Wednesday 05.11.

My friend and I walked 3.5 miles last night (in the cold) and my poor legs are very tired today - but I am walking again this evening. I really enjoy getting out and getting some fresh air and having a chat with my friends (I would not see them as often if we did not do this).

Although it is still cold today I have ditched the jeans in favour of my favorite skirt and a new jumper. Even though I am tired I feels so much better than I have been lately, just because I love the clothes that I am wearing. I do think that it always helps when you have something new on!

I have my god-daughter to collect from nursery at 5.30pm and I am then going to start getting supplies for my Fireworks/Bonfire BBQ at the weekend! I am very much looking forward to it. We have not had a large group of friends round for a while and it should be a great night. The only worry that I have at the moment is the weather. The long range weather is predicting rain - but there is still plenty of time for that to change!

Today's outfit is:

Patterned skirt - French Connection
Coral V-neck jumper - Blendshe (sample from S/S 09)
Black cardigan - Vila
black patterned tights - Tesco
Black wedges - Faith

I think I preferred this look with the black top (the way I wore it last time) but I do love my new coral jumper (love it even more as it is a small!!!).

Tuesday.

My outfit is so grey today - I kind of feel that way too. Again I did not sleep too well, then when I got up (eventually) this morning it stayed dark until 8am. The weather here is cold and dark, today the high has to be 46 - and I am feeling it. At the moment it is raining, the kind that is falling side ways so no matter what you do you get soaked to the skin.

Anyway, enough about the weather here in Scotland, the jumper dress that I have on today has been in a pile for eBay for a few weeks. The last time I wore it I was carrying a bit more weight and the look was not very smooth. I thought I would give it one last try this morning and I am happier this time around. But, I think my cream boots would have worked a little better than the grey. I think there is just too much grey going on.

This evening I am going out walking with my friend. We are trying to keep our walking up no matter what the weather is, that way we hope we will keep it up all winter. Winter is not even here yet and already I feel tired and sluggish. I am going to plan lunches and dinners to keep us going over the next few weeks, hopefully this will keep me on the healthier eating track. Any good recipes that feature lots of vegetables would be great!

Today's outfit is:

Grey & Cream jumper dress - American Eagle
Grey vest - Tesco
Grey Leggings - Vila
Grey boots - Topshop
Grey long cardigan - Blendshe
Turquoise necklace - Primark

Wednesday.

Last night after work I went and met a friend and we did our catching up while we went out walking to get some exercise. We got so carried away chatting that we did not realise that we walked for over an hour and a half (we think we covered about 3 miles maybe more). I then had a late dinner and tried to sort out the mountain of washing and ironing that I have.

Tonight, I am heading out walking with another friend, but this will be a quicker and shorter walk due to the weather and her childcare. Tonight I will manage to get some dinner before heading out.

Today's outfit consists of:

Black chiffon dress with grey polka dots - Blendshe
Black cami (not seen) - Primark
Black leggings - Forever 21
Black patent t-bar wedges - Baratt



The detail of the dress did not come out very well in the main picture so I took a closer one to show how pretty it is!

Wednesday.

Last night was very hot and humid and it is not much better today! I liked the look I achieved last week with the grey version of this skirt, so I thought I would give the black a try today! The vest top is another from my mini trip to H&M last week!

I have decided to step up my walk this evening, I am going to visit my friend she stays about a mile and a half away from me, so walking there and back should give me a decent work out! When I am alone I walk quickly, so the heart rate should be raised!!

Today's outfit consists of:

Black skirt - Vila
Yellow vest top - H&M
Black beads - H&M
Silver star necklace - Plume
