    Lost- Purple sounds lovely, I love heeled brogue type shoes, I bought some gorgeous leather black ones in the Debenhams sale three years ago and will probably still be wearing them in twenty years!

    Caroline- *hugs and get well vibes* being sent to your little niece :(
    I'm glad your voucher came though, I hope you enjoy spending it

    They are lovely....just, don't suit my feet I think. I also had to go a size up in them...

    caroline, the scary thing with little ones is how quickly they go up and down. She's in the best place and sounds as if she's a little fighter. :)

    My plan is start adding some quirkiness bit by bit and people may not notice as much ;)

    Its a good plan. I'm quite confident and look VERY different while doing the animals than when done up...but even I feel a little uncomfortable when people comment on it.

    Its also a good way to ease in to chic/quirky. i.e. quirky earrings, bright nails and all black outfit...safe but stylish, as is very plan outfit and crazy shoes and bag. Its important to feel comfortable (not necessarily for your clothes to be comfortable, though, just your mind!) and yourself IMO.

    Yep, gorgeous but far too expensive! I had some antique green ones from Matalan a couple of years ago for about a tenner and wore them to death.

    I might start blogging when i'm feeling better with myself. Though i'm not very exciting! I think I look quite nice in the mirror but usually the pictures say otherwise, maybe I need a new camera? haha

    Will be putting lots of things on ebay next wednesday: size 5 shoes and size 8/10 clothes mainly. :) Having a few problems on ebay atm, been called a "thief and a liar" which is pretty uncalled for.

    Today is another lazy day. Just wearing blue jeggings and primark 3/4 sleeve white top with red stripes. My matching underwear is making me feel better though, hehe :)

    I've got the green ones too, haven't worn them all that much, but then, I do have far too many pairs of shoes.

    Today's 'domestic slattern' outfit:

    Stripey pink and black socks
    White cotton unhemmed workout trousers
    Coral pink puff hem workout sweater (La Redoute)

    All terribly unflattering, but then I am on a cleaning up mission today so will shower and make myself look pretty later.

    LOL - That's one thing I have never been able to cope with, even if I buy a matching set, they don't get worn together..

    I have a mother obsessed with matching underwear, so I never wear it just to annoy her ;)

    Who was it who wanted the Ark necklace? The last buyer backed out, and as I'm heading to the post office tomorrow, I thought I'd check if anyone wants it.
