The Boiler Suit

No, I haven't started a new career as an electrician... although this boiler suit may have you thinking otherwise. I'm a bit unsure about it still, especially without a belt. But I'm willing myself to keep it a) because I feel a good blogger for trying something a bit out of my comfort zone b)  because it was an incredible bargain. I spotted this in the dregs of the Topshop sale - it was a whopping £130 originally (wowza!). But I managed to get it for just £36. It's absolutely incredible quality (as you can imagine for that bleedy price!) and was made in Britain. Needless to say I feel like I'm wearing some kind of silky blue British luxury onesie wearing this.

Hope you've all had a super weekend! We've been delving into a cheeky massive birthday cake sized Fondant Fancy this weekend. What a dream. The reduced bit in the bakery section is definitely my weakness.

Hello again fellas (it's been a while! Well, two weeks to be precise). After a pretty manic couple of weeks, it's a relief to finally have a spare 15 mins to set up my camera and take some outfit snaps. Fortunately, I've somehow collated quite a bit to blog about (urmm, well, clothes). Looking forward to seeing what you guys make of my new garbs!

I picked up this skirt in the boxing day sales and almost shed a few happy sickeningly materialistic tears  upon seeing it could be mine for just £15. I can't lie, I was hoping and praying that this little baby would be in the sale the day I went shopping - how sad. The powers that be ensured it was even in stock in my size - wahey!

Grabbed this top yesterday for a measley £12.99 and I bloody love it. a) it's really comfy b) it's black c) it's checked. I definitely already have a stupid amount of checks in my wardrobe... but what's one little checked top?! OK... Must. Stop. Buying. Checked. Clothing.

It's been a while hasn't it! Although, not that much has changed since my face last appeared on here. But perhaps the most one thing is my hair. I decided to go for the chop just before Christmas. It wasn't one of those 'New Year, new start' thangs. It really had to be done as my mop had become a right straggly mess. Bless my hair, it's been through a lot - it deserved some money spent on it! Anyway, onto zee clobber!

I honestly can't believe the quality of these trousers. I can be a bit cautious of new brands (especially overseas ones where returning things is an absolute bugger). But I can honestly say, these are probably the snazziest trews I own! They're lined (offt fancy!) and are a pretty thick wool-like fabric. They're also the perfect length for me (they're rolled up here a little, but de-rolled with heels they'd be perf too). Having oddly short legs, this is quite the miracle. At just £27.72 these are a mega bargain.

My boyfriend did stop me as I was about to take these photos... 'hang on, those trousers remind me of something...oh, you're like Cruella de Vil'. Thanks Matt. But I love'em. (No Dalmatians were harmed in the making of this post)
