Hi all

How is everyone? I know I've been MIA for a bit, was just on MSE too much so had to go cold turkey for a bit and am now limiting my online time lol.

I missed this thread though (am scared at the thought of trying to keep up).

Anyway! I have been very busy. Got lots of stuff listed on eBay to declutter and boost the house deposit, have also had a few fab CS bargains lately. Highlights: a Debs green cardigan with stripy lining down the buttons (£2.50), a gorgeous brown Monsoon v-neck top (£2) and a really beautiful purple moleskin-type coat with a big collar (Debs Collection) - it was £20 but must have cost £100+ new! And the tags were still on it

Outfit today:
Said Monsoon top £2
Oasis brown/green cream beaded skirt £4 (CS)
Brown tights and boots

good morning had a quick try to get on the h&m site to look at the new collection, but it's too busy, so i guess that's a good thing..

vintage (!) leopard print m&s jumper, from a charity shop in hereford..
black jersey zara mini skirt, from ebay
black suede over-knee boots, with gold button studs all the way up the side, matalan
gold and black jewelled ring, primark

I can't be bothered with Lanvin/H&M...I like some of the pieces but not enough to stress out trying to buy something I can't afford just because I feel I ought to

I'm back up at the hospital today for an orthodontist appointment, it's going to be very strange walking past the unit!

Outfit:
Pale blue jeans: Espirit sale
Black 3/4 sleeve cotton top: Ancient dorothy perkins
Black draped batwing sleeve top: Giles Deacon for New Look a few years ago...majorly reduced in the sale!

Some form of boots.

South west was supposed to miss out on the snow forecast, but looks like we'll get some by the weekend, gutted!
