What to wear?


15 minutes to 9 and I was swinging out of the front door clasping my travel mug full of good morning coffee. I was out, I was up and it was sunny again. I must say it was difficult getting up this morning, but once I forced myself, I was awake and I didn't collapse back into bed. Now it was a sunny morning, but it was not calm. There was a definite strong wind brewing up; every time I tried to take a sip of coffee, my hair would whip me in the face and I would just pull it back and as the saying goes 'keep calm and carry on'. The roads were busy; parents were taking their children to school and every single adult that I crossed paths with held a coffee cup.

What I found interesting today was the weather. I wrapped my thick scarf around me, zipped up my leather jacket and slipped on my knitted gloves. I was a pessimist. As soon as I got going, I was too hot. I had to remove my gloves, take my jacket off and loosen my scarf. I can never get it right. I'll be optimistic and wear just one jumper but then it will be too cold; I'll wear what I wore today and it will be too hot. I can't wait for summer so that I will know I can just go out with either a light cardi in my bag or nothing if we're really positive. Maybe I'll start leaving the scarf at home. I mean, what do you wear late winter to early spring?

The bane of my life

My alarm went off this morning - I did not get up. Two hours later I woke up to find that I needed to jump out of bed pronto and get a move on to the the current bane of my life - Debenhams. The size 6 was cancelled yesterday due to no stock and there was still unfortunately no stuck available this morning so I managed to get my hands on a size 8 which was fab. I thought on the never ending journey to Debenhams as the rain poured down this morning, if they don't have a size 8, I will possibly kill myself.......however yet again that is a lie, as I would just result to drinking way too much coffee instead. Drug myself up with caffeine. Always works a charm. But thankfully I haven't yet had to resort to that as I have the dress ordered, and if there is one more glitch in this process, I will probably drown myself in coffee.
