Blouse season

Hi,

After living in flat boots for a few weeks, I've decided to go back to my old faithfuls purple knee high boots & match them with greys.  I will have to get used to wearing heels again, but it'll be worth it, as i am rather vertically challenged.

It seems to have warmed up slightly since that bit of snow we had a few weeks ago, so I went for a blouse with a light vest underneath.



Tweed skirt (Oasis)
Silk Skirt (Zara)
Fringed Cardigan (Asda)
Purple vest (Zara)
Purple boots (RI)
Purple feathered earrings (Primark)
Purple wooden Necklace & bracelet(West indies market stall)

 Blouses, are light & great for office wear.  The don't just have to be the boring types either;

This one, in animal print chiffon cost me £7:00 in New look's sale last year  It's pleated in the front with bat wing sleeves. 




The floral one to the right is from Gok Wans range last year for Tu & has a bow tie, making it very feminine.  

 

This one is from Zara a few years back around £12.00 in the Sales also.  Teamed with a buttoned up black blazer it shows the frill's off, in a different way  Check out one of my previous blogs, where it is feathered.  Same blouse, different look

                                                                              This black poker dot high neck blouse is from the 1st Kardashian's collection for Dorothy Perkins.  I'd been searching for one for a while, so when it come up I grabbed it, as it can be worn for years & never date.  Plus it has that old fashion feel to it.

Last Saturday, my girlfriend & I went to a friends 50th.  I'd bruised the Tendon in my left arm that week, so movement was still very painful & limited & getting dressed took on a new meaning.  I could hardly lift my arm, more than a foot away from my body, so I had to chose something that I could get into with very little ease. 

I opted for a Zip front dress, another of Gok Wan's collection for Tu.  Purchased in the sale is was a steal at £22.50.   It is made with a control slip sewn in, which is a dream.
I teamed it with Red front Stilettos, (Zara).  Also worn this week by Rochelle Wiseman. (see photo below)  Added a Red Channel look quilted bag from French connection.  Taking the gold Zip into consideration I wore a Gold statement necklace (accessories), a gold cuff (Top Shop) & gold earrings (Primark)

As Spring is slowly approaching, (I can dream),  I'm looking forward to wearing lots of the things I purchased at the end of the summer sales last year & the year before.  There is something about brighter days that make waking up in the mornings for what ever reason, a joy.

Till next time,  Have a lovely week ppl.

Hello Feburary

Hi All,

So January is now over but it is usually the month for change & although I set no resolutions, I did instead set myself some goals.   One is to be more positive about the things I have, & less about the things I don't or cannot change.  Another is to conquer fear, not an easy one for most of us.  One of the things I fear is change.  Not that once it happens I don't try to embrace it, because I do, but I don't usually go looking for it.  So...... I have decided to change the frequency in which I write this blog & to change some of the features & this week I am going to take you through a few choices,

On Thursday I was meeting the head of our services for the very first time & had to give a presentation....Well it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous, but I know the power fashion has over my daily spirit, so dressing for the occasion was a must;




Structured textured Peplum Top (Tu)
Lace Skirt (Zara)
Black Patent courts(Dorothy Perkins)
Feather Earrings (Primark)

 Necklace (H&M)







                                                   Bag (Zara) 

Scarf (Tu)
Coat with removable fur collar (Zara)

Feeling good helped & it went off well.  It's so easy to wear Black all the time through the winter, but jazzing it up a little with nude works well.  Are you someone that only wears gold or silver, well don't limit yourself by shying away from glass jewellery, it can be just as effective as Gold & sliver.
