21 down : 71 To Go

Today I’m wearing one of the dresses in my capsule wardrobe. I picked this up from FOREVER NEW for $20 in the sale, it is a nice light material and I love the mirrored floral print. I’m also wearing my Daniel Wellington watch and strappy tan sandals from Kmart.

Are any of you guys doing project 33? I feel like I’m doing well but there is a lot of things I will do differently next time. One of my dresses has already bit the dust, a navy and white asymmetric, stretch, body con number. There was a mixed load of washing and unfortunately the white is now an incepted grey colour. I’m a sucker for a navy stripe and a bargain, however, the quality of material was not great and neither if I’m honest are my laundry skills so lessons learned on that front.

I hope you’re all having a beautiful week and I’d love to see what you guys have included in your 33. Speak soon gorgeous people.

The 1st of October is a special day, it is Wear Grey For Brain Tumours Day.
Wear Grey for a Day is a way to raise awareness and support for those fighting brain tumours and their families. All you need to do is find a way of incorporating grey into your outfit today, spend a few minutes to think of how strong and brave the people effected by brain tumours are and let people know why you are wearing something grey.

‘Wear Grey For a Day’ is not principally a fund raising event, it is free for everyone to join in.  Of course there is always a need to raise funds for the work they do at brainstrust to support those battling a brain tumour so those who would like to donate £1 can text

I hope you all have a little something grey to wear and will proudly share the brain tumour movement on October the 1st. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Speak soon my Gorgeous people

Spots and Stripes…

Hope you guys are having a beautiful weekend, just a quick outfit of the day with this spotty playsuit from Newlook.

I love love love dresses and playsuits, the ‘complete outfit in one’ idea just really appeals to me. I’ve had this playsuit for years and I think the neutral colour and pattern makes it extremely easy to wear.

A denim jacket and some white converse would look just as nice on slightly cooler days, or flats and a cardigan to be super casual.

Mummy Daughter Outfit Of the Day

These are some photos my partner took of Sienna and I while we were at the seaside, we looked pretty synchronised and I thought they would be great to do my first Mummy and daughter outfit post.

Sienna looked absolutely adorable in an aqua green frilly singlet with pale aqua bows and the knickers to match. These were given to me by a friend so I’m not sure where there are from.

I will be so sad when Sienna outgrows this little outfit, I love her in this colour and it makes such a nice change from pink. It’s a worry sometimes putting a baby girl in what is classed as ‘boys’ colours but I think the frills and bows scream girl, and that is the look I love for her. The sandals she has on are little tan leather butterfly detail gladiators from Next.

I am wearing a pale blue split print maxi skirt from Forever New with a white fitted top and blue necklace also from Forever New. I used to stay away from florals as a rule and I’m still pretty fussy when it comes to prints but I like the softness of the skirt and it has a lovely mixture of blue’s and green’s, which match Sienna’s outfit.

Thanks for stopping by

Speak soon

Just Be That Girl…

It may boil down to the fact I’m a shopaholic and a huge enabler but I find it so sad when I’m shopping with my friends and they pick something up they like then walk away without it because it’s too ‘dressy’ or ‘smart’ or they are worried about what other people may think of them

“Have you seen that girl in the … ?”
“The one who wears the…”

I have said it before but always be that girl

The girl in the bright scarf or the high heels
The girl who wears anything she likes
because you can’t please everyone, but you can please yourself

Clothing is a fantastic way of expressing yourself, you can wear anything at all, why shouldn’t it be something that makes you feel pretty or sexy or cute?

Grab the dress you adore or the trousers you love
Wear them
Be someone who is not afraid of what anyone may say

Have a gorgeous week
