Day Fourteen

It snowed this morning, if you hadn't heard. And I HATE snow. In fact I hate any weather that isn't mild and at least slightly sunny, so it was big jumpers and fur all the way today. Tried and tested as a warm outfit (with two t-shirts and an extra pair of leggings), this will be my official outfit for the week if the snow keeps it up.

Day Thirteen

My hangover Sunday has consisted of Breakfast Club with the hangover crew, Baileys latte's and streaming Les Mis. Ideal!

Cardigan - vintage; Crop top - Topshop; High waisted jeans - eBay; DM brogues - eBay; Necklace - eBay; Frilly sock - H&M

It can be as cold as it likes but I will be wearing crop tops through the snow, I don't even care. Also, high waisted jeans are an error when you're venturing out solely to stuff yourself with veggie breakfasts, but whatever. 

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!

Day Twelve

It's two of my girl's birthdays tonight so we're hitting the town. Wasn't entirely sure of my outfit - I feel part power lesbian, part office worker, part hipster - but I'm going with it anyway.

Blazer - H&M; Crop top - eBay; Trousers - H&M; Shoes - New Look; Bag - iOffer

In fact, I was considering returning these trousers until I noticed that that shop assistant had marked them down wrong so I actually got them for £5. What a bargain!

Day Eleven

A depressing day of emails, meetings and trying to sort my life out. Days like this always encourage me to dress in a way that contradicts my actual position. So where I feel like I should be in horrible lazy clothing, I dress like I actually have some money/good stuff going on. I'm not the only one who does that, right?

In other news today, I found a pair of Jeffrey Campbells reduced from £95 to £20 IN MY SIZE ONLY, and I didn't buy them, which proves that I am slowly but surely maturing when it comes to my finances. I'm also kind of willing for spring to come early so it's been a pastely kinda day over here.

Day Ten

Despite what the weather seemed to suggest yesterday, summer hasn't actually started, so I froze in this today. Might be time to bring the furs back out. My winter denial means they've not seen much daylight this year.

This dalmatian print canvas bag is my new favourite thing. I initially bought it (for a bargain £1.50) for the days I'm running around with my laptop and gym clothes, but it actually makes a pretty cute bag for normal days too!

Day Nine

I spent this morning running errands, but having sorted out a teeny tiny bit of my wardrobe last night I decided to wear yet another sad piece that's been lying around waiting to be loved.

Top - American Apparel; Leather trousers - Topshop; Converse - Office; Necklace - eBay

I bought this sweat top during an American Apparel phase and have pretty much only ever worn it to the gym or to sleep. I wore it with a peacoat today which kind of reminded me of on of those outfits you'd reblog on Tumblr but looks really crap when you put it on yourself!

Teamed with leather trousers, this is pretty much the closest you'll ever see me get to the 'sports luxe' trend. A pretty pathetic attempt, but I just don't get it - sorry!

Day Eight

Obviously I'm putting my new boots into action today! This is my second day of wearing something that's been sat in my wardrobe waiting to be loved. I bought this velvet leopard print top a few months back in a charity shop but I've been feeling so uninspired I've not got around to wearing it.


Similarly, yesterday's cricket jumper was a bargain for £1 at a car boot sale last summer and was actually in one of my eBay bags until I saw a few people wearing similar pieces and decided to give mine a go. I'm going to put it down to this blog inspiring me to make a use out of the numerous unworn items I own.
