Day 929 - I'll Carry You, When You Need A Friend

Shoes: Floral tapestry 'Ablaze' ASOS 

I am so ridiculously behind with posts here this week. The plus side of that is, I'm able to edit them and post them as frequently as is possible now and with it supposed to rain over the next two days, I'll hopefully get caught up. There's some good ones to come and this one is from Tuesday. Mum and I went shopping, not for anything exciting, just to get out. I came home with a black cardigan and some cat leggings for my friends little girl!  I'm able to accept summer is over, but I'm still a little tentative of rushing into winter tights and coats and things! This is my 'transitional' look (gosh I kinda hate that phrase), of bare legs with boots and socks. It worked well that day and actually I wore another variation of it today.  I have to mention my gold manicure ring here (not to be confused with a 'nail ring' which I used to have loads of-fyi a 'pierced' nail really freaks people out for some reason); anyway I've had this snake one for a couple of years and almost completely forgot about it.  It fits my pinky perfectly and felt very secure, it's definitely my favourite thing right now.

Wearing:  Black midi dress and waterfall cardigan Primark, lace socks gift, frog ring and skull pearl necklace Miss Selfridge, manicure ring New Look, mouse ring Accessorize, other rings my Grannys, nude quilted bag Love Moschino.
Fit: True to size, 5 3/4" heel and 1 1/4" platform, lace-up front.
Comfort: Very comfortable and a nice steady base to walk on.

Day 928 - Shouldn't Let You Conquer Me Completely

Shoes: Black spot 'Chuckles' Irregular Choice 

Been slammed this week, so I apologise for the lack of posts and delay in getting this outfit up. I'd been teasing you with the makeup on facebook, but last night finished that post, which you can see here. Obviously the makeup wasn't a regular thing, but for Monster High Monday! I was fully prepared to wear it outside though, maybe sneaking on some sunglasses, however I got rained off! Annoying, after spending so much time getting ready! I was disappointed too because I was wearing my gnome heels for the first time. The day started off sunny and lovely, but got more and more dull as it progressed. I'd had to go out and take some photos of our house before the renovations start and so I wore the shoes for literally two minutes, then it started chucking it down and I retreated inside. I'll pop some more photos of these shoes up on my Facebook page later.  

Wearing:  Turquoise floral dress Dorothy Perkins, black leggings Primark, black cardigan Bonmarche.  
Fit:  Very small and tight fitting, so I sized up.  4 1/2" heel, velcro strap fastening.
Comfort:  Once I'd stretched them a bit with thick socks, they feel quite comfortable now, although I haven't worn them for a lengthy period.   

Day 927 - She Looks Like A Model, Except She's Got A Little More Ass

Shoes: Lilac and green globe 'Lady Dragon' Vivienne Westwood Anglomania & Melissa 

There I was thinking I was pretty smart putting this dress with these shoes (and the cardi) and then I look back and find I wore the exact same thing in August last year! Silly me! I'm so excited that the weather is lovely again and it was properly warm today! I feel I haven't worn these shoes all that much during summer (because they were lost for some time) and wanted to wear it with a dress I could wear bare legged. I toyed with wearing a different dress and leggings and probably should have as it was rather gusty outside. This dress hits below the knee and I wore an underskirt, but still, I'm pretty sure I flashed once or twice! I was getting all flustered trying to hold everything down!

Wearing: Lilac spot midi dress Dorothy Perkins, leopard print cardigan Be Beau at Matalan, bunny hair bows Yama Yama Pretty Mama, Mischief sunglasses Irregular Choice.
Fit: True to size, 4 1/4" heel, adjustable slingback.
Comfort: Very comfy

Day 926 - It's Our Party We Can Do What We Want

Shoes: Black wedge 'Superstar' Bertie 

With my Monster High Monday makeup yesterday, I decided to keep that bright theme going into my outfit with these Barbie leggings.  As much as I love them, I struggle to find dresses (I own) that work well with them.  The majority of mine are already printed and/or too long to wear with leggings.  I did have on my maxi dress with sheer black skirt originally, but I didn't like it so changed into this dip hem one last minute.  Can't say I was enthralled with it either, but I loved my Bertie boots with the leggings.  Then again, they make everything look fierce!  I really needed to wash my hair but had to wait in for a parcel, so that's why it's all tied up (and looking very dishevelled after my wee walk in the sunglasses pic).  Weather wise, we've had a bit of a reprieve since the wintry weekend and it's brightened which is pleasant.    

Wearing:  Heart print dip hem dress Primark, Barbie leggings Miss Selfridge, cardigan Bonmarche, Fafi scarf MAC, Mischief sunglasses Irregular Choice.
Fit: True to size, back zip so you don't have to adjust the buckles every time. 4 3/4" wedge heel.
Comfort: No issues with these.

Day 925 - I Am Swimming In An Ocean All Alone

Shoes: Pink 'Got The Hump' Dan Sullivan 

I had the hygienist on Thursday (ooh the excitement), so got 'properly' dressed.  Safe to say these shoes went down a treat and were the topic of much of the conversation (why do they insist on yapping when you've got your mouth full with their hands etc?).  My dentist has just relocated to the local hospital, so I felt all out of sorts in the new environment.  It's so clinical and not at all homely like it used to be.  No doubt I'll get used to it as I seem to be there often enough!  Between blog stuff (ugh to editing photos) and boring home stuff (preparing for renovations on our house), I've been so busy this week and really feel like it's catching up to me.  I've been absolutely shattered and so so tired.  I'm not sleeping very well (not helped that we 'lost' a spider next to my bed a few nights ago), so I feel like I just need some time to chill, but there is no time for that unfortunately!  Anyway Thursday was the last time I got dressed, which is usually an indication my life is getting stressy.  Does anyone else feel like it suddenly turned into winter too?  X-Factor on TV last night, festive sweets now in shops (I kid you not) and we're seriously considering putting the heating on (yeah it's getting cold).  On that depressing thought, I'll leave you with peep toes and summer colours, brrrr!

Wearing:  Floral dress Red Herring at Debenhams, cardigan Bonmarche, leggings Primark, pink floral charming bag Love Moschino, lipstick brooch Miss Selfridge, pink fox ring gift, peacock ring River Island.
Fit: True to size. 6" heel and 1 1/2" platform.
Comfort: No issues with these.
