buy from xmas money)
Heeled black brogues: Debenhams
Grey cardi: Matalan

coat, gloves etc etc.

Then I plan to have a study day whilst I am fairly alert and have concentration!

I'm a vision in monochrome today:

Black leggings - M&S
Grey, black & white missoni style dress - Per Una
Grey cardi with detailing by the buttons - Monsoon
Cream and patent black heeled brogues - New Look
Oddshaped faux silver cocktail ring - Dotty P
Pearl studs and necklace - Bobijou

Perhaps a tad too dressy for work but it's nice to make an effort every once in a while

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit brighter today Daisy. How did the flapjack turn out?

daisybella

I didn't actually do the flapjack in the end I barely had the energy to move. I might do it today, though it is for my mum to take to work so I need to find out which surgery she wants it for (they get treats on rotation) and I'm not sure she is there till next week now!

Shazza, I've just been mooching around looking at various blogs and came across your photography one. Wow! I love those snowy pics If only I had a modicum of your skill, I'm much more of a point and click kinda girl. And judging by the terrible pics I've taken of myself, I'm not even doing that very well at the moment!

I'm still learning and have got a long way to come but I've really enjoyed doing my photo blog.

I have taken the bull by the horns (so to speak) and have set myself up a general one now. The link is in my profile if anyone would like to see - not much there at the moment, just a welcome as am at work but I already know what I'm going to write about today so there should be something in there later

Morning - I made shortbread yesterday, hate the stuff but the little man wanted to cook.

I'm not properly dressed yet as I'm going to pamper myself this morning while little man is at nursery.

I have a fashion q for you all - I have some skinny jeans that are no longer skinny due to my weight loss. They are not stupidly baggy but enough to look wrong if they are tucked into boots. They are still ok around the waist though. So do I...

a - put them on ebay
b - make them into shorts (if so what length)?
c - wear them cropped with pumps in the summer?

daisybella

Make them in to shorts is what I do usually, just above the knee length.

Or wear them turned up a bit with pumps of flat sandals in the summer
