Out of work uniform

As you know I have to wear a uniform at work which takes the fun out of dressing for 4 of 10 days in my 'week' but I have never really minded. After many years of wearing office wear and having to decide what to put on every morning this is much easier. And it makes choosing what to wear out of work more fun. Or so I thought. Over the past few days I have taken some snaps with the aim to update my blog when I am off work. Now I have looked back at them I see I am wearing exactly the same outfit on each one!

So I now have a work uniform and an out of work one. I must work harder to rectify this! But jeans are so easy and comfy and they require no thought when I open my wardrobe doors.

Practically pajamas

As we were late back from the wedding on Saturday and really tired I could not be bothered thinking about what outfit to wear today so I was really pleased when this one just happened! I decided to wear the trousers I had in the Whistles winter sale for the bargain price of £35 (amaze!) and thought they would work well with my faithful denim shirt. 

I have been trying to wear in the Toms that I have had for over 2 years and barely worn and as they were laying on the floor I threw them on too! Easy, and I think worked well for a lazy Sunday. These trousers are so amazingly comfy they are literally like wearing you pj's all day.

We popped out to Tesco so I grabbed the bag that I had from my Mum this week for my birthday. It was a Matalan bargain again and I really love it. I think it will work well with loads of my clothes.

Making the most of the sunshine

We are spending the day enjoying the sunshine as I hear that it will be back to dull skies tomorrow. I had a few errands to sort in relation to us hopefully moving house. I am looking forward to Pilates later, I haven't been to a class for a while and am really missing it and my yoga class. I knew work would get in the way of my life!

My dress is a few years old from Kew. I have to say that I am not really loving the style. I love the fabric and the print but have never been that keen on it. I think it looks much better with the tan M&S belt to nip in the waist.

Twins 1st birthday part 1!

It is hard to believe that our beautiful twins are nearly one year old. This time last year I remember feeling very fed up and wanting them here but knowing that I had to grow them for a little longer!

We were celebrating with Jonny's family today and it was a beautiful day for it, and on a bank holiday too! We had some birthday lunch in the garden and then went to Wollaton Park for a stroll in the sun. The twins enjoyed being set free on the grass and were speed crawling everywhere.

As it was a lovely day I decided to get out my shorts and it was the perfect weather for them. I wore them with a top that I had for my birthday from Fat Face. It was lovely and cool in the warm weather. I wore the Toms again and a pink belt which I cannot recall where I got it and a necklace that I had from the twins for my birthday. My bracelets are so old, I got them in San Francisco years ago.

Something exciting happened to me last night, I was laying in the bath reading Grazia magazine and realised I am famous! A comment that I made on their website had been printed in the magazine. I could not believe it and promptly text practically everyone I know to tell them! It was just a passing comment one day when I was browsing the Grazia site. Wow, my name in print ha, ha!

Wedding weekend

This Saturday we were lucky enough to spend the day at Jonny's cousins wedding near Liverpool. It was a beautiful day and we got very excited when we saw the sea. Living in very landlocked Nottingham this is a big deal for us! I have to admit that Jonny saw it first and started beeping the horn in excitement, yes, we really are that sad!

I was undecided about what to wear and in the last week or so decided to order a dress I had seen in Next as it was such a bargain at £35 and looked really nice. I went for the bright orange colour and am really pleased I got it as it is lovely. I wore it with the little cream jacket I have posted a few times on here from Matalan and the nude heels I had for my birthday. 

I also wore my chunky gold cuffs and a thin gold necklace which I think I had when I was Christened but it seemed to sit well with the neckline of the dress. My watch is a vintage gold one I got from a vintage fair a couple of years ago and I only tend to wear for special occasions. I used my nude leather bag which I had a few years ago from the limited collection at M&S and seem to get out for all occasions as it goes with anything!
