Time Flies When ...

you're busy. Yet again I am totally snowed under with work work, children (on another 3 day break) and weekend partying (not complaining but chores are totally ignored during these times). The week ahead looks set to be manic too.

I started my own 'challenge' about a week ago. I was not going to buy anything new (I can be given things as presents though) for as long as I could manage. Week 1 under my belt and it was a doddle. I have loved looking for different things to wear and with our weather it crosses all seasons in one.

A summary in pictures of what I've been wearing over the past few days

Thursday was a day in the office, sun was shining but there was a nip in the early morning air.

Maxi - Sainsburys
Necklace - Avenue 57
Denim Jacket - TK Maxx
Sandals - UGG® - current


Outfit on the left was for picnic we had at school with my youngest but it turned out to be very cold so I added snow boots and an aran cardigan!

Outfit on the right was for our big annual school sports day event. I took the scarf and jacket off for about 1 minute - it was FREEZING COLD (wind) but sunny


One of my most favourite outfits - the top is so easy to wear and I love my dark denim jeans and the shoes speak for themselves. We were heading into London to stay with family over night. LOTS of drinking and LOTS of eating, it's a wonder I'm still alive!

Top - Matalan (current but not online)
Jeans - Mango (old)
Shoes - TK Maxx (old)


The boys in the family all went flying in the morning (as you do on a Monday) and so I had a morning to myself. I worked out I was very close to where I buy stock for the shop so I put on the first outfit as that is what I'd packed to wear but it was cold and threatening to rain so I hitched it up and wore it with my jeans instead!

Dress - Ax Paris - current
Shoes - Converse - old
Scarf - Hobbs - old


Head on over to Avenue 57 for some fabulously dressed women. If yo ulike nice things at a good price then head on over to the shop where I just stocked up on some fab scarves and one of my favourite slouchy jumpers EVER!
