Yesterday's OOTD!

Hello lovelies! :)

This is going to be my first of two posts today, it will feature the outfit i wore yesterday and also i will tell you about a big relationship milestone me and my lovely boyfriend hit! So here is my outfit

Cardigan - Primark

Top - Primark

Shorts - New Look

Creepers -  Ebay

This cardigan is my spring staple at the minute with this ever changing weather. It's thick but it's not as heavy as wearing a coat. I nickname it my grandad cardie and i love it! :) I've wanted to get some creepers for a little while now. I usually stick to flats or boots so i thought these would make a nice change as it's still a bit too cold for sandals or flats!

So, yesterday consisted of going out with Adam (the boyfriend) and choosing a cat for us to adopt! We went to the RSPCA and fell in love with a cute 4 year old female called Gill.

She has sore eyes at the minute as when she was picked up by the RSPCA, they were ulcerated and she had to have an operation but she just has to have some eye drops in twice a day and the people at the centre said they should be all better in a couple of weeks! I can't wait to bring her home. She was so loving and affectionate, she wouldn't leave me and Adam alone!

I got instagram yesterday but i can't quite figure out how to get a follow button onto here just yet! But if you'd like to follow me, here is a link to my account :)

What I wore today and the museum

Hello everyone

Lately, i have been reminiscing about my childhood a lot. Back when i was between the ages of 6 and 9, my nanny used to take me to the Norwich castle museum. I have been thinking about these times a lot lately and talking about them, so my boyfriend decided to surprise me and take me back there today! They have modernised it A LOT since i was a kid but all the stuff in there is very much the same. Which took me right back to when i was a kid. Me and my cousin would always look in fascination at the ancient Egypt exhibition in there and we loved the stuffed animals and taxidermy (we've always been a little weird). Something that was new though was a "fashion through the ages" exhibition. As you can well imagine, i was in my element, looking at and reading about all the different fashions through the years. I took a couple of pictures.

That lovely yellow show you see there is from the 1970s and there were a variety of badges and some 1970s earrings. There was a vintage Vivienne Westwood purse in there too but i didn't manage to get that in the picture.

This dress is from 1856!

Here is what i wore for our day trip :)

Top - Made by me

Jeans - Dorothy Perkins

Boots - Matalan

Bag - Primark

I did post about this top previously but this is the first time I've worn it out. It was very comfy but i did notice that my cutting skills are not up to much. It's all a bit wonky which is disappointing but it all adds to the charm i guess, and it was my first attempt. The shoulders were sticking out as well, which I'm guessing is from where i cut out the shoulder pads from when it was previously a foisty old dress :P. If anyone knows how i can stop this from happening then please email me or leave me a comment. I'd really appreciate it!

I'm so glad that autumn is here! As much as i like being able to enjoy the sunshine, it has been far too hot for me this year so i was looking forward to being able to wrap up In long sleeves and boots. these boots are my favourite thing at the minute. They're Chelsea boots and they're black glittery! I love a bit of sparkle, so when i saw these i had to have them. They're so comfy as well, which is always a bonus.

I'm glad to finally be wearing jeans, i never used to find them comfy but since I've lost some weight (19lbs so far) i find them very easy to slip into and comfortable to move in so that's something I'm happy about! 

All in all, I've had a lovely day. I've felt more confident today than i think i ever have before and it's been fun re-living a big part of my childhood. And i owe it all to my amazing boyfriend.

I love you, Adam :)

My outfit for today :)

Photo by me

Dress - New Look

Blouse - Primark

Ring - Dorothy Perkins

Necklace - Mad Hatties

I've had this dress for about five years and it's just been sitting in my wardrobe since then. I re-discovered it a few weeks back and it's now become one of my favourite pieces! It's great for layering tops over or under it and it's really comfortable and easy to wear.

I LOVE statement jewellery, it's kind of my thing :) This ring is like a snooker ball and very heavy, but i love the bright purpleness of it. The necklace was a gift from my cousin, it's from a handmade jewellery company called mad hatties who specialised in Alice in wonderland themed jewellery. Unfortunately, I've just read that they are no longer in business which is a great shame :( You can't see it from this picture but the necklace has a small teapot and teacup inside, it's so cute :)
