No Debutante - Back to Black

Phew! I have had a busy few days with parties and birthdays, I did get time to take the personal style pics but I have had no time or energy to write a blog post on my chosen outfits, so yet again I will have a back log of outfits to get through. Today I am showing what I wore over the weekend whilst taking seven little boys to the cinema, followed by a day spent at a toyshop and the hospitals A&E dept - a baby with an allergy, don't ask! 

I looked casual for my cinema visit dressed nearly head to toe in black (very un-me like) in a long vest top, leggings and leopard print sandals and I even wore my hair down for a change, I'm still not convinced on that one, If I wear it down I want it to be really long so I can swish it about and play with it! I think that may be a long way off yet....ahem... On Sunday I was rather over dressed for the A&E Dept and toyshop with my victory rolls and crop tops but I was passed caring, the photographs look quite casual though so can't have looked as outrageous as I felt!

Fashion Newsflash.......I am not happy with the dress that I have bought for my friends wedding, which is in two weeks!! When I received the cute Peter Pan collared floral mini dress I was not happy with the A-line cut -they had nipped in the waist on the website, so I thought it would be more fitted. I have come to the conclusion that despite loving and wearing sixties style dresses for years, they actually do not compliment my figure at all!! They are firstly, very short, I know I wear alot of outfits that show off my legs but I do like to accentuate my waist to compliment my rather sporty thighs, so an A-line dress with its lack of waist is a total fashion no-no! The other problem with the dress is that the Peter Pan collar is a bit too tight and won't stay flat, which would bug me. In a last attempt at improving the dress I tried it with a belt, nipping in the waist....the dress is going back tomorrow!! 

So my dilemma is, do I look for another dress? Do I have time? Shall I just wear one of my many dresses?? The dress saga continues.......

No Debutante - Holiday In Cambodia

Firstly, I would just like to say a great big thank you to all of my followers and readers, in the past month my daily page views have more than doubled, as with my amount of followers! I am so happy and right chuffed!! Thanks Kids!!!

I have spent most of today trying to find a not too expensive, but not too cheap holiday to Spain and as yet have not had much luck! I seriously need a week in the sun since the weather here in the UK is so random and the summer is never a sure thing. I NEED to be able to wear my summer clothes, I always get excited at the idea of seeing the next Spring/ Summer collections but there is always a niggle in my head that I won't be able to wear these items without layers of cardigans, jackets and tights! Well, I won't stand for it and I'm booking a holiday, I can't take the risk, enough is enough!! 

Today was another windy, rainy day here in Bristol but I dreamt of summer clothes and dressed myself up Festival style in a skull tee and denim cut offs (and tights and a cardigan, it was freezing!!) and my creepers (this weeks shoe obsession) and braved the photographs as my son Mika, took continuous shots of me, which is why I am laughing in the photos, these random shots turned out more natural than posed. I wish I could open my eyes wide in the sun, I never have been able to do it, all my holiday photos of me as a kid are of me squinting with one eye shut, Phil reckons it's because I always wear sunglasses but seriously, I can't see in the sun! Just to clarify, today was sunny but windy and freezing!

Here's today's outfit in a Monochrome Festival stylee.....Brrrr!

Thanks a million, billion for reading!
