It only takes a moment

 

 

     Today has been so wonderful. We broke up for half term on Friday and I had a day at drama yesterday ( and my second driving lesson, which was terrifying) so today was my first day off. Which was a wonderful feeling. I decided to go to the car boot sale in Wetherby as today is the final one before it finishes for winter. I got some brilliant bargains, including the leather jacket below for £8. I think that's pretty decent, as you would pay £40 or more in a shop for something similar, but anything over £5 feels ridiculously expensive at a car boot! I also got a dusty pink shirt and a striped pink shirt for school for £2.50, down from £4. (My haggling skills are improving by the week.)

     Then I went to White Rose to scavenge some boots for school, as it seems to be raining every day and I always come home with wet feet, so I need something to lift me off the ground slightly. Got the black ones below, and another brown pair with check lining (gorgeous) that I'm picking up tomorrow.

     Outfit for today was a dress I bought from H + M after school on Friday. it was only £10 (has now gone up to £13) and I just love the shape of it, although it is not, I repeat is not, suitable to wear outside when there is even the slightest breeze. Believe me. Wore with gold earrings and brown boots, and would have worn my new jacket it hadn't been airing on the washing line.

 

 



 

 

 

      Also, I know I said I wasn't going to be spending too much, but I do have a reason for this spend! My boss has gone on holiday and has decided to pay me a full days wages for what I would have worked today! So I had a bit of extra money, and saw some gorgeous things - why not? I got a lovely checked dress with a white Peter Pan collar from Primark for £13. I didn't think the shape would suit me at all, but it is slightly fitted and I love it! Then I got the mustard blouse from H+M, that they also do in a dress, (but I looked like a potato in that, so that was a no). The blouse looked much nicer anyway, with billowing sleeves and fitted cuffs. Then at New Look, I found a checked skirt and a 2 in 1 blouse and jumper for school.
     Checks are absolutely EVERYWHERE at the minute. It's metal: scarves, skirts, dresses, shirts, you can't get away from the stuff. I hope it doesn't get too overdone this season and become even more clichéd than it already is, as I love wearing checks!

Hope you all have a brilliant evening,
Hugs
