Are you ready?

Tuesday 30 March 2010

to see me without makeup and with two day old bedhead? Of course you are! Actually, I don't think this photo is too hideous (you should have seen the other ones!), and I did promise a while ago that I wasn't going to shy away from posting the more boring outfits. So here you go:




Jeans & black top - Primark
Grey top - Dorothy Perkins
Necklace - Accessorize
Ancient pashmina
And odd socks of course!





So my question of the day is - how tall do Primark think that short people are?! These jeans are definitely from the short range and they're a good 5 inches too long. I've worn them scrunched down over boots today which didn't exactly look great and although I quite like the turn-up look, I'm not so sure it's the way forward. The only reason I did it for the photo was because the hems were soaking wet from walking through puddles . Hmmm, probably not worth bothering about too much as they're already too big and hopefully I'll be into a size smaller fairly soon.


And speaking of puddles, has anybody else had any interesting weather today? I was merrily typing away at my desk this afternoon and then GLOOM descended. It was so dark outside, then this happened, followed by a glorious burst of thunder and lightning! All very exciting!

  2. Primark jeans are utterly ri-DONK-ulous. I have rather long legs (34in!) and have a black pair from there that require a 5 in turn up! They look stupid, I tend to only wear them with boots! Silly Primark.

  3. As much as I love Primark, & tend to defend it to the bitter end - I do agree that trouser/jean lengths are sometimes rather.. wrong.

    The weather today has been bloody horrendous - although, is that snow in your pics?! We certainly haven't had any of that! Just rain, rain, wind, sunshine, rain, hail, rain, wind etc..

  4. As a petite woman myself, It's crazy how hard it is to find shorter pants!

  7. You do look gorgeous! Haven'y a clue about Primark jeans but the the fit and the funky turn-ups...better than being ankle skimmers any day of the week!

  9. You look fab hun! I totally agree about the length of some Primark things- some things are ridiculously long then on the other hand some dresses are sooo short! Love the weather pics (not the weather though lol)
