New Dress


I managed to get this dress off the sale rack at the same time as Monday's top. I would have worn it yesterday but I felt really ill so slobbed in jeans and a T shirt instead. I got new stock in yesterday so have some great new jewellery to wear. Off to meet a friend for coffee and cake this morning and then more walking training this afternoon. Please do sponsor me if you can I am raising money for Breast Cancer Care.

Ode to the 80s

As a child of the 80s I tend to shy away from anything very 80s in style. I was born in 1980 so every picture of me as a child has me in some fashion nightmare or another! However, I saw this top yesterday on the sale rack and couldn't resist. I love the colour and the cut but I did have to hunt out my clear bra straps to cope with the drapey neckline.

Leggings

We had a lunch out yesterday for my Mother-in-law's 70th birthday. On the advice of my most trusted fashion advisor I gave leggings a go. Still not entirely convinced but it did make this dress decent which is always a good thing. No photo from today because Pips woke up with a rash that looks suspiciously like chicken pox. Just seeing how it develops. If it is this week is going to be such a washout. My poor baby has her 3rd birthday on Thursday and her birthday treat is to go to the circus on Friday. If it is indeed the pox we won't be able to do any of that which is such a shame.

Pukey Party


We went to pne of Pippa's friend's party and it was very eventful for a number of reasons, not least because I got lost trying to get there and then Pippa threw up all down me! Poor little thing is very poorly.

This jacket used to have ties on it but I never really liked the fit with the ties done up so I chopped them off. I do like it hanging open like this but would like the option of being able to do it up. Any suggestions for the best way to add some kind of fastener?

These shoes were given to me at the same time as the pink ones by the lovely Tat it's the first time I've worn them and they actually stay on better than I feared.

Launch Party


I had a party at home last night to celebrate the launch of Esme-Grace. It went really well and I can't wait to do more. I just love my products so much it is easy to sell them. I also love that everyone left with stuff they loved and felt that they had got a bargain. Perfect!

This is what I wore:

Spring Sunshine



Another beautiful day here in Surrey. I've been doing alot of gardening and making the most of the lovely sunshine. Me and Little Miss Mischief are both sporting pink and denim. I have noticed that we are often in similar outfits or colours which I have never intentionally done but I guess because I choose her outfits most of the time they reflect me and my moods more than hers. I am really pleased with this outfit and it achieves what I considered to be an impossible task of reducing the look of my fankles!

Back to School

Back to normal here - school started yesterday and whilst I love having my babies at home I won't deny that it was absolute bliss having a couple of hours to myself yesterday afternoon while they were all in school/preschool.

As you can see in this pic I have a nightmare with this skirt twisting round when I wear it. It's really warm enough for bare legs but I have a massive bruise on my thigh so am going to have to stick with tights until it is less unsightly.

And here are me and the monsters yesterday after lots of gardening.

Catching Up again

Excuse the laundry behind me! We have had an incredibly stressful few days with our house sale falling through and then thankfully being sorted out. I haven't been thinking about anything else, let alone what I was wearing. This outfit is from last Thursday evening when I had a reunion with the parents and babies from my last antenatal group.

Sporadic Posting


Sorry for the sporadic posting at the moment. It's hard to find the time when the kids are home on school holidays. Here is a pic of what I wore for some of yesterday. Interesting pose!! We were playing football and doing gymnastics in the garden at my parents house.

Shorts

As the weather is warming up, the shorts have made a reappearance. Hopefully it won't be too long before I can to shorts and no tights. Summer comfort! The children are off school this week and next for the Easter holidays so comfort and practicality are a must. It's off to the park with us this afternoon and I have never been able to resist playing on the swings and climbing frames with them.

Red Day

All red accessories today. Nothing much planned....saw Al complete his first 10k for a lot of years and watching the GP. Perfect Sunday. The photo is not taken in the best place but our neighbour is cutting down a tree and can see into our garden. He already thinks I'm weird enough without seeing me posing and taking pics of myself!
