brightening the blues




Matalan dress, Betsey Johnson tights, Clarks shoes c/o Sarenza

I always think blue makes an apt outfit for a Monday, and the one just gone proved to live up to it's reputation with general chaos and all round confusion at work! I love these tights but forgot just how much attention they attract until I was walking by a main road on route to work and a couple of cars slowed down as they passed.

I hope everyone enjoyed pancake day! I went, sadly, without due to lack of planning and general laziness! What was the best topping you tried? I'm wondering which reader set a new record of number of pancakes eaten?! And now we're on the countdown to Easter (bring on the mini eggs and malteaser bunnies!) what have you given up for Lent, if anything?

those tights are fabulous! I used to give up chocolate for lent but since then I don't care for choccy much anyway so stopped bothering as it wasn't a challenge.

The tights are awesome! I was reading this through my phone and my first thought was "I would be so paranoid in those tights because people would stare at my legs... but I WANT!" and had a giggle fest when you said people slowed down to look.

You look gorgeous!

These tights are the best!! I LOVE the print. I'm looking forward to winter here in Australia. Can't wait to wear coloured tights and boots. You look great, as always :) x

Love the tights! I don't think I'd have the guts to wear them.
I didn't have pancakes either =/ I don't give anything up for Lent - maybe I should be! x

Loving the dress, gorgeous shape and colour.

n didn't get pancakes either, because I was at uni until 2100, but because we're heathens and don't observe lent, Dad promised to make me some tonight. My favourite all time topping- cherry pie filling (from the tin, naturally) and possible a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a tiny amount of vanilla ice cream.... or, orange marmalade is great, or y'know... good old lemon and sugar

Love those tights! I defiantly failed in the eating of pancakes, only managed two this year surprisingly for me!

I had a grand total of 9 pancakes throughout the day, it was outrageous.

Every pancake had, lemon, golden syrup and sugar. So you can imagine how my teeth felt at the end of the day... horrible!

But so worth it :)

i'm pleased to say I'm not giving up anything for Lent :-) When I was struggling with anorexia, I would use lent as an excuse to cut out various food groups....now I'd rather DO something for 40 days rather than give something up :-) xx
