Firstly, the practice up-do for the UK Blog Awards ceremony at the end of the month (check out the sneak peek of my fairy princess look for that), and secondly, the fluffy pink cardigan I was about to put in the selling/charity pile after a wardrobe clear out I’ve started following my vow to sort out my house.
It went on the pile because I hadn’t worn it in over a year, and as I did thought I’d just try it on first – and kind of liked it with the hair. All that pink fluff made me feel like a glamorous housewife from some old 70s movie set in Miami, so the finishing touch was the evil eye brooch (for some extra kitsch) and crazy-assed paisley joggers (you know, for a touch of slouching-about-at-home attitude).

The black lace-up block heels (I think they’re called ghillie shoes?) add a bit of drama… As if this look needed more. I like the fact that mine have that medium block heel: A bit of extra height is always a bonus. Mine are sold out but I adore these ghillie bootie heeled sandals from ASOS (for a bit of height) and these black suede ghillie lace up flats (more like mine but without the heel).
SHOP THE LOOK:
It’s always good to go for something entirely different now and then – I like that feeling you get of taking on a different persona, even if it is just for one day.
DO YOU EVER TRY SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ON A WHIM? AND HAVE YOU EVER GONE TO DITCH A PIECE OF CLOTHING, ONLY TO FIND YOU QUITE LIKE IT AGAIN (LIKE I DID)…?! TELL ME IN THE COMMENTS OR TWEET ME @NOTLAMB!
Warehouse cardigan (love this fluffy pink zip-up cardigan or there’s this pink merino wool cardigan) | George at Asda joggers (try these Aztec print trousers) | ASOS shoes (I’m dying over these black lace-up block heeled shoes) | Accessorize bag (similar fringed cross body bag) | Lulus sunglasses c/o (these black cat eye sunglasses are a dupe) | Topshop brooch (not an evil eye but this Marchesa jewelled cluster brooch is stunning, or for something cheaper try the ASOS jewel burst brooch) | Berricle earrings c/o (these sterling platinum cubic zirconia earrings are similar)
