Gasp...I'm Wearing Something That's Nearly Pink

Oh hey, what's this? An outfit post, in the new house? Woohoo!

Now admittedly it's not the best photography in the world as I still have to get to grips with the lighting - the green chandelier I absolutely *had* to have in the library is amazing but doesn't cast the most consistent glow in the world! But hey, how much better are LOADS OF BOOKS than a boring plain white wall? Pshaw, stylish bloggers, books will always win!

Actual house blog posts will follow at some point in the future. I know I moved in last November but I am a) extremely untidy and b) a world champion procrastinator so there are still plenty of bits that need fixing and/or tidying before I can record them for posterity on t'blog.

I felt rather sassy today though, so wanted to snap some outfit pics, dodgy lighting and all. My wardrobe has been somewhat lacking in #wardrobezoo recently and a horse print top is always a very welcome addition to the clan. It's verging on being pink but I won't hold that against it!

Love a good long top!

Brand New Bag

I don't have very much to talk about at the moment.

Haven't got any new clothes to show off, haven't been making or baking anything, haven't had time for any interesting thoughts on life. Haven't really been doing anything except painting a lot and giving myself inadvertent ombre locks by dipping the ends of my ponytail in the paint tin.

I bought a new bag though.

 *makes whooping new-bag sort of noises*



It's massive.  All bags should be massive.  I have so much crap to cart around with me that I simply can't cope with anything smaller. Minimalism ain't my bag. Muahaha, d'you see what I did there?

(sorry, paint fumes are clearly getting to me)

It was a proper bargain too. £15! It's been drawing admiring glances from all the gang at work.  They may also have been admiring my matchy-matchyness as it turns out to be exactly the same colour as my gloriously tomato coloured flats. What a happy coincidence.

A New Purchase

Spot what's new and different about my outfit today:



Nope, haven't accidentally lost a foot, although this photo does suggest it...




Is it that my shirt has PINK in it?



Well, yes, but that's not really what I'm talking about.

I've got my first ever pair of jeggings on! I'm such an early adopter of fashion trends. 
*snorks quietly to self*



I dunno, I think I assumed they were the crappy version of skinny jeans and I don't get on with jeans at the best of times, so I'd never bothered trying any.  Then I had a horrendous jeans shopping trip, threw a tantrum and went "OH FUCK IT, I'LL BUY SOME FUCKING JEGGINGS THEN. I GIVE UP."

Yeah, in the middle of Primark.  Oh well, that place has seen a lot worse. No-one batted an eyelid at my little outburst.  And it turns out that jeggings are alright. Definitely less hideous than the jeans I was trying on and a hell of a lot cheaper. A smidgen too long for my midgety legs but hey ho.

Check

I wasn't going to blog this outfit.

I was in the middle of a case of severe plague when these photos were taken and felt horrendous. As such, my motivation when selecting an outfit that morning was not "OMG, what can I pick that will look amazing?!" It was "hgggnnnnnrggghhh, need clothes that are clean and not pyjamas."

I was quite surprised when I dragged myself into work and got loads of compliments on my tights/shoes/frock/combo. Now I don't know if this is because it's actually that good or because some of the people there find the idea of patterned tights and polka dot shoes very lively indeed and were accordingly admiring of them. Probably the latter. It doesn't strike me as a massively exciting outfit, although I am fond of it.

What do you reckon?
