Weeks Round up

I feel like i've run out of time this week, We've been in our billing week at work and it is always a really tiring process and not my fave aspect of my job but as a billing analyst guess its not something i can get out of! 

Don't get me wrong i love my job which not many people i know can say but sometimes it gets in the way of life and blogging

The important things for this blog my clothes

Tuesday - Felt like a trousers day. 

Top - Sainsburys size 20 past season
Trousers - Matalan Size 24 £5

Boots - Tesco £15 

 Wednesday - It was raining and although i am happy to embrace Autumn i'm not quite ready to give up summer just yet.

 I wore a Peachy Corally dress from Newlook Inspire, this was a sale bargain but i can't remember how much it was. it was cheap enough to justify buying it at least a size too big.

Necklace £1 Dotty P's

oooo this is a bit washed out
 i teamed it with Black tights, a black cardie and my tesco boots
Dress NL
Cardie - Tesco a hand me down

 Thursday i didn't take a picture but i wore the bow print skirt i got at the leeds fat swap. a black vest from Tesco and some berry coloured tights (the tights are the same colour as the top in the next couple of photos.

Friday - dress down day at work.

I'm sick of feeling scruffy on a dress down day, a couple of Next Sales ago i got the top below, but i've never known what to wear it with. i feel like i needs a really nice dressy skirt but i don't think that look is very ME.

So as it was DDF i wore the jeans.

The top is lacy, not sure how to describe it so some useful terms would be appreciated. it comes with a built in liner which makes it work appropriate and buttons up the back, i did wear a black vest for that extra layer of protection in case all the buttons popped off!

Top Next Sale £12 Size 20
Jeans - NL £11 Size 20

OOTD Friday

Friday is my favourite clothes day of the week, mainly because i can wear jeans for work. 

I wear dresses 90% of my work wardrobe but i would happily wear jeans 247.

Jeans Sainsburys Size 22
Top Next Size 20
Coat Matalan Size 20

OOTD Wednesday

It was still feeling a little wintry so i dug out another winter staple. 

A pink flowery dress from ASDA, worn with a trusty pair of Leggins from Next and my new Tesco Boots. 

I've also dug out my "Autumn" coat. Which is a Regatta one that i got from Matalan last year. I was looking for a Green, Blue or Brown on in the same style but i couldn't find on that was just right and when i saw this one its exactly what i was looking for. i love the colour but i feel a bit self concious wearing it.

Dress Size 20 ASDA
Leggins Size 18 Next £9
Coat Size 20 Matalan £30

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.
