velveteen

I have a bit of an obsession with all things velvet at the moment so when I saw this skirt on Missguided at a bargain price I couldn’t not order it. To be honest, for the price I wasn’t expecting greatness but this is one of hte nicest skirts I own, the fit and length is wonderful and it’s super comfy. I paired it up with one of my ASOS cat jumpers and called it an outfit for an afternoon at home.

This week is coming along nicely, my brother is home and we’re catching up, eating out and generally chilling. I’m starting to feel like socialising more and I have a couple of evenings out coming up including going to see Ellie’s pupils in their school production tonight…exciting.

I’m off work next week and hope to have some fun, crutches or not. Physio session later and maybe, just maybe I can ditch the wretched sticks. I’m itching to get active again, to walk and be independent. I’m almost tempted to say “sod it” and walk through the pain in my own special way!

Before all that though, a morning in the office beckons. I’ve said this before but I do love my workplace, it never feels like a chore to go in and do a shift or two; even when I moan or we have a really demanding day you leave ready for the next one…I’m so grateful to the surgery for the chance they took on me.

Catch you tomorrow loves, for FRIDAY FEVER!

  1. Enjoy your week off – I could do with one of those! : )

  2. Love the outfit, looks comfy and cosy (I’m all about textures lol)

    The comment you made about feeling more sociable made me smile so much. That was my favourite part of getting my life back, no more sitting at home feeling ill or down whilst my friends were out enjoying themselves. It snowballs once you get going with it, you’ll be a social butterfly soon 🙂 xxx

  12. The jumper is amazing! I really want to inject a bit of velvet into my wardrobe, I just find the lack of stretch makes it so hard to fit properly, some parts end too tight and others too baggy! xx

  13. Such a cute jumper! I hope your crutches days are nearly over.

    It’s good to hear of other people finding their place and enjoying their workplace. I’ve had one of the worst months of upset, but I’m beginning to feel a little more open about new opportunities and vow not to ever give up trying to find that break xxx

  14. This is such a cute outfit! Hope you have a fab time off work, it’s so great that you’re feeling more like socialising! xxx

  15. Ohh I’ve been thinking about getting that jumper for a while but now I think I might have to… Haha
