Getting Dressed

Wednesday 20 June 2012




Goodness me, I feel as if I've forgotten how to get dressed recently, let alone do an outfit post.  I am fighting a joint battle against the last, lingering effects of the plague (I have been blowing my nose for 10 days now - it is SORE) and trying to reduce the overwhelming amounts of stuff that I own. More on the decluttering saga at a later date, but in brief - so much stuff.  No room.  Am living surrounded by towering heaps of crap that I don't know what to do with.  Help.

Despite the fact that I've actually done some ironing for once (I know, right? I'm as surprised by this as you are), it doesn't mean clothes are actually accessible at the moment.  I just cast my eye over the easily reachable things and went: t-shirt, yup, shorts, yup, still not warm enough to go bare legged so tights, yup, boots, yup.  This pair were so desperate to be worn that they fell out of the wardrobe and threw themselves across the room.


Note to self.  Don't take outfit photos at 5pm.  You look crumpled.
Tshirt - Hero and Cape
Shorts - H by Henry Holland, Debenhams sale
Boots - Aldo, Asos sale
Rings - Landbaby (owl) and Dorothy Perkins sale (white)

  16. Ha ha ha - I told myself that this was the weekend when I would rediscover my bedroom flor! I had visions of matching coat hangers all facing in the same direction and my clothes organized by category and colour evenly spaced in my wardrobe. I even imagined a fab DIY project for organizing my jewelery. Of course it's late Sunday might and once again I have pent the weekend faffing about, reading, eating and generally avoiding all housework. No doubt I will get dressed for work tomorrow by rummaging though the piles on floor/ end of bed/ chair ...sigh!
    Love your blog by the way - you always look fabulous !
