First of all.......

Why have I never heard anyone complain that their feet are really cold when they wear Converse All Stars?? I have mine on in the shop (wore my wellies for the walk to work) and my feet are freezing. This is the third time I have worn them and the third time my feet have been so cold that they hurt!

I love this cozy layered look that I have going on today! I am so glad that I bought these maternity cords when we were in Florida. I really do prefer them to my maternity jeans. I just need to make sure I find new ways to style them.

Today's outfit is:

Cords - Liz lange for Target
Vest - Vila
T-shirt - ?
Cardigan - Hollister
Scarf -BlendShe
Shoes - All Stars
Necklace - Bakers

First of all I am going to say sorry for the picture today! It was my plan to remove my scarf and to change into my nice grey leather knee high boots. However, at this very moment it is -6C (21F) outside and the scarf and dog walking boots are staying put!

This outfit is great for days like this as everything is a nice snug fit and no chills get to me. I love that this jumper is very comfy and cosy, yet still looks kind of dressy!

Today's outfit is:

Jumper - American Eagle
Cami - American Eagle
Leggings - Vila
Scarf - ??
Necklace - Guess
Boots - Caterpillar

I thought I would leave you all with this Bista picture taken a few nights ago! We had taken her for a longer than usual walk (through the snow) and it had her beat!

A quick post before I go home for 4 glorious days!

The weather here is still very cold and although we have no snow we have THICK ice! Hence today's look - I needed something that I could wear these boots with and what better than a cosy cable knit hoodie??

Today's outfit is:

Jeans - Vila
T-shirt - i am.....
Hoodie - Hollister

Monday 02.02.

WOO HOO!!!!

Finally it is February - boy am I glad to see the back of January.
I am excited that it is starting to get a bit lighter in the evenings when I am making my way home, I have a nice weekend away this month, all of the S/S 09 collections begin to finally filter through into the shop, I am having a Valentine Night with my bf (on a budget) and it is slowly but surely getting closer to spring and some nicer weather!

Today, all that my outfit is about is being warm and cosy. I know that it is just not stylish, but it is practical. It has been snowing overnight and I needed to get to work warm and dry and I really needed to stay dry once I got here. I turn the heating to OFF on a Saturday night (to try and save some pennies) so Monday's are always a little cooler, but I knew that today I would almost freeze myself.

This outfit has worked a treat. The tee is a kind of tight thermal fabric but it has a nice bright star print (cosy), the cardigan is thick and warm but not bulky and the Ugg boots well they may be Ugg-ly but they are keeping my toes very, very warm.
I have to say that I do like all of the pieces together, this is the kind of thing that I wear for a Sunday in the house.

Today's outfit is:

Skinny Jeans - Vila
Long sleeved t-shirt - Forever 21
Cable cardigan - Forever 21
Chunky scarf - Tesco
Cream boots - Ugg

It is so cold here today, it has taken me until now to really get some heat into the shop and myself and it is just not a nice feeling. I also hate the feeling that I have to apologise to customers if they wish to use the fitting room - I would not be taking any of my clothing off in here at the moment!!
I knew in advance that it was going to be cold, it dropped to minus 3 through the night, so I made sure that I had lots of layers and woolens in my planned outfit, but even they are not helping me too much!

I spent almost an hour last night hand washing delicate/hand wash only items - this is a job that I do not enjoy and always put off for as long as I can. However, in the pile was a dress that I want to take to Manchester and a jumper that my bf wants to take so I just got on and did the entire pile. It was still a rubbish job that I did not enjoy, but I feel so much better as those things are no longer sitting in the bottom of my laundry basket!

We are putting our Christmas Tree up tonight and I am very excited. As soon as my bf gets home we are going to go out and get a fresh one and then after dinner (and once it has all settled into place) we are going to decorate it!

Today's outfit is:

Grey leggings - Vila
Grey & cream striped jumper dress - American Eagle
Cream cami - Primark
Necklace - Guess
Grey cardigan - Blendshe
Grey scarf - H&M
Grey/silver beret - River Island
Cream boots - River Island
Boots - Ugg

Tuesday 11.11.

Winter is most definitely here - I have had to dig out my hooded coat for the walk to work. I had to give in and be practical not fashionable! I have pictured the coat to show the "look" and I apologise that it does not go with the rest of the outfit!! As well as the coat not going with the look, I left my other shoes sitting in the hall at home so I have had my flats on all day!

I have had my thinking cap on and I think I have come up with my idea for my festive window display. I am very excited about it. My mum got me some of the supplies that I need and she is going home to look through the sewing box for sequins etc for me!

Today's outfit is:

Black knitted dress - H&M
Black cami (not seen) - Primark
Teal chiffon scarf - Tie Rack
Teal tights - Primark
Black patent jewelled ballet flats - Nine West
Brown hooded coat - Diesel
