PMT Challenge - Days 27-31 Catch Up

Here's the second installment of my PMT outfit round up posts!

I skipped a day again as the weather forecast was for high temperatures again and it seemed a shame not to wear a dress. Day 18 is coming up in the next post.

So we had a couple of days lovely weather mid-April and this dress was perfect. I did not need the jacket really, but this challenge teaches the importance of a ‘completer piece’ and sometimes I get chilly sitting in the office so it’s always nice to have something there, just in case.

I liked this challenge outfit as it’s the kind of thing I would wear anyway, especially when the weather is as nice as it was this day. One of my colleagues was leaving the company so we all went to the pub at lunchtime and sat outside in the sun with our drinks. Someone commented that it had been a long time since it had been warm enough to do that and she was right, it has been a really long winter. It was nice to enjoy some sunshine whilst we got the chance.

This outfit was supposed to have the olive pants with it, but as it was the weekend I subbed in blue jeans instead. And I felt like the black cardi played nicely with the black in the print of the blouse. This was a great outfit for a day out with my little sister and my nieces in York.

So the oatmeal cardi got ditched in favour of a blazer again! It was my birthday and we went out for lunch with all the family. I just like a blazer and jeans, what can I say? I was a very lucky girl and got a lovely new handbag with rose gold hardware, so I matched my shoes with the rose gold tips. I also got the fabulous leopard print Nickel and Suede earrings that I'm wearing.

I always love an outfit that includes this jacket. I’m not sure I would put my brogues with these pants again, but the morning I wore this it was too wet for flats and the pants are slightly too cropped for ankle boots. I could have worn tall boots but this is supposed to be a spring challenge, you know? Anyhow, an outfit that combined burgundy and army green was good for me as I would never have put those two shades together myself.

And can you spot my favourite shop?! :)

I tried to make this outfit spring-like with the light colours, but it was dull and rainy and so tights were still a necessity. It’s progress that they were regular tights though, not the fleece-lined variety. Baby steps. And the cosy cardi allowed me to wear my trench coat rather than a proper coat so that’s spring too.

I knew my office might be warm enough to shed the cardi so it was important that the outfit work without it too, which it does.

There was still (STILL!) a little snow on the ground the morning I wore this, but I chose to ignore it and wear something a bit more spring-like. Especially the shoes.

The shirt is my fab jersey one and because it is stretchy jersey it is much easier to tie at the front than a regular shirt. The necklace is vintage and belonged to my grandmother.

Saturday night we went to a friend’s 40th birthday party. It was 80s fancy dress so this is what I wore. Not the best outfit, but the best I could do on six days’ notice! And with minimal purchasing – just the jeggings, legwarmers and the neon hair ties. If I look a little deshevelled here it’s because I took the pictures when we go back, by which time I had walked up and down a large hill in the snow (yes, the snow came back, no, I didn’t walk in these shoes!) which was not fun. We decided if we’d parked at the top of the hill where our friends live we might get stuck so we parked at the bottom and walked.

Another wet, manky day. I stashed my lovely blue shoes in my bag and put on boots to walk to work. Boots which were very wet by the time I got there.

My spring-like floral top and cheerful blue shoes helped to lift the mood a bit though. Even if it did mean I had Meryl Streep’s voice in my head all day saying “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.”
