almost there

So close to the weekend now, who’s excited?
What are your plans for Halloween? I’m working for 3 hours in the morning, then off to a friend’s house in the evening for a catch up/girly sleepover. Not very spooky, but some much needed time spent with good friends.

Thank you to everyone who has wished me well this week and left lovely comments. I really and truly appreciate it, and wanted you to know you’ve helped, and this week *did* get better.

This is what I wore yesterday for a dentist appointment and coffee with Mum
I was never much a fan of denim shorts with tights, but I’m now a convert

And today I put together two “difficult” pieces from my wardrobe; things I never normally think to wear because there are some what awkward to pair up with other items.

Well that’s that.
I have a lipbalm review coming up soon, and hopefully some photos from tomorrow night.

Ooh, UK readers, who else managed to nab a Giles Deacon scarf via the Caramel Bunny?

half way

Half way through another week, and after a rubbish couple of days, I’m hoping the second half gets better.

Outfit wise, nothing you haven’t seen before. I’m getting a bit sick of the repetition of what I wear, but with little money for new clothes, what’s a girl to do?

Thank you for the wonderful comments on my last post,
they really put a smile on my face.

letting the skirt do the talking

Hello, and Happy Monday.
I am having the worst possible day *screams*
so I do hope everyone else is having a somewhat better start to the week.

Thankfully I took photos before my mood turned sour,
my outfit today contains the most black I have worn in quite some time, but with a skirt this patterned, I thought it needed to speak for itself.

I did wear a tuxedo jacket (also black) when I went out,
oddly its not all that cold right now, or at least, I’m not…so I was pretty comfortable.
(Normally I’m the one with her winter coat on from September 1st)

What’s everyone up to this week?
A quiet one for me, rounding off with a Halloween get together with friends on Saturday night.

Brights

In contrast to my last two outfits which were distinctly grey, both yesterday and today I have opted for splashes of bright colours, mainly in the form of tights.
I was thinking back to when I first bought a pair of coloured tights; perhaps two years ago?
Anyway, I was so terrified of wearing them and drawing attention to myself, but now, I just don’t care.

Yesterday involved coffee and wanderings with Mum, and getting soaked by a torrential downpour.
I am SO over this weather.

Today I have a quiet day planned, and a major urge to de-clutter my bedroom, which is very unlike me. But still, I can do that and catch up with the Masterchef final at the same time.

Apologies for the super lame poses, anyone else find it REALLY hard to know how to stand when taking photos?

I believe I have a quiet weekend ahead too, same as always in Laura land. But I don’t mind, quiet is good and with Strictly and X-factor on TV, I’m quite happy to be lazy, staying warm and dry.

What do your weekend plans involve?

Other than TV, I work tomorrow morning, and then perhaps I’ll do a bit more Christmas shopping, or some crafts.
