Today is my pre-birthday -day! Mr E took me to my favourite restaurant Fazenda in Leeds for lunch where I ate lots of salad bar and meat and was then surprised with a birthday cheesecake with sparkler! Very impressive! We then continued over to Cheshire Oaks so
I could spend some of my birthday money I’d already been given.
So I chose an outfit that was warm, but with layers and that was comfy enough to wear after such a big lunch!
Dress- Asos Curve (in Sale was £25 now £15)
Jewelled Bib Necklace- Primark Limited Edition (£8)
Leggings- Primark (£3)
Boots- George at Asda (Sold Out)
Coat – George at Asda (Sold Out)
Bag – Mulberry (A/W 12)
I bought the swing dress last week, and I’ve already worn it twice! It’s just the right amount of swing, it doesn’t drown me, and fits my bust great so I have some shape. I wore it with a wide elasticated belt before which gives me a waist however I’d removed this after my big lunch!
It’s short sleeved too, so this should last me well into spring and maybe summer without leggings.For £15 I think it’s such a bargain.
I added my favourite statement necklace (featured here) which was £8 from Primark, I so nearly didn’t buy this but have worn it for most of December including Christmas Day and NYE, my friend even borrowed it twice for her Christmas parties. I’m told it’s now sold out, but let me know if you see it in your local Primark!
I added my flat George buckle boots, and my George Aztec sleeve coat, I got this in the sale for £20 instead of £40 and I had nearly bought it so many times, I was glad I had waited.
Finally was my Mulberry bag, I got this on my last trip to Cheshire Oaks. Berry colour bags are my favourite come winter so this was perfect for me, and it matches the sleeves on my coat.
As you can see I’ve also got another Mulberry bag in my hand, I was lucky enough to get some money for my birthday already which was enough to buy this!
Bag – Mulberry (outlet price £99)
Considering a good leather clutch/ pouch would cost £40-£50 and some brands would be around the £100 mark I think it’s quite reasonable. It was £395 last year, yes, really! So quite a bargain really! Plus it’s black so it will go with all my going out outfits! Hopefully it will get its first outing tomorrow night.
I didn’t buy much else after that,so nothing much else to show you I resisted all Mac nail polishes at the cosmetics company shop, as I’d spent up!
