Brrrr! Arbroath harbour is lovely for a stroll but my coat had to be pried from my back for these pics.
We have done a few floral style challenges now (here & here) but I'm getting back to my old womanly ways with this winter florals look. Prim blouse, ceramic old lady brooch and floral corduroy; it's a librarian's dream. The trouble with having such a preppy look is that I can wear all my outfits to work and feel like I have nothing to wear come the weekends. Sob!
The blouse is a bit of a weird shape too but that's what you can expect from an £8 Primark number. They don't seem to have humans in mind when they design their pieces. I think my mistake was not trying on a couple- you can pick up two size tens and they'll be totally different. Or is that just me?

These nails are hand painted with ordinary nail polishes and were about 4 days old. Not bad, eh? If you ignore the blue tinge to my mitts. When I first created this nail look, inspired by this Toppers skirt, I was pretty damn chuffed with myself. Although I can never be bothered to do my hair or makeup, my nails are always filed and polished to perfection. They have been since I was about twelve, when my granny taught me the art of buffing and shaping. Now my left and right hands are matched in skill and they take seconds to do. I even finally got Helen into it! However, I haven't done much by way of nail art designs and I only just bought nail pens. I'm no Nancy Mc (be still my beating heart- that girl's got skills!) but I think I'm going to give it a go.

THOSE NAILS!

I have serious hair envy, Kimberly! Those violet locks are so pretty! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynsay! The only trouble is it doesn't last long and each time it comes out it leaves my hair slightly green... uh oh! :/
