bow peep

This Pearl Lowe for Peacocks dress first caught my eye the day it was launched, but at £40 I just couldn’t justify it.
By after Christmas, temptation peaked as it was reduced to half price, but still I held off. Just as I was really kicking myself for being so cheap, a chance wander past a Peacocks store on Friday led to a quick rummage and I secured the dress for a mere £10. Patience pays, folks…and shopping fate strikes again!

Worn with my trusty Tesco tights and my New Look bargain shoe boots (another fine example of patience paying off) for my first day back at work…which went wonderfully. I do start to question my sanity when I’d rather be at work than at home, but there are so many lovely people to talk to at work, and only myself for company at home.

Tuesday is my standard day off; easing in nice and gently! Mum’s off too so we’re braving the freezing cold and heading in to Cabot Circus to spend the last of our Christmas money.

Hope your week is getting off to a cracking start!
