Shop your wardrobe!

That is my mantra for this season - well until my birthday in March.  I am not going to buy any clothes except tights and underwear!  Instead i am going to peer at my overstuffed wardrobe and try out things I don't wear that often and in different combos.  I do not rule out clothes swaps though and I did fall a bit as I bought a Vivienne Westwood dress in the netaporter sale yesterday (above) but that is going to be a birthday present from another.  Let me know if you got anything fab in the January sales so I can drool!

Been a bit absent.....

Too busy getting down to a size 12!  Also I have hosted a clothes swish and been to a more commercial one.  Vintage clothes swish in Brighton, you take along anything vaguely vintage y that you have (or vintage in style) and these items get checked in and you are given points for them.  When the sale opens then you can spend points!  I bought the gold dress, a red bag, a mustard shift dress and a lace top - all for stuff I had at home and I have points left - such a great idea!  The organisers make money as you have to buy a ticket for £5 but you also get a cup of tea and a cake.

I have also posted a picture of a shift dress I got from Primarche for £15 and I plan to wear it today to go to London to see 'Jerusalem' and also Boxing day on a visit to family.

Hope you all have a fabulous festive holiday time xxxxxx

Love this - want all of these jumpers!

Both Mary Portas and Melanie Rickey wearing these jumpers on TV last night - out of my league but so fab!

I heart Mary Portas so much

I have gone onto mytights.com and bought a pair of her 'armery' in an effort to disguise bingo wings!

Billy blooming bargain

Now that Elena and I have both bought these boots I can release their details!  They are lighter than DM's and look great under Elena's Chanel style (slash Primark) work dress.  I am hoping that I can wear them the same way and not look like mutton!  They are from Boohoo.com and are under clearance - 15 of your English pounds - 15!!!!!

Pencil skirt

I have been after this skirt for ages but Topshop had sold out of my size - it still has kinda but I am trying a slightly smaller one.

I was looking for tips as to how to style this and the Topshop stylist suggested with a stripy T shirt!  Radical I know.  I think it is the way to go as it could look very 'Bet Lynch' with high shoes and anything too feminine so toughing it up I think is the best way to wear it!  I will see when it comes anyway.  I really don't want to look like 'Taxi for Ms Mutton' so may have to send it back and it can then be relegated to the pile - along with puff ball skirts, strapless tops and big dangly earrings as 'things I used to wear'......
