Day 604- Just A Puppet On A Lonely String

Shoes: Teal suede 'Bedroom Antics' Office

Feeling a bit bleugh today.  I bought this top yesterday because I was in love with the print and the colour.  The only problem being I don't really do tops!  I'm a dress only girl, but that's mostly down to me not being comfortable in anything other than dresses.  On top of that, my skin has been bothering me the past few weeks and alongside a million blemishes (which are thankfully starting to go), I've got really bad dry skin today. I decided against wearing any makeup, other than lipstick/gloss today in order to aid it's recovery!  My hair is a mess and has been for weeks, but it's bugging me now (I'm trying to resist shaving it all off), plus I've been having a 'fat week' rather than 'day', not helped by the fact I put on 3lbs this week.  So all in all, it probably wasn't the best time to be trying something different.  In theory I like the outfit (and would love it on someone else), but in reality I felt like the end of a house!

Wearing:  Black leggings, skirt, hat and blue satin dalmatian top all Primark, cardigan Be Beau at Matalan.
Fit:  I needed a size up in these, 5 3/4" and 1 1/4" platform.
Comfort:  OCD peeps stay away from these, the ribbons nearly drove me insane, I think you just have to let it go the way it wants and resist the urge to have them lying flat and neat.  No other issues.

Day 519 - Totally Turquoise

Shoes: Teal 'Graphic Geek' Irregular Choice

This was a bit of a lazy outfit, but one that worked really well. I spotted these shoes sitting on the floor (still waiting to go back into their box after their last outing) and this dress was hanging on the wardrobe door right above it and the colour match was absolutely spot-on perfect. Although I tend to be reasonably well colour coordinated, I'm never quite matchy-matchy to this degree with my eyeshadow and hair tying in too, but it was a nice, simple outfit that's very comfortable to wear and both pieces are likely to be worn lots throughout autumn/winter.

Wearing: Teal lace dress Chloe Madeley for George at Asda, black leggings and horse print scarf Primark, leopard belt Dorothy Perkins.
Fit: I always size up on split-toe styles. Heel just under 4".
Comfort: No issues with these once your toes are comfortable in the right position.

Day 500 - Irregular Choice Special #27

Shoes: Teal suede 'Graphic Geek' Irregular Choice

Wowee, I didn't realise it was Day 500 today or else I would've celebrated with a super special pair of shoes! I'm getting the hang of using my phone to take photos, even managed a couple of face pics today. I haven't worn this dress for at least a year because it's usually rather tight, but as I've lost some weight recently, it feels much more comfortable. Hands up who loves that adorable cat print!

Wearing: Cat print shift dress Limited Edition at New Look (old), black leggings, cardigan and scarf Primark.
Fit: I always size up on split toe styles and it usually takes a few attempts to get your toes all comfortable and in the right position. Heel just under 4".
Comfort: No issues with these.

Day One Hundred & Seventy Five - Geek!

I love this sumptuous, bright teal shade. I have to go up a full size in split toes from IC and these just fit perfectly. I considered selling them recently because they are a perhaps more subdued style in amongst my zany pairs, but when I tried them on, I couldn't do it-I'm hopeless!

Day One Hundred & Forty Eight - Candyfloss & Frills

I have a mixed feeling to my new hair, I hated it at first, but now I've played around with it, I may be getting used to it. It's much shorter which I quite like and candyfloss pink, but I'm still a little unsure. Got a busy day ahead, so just a quick photo today.

Day Twenty Five - It's Not So Good

This morning it rained, so I decided not to venture out anywhere. By this afternoon though, the sun was out and I changed my mind and headed out for a quick walk. These tights look absolutely hideous on camera (I hope they don't look so bad in real life). I was wearing a navy dress with little orange, green and white flecks on it, so wore these green shoes with it. They look kinda more teal here though, all in all, not a good photo day!

Day Twelve - Bridesmaid Shoes

These are my bridesmaid shoes, my friend bought me for her wedding.  Satin uppers in a lovely turquoise shade with a small platform, peep toe and looped bow detail. They are a little stiff for me right now and definitely need breaking in, which I'm doing by wearing them around the house with socks (too painful without thus far).    Wearing Menbur peep toes and H&M lace tie ankle socks.
