The Challenge - Day 5

Wednesdays is date night in this household, and even though we always plan to make use of Orange 2-4-1 Wednesdays, we always get dragged (not in a literal sense) into TGIs, because frankly, we love it. Sadly today we didn't have our favourite waiter, so it wasn't as great as always, however, as I am not a side salad only kinda gal, I am so full I appear pregnant with toddler twins, hence no full on pictures. Trust me, no one wants to see that.

Not an outfit I entirely loved, but that could also be to do with a long, wet day.

The trousers are actually skinny jeans from Primark (they're light grey), which I chopped and sewed into 3/4 lengths, my favourite kinda jeans. As I have proper calfs, most produced 3/4 lengths don't fit me, so I always buy cheap stretchy skinnies and make them into what I want.

I'm also wearing a black and white western style Collectif shirt, which will, within the remaining 45 days also make an appearance in red:

A plain New Look wife beater type thing, and I was wearing a black George at ASDA, waisted cardigan. Although me wearing it has given the cardigan immunity, it still needs to go. It sits weirdly and is roughly as flattering as a garbage bags, even wearing it tied at my waist didn't help, so once I have taken anything useful, such as buttons, from it, it is "Adieu Cardigan!" o'clock.

Shoe wise, I was wearing some adorable Schuh grey pumps, which I love, but haven't yet worn it, thus they still come with great pain:

I shall endeavour to wear them more!

As it seems to rain whenever I'm wearing 3/4 lengths, I'll try and send out prior warning :)

The Challenge - Day 2

I've never been one to dress weather appropriately, but today I really wish I had. After a wet and cold to hour journey to work (it usually takes under an hour), I was very much regretting rolling up my jeans 3/4 style, and I did actually wear them in the regular fashion on the way home.

But, here is Day 2 of the challenge:

As you can see, I am a) at work and b) somewhat blending into the chaise, which sadly isn't mine :( but I'm working on it!

Again, nothing spectacular, but I like the outfit in a comfy yet wildcat kind of way :) Old new look jeans (and with fat pants, I actually still fit into them), a grey Primark strappy top, a Collectif Leo Cardigan in grey, Schuh Leopard print pumps, and the headband was a present from the man meat (he knows me so well).

Let's hope the next 47 days work out this well (in terms of ease at least, comfort would be great too, but I still have some awkward clothes in the wardrobe).
