Valentines OOTD

Hi everyone,

Well, that's Valentines day done and dusted for another year. I'm in two minds about the whole day. As much as I like a bit of romance (ok - a lot!) it seems forced to do it on the one day. I think romance and love are found in lots of different places and actions.

 However, I do like a themed day - so here's what I wore:

The jumper is an oldie from George @ Asda. It's a size 20 and there's plenty of wiggle room there. The necklace is Accessorize. I love their plastic jewellery and this is still available on their website.

Is it a watch - is it a necklace? Or just more owls

Hi everyone,

Well I promised you all more owls and here they are. After a friend asking me if I liked owls (which I didn't think I did), I'm just realising how much they've crept into my wardrobe.

This is a watch/pendant/necklace that I picked up recently. I'm going to be a bad blogger and admit that I can't tell you the name of the shop - just that it was in Fuerterventura airport! (holiday updates to follow soon).

It wasn't very expensive and to be honest - I'm not expecting the watch part of it to last very long. But the colours and the chunkiness of it appealed. I'm not a fan of fine and delicate jewellery - I'm always worried I'll break it. This has a solid feel and long chain - expect to see it in upcoming blog pictures soon.

Bunny jumper OOTD

Hi everyone,

I've decided I'm going to try hard to remember to take more photos during the week of what I wear. I'm very guilty of only remembering to take pictures as soon as I put my PJs on!

Today was a casual day (let's be honest - I work from home - 90% of my wardrobe is casual!). It would appear I have a real soft spot for Joe Brown clothes, be it dresses, skirts, tunics or as we have here - bunny jumpers (I suspect it's technically a hare, but bunny sounds nicer).

I love the tail detail on the bunny/hare - makes me smile every time I wear it!

I teamed the jumper with a pair of jeans and these great boots from F&F at Tesco. I bought them just before Christmas, so they may not be in stock anymore. I'm finding that F&F are a great place for footwear. I wear a 6.5 and their selection of spring/summer pumps over the last few years have been the best. These boots were a bargain £25 and are as comfy as anything.

Joe Brown's owls OOTD

Hi everyone,

I can't believe we're in February already. I always think of a February as a bit of a reward for getting through January. It's shorter (less time to pay day) and hopefully thoughts of Spring will soon be on the way.

I visited Dartford last week so while I was staying up there up there I attempted to take some photos for a long overdue OOTD.

It's really hard to get photos of the back of an outfit! Especially when all you have is a hotel mirror. But I think you get the general idea. It certainly reminded me I was overdue for a hair cut.

Later in the day a friend asked me if I liked owls - I said not particularly. Then looked at what I was wearing. It seems without realising owls have crept into my wardrobe. Not sure how I feel about that really. But keep an eye out, there'll be more owls on this blog before the end of the month.

Now while I was up there, the news kept giving us all dire forecasts of snow, ice, thundersnow, the end of the world etc. So I was pleasantly surprised to wake up one morning to this lovely view. I love a bit of snow, but not when I have to drive long distances in it!

I still wrapped up warm though
