Day 1252 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Vargas elevated | Vivienne Westwood 

If I threw you a curveball last week with the (almost) flat Irregular Choice Booyah, then you'll feel much more at home with these high heels and big platforms.  When I got these shoes last month, they immediately went onto my favourites list, I absolutely love them.  They'd been on my radar, but I hadn't been keeping a close eye on them until the sales started.  Luckily for me, the place that had them the cheapest and still in my size, made further reductions just days later, so there was no hesitation, I bought them right away.  They were the last pair and have since gone in most sizes elsewhere, so I was very lucky.  I actually own these on Stardoll and wear them a lot there, which was what made me look them up again.  It always makes me weirdly satisfied when my virtual me and the real me own the same clothes! 

Day 1238 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Little Red | Irregular Choice 

Last week I shared the very Easter looking Hop To It from several years back and today I have something a little more recent, from AW21. I personally love this heel. It's a very old shape which was reintroduced about 5 years ago and continues to be used in the current collection on the likes of Fleur de Lis and Go Fish. There's been a slight modification, in that the curves are more pronounced now, which only makes it better in my opinion. The inside edges of the heel tip though are actually rather sharp, so be careful on textured (looped) rugs or carpets, that you don't get hooked and caught up in it.

Day 1030 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Blue tartan 'Heather' Irregular Choice 

Hello, I'm back-sorry for leaving it so long between posts! I mentioned back in May that I fell sick on my birthday (it was horrible) and I've really been struggling to recover. The sicky feeling eventually left me and I slowly got back to eating, but my energy and concentration levels were nil. Usually I'm itching to get blogging, but I couldn't face sitting at a computer all day or muster up any energy or inspiration for writing, editing or even reading blogs. It's really not pleasant when you're unable to do anything, but that's the way it's been.  I took a proper time-out and have to admit, I didn't miss it one little bit (sorry)! Blogging and the online community is such a huge part of my life, so I feel like I should force myself back into it though. That sounds worse than the reality, I'm trying to prepare in advance and do little bits at a time, easing myself in, because of course, I'm very much aware that if I do too much, I'll be back at square one. Constant battle!  Anyway.

Day 882 - If You Really Love Me, Then Why Are You Leavin' Me?

Shoes: Green suede 'Dolly Mixture' Irregular Choice 

A double outfit post today from last weekend. If you'd like to know what I've been up to, I wrote a more detailed explanation in this post today (it's quite funny and pathetic at the same time, plus you get to see my pressies!). It was my birthday last Friday, so as I was alone most of the day, my sister and I decided to do something on the Saturday instead. We went to see Epic and it was great, other than trying to hide in the dark from my older sisters brother-in-law and wife and kids (long story). I had to rush taking photos beforehand and never got round to taking any afterwards, so it wasn't until I began editing them that I realised I had little decent material to work with! My doctor gave me new treatment gel which has left my face completely over-sensitised to anything and makeup and moisturiser touching my face burns and stings like mad (it's really rather sore). So between applying E45 to calm the burn and trying not to wear too much makeup, I looked a little worse for wear and shiny...I was sure I looked better in the flesh, but maybe that was wishful thinking ; )

Wearing:  Parrot dip hem dress Dorothy Perkins, cardigan Bonmarche, frog/flower ring Evans, parrot ring Miss Selfridge, striped logo bag Love Moschino, flower hair comb Yama Yama Pretty Mama.
Fit: True to size, 3 1/4" heel.
Comfort: No issues with these.

Shoes: Blue tartan 'Heather' Irregular Choice 

On my actual birthday, like I said, I was home alone, dressed in my pj's, when my sister called to say she was coming home and we should do something. Eek! It was such a lovely sunny day (and how infrequent have they been lately?) that I did want to go out, I just didn't have much energy. So I got ready in 10 minutes, literally. I can do that...apparently, which makes me wonder why it takes so long usually?! So my outfit was not planned or anything special, it was the first thing I saw and it was completely non-birthday-ish, but I snapped it anyway!  Tomorrow you'll get to see my cute-as-pie outfit, that was birthday-special that nobody saw, because my friend stood me up, sad face!

