HEY EVERYONE!!
Are we all well??
Good!!
Well the weekend has come again (well nearly).
And of course this is the weekend before Christmas...YAYAYAY!!
Now as you know I'm very much a Scrooge, bah humbug and all that but I feel like my spirits are more lifted.
I know come Sunday I will be as miserable as ever seen as its work day!!
Boo hiss boo!!
But at least I'm not working over Christmas and New Year YAYAY!!
Anyway...
Just a quick post today!!
This was me earlier today after popping to West Wickham with Mum and Charlie.
Now I was a bit unsure as to whether I was going to go or not; because as you know I've not been sleeping. So I told my Mum to wake me up at 8am just in case I wanted to tag along. Well as you can probably tell I have another sleepless night which was endless; but I did eventually fall asleep to my music which never happens anymore. I was woken at 8am and thought I might as well go along. I didn't get out of bed till half past and yes Mum and Charlie were both waiting for me, (I can't help it). We dropped Lilly off at the dog groomers and headed up to West Wickham. Now as you know the only time I ever go to West Wickham is when Lilly goes for her annual haircut. The first stop was Starbucks where I did have a bit of fruit bread which I soon went off (I don't like raisins). We then moved on to the charity shops which is always my favourite part. We started off in Sense which is usually a good one for ex-catalogue stuff (I got my grey maxi dress from there); I wasn't going to go in but I'm glad I did as I picked up a baroque print silk scarf for £2! I always love finding vintage scarves for a bargain price. We then had a look in the kitchen shop which Charlie and Mum both like; I always want all the cake tins in the pretty different colours and prints. Lorimers was next on the list which is part of my childhood. I remember when I was younger I saved up half of the money to buy Baby Sophie (anyone remember her); I actually still have she lives with my shoes (bad mother). It was so weird seeing all the Bratz and how far they've fallen. I have loads of Bratz but I have no idea where they are. We headed to Mind which again can be quite good I usually find a scarf or a book; but unfortunately today I couldn't find anything. Cancer Research UK was next and again sometimes you can find good things and other times, you don't find anything. Now last time I was there I picked up a vintage 1960's cape, this time I found a men’s oversized denim jacket for a fiver!! FIVER!! I was willing to pay 40-50 quid in Topman for it, so glad I didn't otherwise I'd be gutted. St Christopher’s Hospice was next and I never go in there because it smells like soup; but I thought I might as well look. I headed to the men’s section to look for any bargains and low and behold I found two men’s t-shirts for £2. One is a grey/blue with LA Roadster on it with a cool collage of cars on the back, and the other is a white souvenir t-shirt with Venezia on it (obsessed). I think ShannonLouiseVintage and The Fashion Citizen are definitely on to something, with the thrifting/charity shop shopping. We headed to M&S which was our last stop before we picked up Lilly and went to Pets at Home and Nan.J's. Busy day!! Oh and I popped to the pub with the family to meet family friends.
To the outfit...
I had absolutely no idea what to wear this morning (as usual); and with no time to plan something I chucked this on. I've had an outfit like this planned in my head; but I teamed it with my jeggings (which is how I wore it to the pub). I've worn this combination of jumper and shirt before but I wore it with leggings; not one of my best outfits but I was coming home from Cheltenham in the car. This jumper was actually purchased in Cheltenham in New Look. It's actually Charlie's but I've commandeered it so technically it's now mine, it's a size 18 so it's the perfect baggy fit on me. I love the exclamation mark on the jumper because it stands out. The shirt is a shirt I absolutely adore. It's vintage and I picked it up in Cirencester while in Cheltenham (I sense a theme here). I saw it and I think it was £7 or £9 something ridiculous, so I picked it up and bought it immediately without even thinking twice. I put a simple gold linked necklace under the collar and kept the rest of the outfit neutral. I had to still wear black, I couldn't help it.
It's pay day for me today which I'm happy about!!
I've already ordered stuff which I don't feel guilty about; but I do feel guilty because it's now 12:36am Saturday morning and I need to go to bed.
I will bid you all a goodnight!!
Btw here's the link to my OOTD - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIFPbBGNVsY

AS IF!!
