Wow, firstly, thank you for the amazing comments on my last outfit. I was not expecting that at all, and I am very grateful for each one!

Kicking off this post with a tag passed along by the sweetheart over at Notes from the Toothfairy

What room are you in: My bedroom

Hobby: Blogging, shopping, reading, writing

Fear: Prawns, spiders, bridges

Where were you last night: In my bed

Something that you aren't: Scientifically gifted

Muffins: Pear and ginger

Wish list item: It seems to be never ending

Where did you grow up: The same place I live now

What are you wearing: Harem pants, white bow tie vest, blazer, bare feet

I tag anyone that hasn't done this yet...I've seen it on a lot of blogs already!

Yesterday I wore another new pair of tights; green. I got a few odd looks when I popped out with Mum, but whatever. I can't help my addiction! Dad was away overnight and Mum worked till 7, so I spent my afternoon being a domestic goddess and baked hobnob biscuits (that Mum has taken to work with her today!)

Today is the third anniversary of a dear friend's death, and I'm not really sure what to do with myself. It is still so early in the day (10am, and I woke at 5) so vegging back in bed with my book might help.
Colour in my outfit didn't feel right, so I went with B&W whilst remaining comfortable

(see what I mean about stalker cat?!)

I'll be posting up some new jewellery at the weekend, might help you get kick started with some Christmas shopping...

Anyway,
have a great day, whatever you do. Be happy. Be safe.

I love your tights, all of these bloggers keep wearing these amazing green tights, clearly I need a pair

Conversation Pieces said...

You look gorgeous in your bow tie and haram pants... sorry to hear about your friend, days like these are always hard.

(And I say green tights rock... I have a pair that make me look like the sweetcorn man... maybe not such a good idea!)

Shopaholic said...

I think your cat may want to do outfit posts too (that would be amusing!)

Love your tight collection, green are pretty cool.

Ahaha cute "stalker" cat!

The Haute-Shopper said...

Fun tag! I still have to do this one even though I was tagged with this a while ago... Great outfits! Still loving your tights and the print on the dress. The open bow-tie look is a great touch to the second outfit! Sorry to hear about the death of your friend though :/

P.S. Loved your last outfit as well! I don't think it's that often I've seen you wear all-black but it definitely suits you as well!

Jennifer Fabulous said...

I love the green tights! And the black and white shirt is adorable.
I'm sorry about your friend, however. Please don't feel too sad today. I'm sure your friend wouldn't want that...
Celebrate your friend's life today!

Sahakiel said...

Cafe Fashionista said...

Ooh, I have a very similar dress only mine is blue - I love it with every fiber of my being. J'adore how you've styled yours - so fun with the green tights.

Christmas shopping...wow! Christmas is so close; I should really start shopping, as well! :)

The Fashion Tape said...

Consolence about your friend, its so shit when someone you love isn't there anymore.
On a brighter note, I LOVE that forest green colour of yoiur tights and the harem/tux thing you have going on, ignore the stares and go with The Tavi motto, is my advice.
