I didn't have one that matched.

I'm loving this cardigan even more with every time I wear it. It is by far the softest knitwear I own and such a cute colour. I was surprised I was drawn to it as it may or may not have escaped your notice but I'm more of a dark and miserable colour fan, so a light peachy- pink cardigan isn't really my usual fare. As Spring is (perhaps) on its way I thought maybe some pastel/ any actual colour injection into my wardrobe was appropriate. Out comes the sickly coloured cardi.
  Something I've learned this week is how much of a lightweight I've become after leaving uni. Its disgraceful that I got out- drunk by my little sister and then spent the entire taxi ride home telling the driver how he lived in a fake town. Although even when I'm sober I still maintain that Kingshill is a fake town. I also learned that nothing I own nowadays is suitable for going out so as needs must - ahem- I went and bought a lovely black lace dress and a nude pink jacket to go over it. Might have some pictures of it but then again I probably won't.
I'm watching children's TV with my 5 year old cousin. Rastamouse is an affront to the English language. However, their crime fighting/ rollerskating skills are to be admired.

I was planning all week to go to an old windmill I found to take some outfits pictures but what did I see as soon as I opened my eyes this morning? Rain. However, being a stoic Englishwoman, I decided to brave it and trek through a muddy field to get there anyway. The rain got too heavy so I ducked under some trees to get these shots, hence the awful hair. Maybe on a drier day I can get the windmill in too. I love how I keep finding new places to take photos and how it's always somewhere nature-y. I put the rings on an old plough I came across in a field. Seriously, a plough.
I'm thinking I need to get my fringe trimmed. It keeps tickling my eyes in a bad way.
This shirt is one of my favourite. It was cheap and can work in a going out outfit or a day one so easily. It looks good with a load of jewellery too.
The necklace and crystal rings are available in my shop. Take a look.

I was a bit naughty this week and bought a bit more in Topshop than I was meant to. Including this dress. I'm really loving maxi dresses but all of mine are leftover from Summer and are a bit too thin for this lovely weather. This one is suitably dark/ knitted enough to look good with a cardigan, scarf and chunky, black boots. I did get a few looks in the post office queue though.
It felt so weird shopping in an actual shop as I've been raiding charity shops of late and found some great bargains. I used to be such a high- street lover but now not so sure. I got the shirt in the last post for £3.50, and something very similar in Topshop was £45. Kind of stupid to pay those prices.
Watching Glee in bed on a Sunday before work is awesome.

I woke up today to the sun streaming through my window and didn't it put me in the best mood for the rest of the day. I usually laze in bed for most of the morning when the weather is grey but when it's sunny like today I can get up and go and I love it.
   This amazing shirt was only £3.50 from a charity shop. I can't believe some of the great things I find around the charity shops in my area and they don't charge the massive prices that most in the big towns charge. Such is village life. For example, I've taken up knitting again and the lovely ladies at a local charity shop offered me a huge bundle of needles for only 50p. I gave them more than that don't worry. I love a bargain but I don't do daylight robbery in charity shops.
  As I just said I've decided to teach myself some more difficult knitting techniques and then I want to knit these amazing shorts as seen here which I'm really excited about starting. I am aware I can't wear them out as I really don't have the legs for them, however they will make nice sleeping- in shorts and it's more of a can-I-actually- knit-these-shorts project rather than an exercise which will result in actual wearable shorts. I just think they're really cute.
