Day 966 - Now's Your Moment, Floating In A Blue Lagoon

Shoes: Red 'Time For Teddy' Irregular Choice 

There was a while a couple of months ago where I wasn't sure if my lipstick challenge would make it to 100 weeks or my outfits here would reach 1000 posts first. I've been a bit sporadic with getting dressed and posting here lately, so it's my weekly challenge that has reached it's goal first. Still another month or so before Day 1000, so it'll definitely be 2014. Scary stuff! Here's one of the little mermaid tanks I bought ages ago but haven't worn yet. The 'Kiss The Girl' scene which happens to be one of my favourite moments in the film (although I could kick those damn eels for ruining it)! I'm old enough to remember Peter Andre singing this the first time round (my friend and I pressed rewind on the VHS to watch his quivering lip far too many times) and now it's like it never happened, as with every new DVD release comes some hip, Disney teeny bopper trying to 'rock out' to some strange version of Kiss The Girl. I've never been too fussed on Peter Andre, but his version will always be my favourite.

Wearing: Ariel Little Mermaid tank Hot Topic, black brocade pencil skirt, grey tights and polka dot coat Primark, cardigan Red Herring at Debenhams.
Fit: True to size, teddy attaches with studs and is removed here. 3 1/4" heel (as low as I dare go!)
Comfort: Quite a 'hard' shoe, but no specific issues with them.

Day 965 - I See The Way He Makes You Smile

Shoes: Pewter glitter 'Gosford' Topshop 

Quick post today of my outfit from yesterday. I went shopping for Christmas gifts after stressing about not being organised. Last time I was in a shop was October, long before Christmas was in my head! Plus I didn't expect other things to crop up every week, getting in the way of Christmas shopping. Anyway, I only have a couple more presents to get, but can't see me making it out of the house again before Christmas, so it'll have to be down to someone else to get for me. It really sucks being unable to just pop out to the shops when you feel like it-although I'm sure able-bodied people struggle due to work and having an actual life! Anyway, needless to say I'm wrecked today after carting home half a toy store! There wasn't much time for photos before leaving and it's getting dark scary-early now, but I managed to get decent enough shots of my outfit. I know I'm killing everyone with this dress, because it's really hard to find, but it's sooo ridiculously comfortable to wear and for the amount I paid, I'm going to wear it lots! I always feel like I have to hold the skirt out, so you can properly see Ariel (second full length shot)!

Wearing: Little Mermaid Ariel dress Hot Topic, leggings Primark, swallow cardigan Dorothy Perkins, Ariel and seahorse rings (taken from a set) H&M kids, turquoise ring my Grannys, pearl ring gift, flower midi ring Matalan.
Fit: True to size. Heel 4 3/4" and small concealed platform.
Comfort: Didn't have any issues with these.

Day 964 - Old, But I'm Not That Old

Shoes: Orange and purple heart 'Margar' Georgina Goodman for Luella 

The debut of my new wee babies that I've waited years for! You can see my haul post on Pink Haired Princess, if you haven't already. By the way, ignore the lipstick swatches on my hand below-I was trying to not only photograph this post but another one while there was enough light and it meant doing two things at once!  This dress has flashes of peach and lilac, so I thought it would look cute with these shoes and the purple tights too. A bit of purple overload! Which reminds me of this girl I used to know. She helped out at Sunday School and was called Jennifer (who we nicknamed "Purple Jennifer") because every single thing she wore or had was purple. Down to the purple ink in her purple pen and the purple notebook she wrote in. It was kinda scary.  I'm not sure I could ever swear allegiance to one colour to that extent. Could you?

Wearing: Ballerina tea dress Pearl Lowe (Peacocks), purple tights and coat Primark.
Fit: True to size, 4 3/4" heel and just over 1" concealed platform.
Comfort: No issues with these.

Day 963 - Don't Leave Me Standing All By Myself

Shoes: Cat Tapestry 'Lita' Jeffrey Campbell

Yesterday it was still a little icy in places as you can see from the photo at the bottom of this post.  So I was wary of wearing skinny heels or anything too high.  It's been nice to have had all these months without the worry of frost and ice, although I have quite a few (almost sensible) boots to see me through the 'bad' period.  I'm afraid my outfit photos are extremely poor, but there was a serious lack of daylight by the time I got dressed and either my camera refused to take the pic or they didn't turn out very well.  Add to that an extremely static dress, which I tried to fix for the photos by adding an underskirt...which was then visible in the photos, which I hadn't realised until it came to uploading them.  Oh it just wasn't my day was it?  However, it was one dicky photo or none at all!  I love the colour of this dress with my hair when it's purple, it's otherwise very difficult to wear when it clashes against my hair colours.  My makeup was popping! I'm not usually one for brown eye makeup, but it looked very sultry and I loved the glossy nude lips (although hate the taste of the Urban Decay lipstick).  

Wearing:  Swallow dress New Look, leggings and coat Primark, lace socks Miss Selfridge.  
Fit: I bought these from Office so they are EU/UK sized (38/5). Just under 5" heel and 1 3/4" platform.
Comfort: Felt very uncomfortable across my little toe on one foot, for some reason.

Day 962 - I've Never Seen A Diamond In The Flesh

Shoes: 'Dreamy' Santa heels Irregular Choice 

Hello! What a horrid day today, my goodness, I've barely slept. I had to get up at half one this morning because I couldn't breath after a sneezing fit blocked my nose (which is now a full blown cold) and I'd not slept a wink by then! I was panicking because every time I shut my mouth, I was completely unable to breathe, it was horrible. It was quite gusty outside and raining at that point.  However at 5am, I was awakened by the torrential hail and gale force winds. As we're mid-way through our extension, I was aware of noises and things falling over and then by 7am, I saw the shadow of something billowing that shouldn't have been! We have no windows at that side of the house and there was no way I was going out in my jammies to be blown away!  I sent my Dad instead (and made him walk my tiny sister to work to protect her and hold her down)!  It turned out to be some insulation that's come undone and is now twisting it's way around the house and belting off the window every so often!  The snow this afternoon was scary as it was still so windy and was therefore blizzard like.  Anyway, it's quietened down, so hopefully that's it for dramatic weather just now. So here is my final outfit from the weekend, well Monday, travelling home.  Comfort and something that would again work with my Santa heels.  Are you bored of them yet?  I'm not.  Plus, I've never mentioned my new hair colour yet! Yes, I'm purple now : )

Wearing:  Black tile print dress, leggings and stag ring Primark, cardigan Red Herring at Debenhams, fox ring Evans, nude quilted bag Love Moschino.  
Fit: Small fitting, so I opted for the size up. 4 1/2" heel and small concealed platform.
Comfort: The lining of the shoes is a little scratchy after a long period, but no real issues with them.
