Considering I'm a significant way through a 100-day shopping ban, you'd think it would be tricky to find something I hadn't yet worn for the first time, right?
Wrong. I'm a chronic "buy now, think about it later" kind of shopper, and a few months ago now came across this polka dot skirt in h+m and was really taken with it. When I came to wear it a few days later I wasn't so sure about the shape and fit, so I bunged it on the pile of pencil skirts which have built up over the last year or so, and wore something else.
I'd sort of forgotten about it until this morning, when I decided to give it another try. It's quite a thick jersey material, so I'm naturally concerned about it's clingy nature around my hips, thighs and bum, which I'm fairly self-conscious about ad a general rule anyway.
I went with a dull and unexciting t-shirt, and a thought I'd add a pair of shoes which I really LOVE in order to try and build up the confidence.
Also I managed to break my camera, hence the terrible photos at strange angles, but I hope to have it back up and running; it's done it before, I was just in a rush this morning to get to the parcel office and pick up my mystery parcel - turns out I won an ASOS competition - yay!
Ooh, I tried out the carrot and courgette muffin recipe yesterday evening; it turned out really well and was very simple - I'd definitely recommend it, so the recipe can be found here. I picked it up from a Sainsbury's tweet the other day.




those shoes, those shoes!
ReplyDeleteYou really should have a bit more confidence about your appearance!
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are fantastic. Peep toe Mary janes are my favourite.

Gorgeous heels girl!
ReplyDeleteI love the skirt and you look really slim and chic :)
ReplyDeleteYou really rock that pencil skirt look; much better on a proper, beautiful figure,(YOU!), than a stick thin bod too.
ReplyDeleteI lurve those shoes and , OMG!, that amazing shoe collection in your previous post. I could have hours of fun trying them all on! Couldn't walk in most of them tho'.
Sounds a really fun challenge. Could almost be tempted to join in, even if I'm a few days behind!!

That's the way I am. Well I'm glad you gave the skirt another chance because it looks great.
ReplyDeleteReally love the outfit and you've always had a great figure to carry it off (and I totally see your recent weight loss-you're tiny!). Looking lovely.
