This is my “outfit of the day from last week” – I haven’t done one of these little posts in ages, and I was, for once, not wearing my pyjama or tracksuit bottoms, so I thought I’d record the momentous event for posterity.

So here you have me in two different (very striking, haha!) poses. I’m standing in the utility room of my husband’s ‘lair’ which is why the light-switch is so manky looking. To the far left of the second picture you can see a bottle of Flash bleach!

Anyway… I am wearing:

A Whistles Esther Skirt (which was £100 and something last winter but I have seen in the Selfridges sale for £65! HERE)

A Topshop Cotton Tee, they still have these – £10

A Whistles Cardigan/Jacket which I got for £55 in the last sales, I do not recommend this as threads pull out of it if you just even look at them. Nice shape, but it’s truly rubbish.

Sandals from Kurt Geiger last summer. These are rubbish too – the back strap falls down all the time. Probably because I’ve worn them so much!

Mulberry Tilly Tote in Sparkle Tweed Leather. Mmmm.

What started off as a very successful outfit soon turned into a nightmare. No sooner had I emerged from the tube at Oxford Circus than my sandals started playing up. Bending down to fix them I managed to flash my knickers at the man in the Chinese food stall and then my bag swung off my arm and clonked me in the face, pulling about a trillion threads from the sleeve of my uselessly-made Whistles cardy in the process!

No doubt I will wear this exact outfit again, though, because I’m a total glutton for punishment.
