    I've been Money Tipped!
    stuck around house clearning up some admin and waiting for the heating engineer today. Jeans, grey dress over (jeans re a bit too loose for this to really work though, got folds under the dress) black flats, black cardigan. Opal ear studs, wedding ring, grey M&S sunglasses , earlier this year, about £10 I thin, but very, very good glasses. :)

    I thought I'd share my "want" with you. Will have to see how the finances are going though. Not sure which colour: http://www.newlook.co.uk/1730352/173035232/ProductDetails.aspx

    Your pic hasn't showed up, but managed to get the link by quoting you.

    Fabulous boots!!! They're beautiful, can see why you're hooked lol.

    NL have some great clothes at the moment! There's a brown boyfriend cardie in the sale for £12 if anyone's a size 10 or 12.

    I also spotted a purple bodycon dress for £8, but think it might be a tad too muttonish for my advancing years :rolleyes:.

    Might have a look at the brown cardi, not that my cardi drawer isn't overflowing anyway..But yeah, want the boots..Not top of my priorities list tho, but if I can still afford them at the end of the month after all the boring expenses such as eating etc, they shall be mine..

    Ooh pretty!

    I seem to be having clothes based issues at the moment, I'm really struggling to find anything like other than basics - winter kick starts my full on jumper and jeans/skirt and boots addiction so I've stocked up on lovely soft new jumpers to wear.

    To that end, ladies (and any gents), I need your opinions - would you say that this is an acceptable outfit to wear for afternoon tea at a hotel in Covent Garden, bearing in mind that the dress code is 'smart casual'?

    - Purple V neck jumper
    - White vest top or T shirt under jumper
    - Purple and white striped knee length skirt
    - Brown mid calf boots
    - Black tights (if it's cold)

    I may have to do some last ditch shopping this afternoon or tomorrow morning but this is my back up outfit, so do you guys think it'll be OK?

    Oh I want it in every colour! Might flutter my eyelashes sweetly when I go to the interview I'm doing with them ;)


    Thanks for the kind words everyone.
    Just back from a cold and soggy walk, what happened to yesterday's perfect weather?!

    Hello all. Piratefairy, I'm loving the boots you're wearing today in your blog - so fabulous! Daisybella, hope you're feeling okay hon, sorry to hear about the guinea pig. :(

    It's so cold here today... my desk heater has been on since 9am and won't go off 'til 5.30!

    Anyway, here's today's:

    Dark denim skinny jeans
    Grey tee with dog print
    White and blue pin striped blazer
    Black suede pixie boots with silver studs
    String of pearls
    Pink and silver cotton scarf

    TGIF! :)

    I wanted to know what happened with that! So you're going for an interview? How brilliant! Hope you get lots of free stuff to model in your blog... if you could mention a certain fellow blogger with a fashionable habit, that'd be fab! ;):rotfl:
