back to it

So, that’s it then folks; the festive season is done and dusted and for most of us it is back to the working world today…for me this includes by 7:15am start which makes me die a little inside.

I can’t even remember which day this outfit was from, they all seem to have merged in to one over the break…potentially it was Saturday though, not that it matters. The dress was a sales steal from Zara well over a year ago, the tights and boots are both from New Look.

How was NYE for everyone? I can’t remember the last time I actually felt like celebrating, but in the company of two of my most favourite people with wine, prosecco, smoked venison (posh!), scrabble and err..grapes I had an amazing time welcoming in the new year. 2013 got off to wonderful start too with an epic roast dinner and a chilled out day doing pretty much nothing.

Well, by the time you read this I shall be at work (hurrah for scheduling posts the night before) but I’m wishing you a wonderful day…try not to dread it…it’s a short week to ease us back in if nothing else!

  2. Well, I spent mine watching Julie And Julia. I really don’t like NYE, but it was quite nice this way:)
