OOTD: Thursday 25th June 2015

I love this outfit!! It's one of my favourite picks from the wardrobe I invested in when I got my job last year. When I bought this top it was tight around my love handles.... but not anymore! It's so loose and floaty now, which makes me want to wear it all the time as it proves to me just how much my body has already changed.

Apologies for the wet hair! I was, again, running a little late this morning!

OOTD: Wednesday 24th June 2015

I didn't manage to take any photos of what I was wearing on Tuesday. The day was mental and I was running super late! These photos are a little dark. I love the top - it's one of my favourite car boot buys so far!

The top is originally from the TU range at Sainsbury's. I love the flowers on it and the material is nice and light for the summer weather too. These grey jeans are huge now too! Will need to be buying some new trousers in the sales after the summer!

OOTD: Monday 22nd June 2015

Monday is always a rubbish day! It drags on and on! Wasn't a massive fan of my outfit for the day either but I was in a major rush and didn't have time to change.

I felt like the top made me look really wide and didn't flatter my new appearing waist line. But the jeans are getting looser and looser and they are the smallest pair I learn so I guess there are still positives there.

OOTD: Thursday 18th June 2015

Today was a really random day. I started off feeling really quite thin and then as the day went on I got more and more worried that I look horrendously like a hippo on what I was wearing. I bought this T-shirt a year ago (without trying it on) at a festival I was working at and it was so tight that I refused to wear it in public. The fact that I will now wear it to work speaks volumes. However, I would still like it to fit better than it does.

The battle against my spare tire continues.

In the picture below, especially, I can see how my body has already changed! I can't wait to see how it looks in a couple of months when I have shifted some more lbs! 

So, like I said, the top is from a festival stall that I cannot remember the name of and the trousers are from Next. I wore the same sandals from JustFab again. I wanted to be summery but Thursday is gardening day so I went for trousers. Still managed to top up my tan! Wahey!

Happy Tuesday! 

Top is New Look, trousers are Next. I love the 'floatiness' (real word) of the top. Even in the summer and even though it's black, it's quite cool in the sun as there is a lot of movement in the top. The pattern is really pretty too.

Love the colour of these trousers. I never used to be a fan of having colour on bottom -  I was always blue jeans and coloured top but I like a good pair of coloured trousers now. These are more of a cotton than a demin so, agian, they aren't too hot in the summer sun. Great for school.

OOTD: Monday 15th June 2015

Happy Monday everyone! Only 5 weeks of school left until summer break! COME ON!

This dress is from Next, the blue floral pattern is beautiful. To start with I didn't like the cut of this dress. It has a seam that runs right across the middle of my torso and it made me look a little weird. Now that I've lost a little bit of my spare tire (or Cake Shelf as Sarah Millican calls it) it actually fits okay and shows off my waist line. The length was perfect for school too so it was a win all round!

I didn't take a picture of my shoes that I wore today. They are stunning - I will upload a picture when I can.

OOTD: Thursday 11th June 2015

Today was so hot that I seriously regretted the jeans by about 10am. I spent a lot of time outside in the sun today and got very hot indeed! 

Same jeans as yesterday. The blouse is from Next, bought as part of my 'new job' wardrobe. Once again, the flowers are what attracted my to it orignally. I really liked the colours as well. Plus, the neck line has little sparkly beads all over it which the little kids at school love!

Cardigan is from H&M. It's one of my favourite jumper/cardigan/pull overs that I own because the arms are really long so I can wrap my hands in them when it's chilly. Obviously, I was not doing that today. Today, the cardigan stayed in my bag as soon as I got to school!

OOTD: Wednesday 10th June 2015

Hey lovely readers!

As another way to embrace my beauty and force myself to see the good things about the way I look.....not because I'm vain but because I would like to feel confident about myself..... I am started an outfit of the day post series.

I don't weather I will actually post every day due to time commitments etc but I will as often as I can.

Firstly, I will need to use better lighting in future... secondly, this mirror makes my legs look really short haha.

Okay! The jeans are from New Look a few years ago, they are a camouflage green with a very handy 'sock zip' that take away the issues of rolling-up-skinny-jeans-to-put-on-long-socks. The blouse is from Next, I love the cut of it and the style and how 'floaty' it is. Perfect for a summery day in the sun. The cardigan is New Look, it's a dusty pale pink, really lovely as a light cover up when it's breezy but to too chilly. 

On the whole, I really like this outfit. I think it looks okay and it has a lot of good stories behind it. I shrunk the jeans in the tumble dryer at uni and I couldn't get into them for the life of me. I then shrunk myself to get back into them! WAHOO! *punches air*

Similar story with the blouse. I bought it as part of a 'new job' wardrobe but it was a little tight over my tummy and around my love handles. I handed realised how much my body had changed shape since September until I put this on this morning and it floated over my waist and hips beautifully.

Maybe this project will be a success after all!!
