Party dress - Lou Lou black dress

Another Christmassy type post today - I love dresses and looking feminine but I'm quite short (5 ft 4ish) so often find it hard getting dresses to fit me properly and that don't make me look like a shorty! I received this Lou Lou number last week and love the asymmetric style of the dress, and the cut outs make it a bit sexier too so can be dressed up or worn dressed down like how I'm wearing it. The fabrics slightly stretchy so fits snug, and the sizing is good and true to size - Lou Lou is quite a new brand but over the past few weeks I've seen it popping up in high street stores and online. It's definitely a great party dress and if I was heading for a night out I'd lose the leggings and fur collar, as it's chilly they'll be staying on during the day!
It's our work Christmas party tomorrow lunch time, we're only having a quiet one with a chinese buffet but should be fun nonetheless. I'm currently nursing a sore hand as i somehow managed to get it stuck in the car door last night at tesco's, ouch...anyway i hope you like this dress as much as i do :)

What I wore today - Zara pearl open stitch cardigan and snakeskin print trousers

Today I'm having a lazy day at home, I don't really show what I like to wear whilst chilling out at home so though id post this outfit so you can see. It's not very often I have a whole day to myself to do nothing, so I'm relishing the opportunity today. I went to the annual Beaujolais Noveau last night in Malvern with my mum and sister, we go every year as one of my mums French friends hosts the evening in her and her husbands beautiful apartment, the wine, food and conversation was so entertaining and ended up being a fantastic night, as always. I was meant to be going out with my Dad tomorrow night with my brother and sister to celebrate my birthday ahead of next weekend, but he's torn the ligaments in his foot and ankle whilst moving house so can no longer drive over from Stafford! So disappointed as I don't get to see him all that often so we'll have to rearrange.
Back to the outfit, it's a perfect lounging around outfit as these trousers are stretchy, the cardigan cosy and the boots are flat just incase I need to pop out to grab a few supplies. I've also got a few chores to do which is pretty unexciting, then tonight I'll be watching strictly come dancing in my pj's! Do you have any plans or anything exciting going on?

What I'm wearing today - cosy knitwear and boots

Hello, I hope you're all well and good. That's right, I've started cracking out the inapropriate proper knitwear already, I just couldn't resist and it looked super cozy! This type of cardigan is always a staple of mine for autumn as I can throw it on over anything and it's generally a good transition piece, I've seen some amazing chunky cardis like this on the high street recently so it inspired me to wear this one again - I really like the Aztec/Navajo type style and prints around at the moment and I adore both red, white and grey so I'll definitely be wearing this in the chilly months to come.
I've still got a silly amount of unpacking to do after the move, hopefully this weekend I can pop into town to get some storage bits and clothes rails so I can start to get on top of it all, and then I can do a proper sort out of what I want to keep and sell...and then maybe go shopping for snuggly jumpers!
We're having a celebration lunch at work today to celebrate one of the girls getting married at the weekend, it consists of lots of hot chicken and tasty bits and bobs so i must get back to munching otherwise i'll miss out!
Have a great day.

What I wore today - leopard mullet top

It's Thursday which means its Friday tomorrow - woo! How's your week been? Mines been pretty good, I've just working and going to the gym/swimming, plus chilling at home mostly. I'm thinking of going to Birmingham on Saturday to do a TINY bit of shopping and mooching around, it's only half hour on the train from where I live so it's quite convenient as it has all the shops I could possibly wish for. Plus it's amazing for people watching (one of my favourite things to do). My sisters back from Barcelona at the weekend too so will definitely have a catch up with her and get all the gossip from her trip!
So I thought I'd wear my lovely new topshop leopard print blouse today, I love it as it has a mullet hem and low cut back - I was a bit unsure in the shop but so glad I bought it, I'll be layering it up in the winter too with long tops underneath and a big chunky snood.
Wow my face is do shiny today, I think it's the humidity in the air, sorry guys it's not a good look at all. Well in off to do my dinner, I've got tuna steak so I'm looking forward to it.
