Day Three

I took a day off from work today and went shopping with my mum - I have Christmas money left over that I don't want to spend on bills or cocktails, so let me off this once!

I actually only ended up with a portable iPhone charger and some cute Charlotte Olympia-esque kitty pumps from Accessorize. And they were both bargains so it's fine.
Tomasina Cat ballet pumps - £26 £13; Portable Charger - £20 £6 both Accessorize

I've been lusting after the Charlotte Olympia kitty pumps for so long, and these were such a steal that I couldn't resist. Plus, all my shoes are either heels, trainers or ridiculous platforms following summer's grunge obsession, so it was about time I invested in some sensible shoes. Justification over.

Fur bag - Primark; Spike shoes - eBay; Black jeans - American Apparel; fur gilet - Asda; Jumper - Asda

Another thing I'd been hunting for forever was a black fur gilet. They're such a simple item, but nowhere seems to get them right. New Look had a gorgeous one, but the back was PU leather, Primark had the shape spot on, but it was only available in blue (wtf?!), and everywhere else were charging beyond the odds. 

I picked this one up in Asda, of all places, whilst shopping with my mum for New Year's Eve table decorations, along with the amazing fluoro jumper.

Day Two

Another lazy day today! Working from home means that I don't actually have to get dressed until I need to leave the house, which can be good and bad. Good, because it saves me putting outfits together, bad, because it's hard to be proactive in pyjamas!

I went to watch The Hobbit with my family this evening, and since I was only going to be sat in the dark, I put minimal effort into my outfit. It seems I'm having a pretty uninspired start to 2013! I just find it so hard to dress well in cold weather when all I really care about is not freezing on my way to the car.


T-shirt - Topshop Maternity (via eBay); Leggings - eBay; Pumps - eBay

A very eBay orientated outfit today, so it's probably a good chance to mention that I am completely addicted. I love bargains, I love packages arriving, and I love bidding. It's a pretty unhealthy, and ultimately expensive, addiction which is one of the reasons I started this blog in the first place.

Also, I have no need for maternity wear just yet, I just like my tops to be baggy and this one happened to be going cheap!
