Autumn uniform

Can we talk about the weather? It should be a bit chilly and it's not. It's playing havoc with my wardrobe as I just can't get my temperature right, I'm expecting cold and it's anything but.

I seem to have adopted an autumn uniform - Jeans, boots, vest & a cardigan. Not overly thrilling, right? But some outfits just feel good and these are 2 of them. Nothing amazing or fashion worthy really, although I very much seem to have a penchant for wearing see-through tops with very colourful bra's on show for work. I think I'm rebelling against being one of the boys.

These maternity jeans are my all time favourite ever. They are skinny, don't sag and have the comfiest waist band ever (not over the bump style) but sadly they no longer do them. I need to find some alternatives when these become thread bare. Any suggestions?

Grey Vest (18) - Tesco
Burgundy Cardigan (20) - Primark
Studded Boots - M&S
Royal Blue Bra - Ann Summers (who knew they did big booby bras??)


These jeans of dreams are still awesome. I've also invested in the boot of dreams from Simply Be.

The Magnificent 7th - Polka Dot


7th October, already? Where on earth has this year gone. 

So this months theme is Polka dot. I have a massive love for all things Polka dot and I expected to find a plethora of items in my wardrobe. This was not the case.... However, I did find this forgotten skirt hidden in the depths. I've not really worn it that much as it goes a bit white when stretched over my thighs, but with a longer top, it actually felt ok. I was dressed for Autumn today and was positively roasting - pleather jacket and sun is not ideal.

Excuse my tired face and crap quality photo's, I'm recovering from a weekend spent in bed with a bad cold and this was after a full day of work. I need to take photo's during day light to avoid having the glare of the hall light making me look haunted.

Ooh and check out our new wallpaper - isn't it amazing?? Yes, it's dog print.

Life lately

I've been a tad rubbish  at this old blogging of late. Life is mental, but I've been shopping like there's no tomorrow so I have lots of new clothes. I'm now enforcing a spending ban on myself for fear of bankruptcy.

I found a load of photo's (of dubious quality) on my phone so I may as well share some of my most recent purchases.

I've so many pairs of these jersey peg trousers from ASOS, they are the most comfy things ever. Like wearing PJ's for work.

Swing Vest (22) - ASOS Curve

Studded Flats - Matalan

These jeans from Junarose are my absolute favourite jeans at the moment. I've worn them to death since they arrived. I'm considering buying more jeans from them as the quality is amazing.

This peplum top is really pretty, I've worn it on a night out without the vest underneath, but it's very sheer, so a no go for work like that :)

Studded Shoes - Steve Madden
Boyfriend Jeans (24) - New Look Inspire

My quest for a slouchy fit jumper continues, I really want an oversized yet flattering jumper, but I'm really struggling to find such a thing. This one from Carmakoma is pretty good, but a bit more fitted than I wanted. Maybe I should have sized up. If anyone knows of anywhere selling oversized knits, please let me know!

So there we go. What have you all been buying lately?
