Some catch-up photos







From the top! Firstly we have the outfit I wore to my London birthday drinks last night (I'm like the Queen, I always have two birthdays if possible!) which was exclusively from Primark. I've had the t-shirt for ages but the skirt is new. Then there's the dress I bought from - shock horror - Topshop. It's been years since I've found something I like in Topshop - usually the place makes me feel old and I spend most of my time in there saying things like '£50? For Topshop jeans? They were £20 when I used to buy my jeans from here!' - so finding this dress was a very pleasant surprise. It's not actually by Topshop, which might explain things - it's by Reko. It's very cute and I think it'll work equally well with a cardie and opaque tights for winter, or on its own in the summer. And then in the third picture, we have the dress I got for my birthday. It's from New Look, it has lovely little flowers on it, and the sleeves are all fab and puffy. Finally, the last photo is of my ultra-comfy yet quite funky and stylish New Look sweater dress. It's a lot more flattering than it looks, and it's REALLY warm. Too warm to wear at the moment, really (although I did the other day, because you have to wear new things as soon as you get them) but I have a feeling it's going to be amazing for the winter.

I have neglected this blog for far too long!

Apologies for not posting in weeks and weeks and weeks! I went on holiday (had a lovely time, thank you) and then after that quite a lot of my time was taken up with training for the Royal Parks Half Marathon (2:36...yes I know it's slow but it's fast for me!) so my wardrobe in September consisted mainly of trainers and really unflattering Lycra running gear.

But I really do need to give myself a good kick up the backside and get this blog up and running again, so here I am!

I may as well start with a confession...since I last posted I have bought two skirts and two dresses (I think...there may be more...) and I got another dress for my birthday. Oh dear. It's that change-of-season thing - all of a sudden I'm thinking things like 'Oh no! It's chilly and I don't have any dresses that go with black tights!' which is a complete lie, as earlier blog posts have proven. So here we go again - I'll be making a concerted effort to wear the things I already have instead of buying more.

Join me!
