Day 13 - SHOPPING!

So today I was really getting into th he spirit of the 'girlie' me and started looking at dresses for my impending party.

I decided to pop to some shops after work today but whilst I failed at finding any pretty dresses for my party, I did find a few bargain dresses in Oasis for everyday use. Fingers crossed at least one fits - I hate clothes shopping at the best of times,  and hate trying on clothes with a passion so if I can, I leave it till I'm home.  This often means however I end up with random items left hanging that I don't get round to returning :/

Day 12 - sunshine = whoop!

So I may not have seen much of the sunshine, bar the odd glimpse thru the office windows but it was lovely to drive in and home with bare arms, the music up and the shades on for a change.

Didn't quite manage to lose the boots yet tho!  Do I see a further challenge ahead I wonder... nah don't think so lol

Not sure what's on the wardrobe plan for tomoro yet. 

Day 10 - nearly didn't manage it

So the day began with pouring rain and no need to go out. I had no enthusiasm to get going, let alone make the effort to get out of my pjs!

However,  I snapped out of it and raided my wardrobe for something suitable and got myself dressed.

Even made it out in between the rain storms to the local charity shop. Sadly there was only one item I would have considered useful but refused to pay not far off what it prob was bought for so came away empty handed.

Day 9 - not hot...

So today's outfit needed to be versatile enough to cover taking littlest swimming,  a trudge round sainsbury's food shopping,  lunch at my dad's and sitting outside a dance class for over an hour.
Also I didn't want to wear my boots yet again.

I think the dress I ended up with was a little on the wintery side for the warm sunshine but it did me for today.

Day 8 - important meeting

So big (for me) meeting at work today meant I needed to be fairly smart. That meant trouble cos the last time I tried,  none of my smart dresses fitted... I'd been relying on smart trousers until now.  I knew I needed to at least try one of the dresses gathering dust in my wardrobe...
I was so shocked when I got it on AND got the zip done up!  Ok so it was a bit on the tight side but I could breathe and it passed the sit down test. I guess the running had actually made a small difference after all.

I was feeling guilty that I didn't run last night so I did my first two laps today. Struggled but made it round. Guess I have no excuse to keep doing two laps now :/

Day 7 - rain challenge once more

Rain and wind all day today.  I had the idea of creating a summer look. However I rapidly changed my mind when I saw how black the sky was.

I'm now beginning to run out of outfit ideas which is rather scary! 
I WILL NOT break ;)

Day 6 - work and rain make for a clothing challenge!

Sadly no photo evidence today but i promise i followed the rules still.  Black t, black skirt and knee high Black boots... Needless to say by the time lunchtime came it was toasty!

I made it out for a run with Moggy. Prob not even 1 km but it's a start.  I was knackered by the time we got back. Moggy hadn't even raised her heart beat I'm sure!  Oh well we all have to start somewhere :)

Day 5 - Garden Party

Not been good at blogging last few days but I have been good at sticking to the no trousers!

Bank holiday Monday - It wasn't quite as warm as I'd hoped bit I still managed to get away with summer clothes again.

As ever,  I was dressed my my gorgeous Moggy tho!

Dreading that train that's forecast this week!

Day 4 - this is the life

So despite being a lazy day - one normally where I'd live in joggers and a T - and a little on the chilly side, I braved one of my summer dress/tunic tops again. I have to admit I never realised how versatile my leggings were till now ;)

Tomorrow I have a friends garden party to go to - an event where I would probably be wearing a dress anyway so I guess it should be easy ish.

So far the sun has played ball and is been relatively easy. I'm not sure how easy it will be with a) being back at work on Tuesday and b) the rain shows its gave again.

I still have yet to sort my wardrobe into outfits as suggested by a couple of people.  I'm not convinced I can do this. It's a complete mishmash that whilst I did have a 2 bin liner clear out I still seem to have it bursting at the seems.

I long to have a capsule wardrobe but can't bring myself to buy new stuff until I'm at my goal weight.

Day 3 - sunshine and pub lunch is a great combo

Day 3 was actually quite easy. The sun was out and that meant short sleeve tunic dress and leggings.  Double that with my fav boots and I was quite comfortable in my outfit.

In the evening I had a band night so I popped on an old dress and teamed it with the same white leggings and high heels. Result was a bit 80s pop but again I was quite happy in it.  No photo of that outfit as it was a rather late night but it will prob get used again so will upload when I do.

Day 2

So the second day is almost over and I've managed to resist putting my pj's on despite feeling a bit chilly. 

I used a combo I already knew would work but I'm now out of ideas... somehow I don't think my usual tops will go with any of the summer skirts I have. That and the weather is not in the slightest bit summery.

I think I need a strong dose of warm sunshine and a trip to the local charity shops asap

So it's started

No idea how I am going to get thru the next 40 days but I am determined to try...

Today was my first effort. Slightly easier as it was a work day and I have a handful of dresses that are easy for work.

Tomoro I have no idea how I'll get on. Day of with little Mouse. Swimming, sainsbury and coffee with a friend. Weather is forecast to be awful!
