Misty Evenings

So here it is, my first outfit post since coming back! I've been pretty excited about coming back to blogging again, and it feels particularly special going back to my old roots with a good ol'outfit post! Im hoping to post at least one outfit post a week, I'm trying not to set myself too many out of reach goals. Im hoping by doing this it means I do actually reach them, rather than setting them too high, failing. Then giving up because I'm annoyed at myself.


I'm also hoping that by blogging again It pushes me to take care of myself more, taking more pride in my appearance again. It's been awhile since I done that. What I mean by taking more pride in my appearance again, is I need to start having fun with outfits and dressing myself again. When I stopped blogging, I stopped dressing up altogether, I just lived in my skinny jeans and hoodies! And to be honest with you all, I have far too many clothes (embarrassing as that it is to admit) to live in the same outfit for over a year... One of the main reasons this happened, is because I did get a job. Monday to Friday I was wearing my work uniform, so when I was off I just wanted to be lazy and be cozy in oversized jumpers!




So, speaking of work. I had to get new work uniform and I hadn't seen a couple of friends out of work in quite a while. So we decided to make an evening of it. Its always quite nerve wrecking I feel, as you need to get it checked by the managers, just to make sure its suitable! But everything went good, as it always does really and a got quite a lot of items that I was quite happy with. I was a bit sad that one of the dresses I first had my eye on look horrendous on! It was a beautiful dress, but the style was just too big for me, 5ft life eh?



We then ended up going to Pizza Hut and stuffing our faces. It was great. The foodie that I am, ended up convincing the other two to get starters... I can't NOT get a starter. Am I the only one? As we were too busy chatting I forgot to film any for my weekly vlog or take any instagram photos... Plus as I've just started doing this again, I didn't really want to shove it in their faces or be weird filming & taking photos... But, they have both assured me that this is ok to do in the future!

Outfit Details
I actually wore this outfit a couple of weeks ago visiting my cousin, so I just decided to recycle it. Its comfy and great for a casual meal with your friends. It also kept my cosy with this lovely cardigan I picked up in the sale. It's a great extra layer you can just pop on. I think all the pieces work great together & a little kooky like I like to have my outfits. I think the hat keeps it chic while the chunky boots and the rocky top keeps the edge I crave.

SITTING & WAITING

Heya everyone. Been another sunny day! Me and Chris picked up Chris' mum from work again and were very kindly treated too some lunch again. I have no idea why Scotland has been so lucky with the weather recently. We are surely going to get an absolute pour down soon :( BUT luckily our sofa-bed arrived for the spare room, as we have invested in some studio equipment so we can make a start on getting clients. So it means i will have somewhere to take some photos, with good lighting! So hopefully ill never have to struggle with blogging again. I much prefer proper studio lights when taking photos inside because the lighting can be so poor. Plus i think it can look more professional as some light bulbs give off a sort of yellowish-tint to the photos and i personally really dont like that! 

I didnt get any pictures of my lunch, but we were treated to some cakes aswell and i got a victoria sponge cage which i have photographed! It was massive! I did not realise it was that big and i couldnt finish it. It was THE BEST victoria cake i had ever eaten... 


When me and Chris came back i had to drop off a parcel which had been mistaken for our address. After handing it over the elderly gentleman he said he had also gotten a few of my parcels before. The street names are the same (not going to say my address on the big wide web) except for one extra word being added so i guess there is a valid reason. We went for another walk as the weather was nice to the shops, this time to get fizzy juice and i again was treated to some treats! So im going to munch on them untill our gammon steaks defrost so we can eat dinner...


I came up with this outfit a few weeks ago and because i always day dream outfits and forget them i have a little pink book where i write outfit ideas into. I have wanted to wear this dress again for ages, so i thought today would be a good day too. Im so in love with this chunky Office shoes (they currently have 20% off ends 4th June), i love that they are a classic design of loafers and are edgy with the big platform. Plus i really love flatforms as im a shortie and it means i dont get sore feet as you do with heels. The cardigan is just to give me a little warmth in case there was a slight wind. 








Dress- Max C London at TKMaxx
Cardigan- Charity Shop
