24.09

Sometimes you just have to go with comfort over style. Sometimes an outfit is going to be not at all flattering. Sometimes you aren't going to feel "right" in anything you put on.

Sometimes, like today, you just have to embrace it and chuck on your favourite trousers and stick two fingers up at the negative thoughts.

The floral hareem pants are from Matalan; somewhere I don't often shop but really should do more. Good prices and some beautiful clothes and shoes (oh god, the shoes!)

Please note the return of stalker cat. In the week since I have been home he's not left me alone! He was poorly the first few weeks I was, and according to my parents hadn't seemed right since.
No evidence of that now, the theory is he was playing for sympathy, like many a man I know.

Well, it's once again Friday...who has plans for the weekend? As far as I know I'm catching up with Best Friend on Sunday, and shall venture to see my grandparents at some point too. Keeping things quiet. For now.

Quiet is good sweetie, take it easy and do lovely things with all the people who have missed you! :)
And then when you feel up to it we shall arrange a visit :) xxx

I love harem pants!
Have a beautiful Friday, I hope all is well ;)

Great pants, I haven't been to Matalan in a decade! there is one down the road to me which i keep meaning to check out one day maybe one day xoxo

fritha louise said...

Wow, those trousers are amazing. I LOVE matalan, the shoes are so good and cheap. And they often do loads of really on-trend obviously designer inspired pieces.
Your cat obviously missed you lots! I wonder if my goldfish is missing me now I'm in France... I doubt it somehow!

I can only imagine how much you must have missed Flash! I'm getting my cat back from my boyfriend next week (we had an "arrangement" that he could keep him until he finished his studies and moved out) and I can't wait!

Love those hareems! You look gorgeous my dear :)

I'd love to see some of those sheets if you still have them? We could do a little swap - I'll send you some cliff bars in exchange!

Darling, I am so glad to see you are back!! Thanks for stopping in at my blog :)

Let me say first off that you look incredible!! I was just catching up on your posts now. The bangs are new, no? :) I hope that you feel wonderful about yourself, and that most of all, you are healthy.

The best part about your new body... shopping for new clothes, lol!!

Have a fantastic weekend :)

muchlove said...

oh how I want a pair of floral harem pants! They sure beat the tracksuit pants I've been wearing.

No weekend plans for me, but hopefully I'll get something productive done.

Susan said...

oh you look so beautiful, darling. comfy is so good sometimes... love your shoes too :)

The floral harems are really cool!

My cat stalks me in a different way, she wakes me up in the morning by meowing and scratching my door, but not because she misses me. She just wants my bed. Lie in it all day and make it all hairy. Gotta love em though.

Have fun with your best friend:D

sssdawna said...

hahahaha stalker kitteh!!

ok, i think only you can pull off that outfit. i'd been wondering what the floral harem pants would look like since you mentioned them---really cute!

it's funny cuz yesterday i kept thinking it was Friday : / *sigh* this week has been strange, who knows what the weekend holds.

It's so nice seeing that you are home and are so loved by your welcoming stalker cat! He looks huge! The blouse and harem pants both look nice. Have a nice visit with your grandparents whenever you do go. Best wishes for your health. You are a sweetie.

Juuli said...

love love love your awsome pants!!

3ate4 said...

My cat's like that, too. Can be rather annoying!

Harriet said...

Wow, I love those harems! I think the key to schmoopy style is going totally over the top with crazy prints as you so wonderfully show!

Em x said...

I sooo wish i could wear harems, i just look a fool though!
Don't get me started on Matalan shoes, they are soooo nice and sooo cheap, I've not been in for ages to stop temptation getting me x

Kandi said...

Comfy is best, when indoors I live in my PJ's and when the doorbell goes I am off upstairs like a scalded cat!
You look lovely and relaxed today.

Am totally with you on not feeling 'right' in anything. Took me forever to choose clothes for work last night (for today!).

Wish winter would hurry it's way along so that I can layer up everything in one go.

RocksandReBels said...

I think you have gone with style as well, I like the outfit and do not think that style is lacking from it at all :) Have a nice weekend!xxx

Those trousers are cute! Need to make the boyfriend drive me to Matalan. He hates driving so may have to bribe him with Mint Imperials (usually works).
Glad to hear you're keeping it chilled and hanging out with that adorable cat :) Sounds perfect to me.

Talk Pretty To Me said...

Originally, I wasn't a fan of the harem pants...at all. BUT I love these. I think if they aren't the ridiculous MC Hammer Harem pants they are uber chic. Love it.
