Outfit: April 15th – PMT Challenge Day 14

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.

Outfit: April 12th – PMT Challenge Day 12 and an Early Birthday Present

Did you notice that I skipped a day? I thought the day 12 prompt was more Thursday appropriate than the day 11 one, which features blue jeans. So I saved day 11 for Friday and went with this outfit instead. I could have worn a white t shirt, but I figured the white button down shirt was more ‘work’. Although my office is pretty casual (hence the trainers) so I probably would have been fine in my jeans on a Thursday.

My parents got me some more Nickel and Suede earrings for my birthday (thanks Mom! Thanks Dad!). My birthday wasn’t for another two days at the time of writing but as the earrings were shipped to my address I figured I could wear them a couple of days early. These are the Green Fatigue ones in large which will go with much of my wardrobe, such a fan as I am of army green.

Outfit: April 3rd – PMT Challenge Day 2

So the snow melted and the sun came out and I was able to actually wear something resembling spring for my second outfit of the challenge. The light was OK when I took these pictures but the cardigan (which is actually army green) looks super washed out for some reason. I am subbing this cardi or my green biker jacket in place of a utility jacket, which I don’t have and don’t need so I didn’t buy one even though it was on the challenge capsule wardrobe list. I figured a different item in the same colour would work just as well, and it does.

Outfit: March 21st – Army Green, Blush and Grey

I am doing the Putting Me Together spring challenge (read all about it here!) and although it doesn’t officially start until April 2nd, there are a bunch of bonus outfits in the guide that I am having fun trying out in advance. This is one of them! The challenge will be good for me in encouraging me to put items together that I wouldn’t necessarily have thought to pair up, and to push me a little out of my comfort zone when it comes to trying new things. Take this top for example. I probably wouldn’t have picked it out myself but it’s similar to one used in the challenge and I needed something to fit the description of that item. Turns out I actually really like it, and it goes with lots of items already in my closet because of the colours in the print – black, white, blue, burgundy, pink.

Outfit: March 17th – It Was Acceptable In The 80s!

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.

Outfit: March 15th – Blue and Burgundy

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.”

Outfit: February 20th – Shoes, Not Boots

It really wasn’t warm enough for these shoes the day I wore them, but the sun was shining and I had a big, cosy sweater on so I decided it didn’t matter if my feet were a bit chilly. The forecast is for more snow next week so I’ll be back in boots soon enough I’m sure.

Outfit: January 12 – Hair Up

I don’t ever wear my hair up, but it’s just about long enough again at the back now to pin up like this. I am such a fan of big earrings right now that sometimes it’s nice to show them off. Especially this black pair which gets lost amongst my dark hair.

Another chilly day (well, it is January so it’s to be expected really) so another oversize sweater and over the knee boots were just the thing to keep me toasty.

Outfit: December 12th – Four Below

I am aware that to many of you temperatures of minus 4˚C are nothing, but here, that COLD. Fortunately it wasn’t icy, just frosty, and everything looked pretty with the frost and remnants of the snow from the weekend (we got a little bit of snow, just nothing like the deluge that was forecast).

I have to text my boss when I am planning to wear this skirt as she has one very similar and we don’t want to turn up dressed the same! I paired it with my festive-but-not-Christmassy jumper and some tights which have metallic thread in them. I forgot I had these and found them when routing through my drawer in search of grey tights. They are ideal as they have pink and burgundy stripes in them.
