contrast

Over the past few months I have become more accepting of casual wear. I used to feel like I had to dress up every day or something terrible would happen; but actually I quite enjoy the comfort of a pair of jeans and a simple sweater and have started to embrace it more.

Case in point, yesterday:

These jeans were an absolute bargain from a Next clearance store, I believe they were £5. The sweater is from New Look…I’m still devoted to that shop.

Today was back to dresses though, the dress I am wearing is my new favourite. A sales buy from Monsoon Fusion, the colour and print make me so happy.

You probably can’t see it clearly but the print is little apples.

Well, back to fashion…I’m still terribly behind on both NY and London fashion week, its a bit beyond my comprehension to be thinking of Summer when I still haven’t decided on my Winter wardrobe! Top of my wish list for this season is this cutwork leather skirt from Oasis

Well, that’s me done. I’m off to find a bank to rob to pay for aforemention skirt.

P.S. thank you so much for the incredibly sweet comments

back at it

So, my first post-hospital outfit post. Dressing is tricky right now, I’m having to re-learn what fits and suits my new shape. I’m trying to look at is as a good thing, another challenge and the perfect excuse to go shopping.

The dress is from New Look, I bought it on Saturday for the grand sum of £6. The clogs are also new, purhcased on a ward trip, also £6 but from Primark this time.

Did everyone have a good weekend? What did you get up to? Mine involved a lot of un-packing and a lot of lazing on the sofa watching TV with my parents.
I don’t think it has sunk in that I am home just yet…but each day as it comes, right?

Who has exciting plans for this week? Inspire me! Mine so far consists of catching up with LFW and blogs.

Just a really quick post to say I am home! Home home home, for good. It’s so surreal and I now face the daunting task of unpacking…my tights took up a bag of their own!

Give me a few days to settle and I’ll be a regular fixture on the blogging circuit once more.

Suprise!

My discharge date has been moved forward to this Friday

…there are no words!

An Outfit

I’ve been hesitating in posting a proper outfit photo, but finally seem to have the balls to do so.
Coming to terms with a completley alien body is a mammoth task, and I feel as part of it I have lost my sense of style, dressing for camoflauge and comfort and foregoing style.

But here we are. An old faithful dress that has been unworn so far this summer. I need to do some major clothes shopping once I am discharged, there has been little point up till now, and although everything I had before is wearable, it looks and feels different and largely gets ignored.

It’s been another lovely weekend. Beautiful weather and time with family go hand in hand.
Yesterday I spent in my hometown, pottering. Today Mum, Dad and myself headed to Matalan where I purchased (or rather Dad did) a pair of floral harem pants.

I hope everyone else has had a great weekend as well,
I look forward to catching up properly from next weekend.
