let's hear it in the herd and on the wing

ootd:
first, this is the boater hat i managed to win from ebay last week, in advance of the mary poppins thing..it's too small for my giant head, i'm not sure how to make it stay on - hair grips strategically placed maybe?!

i dug out this pair of coral pumps from the plastic drawers where i keep some of my unboxed shoes, and it doesn't look like they have fared very well over the last few months, there isn't much room in the drawers - but i have now straightened them out and they seem fine..

this dress is a new look one, i thought originally it was a concession one, but it had new look tags so i'm guessing not..i saw it on the website when they were running a free delivery promo a few wks ago, and deemed it the only thing i would order on the whole site, but i wasn't overly sure if it would be 'too white'..i saw it on the lovely Sarah's blog, here, and decided it was quite lovely after all and that i'd look out for it next time i went to the shops..it has a rather nice bow detail on the back which i haven't really managd to show very well here..though under the cardi i'm concerned i may look a little bit "hunchback of notre dame"! it's a little short for my usual liking, hence the flats..

dress - new look, pumps and cardigan - primark

other things which are happening this week..

• i am worried about the state of one of the fish from my work tank, i think it has fish TB so have set up a separate tank for it, but i don't think it will get better..
• i have been unsuccessfully trying to track down this bird print peter pan shirt from miss selfridge after seeing in a blog post, but it's not available in any of the stores near me, so if anyone sees one anywhere, let me know :)
• i have lost 1lb so far without really starting to 'up the ante' when it comes to my weight loss / fitness..i have been motivated by the Where are my Knees? girls, who are great and full of tips and recipes..
• I have been realising just how uncoordinated i am, through playing the Just Dance Broadway game on the Wii which i was given last week..i'm not good, but i'm not really sure how it can figure out how good or otherwise you are..
• i'm falling behind with my sewing commissions..i would like another day in the week please!
