7 Days, 7 Looks

I am sat here shivering - it's May, it's 6 degrees and I am 'this' close to putting the heating on - WTF?

I've had a good couple of days with work and getting out and about and I feel on top of the world instead of behind it as I have been these past few weeks.

The shop is still going well and now I'm getting lots of nice orders for scarves for teachers end of term presents - what a great idea hey?

Opened the local newspaper today to see my face in print - I loved writing the article but it feels weird that that is 'me' - just me, but thousands will read it - I feel a bit special if I'm honest :-)


7 days and 7 looks - all a bit sad as they're very winter like but seriously the weather dictates EVERYTHING in my life.

So having posted I see that I am a very tight shopper but I have a lot of things! Also need to get my hair cut but feel reluctant as it's finally, slowly, growing. I know I should at least have a trim right?

What have bagged in the sales lately?

  1. Is there a point at which we ever stop because we have every thing? I may have reached the should have stopped point a few years back and yet why do I still buy?

  2. The black dress is stunning. And looks really versatile too - can't wait to see your dressed down version. I bet it involves a denim jacket?

    1. And the weather is rubbish here too. I'm sat with a blanket on my knees because it seems wrong to put the heating on in May!

  4. Since getting back from Spain the other day, where we only had one day of sun and heat, the rest cloud, cold and rain I've had the heating on loads! I'm actually getting sick of jeans to be honest x

  5. Oh you look fab in all of those. I love the grey Sainsbury's top and of course, your own navy top is great with the orange jeans - wish I'd thought of that but I'm thinking that the taupe one would look well with my red jeans! Must try that out. Well done on your article and how fab is that Maxi - looking forward to the write up. Have a super weekend, Ax

    1. Thanks Avril - the grey smock top would look amazing against the red - looking forward to that!

  6. Love the maxi - stunning. You have an amazing figure!! (and don't brush me off by saying you're wearing spanx! Even spanx can't creat that bump-free look unless there's a slim body underneath!) I'm totally sick to death of the weather. Yesterday was lovely, but forecast is crap. Aarrrrgghhh!

    1. It's an amazing dress - it's all ruched where it needs to be - no-one needs spanx with it!
      Weather good today (Sunday!) YAY!
