New shoes

I made a Vine!

Here are my new shoes from ASOS. They only rubbed a tiny bit which for me/sandals is a success.

Rebrand

I should now technically be changing the name of this blog to Carrot Top Fashionista. Not the best picture I'll admit - coupled with the almost wintry light - but it was the best way to show quite how orange my hair now is!

Also debuting my first item from Cos! These are shiny, elasticated-waisted trousers and are pretty darn comfy, even if they are quite hard to look good in without heels. Plus, they have pockets. Love a good pocket.

Summer PJs

Haven't quite got the courage to wear my 'pyjama suit' to work yet but we're getting there.

FYI - my hair is no longer like this. Stay tuned for a change...

Bumblebee

A rare pop of colour. I'm also glad I finally wrested this blazer back off my housemate(s) who kept borrowing it. It's almost eight years old and I am yet to find one that is good enough to replace it. Seems like they don't make simple black blazers without darts any more. 

Hey there, sports fan

Nothing cheers you up like wearing new clothes. Or three new items together - sports tee, skinny jeans and shiny, shiny white brogues. Typically as soon as I find a great-fitting pair of jeans they phase the style out. Thanks, Topshop. NOT. So trying these mega-skinny mega-light ones for now.

Also my new patent white brogues, which I will live in on sunny days. 

Clashing prints

Working on going full body print clash one item at a time...

Snazzy jacket

As my current obsession is with print trousers I thought it was high time to have a jacket to match. This is actually part of a matching set. Watch this space to see if I can pluck up the courage to wear what is essentially daytime pyjamas in the office...

Sunset

A present from a special person for a trip down Memory Lane. If there's one thing I love it's a sunset, and the opportunity to wear one was too good to miss. 

Pitch Perfect

A business casual look with my latest pair of trousers. I have a slight addiction to this style of trousers (as you'll see from previous posts) and when the blue/black pair went to half price in the sale I got right on board. I may have also bought a duplicate of the white/black pair...judge all you like, but finding a pair of trousers that you can wear a size 8 in and look good in needs to be celebrated with multiple purchases!
