Current buy - Pretty Little Thing plus wrap off the shoulder jumper

Hello loveys, 

I'm back with another outfit post. I think I may have got my blogging mojo back! The are two new things in this post - a wrap off the shoulder jumper from Pretty Little Thing, and some faux leather joggers from ASOS Curve. I'm wearing a size 28 in the jumper and size 30 in the joggers as I wanted them to be baggy.

Pretty Little Thing plus wrap off the shoulder jumper review in size 28The jumper is a fine knit and is very close fitting, it just about fits over my shirt potatoes. If you're between sizes and have the scope to size up, do. You can flash as little or as much boob as you want to by pulling it more off the shoulder. 

The joggers have pockets - huzzah! - and are nice and baggy as I wanted them to be. They're very high waisted but don't stay there because of the slippy fabric, so I do have to put up with a bit of baggy ankle. They don't rustle much as I walk and they do make me warm, but it's nice when it's freezing outside. 


I got both of these items on a discount code. I paid about £13 for the joggers (they were in the post Christmas sale and I had a discount code) and the jumper was about £15 with a code. I got them with my Christmas money.

Current buy - ASOS Curve green sweat dress

Hello lovelies, 

I bought this sweat dress in the ASOS Curve sale at Christmas time. I got it in a size 30 for that super oversized feel. All sizes are still in stock at the time of writing and it's only £9.

Current buy - ASOS Curve dark berry sweat dress

Hello loveys, 

I've decided to label my outfit posts with either 'Current buy' so you know you can still buy things, or 'Shopping my wardrobe' so you know it's old. 

I've had this ASOS Curve sweat dress for a couple of months but it's still available. I wear it about once a week as it's like a hug you can wear. So cosy!

I sized up to size 30 for a really oversized feel but I needn't have. It's a really oversized item already. It washes so well too. As you can see it's knee length on me and I'm 5ft 5 inches tall.

Shopping my wardrobe - snake print tunic

Hello lovelies, 

How is January treating you so far? I've got Labyrinthitis, an inner ear infection that causes vertigo and nausea. I'm taking it a day at a time. 

Here I'm wearing something from my existing wardrobe again. This is a tunic from Yours Clothing from a couple of years ago. 





I don't know why I'm sharing, as very few people read my posts any more. Maybe it's to say I'm still alive, I'm still here, and I'm still plodding on even though my life has gone to shit over the past few years. If I can do it, you can too if you're also struggling. 

I received a lovely email from someone who still reads my posts. Thank you May! 

Thanks for reading.

Winter layering

Hello lovelies! 

It's been colder than a witch's tit here in the UK so I've been layering under or over my clothes to keep warm. This day I wore a red long sleeved top under a shirt sleeved dress to stay toasty. You can't see it because I'm wearing my jacket, but wearing something under or over a summery dress is a great way to maximise your wardrobe. 




Here's me wearing the dress in 2017.


Everything in this outfit is old but my hat, but it's out of stock at the moment (River Island). 

How are you keeping warm? 

Thanks for reading.

Happy 2021 - I'm still cute

Hello lovelies! 

I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year? Mine was really quiet but good. I don't have a lot of money for outfits these days (which is one of the reasons I hardly blog any more) but I've decided to work with what's already in my wardrobe rather than always looking to buy new things. 

Here's a recent outfit I put together which I really love.

In Need Of A Good Night's Sleep?

Hey loves, this is a collaborative post (not written by me).

If you're not sleeping well right now, you're not alone. Many people are suffering from anxiety or stress due to coronavirus and are worrying about their jobs, money, family members, catching the virus and the uncertainty of what will happen over the next couple of months. However, right now, to fight and avoid this virus, it's important to be as healthy as you can be and sleep is so important for your health. If you're struggling to get a decent night's sleep right now, here are some tips to help you.

Stay in a good sleep routine.

While it can be difficult if you're not working right now or some days you're working from home so can sleep in longer than other days, if you want to sleep well every night then it's really important to get in sync with your body's natural sleep-wake cycle and try to keep to this. Go to bed and get up at the same time each day and avoid sleeping in—even on weekends. If you can do this, you'll soon find that you feel much more refreshed and energized.

Use a Sleep App

Sleep apps can wake you up naturally when you're in your lightest sleep, which helps you to wake up feeling fresh instead of an alarm, making you jump and leaving you feeling groggy. Sleep apps are also really useful for data too as they show you how much sleep you have and what your sleep patterns are

Wind down and clear your head

It's important to deal with your stress before you go to bed. Try having a bath or reading a book to prepare your mind for sleep. Getting into a good bedtime routine and freeing your mind will really help you to sleep well. Try a relaxation technique, dimming the lights and listening to soft music or an audiobook, or click here to find out more about CBD and how this can help you to relax.

Avoid bright screens

Try to avoid bright screens before you go to bed. The blue light emitted by your phone, tablet or computer is not good for sleep, and neither is a lot of the material you are taking in on these devices either. If you want to read, read a book but try to avoid screens as much as you can. If you must use a screen, then use a device with a smaller screen and turn the brightness down.

Turn off the TV

Many people believe that watching television in bed helps them to relax. However, again the light from the TV is no good for sleep, and it suppresses melatonin which is the hormone you need to go to sleep. Also, just like with using your phone or laptop before bed, the content is usually stimulating rather than relaxing, which won't help. Try listening to relaxing music or audiobooks instead.

Exercise during the day

People who exercise regularly sleep better at night and they feel more alert and energized during the day. You don't need to do a lot, simply start with a ten minute home work out each day and see if you notice a difference.
