Seriously weather, do behave yourself

Wednesday 31 March 2010



It's hailing - AGAIN! I've already been thoroughly rained on today and also nearly blown over by the wind which is quite some achievement given that I'm no lightweight! I would like to respectfully request that the bad weather sods right off. I have dresses and impractical shoes to wear and I'm bored of the rain and wind now.



Today's outfit was basically this one as I have shamefully few pairs of shoes that actually keep my feet dry. I had to start with boots and work around that. As there wasn't much point wasting camera memory on virtually identical photos, I took some snaps whilst I was out and about instead. Location - an excessively windy and rainy Liverpool city centre (I escaped the office to go on a Social Media Marketing course - rather fun just nattering about blogs and Twitter!).




You wait for one bus and then seven turn up at once...





The main train station is being redeveloped and this rather quirky little paving stone is one of the features.




Yup, Primark really does take up almost the entirety of this building.




And finally, it's not a Liverpool based blog without a shot of the Liver Buildings, is it? I wasn't down on the waterfront today but this Liver Bird popped its head above the new shopping development and was just asking to have its photo taken.




ps - I am suffering slight shoppers guilt, having just spent more than I planned on a gorgeous blazer. It wasn't really expensive, but my clothing budget this month is miniscule and I appear to have blown it already. Whoops! When I feel guilt-free enough to take it out of the bag, I may share a photo.

  4. I think the weather is picking up again today though Alex, hopefully where you are too!
    And don't beat yourself up on the blazer purchase, you will get a lot of wear from it, so it's a good investment buy :)

  5. Yes, the Primark is absolutely huge, but it tends to be the same stuff on repeated on different floors and the queues are incredible! Plus it looks like a bomb has gone off by lunchtime - I still love it though!
    Pah to rubbish weather, its sunny at least today but blowing a gale.

  12. Eurgh I know, the weather is doing my head in!!
    No point making the effort to look nice because you're going to be a soggy frizzy windswept wreck within 2 minutes! Very frustrating!
    Nice pics, I hope you do show us your new blazer! X

  13. Thanks for the comments - sorry I'm only just getting back to you - consider yourself entered into the giveaway :)

    As for the tights, I actually thought of you as I ordered them! I thought they were the same ones I've seen on you (& probably commented on!)

    I'm really looking forward to seeing this expensive blazer! It definitely deserves to be taken out the bag &shown off a bit (or, a lot!)
