    Oh, forgot my outfit:

    Grey mini skirt - Warehouse about 13 years ago
    Red tights - DP
    Cream and tan brogues - River Island sale
    Green vest - Zara
    Red cardi - Matalan, ancient
    Vintage tweed blazer - St Michaels via Oxfam shop. I've removed the giant shoulder pads!
    Green pashmina - gift
    Vintage red clutch - swap with a blogger

    It's my version of autumnal racing chic :)

    Outfit sounds lovely Alex and woo for charity shop finds.
    I'm just off in to town,
    it's raining :(
    Going to try not to spend money, but if I see some bargain brown boots then I might give in. Must not get any piercings done, last time I was shopping with this friend we both ended up with one!

    I've had the nicest afternoon :) Also, depsite vowing not to spend money, I bought some jeans in Espirit which are a perfect fit. I had promised myself some jeans when I reached my goal and they were in the sale at £14.99 instead of £48.99 which makes it MSE, too :p

    Having posted on here a couple of weeks ago...I'm now venturing into detail my outfit for today.

    Black sweater dress - from Next, 4 years ago, lurked in wardrobe unworn until today.
    Black woven slouchy belt - came with the dress.
    Black leggings - New Look couple of weeks ago.
    Black biker style boots - Barretts couple of weeks ago.
    Grey wool Lacoste 3/4 coat - birthday present years ago.
    Gold and diamond earrings - my mums, but she has given them to me :D from Jo'Burg.

    Since I have been making more of an effort with myself, I have lots of positive comments, which are great for my self esteem.

    And.....a friend gave me a bag of clothes she was taking to the charity shop, so I could have a rummage first....I've now got a lovely dark grey skirt from Monsoon and a black sleeveless shift dress from Principles.

    Good morning :)
    Outfit today:

    Grey jumper dress with cat on the front: New Look
    Lightwash jeans: Espirit
    Slippers: Next

    perfect for a lazy Sunday, though I am popping round to see my grandparents later.

    Have finally decided I'm going to have to sell my favourite fat face skirt :( I only bought it a couple of months ago and was hoping it'd still fit as I grew, but sadly not. Annoyed I can't list it anywhere till I get my laptop back though!

    Evening :D

    My outfit for today:

    Thin brown polo neck - Principles
    Grey/brown striped jumper - Next (one of those with the collar & cuffs attached, but V itchy without something underneath)
    Hula jeans - New Look
    Black mock crock Docs

    Usual gold/diamond earrings.

    Now got my school cookery apron on as well, as I'm baking....I have unpicked my name that used to be embroidered across the front ;)

    - black blouse
    - pink pure wool cardigan
    - Large navy shawl/poncho/ wrappy-thing (I'm cold again)
