A Floral dress for Winter - Chic & Stylish Linkup

Hello and welcome to the blog. 

Thursday came around really quickly for me!

I was literally sitting scrolling through my phone, IG and TikTok last night and suddenly realised I’d not sorted this blog post out!

After my two gym classes yesterday I’m feeling tired and very achy. The first class on a Wednesday morning is Body Attack (anyone do this class?) and it was a new workout and was filed with star jumps, and bouncing on the wrong part of my feet making my calves really sore and so I have ached all the time since doing the class yesterday morning. I reckon it’ll take a couple of weeks to get used to the new routines & then I hope it’ll get a tad easier! 🤞

I’ve been trying to up my Instagram game over the past week and a bit, posting every week day and it’s been great to look at that social platform in a different way. Instead of comparing myself to other accounts, I’m just sharing my daily outfits most of which I shop my wardrobe for.  

I’d wanted to wear my latest boots, so picked this dress to style them with. The boots came from my local George store and were in the sale for £15. Now I know I didn’t really need them, but had been wanting a lower heeled knee high boot for a while, I wanted to wear my dresses but didn’t want ankle boots of my older leather pair. These have a ruched effect and are made from imi-suede and are nice and cosy with side zip on the ankle. They sit just below the knee and will look super with all my dresses and skirts so you’ll be seeing these again very soon I’m sure. 

I’ve also decided every time I get something new I will get rid of something either to the charity shop or be sold on Vinted - seems a good idea don’t you think? Out with the old and in with the new!

Hi there, how’s it going?

Have you had storms where you are?

We’ve had two in the past week, Storm Isha and Storm Jocelyn have been battering the UK making everything so much harder! Things seem to have quietened down now so I managed to get these photos taken yesterday albeit slightly overcast. 

I’ve had a great week for dinners. My youngest daughter cooked on Monday, my middle daughter prepared another super meal on Tuesday and last night I was out for food at my eldest daughter’s house. As usual it was good to be around the grandkids and even better that I didn’t have to do any of the preparations.  But even better than that, I’m out with my old work colleagues tonight, ☺️ so no kitchen duties for me this week …. result!

My outfit today is based around this stylish blazer I was kindly gifted from Jenerique London. 

Items marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are 100% my own honest comments

Morning my friends.

I do hope you are all doing well.

Writers block has hit me today, I'm finding it hard to write anything really!  It's a hard time of the year with memories of loved ones who've passed away in this month - it proves to be a tough time for all the family.  It's something we all have to come to terms with isn't it, but I have a good strong family around and I find talking really helps.  

I also think I've just about had enough of Covid and all it has brought with it, but I do feel things are very slowly beginning to settle down.  Masks have become second nature and I feel quite naked when I don't have one on when I'm anywhere near the shops - lol.  How are the Covid restrictions where you live?

What I can tell you about is something I've been enjoying styling and wearing recently, and honestly who doesn't love a white dress
If you follow me on IG you might have seen me styling this white dress a few different ways - here's a link if you'd like to see it.  I had lots of lovely comments and found that most of you favoured the same one that I liked the most.  It's just a black and white combination, and doesn't disappoint in the fashion stakes.
