    Thankfully here, whoever was up before me left the heating on low so I didn't freeze while eating my breakfast.

    Off to the doctors for me this morning, fun times :rolleyes:

    Navy shirt dress with navy and gold studded belt: £5 Primark
    Bottle green tights: 50p Primark
    Dark grey cardigan: £14 Peacocks, I think
    Grey suede ankle boots: ancient from New Look
    Blue/Green/Brown check detail coat: Debenhams, ages ago
    Beige chunky wool scarf: £3.50 Primark
    Fingerless chunky knit gloves: Accessorize
    Chunky black leather strap watch, the dial says I love you!: D&G, 21st birthday present...most expensive thing I own

    Lets hope I don't freeze! I hate being cold, I would wear more layers, but will be getting blood pressure checked and I'm too lazy to peel them all off :rotfl:

    pirate fairy, me too. Got in late last night, and my eye were so swollen driving DH to station this morning.

    Its so cold.....brrr. I didn't realise when I got dressed this morning an am very inadaquately dressed. this week is probably going to be spent mainly in jeans, which I find depressing and unimaginative.

    Hi, hope you are all well despite the miserable "Summer is totally over" weather.

    Today I have (gasp) taken off the jeggings! I'm wearing:

    Purple leggings (Sainsburys £3.75 as had 25% off in the weekend)
    Grey slouchy boots
    My husbands Grey Billabong T-shirt (has tribally design down one side in black and white but is honestly quite tasteful) Was a present from my parents, so it's technically mine anyway!
    Multi grey black white wool long cardi.
    Charm bracelet, small silver stud earrings and long clock necklace with tiny black stones, Wedding rings

    Wondering about raiding DH wardrobe to see what else I can borrow, he's 6"9 and skinny so his T-shirts are nice and long but not too wide so look tunic like on me. I might take the necks and sleeves off some of his old ones so they look better.

    Afternoon all!

    It's a chilly one isn't it? Can't believe it's another monday, still it makes my next India trip a little closer. :j

    Been to yoga this morning after a frantic scramble wrapping 20+ eBay parcels to drop off at the Post Office on the way - I really should wrap on a sunday evening but that would be far too organised.

    Today's outfit:
    Teal Punjabi pants (Local market £2)
    TopShop grey mahl vest (about 9 years old)
    Vintage 1980's pirate boots - brown cotton sock with leather base and straps that cross over the legs (25p car boot sale at least 2 years ago)
    Indian tribal bangles and rings
    Hand of Fatima pendant on a leather thong (Moroccan souk about 15years ago)
    Polished turquoise stud earrings (Xmas pressie)
    Black angora TopShop boyfriend cardi (50p car boot sale)
    Hessian tote with picture of Indian dancing girl (India)

    I have Glowgirl's Medusa hair syndrome, too so it's looped up in an enormous bun!

    Off for my annual hospital check-up today, so I should really get changed into a crimplene frock, sensible lace-up shoes and American Tan tights to fit in with the other hip replacement patients - if my consultant has a medical student with him they are speechless when I walk in. :rotfl:

    Have a lovely day, gang and keep warm!
