the night before Christmas
Or perhaps the “the night before the night before” as this is what I wore for my last working day this side of Santa.
Topshop penguin jumper, Primark skirt, Tesco tights and Yull boots. This jumper may have been way overpriced, but it makes me smile whenever I see it (and it made other people smile too) so a worthy investment.
And now, Christmas Eve. Always a funny day, the calm before the storm. No matter how old I get there is a bubble of excitement. My plan is to fully relax and enjoy my few days off work, and make sure that come the 28th Dec I go back chilled out and feeling like there has been a break…made that bit sweeter by knowing that after the 30th I have two whole weeks stretching ahead of me.
Has anyone started sales shopping yet? Damn there are some killer ones out there; Motel, Dorothy Perkins, Matalan, River Island, Topshop, ASOS…I just can’t stop window browsing. Half the fun for me is the anticipation/russian roulette of letting fate decide what you get by waiting for further markdowns; if what you want is even cheaper than clearly it is meant to be!

edging closer
And now we’ve hit those final few days…the moment we hit December 20th everything suddenly feels a lot more festive.
Wearing Primark jumper dress, Matalan tights and Blink boots c/o Spartoo. Perfect for a day mooching around the town and then bathing/hair dying/nail painting in prep for the party.
Hair result! The dye I use is Live Salon Style Intense Red 5-29, currently on offer at £3.99 in Superdrug! So much cheaper than an actual salon, even though my super thick hair takes two boxes!
I am hoping we have an excitable atmosphere at work today. I’m on admin for the whole of it, so if I’m lucky I might finish a little bit early so I can spend longer getting ready. I bought my Matalan dress so long ago now that I am hoping it still does up!
I can’t wait to see what everybody wears! This is my first (ever) proper work’s party and I’m like an excited child!

laced up
George at Asda dress, Tesco tights, I Love Shoes boots c/o Sarenza.
I’m pretty sure this dress has shrunk five inches since I last wore it. Thank goodness for the more relaxed pre-festive atmosphere at work!
Day off today, badly timed really as I could do with tomorrow off instead. Still, the day shall be spent pampering and getting as ready as possible for tomorrow night’s Christmas party as once I finish work tomorrow I will have an hour, at best!
Looking forward to getting my super vibrant red hair back…goodbye roots! Funny though, the home colour I used has far surpassed the colour the salon used. Even better for a tenth of the price!

retro weekends
The lovely folk at Matalan sent me this dress a few weeks ago, and for some reason, even back then, I deemed the weather too cold to wear it.
Add in a £5 Primark jumper, the ever faithful Tesco tights and my Yull Chelsea boots and ta-daa…one of the warmest outfits I’ve come up with to date!
Ever since I saw this dress in the S/S lookbook, I wanted it. I can’t explain why. I don’t think I need to really!
Thank you for the get well wishes, I am still full of cold, but my voice finally made it’s return during coffee with a friend yesterday afternoon.
We’re on the final leg to Christmas; I’m so excited for this week! Work Christmas party on Wednesday, plus the homecoming of my Brother. Thursday is Mum’s Birthday and then Friday we have a Christmas lunch at work…
bring it on!
