Sat on their park bench like bookends

// Jumper- Matalan // Skirt- New Look // Necklace- My Grandma's //

Hello everyone! I thought I would share a little outfit of the day with you today. The weather lately has been so confusing- the mornings here are cold, foggy and wet, and by the time I finish work in the afternoon, it's warm and sunny! This outfit, paired with my Converse, was today's answer to the fickle weather.

The jumper is a new one I picked up in Matalan in the children's section. I love their children's section! They have such gorgeous items, some of them so similar to the adults clothes, at a fraction of the price, and their age 15 pieces are the same size as a ladies size 8! This jumper was only £12, whereas similar ones in the ladies section were between £20 and £30! I have received so many compliments on it too. It's so classic and simple, however the detailing such as the lovely shape of the sleeves and the buttons running down the back stop it from being too boring.

This denim pencil skirt from New Look was this summers attempt at stopping myself getting stuck in the routine of wearing my skinny jeans with everything. Having a very active 18 month old means that most skirts simply aren't practical- I don't want to spend all day worrying about either flashing people or treading on the bottom of my maxi skirts! But this skirt is brilliant- it's stretchy, comfortable, and long enough to save my dignity! I love the shape and it goes with almost everything.

How are you all? I am still working 7 days a week, but treated myself to my first night out in a very long time last week! I was a little bit worried about being too old now I'm a mum, but it felt really good to get dressed up and spend a night with my friends not stressing about work, weddings or nappies!

AFRIKA

Shirt: Primark
Leggings: American Apparel
Spike bracelet: Ebay
Blue bracelet: Marwell zoo

Hello everyone!

I thought I'd share a quick outfit post with you today. I realised a while ago I have never shared these leggings in an outfit post before. I have no idea why! They are by far my favourite leggings and I have had them for about 3 years now. They are the American Apparel Afrika leggings and I love them so much. Like most clothes in American Apparel the fit is amazing and they are super comfortable. I found them while on a spending spree with my birthday money, and it took me ages to decide whether to get them or not. It just didn't feel right spending so much on a pair of leggings when you could get similar in Primark for a fraction of the price. But as it was my birthday I treated myself, and I'm so glad I did. They have lasted so well! They haven't lost their shape at all, they don't have holes in and the colours haven't faded, unlike all of my cheaper leggings which are unwearable within months. I can't praise these leggings enough!

I bought this shirt recently in Primark and can see myself getting a lot of wear out of it this summer. I love the wash of the denim and it's a really nice, flattering shape and fit. I think it will be one of those staple pieces that will go with anything and feel comfortable but look good!

I picked up this blue stone bracelet (I think it's a type of turquoise but I can't remember the name of it!) in Marwell Zoo gift shop, of all places, for £2.50! I fell in love with the colour and don't think there has been a day since I got it I haven't worn it. I love the pop of colour it adds to an outfit!  

I would love for some of you to share your blog links with me/ your favourite blog links, I have a found a few new bloggers recently I really love and am really enjoying reading something new, so any more you could send my way I'd be really grateful for!

Hello everyone!

Just thought I'd share a little outfit post with you all- all Tesco and ebay, so classy! I am a bit of an ebay addict though, I will shop on there for everything! I love my ebay disco pants so much- I would wear them all the time if I could!

I have a little bit of news too- our wedding is booked! I am so so excited, everything feels very real now and we can start properly planning. It is the 29th December- Christmas wedding! Would anyone be interested in a few wedding planning related posts, or would that get a bit boring? Not lots, just bits and bobs, like invitation making (yes, I'm making them!), decorations and that sort of thing? 

How are you all? Have you got any great ebay finds?
