  • gorgeous jacket, I'd keep an eye out in the new look sales, they often sell off cheap, might only be a leather look one though. And I think you can buy a stud gun type thing but I don't know how expensive they are or how to use one! maybe someone more crafty might know.

    I'm going to bed now, night everyone xx

    Hey all. Just got home from my guides meeting, which was fun and rather relaxed for a change after all the work we'd been putting in for the talent show..still rynnning on adrenaline I think, not even tired yet, so going to make sure the flat is mega tidy as I think my landlords coming round at some point this week (prob whilst I'm not here) to look at the heaters..yay

    just wanted to also say thanks to everyone who put their lovely comments on my blog today, you've really cheered me up about the way I look, I'm not entirely happy with myself, but I guess I'm not as bad as I thought lol..

    Oh that's good news Char, both the fun Guides meeting and the fact you're feeling more positive :)

    I think I'll have to take myself off bedwards as well. So so sleepy and I need to do the usual pre-bed diary entry, room tidy and outfit picking before I can actually go to bed.

    MM- good luck today hun, will be thinking of you <3


    Good morning :) so misty out at the moment, but according to the weather man it will burn off and be a gorgeous day...I live in hope.
    Outfit is what I intended to wear Sunday, though liable to change depending on how comfortable the skirt is around my swollen tum :(
    So,
    Jade green cotton 3/4 top: New Look via friend
    Floral skirt: New Look via medsdemon
    Black tights: Tesco
    Grey cardi: Matalan

    Shoe wise, quite a bit of walking to do at the hospital so flat buckle detail boots from Dorothy Perkins,
    plus winter coat, scarf and mittens as it tends to be colder up there.

    Gotta go out this afternoon too and take library books back, I sense tomorrow will have to be a much lazier day :p

    stripey jumper £8.70
    grey jumper £5.40
    pack of 2 tshirts £3.90

    Does the length make my legs look short?

    Marzipan, I love the shape and fit of the skirt on you, but I think it could do with being a couple of inches shorter...


    Ladies,
    has anyone seen any cheap navy tights on their travels?
  • thanks, that's pretty much what i thought too (and i already have a similar skirt that's about half the length)

    You could try school uniform sections. I had tons of navy tights for school but i don't know what i did with them.

    i havent noticed any daisy, will keep an eye out now you've mentioned them though..

    marzipan - i think black skirt is nice, but based on the other things you're keeping, maybe the brown version would be better?? would go with the stripey jumper better imo..
    i'm not sure about the beige cardi either, i'd say if you;re not sure about them you probably won't wear them, so better to send back?

    today's outfit :
    new look black/white stripey and floral print dress..
    black tights / vest under low cut dress lol
    boring black/gold leather pumps, topshop, because the dress is annoyingly too short for my new ICs which turned up yday :(
    long green boyfriend cardigan, new look
