Not the best photo today, I am aware I looks a bit rough! I have been up since the crack of dawn and am over heating! I cannot cope in the heat but wanted to show my outfit off today
The vintage skirt is a bargain buy from a charity shop, only cost me £3. I spotted it but due to my severe lack of funds could not afford it. Luckily when I went back a week later it was still there begging me to buy it. Must have been fate ha! It is such a lovely length, I can't wear short skirts with bare legs! I finally brought into the Royal wedding hype. I did have my eye on the Cath Kidston tote but at £10 it was just a little too much. Plus we don't have a shop near and I would have had to pay postage. I am far too much of a skinflint to do that! Luckily this Body Shop one was only £3.50. Going to get a mug sometime next week.
Me and the mother went to a bootsale today and I really did strike it lucky. I came away with a lovely vintage tweed blazer with suede elbow patches and collar for £2, the Office boxset with the Christmas special included for £1.50, Bruce Almighty for 50p and a brand new pair of nautical style pearl earrings from River Island for a £1. Not bad for a fiver!
Just come back from a lovely pub lunch and am hiding out in my bedroom to try and attempt some dissertation work. Its just so hard when its so sunny but I am going to try and get at least 700-800 words completed. Fingers crossed!
Is everyone having a lovely Easter Sunday? Sick of chocolate yet?
THE SKIRT! It's absolutely beautiful :D Oh I know what you mean about it being difficult to work when it's sunny, I've been making myself do revision outside because it's the only way I'll get anything done! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love your polka dot skirt! You are so lucky it was still in the shop a week later. Sounds like you grabbed a few great items at the car boot. I find them a bit hit and miss. Mostly miss though!
