Hey everyone!!
Hope you're all well!!
I have had such a mad couple of days!!
Some good...
Some bad...
But overall very stressful!!
Fortunately, I'm beginning the process of de-stressing - slowly but surely!
Anyway...
This was me on Saturday after I came back from London with my Mum.
Now I never go out on the weekends, purely because I usually work between Monday and Wednesday so I like to have a couple of days at home. I don't like going in to my local town let alone London; but this time I had a reason. I was going up to have an interview in the afternoon, so my Dad suggested that my Mum come with me and we make a full afternoon of it. Both parties agreed and soon enough Mum and I were on our way. My interview was first and only lasted 15 minutes and then I met up with my Mum. We headed up towards Covent Garden, where there were some rather hunky beach rugby players to drool over. There were a lot of them and they were everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE! At one point I couldn't stop smiling and I took refuge in the Royal Opera House. I showed my Mum the pieces that are on my birthday/Christmas list and I also picked up two t-shirts. Next we popped in to the Disney Store and then headed to Costa for something to nibble on. Eventually we made our way back to Charing Cross and then swiftly home. It was a nice afternoon; but I honestly don't like crowds (I get claustrophobic).
To the outfit...
Now this wasn't my original outfit when I left the house that afternoon. You see my original outfit idea failed, so I just chucked on a random jacket just to complete the look. By the time we reached Charing Cross I had had enough and needed to change. Mum and I looked around H&M and we found this little gem of a kimono. For £19.99 it is such great quality, a good length and I love the pattern (if you want to see it in full watch my ootd video here). I couldn't believe it was only £20 (with a penny change) when we saw it there on the rail. I am so glad this piece is a part of my wardrobe, as I will use and abuse it (and I'm not even exaggerating). I have a penchant for plain t-shirts - well actually it's more of an obsession, but they just go with everything so why not stock up. I picked this Uni Qlo one up in Bluewater the other week. Now in most shops they usually have a multi buy deal on their jersey and Uni Qlo is the same. It was £9.90 for one or £14.90 for two and at that price I thought I might as well get two. I picked up this cream/white one and one in black. It's just a great versatile piece and overall it's just a baggy t-shirt - who doesn't love a baggy t-shirt?? As you guys may know my foot is still as fat as anything; but I thought now would be a great opportunity to stretch my boots. By using my fat foot to wear in my boots, by the time it goes down (or I chop it off) they'll fit nicely. I picked these Adonis2 boots in Oxblood from a website called Next to Nowt. They are a website that resells shoes that have been worn for a discount price. Now the Adonis2 boots retail for £75 in Topshop; but on Next to Nowt there were £30 and after a week of deliberating I knew I had to have them. They fit nicely but they kinda rub on the heel on my left foot, other then that they're perfectly fine. If you are looking for a pair of the Adonis boots, definitely check out Next to Nowt for any bargains.
I think this is clear that I'm buying too much yet again. I am honestly incapable of saving money, which is a hindrance as Disney is coming up in two months!!
I must behave!!
But if you're like me and follow the words of Cole Porter you'll know what I'm about to say...
'LET'S MISBEHAVE!!!'
