The Black Dress

Hi!

I went to Tesco shopping and guess what! I bought some clothes. Maybe one day I will go into a supermarket and just buy food...maybe!

There were quite a few items on sale so I couldn't resist having a peek through.

I picked up this gorgeous dress for £7. It's skater style which is something that I normally stay away from because of the 'bubble butt'. This one does come up a bit at the back but only about 1/2 inch which isn't too bad compared to other skater dresses I have tried.

There is leather look detail on the shoulders which I love. The material just skims over all my lumps and bumps so I felt really comfortable in it when I wore it to work. I paired it with a cardigan, black leggings and short boots.

I also picked up a lovely chiffon top that was on sale but I will show that in another post!

 





Much Love

    You look adorable! Very appropriate work outfit, and I think skater dresses suit you. You should try them more often.

Pretty in red

Hi! We paid a visit to the lovely town of Cirencester a few weeks ago. Whilst we were there we had a quick wonder around and also managed to pop into a shop or two! I haven't had much luck with charity shop finds this year, every time I see something nice it's never in my size..bah! Anyway I saw a British Heart Foundation and thought I would have a quick look in. The first thing I saw was this gorgeous top, it was originally from M&S and still had the tags on. I didn't try it on as I thought it looked big enough and at £3.99 I had to snap it up! I paired it with this pretty skirt I bought from the New Look sale a few weeks ago. This was going to be my Plus North day outfit but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to wear it. I forgot I had a white bra on! Do you ever shop in charity shops? Much Love N x

Food | Breakfast Time!

Hi, A good weekend for me starts with a good breakfast, not just a bowl of cereal but creamy eggs on toast, juice and maybe a pastry or two! If you follow me on Instagram you will see that most weekends I post stories of Mr C and I at our favourite breakfast spot, The Batch Café. We first discovered the Batch back in 2017 after spotting it on Instagram. I said to Mr C that we had to add it to our list of places to try. Our first visit was late one Saturday morning so it was more brunch than breakfast. Mr C opted for a ploughman's lunch and I went with my favourite, scrambled eggs on toast. I'm super fussy when it comes to scrambled eggs, I love fresh eggs with a bit of salt and pepper, they have to be creamy but not too runny and piping hot. I have been to many places where I have left my eggs, if I can't tick all of the above then I won't eat them. As soon as I tried the ones at the Batch I told Mr C we would be coming back. The eggs were perfectly cook

Hi! Theme 4 - Short(s) Date 25th June 2015 Theme: Short(s) Our next theme is Short(s), feel free to use your imagination for this one and I can't wait to see what you all come up with.  First of all I have to apologise for missing the previous OMCZ challenge, it was the first time that it actually defeated me! I took some pictures but wasn't happy showing my tum so they were swiftly deleted and I never got time to re-do them again! As I purchased some new shorts recently for the summer I thought the OMCZ challenge would be the perfect time to show them! Top - old f21 Shorts - new look  Hat - h&m Don't forget to check out the other lovely ladies taking part!
