Sorry for the squinty eyes, its quite sunny here in Essex. Whats it like where you are?

I am in trousers. I never wear trousers. They just do not agree with my child bearing hips, I sure I will be grateful of them in 10 years when I actually have children but right now I hate tmy hips with a passion. I have been lusting over chinos from afar but just felt too self conscious to buy and and they fact most of them just did not fit. I found these in Next and had been umming and ahhhing for ages. They are soft cotton so are not as clingy as ordinary chinos. Plus they look smarter and will be perfect for when I finally get a full time job. I might invest in the black version too. It does feel a little weird not being in a dress, I feel more exposed in trousers! I have had this lace blazer for ages, brought it as uniform a few seasons ago and its still going strong. I love the colour and its so easy just to throw on.

I still don't feel that confident in this get up but I am going to visit family today and I feel more comfortable around them.

As I said I am off to visit family today. My cousin has recently brought a house about half an hour away and is having people over as a little house warming. It is starting at 2pm so I will possibly be drunk by 4 especially as he said he has wine! Not good! I always like doing family things, its not often that everyone gets the chance to get together due to people living all over.

Also I have been reading a few blogs recently and people have been taking part in "swaps" with bloggers in different countries. They swap anything really that is only available in their country. I was wondering if anyone wanted to do this with me? My email address is in the contact me tab at the top, just let me know! Its always nice to recieve things in the post that are not bills!

What have you all go planned for the weekend?

  11. Those trousers look fantastic on you!

    I have never been a trouser fan (I have big hips to, plus short legs! Not a good combo!) but so many great bloggers have been rocking them, I really want to give them a go!

  24. That lace jacket is gorgeous :) & I've seen quite a few bloggers doing a swap too, looks like a great idea, but wouldn't it cost loads and loads to keep sending the items all over the world.
