Top: Mango
Skirt (River Island) and Boots: ASOS sale
Dress: Oliver Bonas
Lace top: C&A in Holland
Boots: Yull
Yep, a double whammy outfit post purely because the first outfit I just couldn't get more than one photo of...why is all black so hard to capture? I loved this witchy get-up which I wore to meet Becca and Ellie for lunch and shopping on Saturday. I've been after a skirt like this for ages so when this River Island one cropped up in the ASOS sale it was a no brainer purchase. The top from Mango has gold studded sleeves that you can't see. They only had an XL in stock on the website but I was so in love with it and it's bargain price that I decided to order it and wear it baggy. Mango sizing is generally really small anyway so it's not like I'm swimming in a massive tent!
The second outfit was what I wore Sunday for a wonderful but freezing trip to Bath for a preview of an amazing event happening soon called Bath in Fashion. There will be a full post dedicated to this so I won't harp on now. Instead I'll talk about how much I love this dress and how much wear I'll be getting out of it. The print reminds me of both brocade and oriental and although it's probably a bit tooo smart for daytime wearing I don't care, it deserves to be shown off!

Operation hat this weekend was a total success by the way. Good old H&M never fails me. Behold the £7.99 wonder! I need far more hats in my life.
Well, Monday duties call, I need to get myself in to something warm for a chilly walk down to see my (wonderful) GP about coming off of the pregabalin for my foot. It has worked wonders for the neuropathic pain but I don't like the side effects so I want to see if I can cope without it. I then have a two hour defib and cpr training to attend before my normal afternoon shift at work. Aye aye aye. I thought I didn't have any more training to do until next year but now I'm a "clinical" person I have to do it more frequently. These things are always useful though and training is generally a laugh.
Have a good start to the week!
