Fashion chat- Dressed up or down??? All welcome!!

Yay, that's good news

I may attempt a smile in my photos today - or perhaps just stick to hiding behind my hair (large and curly today!)

I second the recommendation for New Look shoes. Quite a few of my pairs from there are in the wide fit and they're so so comfy.

Another recommendation for ginger, here! I tend to get nausea when I'm in India and ginger definately helps take the feeling away.

I don't have wide feet (mine are long and thin) but Evans do shoes in a wider fit as do Matalan.

Looking forward to Alex and Queenie's blog posts today - big confident smiles please, lovely ladies!

Morning peeps!

Yay for positive pictures...cant wait to see the blog entries!

Have all 3 kids at home today as we have had further snow overnight and the roads are terrible (Durham council havent gritted round here since November!). We almost had a crash when we couldnt stop down a hill then got stuck and had to take a detour of 20 miles to get home so have decided we are all safer in the house! I dont keep my kids of for just any reason so Im feeling a bit bad about it.

So not much of an outfit today got cropped yoga pants, grey t shirt and a hoodie on with my fluffy ugg style slippers as Im not planning on leaving the house at all today!

Have updated the blog with some recent ebay purchases though....some of my stuff Im selling ends in under half an hour and I have 19 watchers on my River Island dress- eek!

Retro that dress is gorgeous, £75 though wow that's expensive!

I do plan on getting dressed today, unlike my slobby day yesterday! Not sure what's I'm wearing yet though. The snow seems to have cleared so that can only be a good thing.

More stuff sold on ebay it's amazing what people will buy!

I know! I have made it my personal challenge to find a similar version for half the price...not had much luck yet!

I have the opposite problem with shoes - all manufacturers seem to think that if you have size 9 feet they must be wide as well, mine definitely aren't. Fortunately I love boots and flip flops and they both seem to always fit me in an 8.

It's SOOOOOO cold today!

I'm wearing
black flares with heart shaped pockets (Killah via CS)
black vest top (Primark)
black v neck jumper (Next via CS)
long draped black and grey striped cardi (Primark, bought yesterday and it is so grown up looking, I feel it's too old for me which is probably silly considering my age!)
silver and grey scarf (Primark)
black/multi crocheted hat due to bad hair (me made)
black suede moccasin boots (New Look sale)

a friend is trying to talk me into DM boots, I do like them a lot but unsure because of my barge feet, not worn them for years! They are practical though and very non-slippy for this weather...

p.s. what makes you decide to sell such a lovely dress?
