Another Weekend Another Dress

I'm really enjoying wearing dresses at the weekend and i don't i'd complain if i got told i could only wear dresses for the rest of my life. 

The weather yesterday was quite nice so i wore the dress i got from ASOS Curve. i wasn't quite brave enough not to go without a cardie so i wore my H&M one.

 I adore the neck detail on this dress, i think its a little bit different.

I also love these shoes, but sadly they are too small for my and by the time we were ready to go home my little toes were really painful! i'm not ready to part with them just yet.

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

OOTD Tuesday

Today has been very autumnal, I'm glad I dug out my "winter dress"

I also got new boots from Tesco last night. I will take some better photo's of them for another post



Boots £15 Tesco



 I love the flowery print, it is fading and going bobbly but i have had it about 2 years 

 I've never worn it with a belt before as it has the elastic details, but i think i will wear it again. you can't really see from the photo but the belt is patent 



Belt £2 in a 2 pack Dorothy Perkins sale 



I hadn't had the chance to take a picture so i nipped in to the Oxfam Shop on Oldham street as they have a massive mirror near the back. 



Dress Encuentro



Are you ready to dig out your winter clothes or not?

OOTD Monday

Back to work today, i've been wearing the same few outfits for weeks.

Time to dig out some other things to wear. I have so many clothes i need to start shopping in my wardrobe.

As it's getting colder I'm going to try and sort out my wardrobe at some point. 



Dress - Primark £10 size 20
Cardie ASDA Size 16
Leggins Next £9 Size 18
Boots Primark

  I wore my Primark Owl print dress, with a Blue Cardie from Asda, the Trusty Next Leggins and Boots from Primark

 Gotta love the Owls

A really bad shot of my boots, these are comfy but are really strange to walk in, they feel soft almost like Jelly shoes.

OOTD Saturday

Saturday - I'm still wearing dresses on the weekend. 

 I am also trying to take pictures using the self timer. I don't seem to have any surface at the right hight to get a decent shot 

I've got my moneys worth out of this £6 dress, I think I've worn it 3 or 4 times already

OOTD Saturday

Today i had a busy day so decided i need to be comfortable, however as it was warm i went with a dress from Encurentro, belt - hand me down, leggins Next (i over about 5 pairs of these) sandals from Next Sale

 You can't really see the Belt on the above so i took some more shots of it, a belt is a rare sight on me.

 I love the print of this top.

 I wore the belt back to front as i love the plaitedness (none word i know)

I love these shoes, really cute and comfortable

 I just want to point out that its true, what a difference a day makes, Yesterday i wore these shoes!

Love Stefi

OOTD DDF

Its Friday Friday Friday....

which means Dress Down Friday (DDF). sometime i miss being able to wear my jeans everyday, but i do love my dresses.

today i wore my Bear Paw boots from TK Maxx, it was raining again!!!!

Jeans the good old New look basic £11 jeans and an Owl top from Next, this is now in the sale.

Do you Do DDF?

OOTD Tuesday

i'd like to start by saying i'm in a bad mood, i'm been grumpy all day also known as Angry Steph coined by a colleague!

i will try to be cheerful but i can't promise, i also have developed ear ache and toothache and a headache!

Ok here goes OOTD... that needs its own jingle.

Shoes TK Maxx - i've also realised they are a brand XTI  which is a brand i've seen and noticed in Spain (it is a spanish brand i think) but as i don't really go in shoe shops (ahem you'd think i was lying if you saw how many pairs of shoes i own) i haven't noticed them in the UK.

Dress - you've seen this before but only in the changing rooms when i bought it now you get to see it in the toilets.... ooo i do spoil you!

Cardie - F&F a million years ago

Leggins - Next

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 

OOTD Saturday 14th July

Today I am wearing my Cath Kidston flowery ballet pumps. I love that shop but find it incredibly expensive and I often wander in and out without buying anything. Just checked the link for the shows and these are now reduced to £12.00 which I don't think is bad!

Work knows how much I love it and bought me these shoes.

I am also wearing my simply be boyfriend cardie yes the same one as yesterday

Black leggins from Next. I'm not a massive fan of Next and I must admit I only buy sale items from there with the exceptions on ankle length black leggins which I can't get enough of

Navy sun dress from h&m got this a couple of years ago for holiday them promptly lost it!

It reappeared a few months ago but as I've gained weight since I bought t. Feel it's too small however today I thought sod it I ripped the label off and here it is. I love the rope straps and belt detail and the fact it has pockets!

It looks much better with the Cardie on; I just took it off to prove it’s too small!! It also kept riding up at the side where my bag was so I’m glad I had leggins on or it could have been trés embarrassing!
