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

Link isn't working? Can you pm your photo one too please.

Ooooh I love a nice bit of shortbread Caroline

Personally I'd probably make them into crops but probably not the best person to ask seeing as I have never owned a pair of jeans in my life and I never wear shorts!

Morning all! Not dressed as yet as I've been busy on eBay so nothing significant to report.

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?

Chop 'em off a couple of inches below the knee, create a .5inch turn-up and tack into place - perfect under too short dresses for the summer

Done - and I think I've fixed the link now too. You can also get to my photographic one through my profile on my blog as there is a link there

OOoh I like Goan's idea.
I'm having nightmares with ebay this morning, trying to list my watch but it keeps getting stuck on the "is this genuine!?!" page - grrrrrrrrrrr of course it bl***y is lol!

FS, your link isn't working for me either, but I had thought it was just my internet connection this morning..

It's working now Sharon - fab photos! You're only down the road from me. I didn't realise.

I think I will 'short' one pair of jeans and crop another. I have loads :S

Somewhat revised my outfit as upon reviewing photos my velvet leggings are a bit too big and not flattering with an oversized dress.

So, leggings swapped for lavender tights, and dress is belted. Leggings put away for wearing with either more fitted things, or for when I gain some weight back...I'm far too in love with them to return them and I won't be stuck like this forever

Morning ladies,

Today I am wearing: It's a layer day because it's FREEZING

H&M khaki vest with sequin embellishment (£3 in sale)
Black v neck long sleeved top from Mexx (£2 in clearance section)
Beige 3/4 length cardi from TK Maxx (£11.99)
Brown leather waist belt (Freebie from women I used to work with)
Diesel Jeans (£3.99 from chairty shop)
Brown Office cowboy boots (£5 from charity shop)
Reddy/brown chunky beads (not sure where from poss Primark)
2 Wooden bangles (Freebie with avon order about 5 years ago!)

Not the most exciting but its about layering and being comfortable in front of the computer at uni

Pics will go up on blog later, they not very good because they were taken on my camera phone, but planning to buy new batteries for camera today.

Hope you're all having a lovely day. I plan to stay away from the shops and get on with writing my essay!

Realised in my excitement about succumbing to the peer pressure that I forgot to put todays outfit It isn't that exciting anyway!

Black V Neck Jumper - Marks & Spencer
Black trousers - unsure
Black stiletto boots - *blush* they haven't quite made it to the bin yet as need to find suitable comfy replacements!

Hair up (unusually) with a white double lily flower adornment.

Rather plain ensemble today.
