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.

OOTD - Saturday

Today i had to go to the Dentist boooo - good news apart from a some potential gum issues that i can fix myself by flossing, i don't need any treatment. No dentist visits for 12 months! 

It was strange weather this morning, sunny but cold so i went with the old faithful jeans, i dread the day these wear out. 

My converse and a top from ASDA Moda

 Teasing you. here is the full outfit , thank you primark for the use of your mirrors.

Shoes - Converse
Jeans - NL £11 Size 20
Top - ASDA Moda £6 Size 22

 On i forgot i also wore a cardie as it was a bit chilly

Cardie - £7 H&M 

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

A close up so you can see the detail, pls ignore my face

OOTD Sunday - Sunshine on a Rainy Day

A few weeks ago i got some shorts from ASDA, i really wasn't sure about them. 

What didn't help was my mum burst out laughing when i tried them on. 

But i saw Rachel wearing them in one of her recent posts and she looks amazing in them so i decided to keep them and as it was sunny this morning i decided to wear them

How cute is the print.

 The background colour is slightly off white so wasn't sure what top to wear with them, as we weren't going out anywhere i went for a very casual top from H&M a couple of years ago.

Top H&M - Past Season Size L
Shorts ASDA £4 - Size 24 

From behind, the don't looks as bad as i'd expected

A close up- i love this print

Have you worn something you own that you had consigned to the back of a wardrobe because of another blogger? 

OOTD Saturday

Today was like a summers day

What to wear... what to wear...

Sundress of course 

 A Sundress i got from the Leeds Fat swap.

I decided as  all the pictures i used for the OOTD posts were all mirror shots to use the self timer feature.

 I didn't think i'd pressed it for the time in this one haha i hate it but love it at the same time

The dress is an ASOS Size 14, but it fits well, i think a bigger size would be better but i'm still happy to wear it as it is

Shoes Miss Selfridge Size 6 £12 or £16

 I wore Navy Sandals when i went out today but the rubbed a bit so i changed to ballet flats when i got home

The old Self arm shot. i wanted to show you the buttons on the top

Please ignore the greasy hair it really needs a wash

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 Thursday

I'm still keeping up wearing a skirt a week. While although it is still on the chilly side i felt like being  summery. 

Skirt Size 20 Primark £5 (sale reduced from £10)
Top Size 16 Tesco £1 (Sale reduced from £5)
Cardie Size 20 Leeds Fat Swap, Label is washed out but does remind me of Littlewoods mid 80s

Cardie Detail

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 Sunday

Today i nipped into town to meet my mum for a coffee, yes we live together but she's been in Skipton for the weekend and i hadn't been out of the house on Saturday

Again self timed shot, camera was balanced on the Bin!!! (classy)

 I wore Jeans from Sainsbutys and a Striped top from Sainsburys, what you can't see id the back, it has a dipped hem which, i've had the top for quite a while and its lovely and comfy. Idea for a Lazy Sunday.

I am possibly the last person on the Planet to own a pair of Converse shoes. I got these earlier in the year. I had told myself if i was having a pair it'd have to be from TK Maxx but i fell in love with this pair in Schu (?) on Market Street in Manchester. 

What do you like to wear on Lazy days?

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 Thursday

I seriously wasn't unhappy when this picture was taken

I wore a Skirt and a Dress today!

Strange but true. I wore a black dress from H&M but it was a bit short for work, i couldn't find another black top so i just put my skirt on over the dress!

I really need a better camera, think i might ask Father Christmas for one xxx

OOTD Wednesday

On Wednesday I decided I’d best wear a skirt as part of my Challenging Self idea.

I'm trying to take better photo's which is hard when i have to do mirror shots or use the self timer on my camera.

I went down by the canal in Manchester to take my photo's

Test photo, ok so the Lock arm thingy is in the way but the mechanics thing is a good hight for the camera

I decided to wear the skirt I have acquired from the Leeds Clothes swap.

This skirt is so pretty, I have a feeling it’s a homemade one as  can’t see a label and there is a small amount of fraying round the zip.

However it is so cute, it has button detailing at the front, but they are false button holes so no unexpected flashing can occur!

The fabric feels really nice and it has a lovely bow print to it

See its cute!

A Few Outfits

I can't seem to find the time to blog daily at the moment, so i thought i'd do a few days outfits at a time
