Holiday Outfit #4

Here's the last of the outfits I wore while in Benidorm. When you're reading this, I'm actually in Wales on another week's holiday, so rest assured there'll be more outfits coming!

Cat t-shirt, New Look

Cardigan, Sainsburys

Half-chiffon skirt, Yours

I love this cat t-shirt, how cute is it?!

Holiday Outfit #3

I bought this dress in the Simply Be sale at, like, Christmas, and kept it new for when I went on holiday. It's strapless, so I teamed it with my white cardigan. Because it was so hot I was wearing my hot almost all the time on holiday.

Dress, Simply Be

Cardigan, Sainsburys

Please excuse the can of Fanta that I'm trying to hold out of shot!

Close up of my leggings, which came from eBay a couple of years ago. Really cool in the heat!

Holiday Outfit #2

I'm slowly catching up with these outfit posts from my holiday, and soon I'll be on holiday again and will take more photos! Ah well...

This top was in the sale in Evans when I went shopping with the fat babes in June. It's silky at the front but has a stretch back. I liked the pattern and the silkiness, and it was a bargain at £10!

Half-chiffon skirt, Yours clothing

What I Wore 25th August

Lee and I were out of food almost entirely, so we decided to bite the bullet and head to Asda. I LOATHE supermarkets, and we always argue when we go - I've been known to just abandon an entire basket of shopping cos I get so annoyed! We usually do it in small bits or get it delivered, but today we braved it, and it was actually fine.

Here's what I wore. I got this Simply Be dress in the sale a couple of months ago, and I LOVE the pattern on it. It's gorgeous!

Please excuse the mess to my right, it's still carpeting from when we redid the living room! 

Dress, Simply Be

Leggings, H&M

Shoes, Dr Marten

What I Wore August 27th

I went to Sheffield on Tuesday to meet a new friend/bookkeeping client. We went to the Blue Moon Cafe which is near the cathedral. It's all vegetarian with a wide choice of vegan food too - I really recommend it if that's your bag. I had an excellent roasted veggie burrito with lots of yummy salads, and a gorgeous vegan chocolate and coffee torte.

I asked P to take this photo as we left. As you can see, I've dyed my hair. It's purple up close, but lots darker than it was - I'm not used to it yet! Lee did it for me.

This dress was from Asos in the sale and I really like it.

Dress - Asos Curve

Belt - Evans (thanks Chloe for foisting this upon me!)

Leggings - H&M

Shoes - Dr Martens

What I Wore August 24th

So my friend announced that she was coming up from Oxford and was I free to see her? I was, but I didn't have time to shower, so here's what I threw on to go to the pub for lunch.

I do like this dress, but it's a bit longer than I'm used to, and wearing short leggings with it feels weird. My long leggings were in the wash, so I opted to go out with bare legs! This was WAY out of my confort zone but I was determined to do it anyway!

I've also decided to start wearing my Dr Marten boots again. It's part of the hard femme aesthetic that I try to embody. I had them when I was a teenaged goth and was rarely separated from them for about 4 years. I could never bear to throw them away even though they're a bit knackered. Knackered boots are the best! I bought some new laces on eBay, they're hot pink satin ribbon with aglets on the end for threading. I think they look ace!

Dress, Asos

Boots, Dr Marten

Laces, Pimp My Shoes

Lee told me that I looked really two-tone and that he liked it :) 

What I Wore 21st August

21st August was Lee's birthday. He was born on his dad's 21st birthday, and also happens to share it with the late great Joe Strummer. During the day we went swimming at a leisure pool in Sheffield, and in the evening we went to Akhbars in Leeds for curry with my mum and stepdad. It was so good!

Here's what I wore. I didn't get the Beth Ditto dress the first time around but I managed to get this on eBay for around £15 a couple of years ago. I've only worn it once before but I can't for the life of me remember why! I love it! I'm wearing a cardigan because I'm self conscious about my upper arms, but I did take it off in the restaurant as I was just so hot!

Dress, Beth Ditto at Evans

Cardigan, New Look

Leggings, H&M

And here's my face. The lipstick is Russian Red by MAC, it was an anniversary present that I bought in Manchester airport on our way to Spain. I scrub up alright, don't I?
