So what was it that tipped me over the edge?? There was in fact one wish list item that I was waiting (with baited breath) for November 1st to roll around so that I could buy! I have been trying to hunt down the the perfect pair of black boots (having just sold......ahem! 2 not so perfect pairs)! What I really wanted was a pair of Ash Jalouse but my 100 quid per month budget was not gonna stretch to those! I did a bit of research and well......it lead me to these from Office called Untouchable! And what luck that a voucher for 25% off just happened to pop up in Grazia this week! Who on earth in their right mind would be able to pass up on an offer like that if you were planning on buying them anyway!! See......I said powerless!
Now, November could prove to be a tricky month as we have a Christening so I am going to have to get seriously creative in the closet! As you will know if you have read some of my previous posts I am not a fan of buying dressier clothing that will only end up languishing in the back of the wardrobe! I won't be using what precious little I have to last me through the month on buying something new just for this occasion! But I would like to try and find something to update an outfit and to possibly carry me through the festive party season. Any ideas from you as to what to go for would be gratefully appreciated! What would you wear to a November Christening? I don't want to go too formal but I think it is an occasion where I need to look smart so I've been thinking jacket and heels or boots.......can you get away with trousers do you think? Well here goes anyway.....new mission set, it is now back to the pin board for me to glean some more inspiration!
Just a couple of outfits from the past few days to share!
First up was my Saturday daytime look
I have been up to my old tricks with this look as I had tried to replicate another on of my Pinterest favourites here
Have a Saturday evening look to show! Another tricky scenario to dress for as it was a house warming for our lovely new neighbours....what to wear?? I was trying to decide what to go for with a fuzzy head.....the starting of a cold! Went with my new boots from Office with Dorothy Perkins coated jeggings, Topshop cami, Zara jacket and New Look necklace.
Onto Sunday's outfits.....all about comfort. Luckily no sore head......I'm proud of myself for pacing it with the vino but I could have done with some matchsticks as we ended up rolling in at 4am again! Yawn! Donning my Topshop parka, H&M sweater and scarf, Gap outlet skinny's and Steve Madden boots.
What have I got in store next for you? Well I may have a little print themed Christmas wishlist on the go.....I'm trying to make things easy for the DH so it's a one stop shop! Can you guess where?? Not my usual stomping ground just to give you a clue but I have found some fab pressie ideas to tantalise myself with!
See you soon Michelle x
