Last Mondays OOTD

Don't hold this against me but i'm really struggling to blog each night so i'm going to be doing some bulk posts at the weekend and schedule the through out the week. 

I know some people don't really like scheduled post but unless i tell you its scheduled how would you know? 

I could tell you i wore this today and you'd have to believe me. Well i don't want to lie to you lovely lot. 

Another lie i'm not going to tell you is about this dress, I HATE this dress. 

Its a new one from ASDA and was only £3, but i'm really disappointed in it. 

It actually looks better in the pictures than i remember it doing in real life. 

Dress  ASDA Size 24 £3 

 The dress is a grey background with a pink and black leopard print design. I wore it with thick black tights and my boots fro Tesco.

One thing i do like is the buttons as i love all things button related. but the collar doesn't sit right and i just don't like it 

I will be wearing this again, well at least 2 more times to get my moneys worth! LOL 

I'm glad i only paid £3 for this dress and i can see why it was reduced so much. 

This dress is also on the small size its a size 24, when i bought it i tried it on and it was on a Size 18's hanger and i was pleased as it felt a bit big when i got it home i  was gutted to notice it was a size 24.  I don't really care about dress size but it was a bit gutting. 

you can read about the trying on here 

Going back to what i said about value for money, i remember reading in a magazine years ago about how to value your clothes on a per wear basis. 

Basically you divide how much an item cost by the number of times you've worn it. 

For example you buy a dress for £100 (clearly its not me spending £100 on a frock) 

You wear it once its a bit dear but if you can wear it 4 times it only £25 a wear and £25 for a posh frock is pretty good value right?!?!?!

My Jeans from New Look cost £11 and i have worn them 100's of times so they were practically free! 

Love the justification of this!

I also like buying things in the sales as i will be more inclined to wear it and wear the item more often as if you've paid a lot for them you will want to save them for best!!!

Does anyone else share my logic! :)

Trip to Asda Living

I had a little trip to ASDA Living with my mama, I do love ASDA living.

I got this G21 top, its really pretty and think it will be really good for a night out and i could wear it for work with a vest under it. for £4 it was a steal!

 I also got this green multi print frock. I've liked this since they got them in, but hadn't got round to buying and it was only £6. Ignore the jeans round my ankles I couldn't be bother removing them!

I also got a bra for £4. 2 packs of pens £3, a pair of Ballet pumps, £5, a red top £5 (i didn't try this on as my mum handed it to me as I got to the till), PJ Bottoms £3.
Not bad for £30.

Shopping

My mum is a confirmed shopaholic and to be fair I’m not far behind her! 

The next sale started this morning, the day la mama jetted off on holiday. She really wanted a few things from the next sale and even a 7AM VIP slot couldn't deliver what she wanted. 

I had the challenge to try and get her some things and I failed miserably.

All I managed to get her was the Owl T-shirt in Navy in a size smaller than she wanted. I’m going to have to go to the one in Manchester on Monday to see if I can exchange it. 

I did get myself a dress, it is a little bit too small across the chest, they only has it in an 18's and I’m considering taking it back as it think it will be a bugger to iron but I do kind of love it. And £20.00 instead of £42.  

I popped into Peacocks mainly to use their changing rooms to take today's photos. We don't have a full length mirror at home and never have had one and no one knows why! 

I did buy myself a dress and I love love love it. £9.00 reduced from £20.00 which makes it a much better bargain than the next one and it won't need ironing at all!!!! I got it in 20 and it’s roomy, but I think an 18's would have been stretched out of all proportion. 

What do we think? Keep, Return? 

My mum got me a dress from Peacocks sale yesterday which I have been lusting after for a few weeks. It's one with a dippy hem. (Is there a true name for that style?) I’m wearing it tonight when I got to the opening of a new hairdressers / beauty place then on for a Curry with my friend Nat
