Love that Sleep has popped back Smile
Mara and Lib how are the heads. Lib how was my lovely hairdresser? Hating growing mine and missing my treat of a trip into town.
Cold again today - looks brutally chilly this weekend too. Have lovely days all.

I'm OK this morning. Just slept in a bit. No meetings till afternoon so it's fine.

shop Tim was great. Cut my hair about an inch shorter than was strictly required! I like it but keep having little moments where I wonder if I look a bit 'middle aged boring lady tries to do funky' Grin karcheer send me a pm and I will forward you his details.

OOTD Cos forest green midi dress, black opaques, R&B tan heeled Chelsea boots, rust pea coat. Leopard print scarf. I wear this outfit a LOT. Might stop posting it.

Morning! So i went into London to see the doctor this morning. I told her about going in to work yesterday. She gave me a look that I would imagine Sleep was giving me yesterday.Blush Then she prescribed inhaler, steroid inhaler, saline spray, steroid nasal spray and ABs. Umm I guess I was a bit sick then....am now back in bed.Blush

What's very annoying is I love my OOTD and I am at home all day now!Grin. It's me & em layering top over which I am wearing an oatmeal j crew cashmere sweater with beige banana republic skinny cords.Tanzanite, sapphire and diamond bling. When I went to the docs, I added Aquatalia brown long boots, Burberry coat, caramel cashmere beanie and my salmon pink PS13. I may be sick but I felt chic.Grin

Lib wear your repeat outfit with pride! If I find a combo I love I tend to wear it over and over again.

I am afraid I am definitely more in the sportswear as general wear lately, but tbh I'm really enjoying it! Just been with a client and we did a bit of kickboxing at the end of the chatty bit so I am wearing black Nike Internationalist trainers, black/silver reflective Nike tights, orange sports bra, black vest and my new Nike cape (birthday present from lovely MIL). I don't usually go so single brand heavy Blush!

Shop I thought your hair looked gorgeous yesterday. I was flicking through ST Style and there was a page on fringes and yours is just like one of those (far right if you have it).

Blingy I think getting properly ill has become your body's MO for finding a break in the non-stop pressure. Seriously, think about how to build in some more relaxation on a regular basis? Yoga, meditation, singing, painting...anything that you can switch your brain off and get lost in?

Hey Sleep, long time no see. Great cape from Anna.

Sounds like you two had a good evening Lib & Mara. Am still Grin at you 'big bastard' comment yesterday Mara.

My hairdresser is unwell so didn't get hair cut the other day. It's looking a bit of a mess atm- I hope I can get it sorted before the mu as the standard is so high!

Blingy Flowers and stay in bed.

Hello all (and big waves to Sleep!)

Lib the new hair sounds lovely, I bet you look great. Glad you and Mara had a good time last night.

Blingy OOTD sounds great, I know how nice it feels to get properly dressed after a period of loungewear Wink Fingers crossed all those prescriptions will do their job now.

My OOTD is grey Baukjen ruched wrap top dress and navy Uniqlo merino v-neck. It got me thinking, what bad fashion habits do you have? One of mine is definitely wearing light skirts with black opaques - it's so lazy and I think it looks bad but I need to be warm.

I ordered this MK dress from the outnet earlier as I think it'll be versatile for my Asia holiday, can wear it over/under a shirt or layering top, or alone. I want to try and do a capsule wardrobe.

Afternoon all

Such sad news about Alan Rickman. One of my favourite actors of all time - an immensely talented man.

On a lighter note, I ordered this dress yesterday. While it's fair to say I don't really need another black dress, I kept coming back to it so I had to try it. Will have to be perfect at that price though!

Have also signed up for a 10k so I have something to train for - I am always lazy when I have no goals. Going to brave the arctic temperatures and go out tomorrow for my first training run.

OOTD is ribbed burgundy polo neck (warehouse - saleswoman talked me into this, have worn constantly), black American apparel high waisted pencil skirt, Charlotte Olympia kitty flats and gold z for accessorize medallion. Added burgundy snake print cashmere scarf and cashmere wrist warmers to my burgundy teddy coat for the freezing temperatures!

Afternoon,

Lib lovely to see you last night. I am fine today too although was a struggle to get up this morning for early class. Ootd is navy cashmere polo neck with blue skinnies, marant boots and my big woolrich parka but am still freezing. Think I need some of this heat tech lots of you talk about. Didn't have time to dry my hair properly so plaited it and now have cold ears as well.

So sad to hear about Alan Rickman too and in same week as Bowie, a fantastic actor. Realised my classmates only know him from Harry Potter.

Blair probably not wearing things that need handwashing/special treatment enough as cba like nice underwear sets overlooked for stuff that can be machine washed.

Blingy Sad that you're sick again. Rest up.

Sleep if I had to match the clothes with the poster the camo cape would have your name on it! Very Z&V, think it will look fab on you.

mara when I was single and lived alone I used to wash my nice underwear in the shower with me in the mornings. Now I wear very boring undies that can be thrown in the washing machine... My husband is Hmm

Very sad about Alan Rickman. Sad That voice! I am sure I mentioned him once or twice on MNV as one of my celebrity crushes, mainly because of that voice.

My bad fashion habit is probablh not having my jeans shortened for ages ever

I am such a shortarse so most jeans are too long on me but often I just turn up the trouserlegs and pretend it's the way they are supposed to look.

I have had some of them shortened but not all....

Report
Karcheer · 14/01/2016 17:39

linus I'm the same never bother to have them shortened, nor jackets sleeves, they are always tucked under. Always too,excited to wear the thing as soon as I buy them!
I once had a cheap maxi dress from new look that cost £15 and £20 to take the thing up!

Evening I'm out for our wedding anniversary and it's fabulous. But I'm out three nights this week, tomorrow with friends. No dry January here!

Evening!

OOTD: J Crew cashmere sweater in neon pink plus J+ Uniqlo grey cardigan on top to keep warm whilst cycling, khaki cycling trousers and my good old pistols. Desperately need a haircut, but my hairdresser is not available till 27th.

Also bought this as I need a larger purse and this is on sale. Colour is actually more subtle in real life. Waiting for DH's Hmm reaction to me when I start swapping things over into the new purse!
