My Victoria Beckham Spoils

Kicking off this week's roundup with a new dress, that I rather like. I managed to get hold of one of those coveted "Victoria Beckham for Target" pieces. You might recall that I have a bit of a thing for well done designer/high street colabs, and I think this one was a rather good one. I think this dress was around £40 and it's really lovely quality and an item you could easily wear at a wedding or fancy spring event. As I don't have any such events to attend, it will get worn, whenever I feel like it! There is a rather funny thing about the dress though... just see the second pic below...

I wasn't 100% sure about this necklace with the dress first but I actually like it now. Stops it from being too 'pretty pretty'.

Dress: Victoria Beckham for Target

Boots: Zara

Necklace: Warehouse

And what's the funny thing about this dress?  It strangely kinda matches my Nanette Lepore phone cover. Both lace patterns. Both mint/green. Both with nude/metallic underlay.  "When you accidentally dress like your phone."

When you put something on in the morning and feel a bit 'meh' about it. Then you come into work and have at least two people gushing about it and telling you, you look fab (and they want your outfit) - all completely unprompted, just to note! Not so bad after all. :) #iworkwiththenicestpeople #sometimesweallneedapickmeup

Trying to cheat a waist with a cropped top and full skirt. Think that top needs to be a smidge shorter...

Hello Autumn

Moving from Summer into Autumn - purely by necessity as mornings are rather fresh now. (Not a problem if you're driving to work but those trainstation platforms can be drafty.) I am trying to remember all those transitional outfits from just a few months ago. 

Good job I have some pics on my Instagram...

It's getting colder, time for the opaques...
Deciding what to wear needs to be a matter of seconds and I just got into the swing of things with summer. I don't have time to faff about in the morning but every Autumn and Spring I seem to have forgotten what to wear in certain a weather...

I'm feeling suitable autumnal in orange, purple and gold...

I'm really not keen on this pic but I was so behind and hadn't posted much, that I refused to just delete it. I remember getting dressed on that Saturday morning and thinking that Summer was pretty much over... let's beg it to stay for one more day with candy stripes and icecream!

New Print Skirt and Colour Necklace

Only three from last week (but hey: that's one more than the week before) but two new outfits and I have to say I'm rather fond of my new Boden print skirt and that necklace that Mr G brought back from Finland! Oh, and little M makes a guest appearance.

Still Not Spring Yet?!

I keep saying that winter is going, that it's spring now, that I'm going to ditch the winter clothes and get out my spring outfits - and then I keep reaching for the warmer and layered styles. Sigh. Let's see what happens next week...
