Day 918 - All This Time We Were Waiting For Each Other

Shoes: Green suede 'Dolly Mixture' Irregular Choice 

I'm back into the swing of things today, after feeling a bit bleugh this weekend. I felt sleepy, weak and nauseous, so none of those things bode well with blogging and getting dressed! I'm feeling much better now and decided that it was time for Monster High Monday to come back! Having my nephews here every Monday during the school holidays meant that I had no time to get dressed or do makeup. However, I had the house to myself today and although I was a little rusty, I got stuck in. I'm still getting used to the new hair colour as well so there was an added challenge with that. I've also been mega guilty of being stuck in a rut makeup wise (a good rut really because I like what I've been doing), but a rut nonetheless, so doing anything other than a smudged eye line felt weird!  Anyway I think I'll finish the MHM post tomorrow as I've been too busy tonight and think I'm gonna start watching that Under The Dome thing on Channel 5 (only thing putting me off is that new Detective from CSI: NY is in it and I've taken a huge instant dislike to her)!  

Wearing: Ballerina print dress Pearl Lowe at Peacocks, leggings Primark.
Fit: True to size, 3 1/4" heel.
Comfort: No issues with these.

Day 917 - How Can I Love When I'm Afraid To Fall

Shoes: Amethyst globe 'Lady Dragon' Vivienne Westwood Anglomania & Melissa 

Bet you weren't expecting this as my next hair colour were you? I kinda feel like I've been transported back five years...it's really strange being pink again! Some of my newer readers may be wondering why I was ever called 'Pink Haired Princess' in the first place though! I'm not going into the details of the colour too much in this post (I'm preparing a full post for Pink Haired Princess), but you'll probably know I was banned from using Atomic Pink again after the staining issues, hence my revolving rainbow head of colours since then. This time it's a mix of pink and purple and it's a bit of an experiment, so I'll divulge all later. I am so impressed my boobs still fit this dress, as I recall it being rather tight in that region and it's been ages since I last wore it. Once I rescued all my summer clothes in the big clear-out, the weather got slightly miserable and I hardly left the house (!), so I was thankful of a nice day today (the tidy up hasn't been completely wasted then). Aren't these shoes just the perfect colour for my hair too?

Day 916 - You Change Your Mind, Like A Girl Changes Clothes

Shoes: Pewter sandals Miu Miu 

As you can probably tell, lunch with my friend last week took it's toll. I haven't been out of the house since. It's a bit frustrating, but my health is just a mess right now and I have to roll with it. However I did manage to get out today as our town is host to a street fair for a few days, with market stalls and funfair rides taking over the town centre (these huge rides are plonked smack bang in the middle of the road between all the old buildings, with the streets closed to traffic). It's one of the oldest markets of it's kind in Europe dating back to medieval times. When I was little it was this amazing big event that signified the end of the school holidays, but it's kinda lost it's magic now. Anyway, history lesson over, although I didn't totally feel up to it, I haven't been for years and rather than wait yet another year (it's the last day today), we popped down for a wee nosey. It's quite hard for me to get to when in the wheelchair, cobbled streets, lots of people and obstacles do not mix. It was dry though (Mum got soaked taking my nephews yesterday) so I got up and dressed quickly. I'm wearing the same shoes I wore in the last post, purely because they were still sitting out! Despite only being out for an hour, I'm already hardly able to move, so I doubt I'll get out much this week either. However, my hair is straight today in preparation for me colouring it (much to the amusement of my sister this morning, who laughed at my pathetic, wispy, flat hair-although I did manage a wee beehive as you can see), so hopefully I'll get that done this week. I'm quite excited as it's been so bleugh lately and a colour refresh always makes me feel better.

Comfort: Generally pretty comfortable and easy to walk in.

Day 915 - I Promise I'm Not Trying To Make Your Life Harder

Shoes: Pewter sandals Miu Miu

At very short notice, my old friend from Uni announced that she was coming to visit. I haven't seen her in at least 10 years, although we keep in touch via Facebook and with cards and presents on birthdays, Christmas etc, so I was really excited that she was able to come and see me. I can remember her being one of the first people (outside of the girls on my floor at the Halls) that I met and luckily it turned out she was in my class (nobody else on my floor was, which may not sound strange to some, but our Uni was very small and the rest of the girls were split between two courses and already had buddies to start the first day with and I was stressing that I knew nobody!).  Before I'd even properly spoken to her, I knew we'd be friends and she became my closest classmate.  I didn't have the bond with her that I had with my flatmates (we were like sisters), but we share a lot of interests and tastes, so she's always been really easy to get along with and yesterday was no different.   I was absolutely exhausted by the end of the day (we went out for a very long lunch) as we talked constantly and she's slightly mental (always has been) and giggles almost non-stop, which can be annoying and yet contagious! I haven't laughed so much in years, my face actually hurt!  I'm paying for it today (and last night) with headaches and pain all over, but sometimes you just have to push yourself, if it's a one-off thing and it meant I got to feel a little 'normal' for the day.

Day 914 - I Am Flattered By Your Fascination With Me

Shoes: Floral 'Kim Oh No' Irregular Choice 

I feel it's been quite some time since I wore these shoes.  They used to never be off my feet! They were a complete last minute decision with this outfit and to be honest I didn't like them with it. I wanted to wear my pink satin Miu Miu's or something in plain bright pink or green to pick out the colours in the t-shirt.  Those shoes seemed hard to find and this box was staring me right in the face and I figured they deserved an airing.  If you look closely the green in the shoes and green in the top clash badly (then add my hair into the mix), but hey for a 10 minute walk I wasn't caring!  Height wise they were perfect with the skirt as they kept it off the ground and I wasn't constantly tripping over it or gathering it up to avoid that!

Wearing:  Horse t-shirt H By Henry Holland, leopard print maxi skirt Primark and pink belt taken from another skirt, Minimal Baroque sunglasses Prada.
Fit: True to size, just over 1" platform and 5" heel.
Comfort: No issues with these.
