Day 944 - Looking Fly With That Sun Dress On


Shoes: Black spot 'Chuckles' Irregular Choice 

It's unusual that I make it out on a Sunday, don't know why, but it never seems to happen. I did today and I dug out this dress, because for some reason I've not worn it as much as I thought I would. It's quite short in the body and I feel the waist sits too high (just under my bust), so it's not very comfortable. I tried to lengthen it by adding this belt and making my own 'waist', ignoring where the seam sits. I added another cardi over the top to go out as it was chilly again-I passed a woman wearing a huge chunky knit scarf and large fluffy ear-muffs and I know many will think I'm mental for not wearing a coat, but all I could think was "what's she going to wear in December when it's really cold?"

Wearing: Blue floral dress and black leggings Primark, patent belt taken from another dress, hair flower ASOS.
Fit: Very small and tight fitting, so I sized up. 4 1/2" heel, velcro strap fastening.
Comfort: No issues with these.

Day 943 - I Wish This Could Be A Happy Song


Shoes: Green striped platforms 'Rosy' Irregular Choice (by Rosanna Gault)

Hello chickadees, how are you all this weekend? Today I went on a mission to wear a pair of shoes I hadn't for ages. I came up with these fabulous heart-hole heeled courts! I'm not sure when I last wore them, but it's definitely been a while. Like yesterday, I'm wearing a bargain £8 dress, one of the newer ones my Mum picked up for me last week. I feel like I'm really finding my stride with my hair now, it usually takes a day or two to get comfortable with it and find what colours work best both clothing and makeup wise.  I'm not actually a fan of the colour blue, but I'm really loving my hair this shade.  The colour is just so vivid and I like that it's darker for winter.  It was pretty chilly this afternoon, so I'm thinking boots are on the horizon...and a coat, brrr.

Wearing: Floral dress and leggings Primark, black cardigan Red Herring.
Fit: True in length, a little tight across the foot. 5 1/4" heel and 1" platform.
Comfort: The high cut vamp can press into the foot, but otherwise ok.

Day 942 - Incompatible, It Don't Matter Though


Shoes: Green suede 'Dolly Mixture' Irregular Choice 

Yesterday was excitement central with a trip to the doctors. I'm kidding of course! It was soooo cold, that I ended up wearing two cardigans and a scarf and was warm enough, but you could feel the bitter wind, brrrr. Today my eyelids are slightly stained from this amazing Lancome pencil! I wore it right up to the crease for a really bright pop of colour as I liked the contrast against my blue hair. So yes it's awesome, but does stain. I was a mish-mash of green actually, not all matching, but I wasn't trying to.  I'm loving these £8 Primark bargain dresses, so pretty and so cheap. I now own 6 of the most recent styles in different prints.  I took three photos of the close-up of my necklace and it wasn't until it came to editing them that I realised his head was stuck down my dress in them all!  I apologise for the rude pony!

Wearing:  Green print dress and leggings Primark, cardigan Red Herring, black patent belt taken from another dress, horse scarf gift, horse necklace Topshop, emerald and midi ring my Grannys, green ring Mawi, other ring (taken from a set) Miss Selfridge.  
Fit: True to size, 3 1/4" heel.
Comfort: No issues with these.

Day 941 - When She Dances, She Moves Me To A Smile


Shoes: Green 'Petrisha' Irregular Choice 

I had a complete mental block when it came to remembering the name of these shoes. I had to do some digging through my archives to find them! It's been some time since I wore them, but now that it's turned (bitterly) cold, I'm trying to find heavier shoes like these. I feel like I'm in a bit of a rut shoe-wise currently, permanently rotating the same 'few' pairs. I replaced my winter shoes and boots with summer ones in Spring, but now I really don't want to go to the trouble of switching back. I thought I'd have my shoe room almost sorted by now and recall switching pairs into the wrong boxes because I was exhausted at the time and so now have no idea where anything is. Plus anything that involves 'shoe-mountain' always seems to unearth hidden spiders, so I'm a bit dubious about digging around in there. Unless I want to wear peep toed jellies in the snow though, I'm going to have to! It'll be nice to think that next time the seasons change, I'll have an easier time of it and won't have to do any digging at all. Anyway, I love these shoes even if they aren't the comfiest. The inners are quite scratchy and sometimes my arches ache, but they are so easy to walk in and look ridiculously cool, plus I love that colour.

Wearing: Neon floral dress H By Henry Holland, leggings and cardigan Primark, belt Swan by Clements Ribeiro.
Fit: Small, I needed a size-up. Heel just under 5 1/2" with a 2" platform.
Comfort: A good solid base to walk on.

Day 940 - You Couldn't Keep Your Hands To Yourself


Shoes: Pink glitter 'Antibes' Carvela 

I've had two 12 hour colds in the past week or so (random and weird or what?) but the third attempt seems to have stuck. It's not overly bad; started with a blocked nose/unable to breathe but has now turned into a sore throat and I feel weakened and tired with it. I've not been very regular in getting dressed and going out, so really tried to get back into my routine yesterday despite the cold. It called for oodles of girly sparkles with these pink courts! Sometimes you just need glitter. Have I worn this dress before? I know I've attempted many times and always change because I feel uncomfortable in it, but it felt looser this time. It's cute, just not a great fit for me. Anyway, with the strong winds we've been getting, it was all blown up around my head yesterday! Err not really kidding ; ) Oh and I almost forgot to mention the new blue hair!! I just dyed it on Monday and absolutely loooove it, what do you think? 

Wearing: Blue stripe daisy dress H By Henry Holland, suede leggings Primark, pink bow brooch gift.
Fit: Slim fit, but take your usual size. 4 1/2" heel.
Comfort: Mine are a size larger and they are slightly too big, would fit better with insoles.
