I want to buy you something but I don't have any money

Outfit:
Brown t-shirt - Primark
Cream 3/4 cardigan - Primark
Cranberry lace skirt with belt - Primark
Nude court shoes- Primark

Walking advertisement for Primark!

This is another work outfit that I have found pictures of. I really like the colours in this, feels so autumn/winter which is my favourite season. Sunshine is overrated. I think I will just add brown tights to cover up the knobbly knees when it starts to get colder. The skirt was a bargain £12, I love it when things don't look like Primark. I think this has a River Island look about it? I really do not know what I will do when these shoes fall apart, kicking myself for not buying a few pairs. They are the perfect work shoes, go with everything!

Off to Clacton in a little while, in fact I should be getting ready... My boyfriend's uncle has a caravan down there and we often go for day trips when his whole family are away on a holiday. Looking forward to some chips by the seafront, I don't think anything else is acceptable if you go to the seaside.

Going to my first wedding reception tonight of people our age. This is really freaking me out as I am 22 but still feel like I am 16! Having been with my boyfriend for nearly 5 years, marriage is frequently mentioned by family members who react in horror when I say thanks but no thanks. At the moment I am more interested in buying my first Mulberry handbag and my boyfriends wants the new Ipad. Maybe this is why we suit?

By the way the title of this post is a Drums song which my boyfriend has decided now belongs to me as it sums me up haha! He knows me so well, I am constantly telling him this! Bring on my first wage packet!

I have so many blogs to comment on and comments to reply too. I will get through them next week I promise, please don't think I am being mean!

Hope you all have a good weekend!

Oh My Darling!

Since I have started work I have been struggling with my work wardrobe. I have about 12 outfits on rotate and have been trying to mix it up as much as possible. I don't like wearing my "normal" clothes to work. I feel like I have to have that distinction. Does anyone else feel like that?


Anyway I was contacted by Darling and asked to look at their selection of clothing. We all know I love a dress and these are no execption! They would all be perfect for work and the best thing is they are all in the sale. Must be a sign!

Darling April Dress - £41.97




Darling Maisie Dress - £38.64


Darling Sylvie Swirl Dress - £41.97Darling Sara Dress - £48.97

Darling Lottie Dress - £38.64


Maisie is a gorgeous dress, I think it might be my favourite. I love the lace detail, it looks so feminine. It would be a shame to cover it up with a cardigan. I can't help to be drawn to florals so naturally Lottie ticks all the boxes! Although Sylvie and Sara are summer dresses they would still look fab layered up with cardigans and tights. I am thinking grey tights to add something a little different? April is structured making it perfect for the working environment. It is just right for working in the city!


Which one is your favourite?

Don't leave your life in the hands of a rock and roll band

Outfit:
Leopard print peter pan collar: River Island via Ebay
Nude patent bow loafers: Primark
Topshop rustic gold bangle: Gift
Red plastic watch: Toywatch

I wore this to work on Friday. I love the little peter pan collar on it although it does seem a little trend overload with an exposed zip and the fact it is leopard print. I have started to wear my hair like this when it's hot. I have far too much hair at the minute, it seems to have grown so much over night. There is nothing worse than having long hair in rush hour on the tube when everyone is hot and sweaty. My new pet hate is having other peoples hair stuck to my arm...

Look at me posting twice in one week eh? Not really much to report. I did a bootsale today and made a grand total £3 after we took the £11 out we paid for the car. Not the most successful one. I suppose it is still £3 I never had and I sold some more junk.

Not really doing much this weekend, off to a my mum's friends 40th birthday tonight. My dad and boyfriend have refused to go, anyone else’s other half unsociable? My boyfriend is extremely sociable with his friends but does not want to know when he won't know anyone. I have given up making him go anywhere! Working tomorrow, doing a bit of overtime but might be going out for an Indian afterwards which will be nice!

What does everyone else have planned for their weekend?
