Challenging Self #4 - Skirts

Skirts are not my friend.

I like skirts but I don’t like how they sit on me, I always seem to have the hem in the wrong place, every time I walk past something reflective I notice they are too high at the front or the back, or they've twisted round or all of the above.

I tend to avoid them for this reason, but a few weeks ago I dug out my Purple skirt from Peacocks and wore it, so I’ve decided to try and wear a skirt at least once a week.

Although I own a few skirts I only have a couple that fit me, so I’m going to have to try and cut out some junk and try and slim, now I’m not going crazy and re-joining WW or SW just going to try and cut back and get in to some more of my clothes.

It’s a few weeks since I wrote the above and I have been making an effort to wear a skirt once a week, it has been a different skirt except once when I wore the purple skirt again as I do love it.

Also in the weeks I’ve only bought 1 234 skirts and one of them is for a fancy dress outfit and will never be worn again!

It started with a Blog award one of the things about me was 10) I rarely wear skirts and they don't like me. From then on I’ve made the effort.

 Skirt 1: Purple pleated skirt from Peacocks, this was in the sale just before Christmas last year, and they had it in bright red I wish I’d got that as well.

Skirt 2: Navy Swallow print skirt from Primark, I was very unsure about this as its got a dipped hem and I haven’t been a massive fan. I love the print and the fact that is jersey but I adore it. I’m still not convinced it work appropriate but I have worn it for work about 3 times and not been told off 

Skirt 3: Black Maxi Skirt from Matalan. I got this a year or more and it’s a size 16. I had lost some weight when I got it but I don’t think it’s too tight. I never know what to wear it with but I felt like I needed some comfort so went for a Zara stripy top

Skirt 4: Chili and floral print skirt from Primark, I love love love this skirt, the only problem is it’s a tad too small. Don’t get me wrong I can get in it and it looks ok but after wearing it all day for work I’d swollen in to it and had to physically wrestle it off over my head! 

Skirt 5: a yellow flowery skirt from Primark - I haven't worn this yet it was an impulse buy and may be returned

I have really enjoyed wearing skirts over the last few week and I will definitely try and wear one at least a week.

ASOS Curve - Part 1 The Order

Last night after looking through a few blogs i discovered Linzerello Fatshion now I've followed her WW blog for quite some time and not sure how i missed the fact she had a fashion blog. some lovely posts go and read it.

Through her i discovered ASOS Curve . I'm not a massive fan of online shopping, if i want something i need it here and now. I also like to be able to feel fabrics and try things on, but 3 8 things caught my eye.

I've ordered 4 of them. The links are below

I've taken advantage of the free 6 day deliver and had things sent to work (ops hope i don;t get shouted at!)

I was also impressed they offer a delivery to collection points which tends to be corner shops looking at the places on offer in my area, including the shop on my street, which will be a bonus if work shout at me and i decide to order more items!

i was also impressed to see a next day evening delivery option £7.95, which if you are desperate for your order could be worth paying. this offered a slot between 4PM and 10PM.

I',m hoping i love everything I've ordered and more importantly it fits. I'm almost wishing I'd paid for next day delivery but I'm sure I'll get over it :0)
