10.02 outfit and haircut

Hello, mid-week again…somehow. How are we all? Surviving I hope?

Sunny day today, cold, but I’m going nowhere so less layers required in my outfit. I’m so sick of wearing five or six layers, spring really cant come fast enough.

with cardigan.

And yesterday I had my first hair cut in over 18months. I hate having my hair messed with and as a consequence it was far too long and out of control!
eight or nine inches later and I have something I can deal with

It feels so good, and so light! My hairdresser straightened it for me, but I am queen of low fuss hair, and look forward to experimenting with messier ways of wearing it down!

Right,
off to do something productive, like working on my course!

08.02 more colour and an award

Good morning, Happy Monday; hope you survived the weekend! What are your plans for this week? Anything exciting on the horizon?

We’re expecting another “big freeze” later this week, so I’m making the most of the currently tolerable temperatures and embracing colour again.
Not that our big freezes are anything like those in the USA (and other countries) and this time I doubt it’ll be more than a slight flurry of snow!

This top is a Primark find, and the last thing left unworn from my shopping trip a couple of weeks ago. I’m clearly taken with the nude colour trend for spring, and added pastel tights that I had forgotten I owned.

Starting afresh with my tag and award resolution, Florrie has awarded me with this

Photobucket

So I have to tell you all ten things about me and then pass the award on to ten other bloggers.

1) I used to be quite a party animal and always the first to pass out drunk. Now I prefer quiet nights in and never touch alcohol. Does that make me boring? Perhaps so, but I am much more content.
2) I have a thing against vowels and even numbers, they make me feel uncomfortable for some reason.
3) I am a total bookworm and a fast reader.
4) Although I’m very girly now, a few years ago I was more in to Judo, Kayaking and all kinds of outdoors adventure things. I’d still do it now if I had the chance.
6) I’m shy, especially around new people, but once I warm to you, you’ll have trouble shutting me up.
7) I am addicted to butternut squash.
8) I find Topshop hideously expensive and way out of my budget, so I pretend I don’t like the shop so I don’t get too sad about never being able to afford anything!
9) I have an awful short term memory but can remember the most insignificant little details about past events.
10) I get utterly random and insatiable food cravings from time to time. Past oddities have included bananas with dairylea “cheese”, and pineapple chunks dipped in ketchup. A great source of amusement to my friends.

Now, I’m meant to tag 10 bloggers but truly, I cannot narrow it down. So, if you want to do this, then consider yourself loved and awarded! I look forward to reading your answers.

Haircut tomorrow. I have NO idea what I’m going to end up with!

05.02 colour

Woke up this morning to the sun shining for what feels like the first time in ages, so I decided it was about time I injected a little more colour in to my outfit and dug out the brightest tights I could find.

I also decided to make the most of the ground being dry and ditched the boots in favour of something a bit more girly and delicate.

Roll on spring!

03.02 softly

Mid-week, what is on your agenda? For me it’s studying for my course, I’m quite enjoying it so it isn’t too much of a chore.

Today I am wearing another of last weeks purchases, this nude dress from Zara. It is so insanely comfortable, much like my grey one and will be wearable throughout spring and summer (if they ever arrive)
