I wear this outfit alot but am trying it with some accessories today to try to break up the expanse of black. Picked up some necklace/earing sets in Primark to try out. The kids are bound to break them so I didn't want to spend much on them.
Dull but practical today. Was teaching baby massage this morning and sorting the house out to teach antenatal classes tomorrow so lots of carrying equipment about. I love this black jumper, it's a really feminine shape but very practical too. By Fridays I seem to have got to the can't be bothered jeans and a jumper stage. Put some flower hair clips in to make it a bit more girly.
Well this outfit was not a hit with the kids, my middle one got really cross with being unable to hang on my legs in his usual fashion (can't say it was a negative for me!). He said it was too long and he didn't like it. I love this skirt because it actually is long enough for me. I'm not particularly tall but dop have long legs and find lots of long skirts stop at a really unflattering point of my ankles. So this one is fab. I changed the shoes for my flat boots later on and wore a denim jacket over the top. Would have worn DMs with it if I had any but still haven't got round to replacing the pair that wore through (after 8 years solid wear) 8 years ago. Got my eye on a pair of cherry reds or purple next.
Trying out wearing a scarf today. Was given this really lovely one by my best mate for my birthday so thought I'd try it out. Went for a plain outfit so the scarf would be the focal point. Was given the following link to give me ideas for ways to tie it which I found really helpful: Hermes (click on playtime with your scarf).
It's a black day today. I love these black trousers but don't wear them often because they are part of a suit. Have added a splash of colour with the shoes and will use my fab new red handbag I was given for my birthday to liven the outfit up a bit. I really want some red shoes, am quite into the red/black thing at the moment.
Well having just looked at the pictures I think it's clear I should actually do some ironing! This skirt is not that long and the non-ironed turnups at the bottom do not add to it's charm. I like the shape of this skirt because I think it makes my bum look ok which is quite an achievement. The kids are all off school still with a sickness bug so trying some new ideas out whilst I get through the washing mountain. I do really love skirts but find it hard to find skirts that fit because I am pear shaped - they either gape at the waist or are stretched over the hips. Neither is a good look. Add to that the ongoing problem of not flashing everybody in the slightest hint of a breeze and it's a difficult job. If I find one I like I tend to keep it forever.....the one I have on today is at least 5 years old! The boots are last years flat winter boots, they were cheap and worn to death so I can only wear them now when I know there will be no rain because otherwise I get very wet feet!!!!
