Thank you for your suggestions on my last post, one that came up quite a bit was about my tights, and how do I store my forty odd pairs?
Well, since I had my bedroom re-done I now have a designated tights storage area! I’ll admit, it’s already overflowing, perhaps I *do* have a slight obsession going on.

There is some method in my madness, coloured tights are in one space, patterned in another and black style ones in another. Well, that’s the theory…it doesn’t often work out that way.

Outfit wise, this is an old dress, and old shoes. I’m enjoying being able to wear heels again.

Today’s outfit was thrown together in a fit of frustration. The weather is all over the place and my old staples from this time last year no longer fit the bill.

Dress, £5 Primark
Leggings, New Look
Boots, Office via a lovely blog reader
Vest, New Look via Mum’s wardrobe

I never know what to do with myself on a Monday,
how do you usually fill your time? My current options are crafts, baking, and listing clothes that no longer fit on ebay.

Also, I want to hear from you what you want to see/read more of on the blog. I really want to start trying some new things but so far have come up with zilch! I’m willing to consider (pretty much) anything…

Money Saving and an Outfit

Hello, it’s still early Sunday morning here but I find myself awake drinking peppermint tea and ready to post.
I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend so far? It’s gone bloody cold here but the sun is shining and it’s really quite pleasant outside.

Today’s post is in part, written by the lovely Rhian at moneysupermarket.com, she asked me if she could write a guest post sharing some hints and tips about saving money whilst still being able to treat yourself.

SAVE MONEY USING VOUCHERS

Since the recession a person’s disposable income has been hit, retailers are now realising this and are becoming
more and more competitive with the discounts they are offering. Savvy consumers are making the most of these
discounts to ensure they are getting the best deals. There are a huge range of printable vouchers and online
discount codes available, whether you are considering a big or small purchase there will be a discount to be had.

Here is a selection of some of the great discounts currently available …

New Look
With winter coming it is a great excuse to go shopping and invest in a new winter wardrobe. High street chains
are offering a huge variety of discounts ranging from money off your bill total or a discount off an individual
product. Before ordering or buying anything remember to check what vouchers are available. This has been
made easier with the new Moneysupermarket.com iPhone Vouchers App that allows you to check
discounts on the go. The application uses geolocation technology and can find the best deals in your surrounding
area meaning that it can take just seconds to save you a packet!

Benefit
Make up, creams, nail varnish and hair products I can’t get enough of them, but the costs can soon add up
especially for high end brands. Benefit are a company who’s products I particularly like they currently have a
range of discounts including free delivery on orders over £50 and up to 15% off any orders using a voucher code.

Odeon
I love going to the pictures but find that the costs can soon add up with the price of the tickets, drinks and the
obligatory box of popcorn. Thankfully the Odeon is running a discount offering 40% off the price of cinema tickets.
This discount is available all week, so you are not limited to going just one day a week which is great news.

Pizza Express
Eating out now and again is always a treat, with discount vouchers you need never pay full price again. Pizza
Express is allowing you to get two main meals for £12 when using a printable voucher. Remember to check for
discounts to cut the cost of you bill next time you decide to eat out.

And here is what I wore yesterday. The skirt was £6 from Tu at Sainsburys, and the sequin jumper yet another ward trip purchase from crafted @ republic.

Sometimes you just have to go with comfort over style. Sometimes an outfit is going to be not at all flattering. Sometimes you aren’t going to feel “right” in anything you put on.

Sometimes, like today, you just have to embrace it and chuck on your favourite trousers and stick two fingers up at the negative thoughts.

The floral hareem pants are from Matalan; somewhere I don’t often shop but really should do more. Good prices and some beautiful clothes and shoes (oh god, the shoes!)

Please note the return of stalker cat. In the week since I have been home he’s not left me alone! He was poorly the first few weeks I was, and according to my parents hadn’t seemed right since.
No evidence of that now, the theory is he was playing for sympathy, like many a man I know.

Well, it’s once again Friday…who has plans for the weekend? As far as I know I’m catching up with Best Friend on Sunday, and shall venture to see my grandparents at some point too. Keeping things quiet. For now.
