Back To Work

I love sweater dresses. They just don't require any thought when it comes to accessorising. Whack one on over tights or leggings, pull on some boots and you're good to go. Perfect for days like today when I had an extremely early start for a pre-work trip to the dentist and no time or energy to pull anything more complicated together.

Also perfect for a day when I'm feeling rather grotty and wanting to hide behind clothes rather flaunt them. This is bold enough to take the attention away from my face. Look how pale and gruesome I am! I would much rather have been in bed today but there was work to be done and lots of it. So in I went.

Sweater dress - Rise Elite @ Dorothy Perkins (yes, I know it's technically just an oversized jumper but it's going in the sweater dress section of my wardrobe, not the jumper section. So there.)
Leggings - Marks & Spencer
Boots - Evans
Jewellery - H&M

I'm after a nice pair of black knee high boots in the sale but am struggling to find any. I have chunky calves so I can't really trust buying a pair online in case they don't fit and all the nice ones I've seen in store are either still really expensive or only come in brown. If any of you happen to have seen any nice, cheapish, black ones, please let me know! In the meantime, my trusty short pair will have to do.

Hello from Herefordshire

So then, the wi-fi works!

In typical form, I've managed to balance things out by killing some form of technology and MELTED the tv remote control by not realising it was on top of the fire. I am exceedingly dim sometimes.

It's quite dead.

The cottage is lovely and I'm having a fab time so far - shall do general holiday photos at some point this week if you won't be bored by them, but for today I shall just do a quick outfit post. I really must get more comfortable with someone taking my picture as I feel really self conscious still and so all the photos taken of me today look awful and really unflattering! Ho hum. Back to the tripod it is.

Jumper - H&M
Shorts - H by Henry Holland at Debenhams
Tights - M&S I think. They're a lot darker and greener than they're showing up in these pics.
Boots - Evans
Coat - Tu
Ribbon - from a Lush giftset
Socks - Dorothy Perkins
Nails - Barry M in Racing Green (v. difficult to photograph properly!)

I quickly replaced the ribbon with a knitted headband/earwarmer thingy as it was so flipping cold today but no pics of that. There will probably be some soon though because I rather love it. Not as much as I love these shorts though. Aren't they great? 25% off as well - gotta love random sale weeks.
