Today's outfit is one I wore to wear errands on my day off. Popped to weigh in and did the weekly shop, all very dull. I picked up this dress in Primark ages ago and it was only about £8, I have them in a few colours and I think I will get loads of wear out of them this summer. They are so light and you can wear them with anything. Still in love with my Topshop biker jacket, I wear it nearly everyday.








I picked up this necklace on eBay for about £1.50, took a few weeks to arrive but you can't argue for that price. I don't think it is in stock anymore but the seller has lots of other lovely pieces for around the £2 mark.

I'm super excited about going to a library conference tomorrow, such a work geek some times. I will be able to put faces to twitter names of lots of Welsh library folk I follow on there. Got any exciting plans this week?

I wore trousers in a post a couple of weeks ago which was a shocker but now I've gone further and bought some shorts!! These were only £5 in Primark and I've bought them in a few colours. I did have to get a size 20 but then Primark is notorious for weird sizing. I've worn them to work with a nice jumper and on the weekend.
I think I look more my own age when I wear things like this, I'm not much older than the students who come in the library where I work but don't feel like I should be wearing smart office wear like some other people I work with. I'm in wardrobe limbo, don't really know what is appropriate any more.



I have been lusting after this t shirt for aaages, I wrote about it in my Reading festival post and I'm always looking on The Orphan's Arms website.I thought £35 was a little steep for a t shirt so I held off from buying it. They also stock this brand on ASOS and I took advantage of the 20% off festival style and added another 10% off code that I got from unidays so it went down to a much more reasonable £23.



I got a size 14 and I was surprised at how big it was, I don't like tight t shirts but if you do you might want to size down with this brand. The t shirts are hand printed in the UK and the motifs reference literature and history. I love anything history(studied it at uni) and book related so the brand is a big hit with me.



I've also been wanting a pair of these shoes for a while, they need to be a little grubby though so I will be jumping in some puddles and scuffing them up a little.

P.S. got lots of lovely size 12-22 things on eBay

I was sent this gorgeous dress by OneStopPlus a few weeks ago to review and immediately wore it to a Cardiff Blogs event. I picked it because of the lovely colour and it is a little less girly than the dresses I would normally get, I thought it made a nice change.OneStopPlus is a online plus size fashion retailer that stocks over 100 brands in sizes 14-40. I think there is a 25% discount on the site at the moment and 10% off if you join the  mailing list.





I loved the silky material and the bright colour, it felt very luxurious. I think you could wear this to a wedding, to work with a blazer or on the weekend with some heels. It was fairly pricey at £80+ but it really is a great dress, very classic.

I hereby pledge to finish the 30 Day Shred and try out a new form of exercise in May. (Please hold me to this!) Along with exercising regularly, a healthy eating plan is essential for a healthy body. If you need help with this, it could be useful to book an appointment with a dietician at one of the local private hospitals in Birmingham.
