Blouse c/o Damart
Jeans: Oasis
Shoes: Clarks (last year)
I don’t really own many blouses, it’s only recently that I’ve started being drawn toward them and even more recent than that when I made my first purchase. I remember loving this particular blouse when I posted about Damart’s incredible A/W lookbook a couple of months ago and I was both surprised and delighted when it landed on my doorstep last week (PR surprises = amazing!)
Because I’ve not been in work for a while now I didn’t really fancy styling it in a smart way as I want to save that for when I go back. Instead I stuck on my old faithful Oasis jeans and some neglected Clarks flats and hoped for the best.
It made a nice change to what I usually wear and I felt a bit more put together than I usually do when I wear jeans. I swear it made me more productive too as I covered a lot of ground with blog posts I needed to write. I was also sent one of Damart’s brilliant thermal vests which has been so bloody useful on my slow daily walks to stop my back seizing up.
On the back front things do seem to be slowly improving. My left leg is perhaps a teeny bit less useless and I am standing straighter and taking less painkillers…apparently slow and steady wins the race.
I was also recently sent this fabulous FabricSkin Keyboard Folio from the kind people at Logitech. I’m not really a gadgets person and as much as I love my iPad I did find blogging from it quite frustrating. This handy little thing has changed that. Instead of lugging my laptop around with me I can now blog as easily from my tablet as I can from anywhere else. It works via bluetooth and although I would probably never have made the purchase for myself (purely because I didn’t know it existed) I found myself ridiculously excited about this and extremely grateful to Logitech for bringing it to my attention. Now to stop my Dad stealing it for his iPad!

Hello lovely, I love this look. Wearing a blouse always makes me feel more put together too, even if it’s worn in a casual way like this 🙂 I love your leopard flats, leopard is probably my favourite print! I’m glad to hear you’re feeling a teeny bit better, and I hope you notice more improvements soon. The keyboard sounds like a bit of a lifesaver! I get frustrated with touch screens like on my iphone, I think because I’m quite good at typing and the touch screen just slows everything down. I don’t really have many gadgets, I’m probably a bit of a gadget-phobe! xxx
what a lovely blouse! I so need animal print shoes in my life x