Wearing: Cat face maxi dress ASOS, green beaded cardigan Primark.
Fit: Slightly roomy in my regular size. 4" heel.
Comfort: No issues with these.

Day 860 - I Can Feel The Magic Floating In The Air

Shoes: Blue tartan 'Heather' Irregular Choice 

Hello! Spring is here or at least I hope it is. Saturday (this outfit) was a lovely day and I went out without a coat, wowee! After such a strange 'winter' any bit of sun is appreciated and I'm trying to take advantage of it where possible. I was colouring my hair at the weekend (first time since mid-January believe it or not), so prepped on Friday with a nice hot shower and a haircut including a micro-fringe Suri Cruise would be proud of! I bleached my hair after these pics, then did the colour on Sunday. I tried something different from a mixture of bottles I had lying around rather than buying new dye. I had the dental hospital today so have been busy with that, but hopefully tomorrow I shall unveil the new colour!

Wearing: Polka dot midi-dress and swallow cardigan Dorothy Perkins, navy fishnet tights House of Holland, boat print scarf Primark, Minimal Baroque sunglasses Prada.
Fit: Slightly roomy in my regular size. 4" heel.
Comfort: No issues with these.

Day 832 - That Would Be Like Pouring Rain Drops Back Into A Cloud

Shoes: Blue tartan 'Heather' Irregular Choice 

Hello, I'm a little later tonight with this post as I've been sorting through images all day, trying to prioritise upcoming posts!  I felt like a lot of colour today and this dress never disappoints, it's so vivid and fun!  I have to admit it was a little tighter across the chest than it used to be given I've gained some weight since last summer, but it was still comfortable enough.  These shoes looked great with it, picking out some colours without being too matchy-matchy.  When I was out on my walk, this old man on a bike passed me, took one look and started chuckling out loud all along the road.  There was nobody else around so he must have been laughing at me or else he's a little loopy-loo and just laughs out loud at nothing.  Oh well glad I cheered him up, even if he was laughing at me rather than with me!

Wearing: Fish print dress, suede leggings and coat all Primark, cardigan Bonmarche, Mischief sunglasses Irregular Choice.
Fit: Slightly roomy in my regular size. 4" heel.
Comfort: No issues with these.

Day 721 - And Blessings Are Missed In The Wink Of An Eye

Shoes: Blue tartan 'Heather' Irregular Choice 

Photobucket was playing up again yesterday and wouldn't upload any images-I was soo annoyed after bothering to get dressed and take the photos as I couldn't do anything with them! Usually I don't manage to post at weekends because I'm busy with eBay and spend it in my jammies (like today), but after showering for what felt like an eternity (it was so warm I didn't want to move), I decided it was a pleasant enough day to get some fresh air. It was super windy actually but sunny too and an excuse to wear a summery dress with bare legs while I still can!

Wearing: Navy spot dress Uttam, boat cardigan Peacocks, glitter sea-themed vest (worn underneath) H By Henry Holland, London scarf River Island, Baroque Minima sunglasses Prada.
Fit: Slightly roomy in my regular size. 4" heel.
Comfort: No issues with these.

Day 683 - It's So Out Of Line To Try To Turn Back Time

Shoes: Blue tartan 'Heather' Irregular Choice 

Another day where I thankfully managed to escape the rain, it's been quite pleasant to get a few half-way decent, dry days!  This is the dress I picked up in the River Island sale the other day.  I didn't expect it to fit given that it was only a 16, but it's very comfortable and was only a tenner, bargain! These shoes I have wanted for sooo long and finally snagged them on eBay.  The colours are just perfect for this dress too, which was rather freaky.

Wearing: Yellow floral sundress River Island, leggings Primark, cardigan Be Beau at Matalan, turquoise hair bows H&M, bunny bow Yama Yama Pretty Mama, flower clips Debenhams.
Fit: Slightly roomy in my regular size. 4" heel.
Comfort: No issues with these.
