Frugal February: Muggy

Top: Katies
Skirt & Belt: Portmans
Shoes: Fillipo Raphael

It's been an almost unbearably muggy and miserable day today, but in the early afternoon we finally got some rain, so hopefully the cool change has arrived.

I'm doing some preparation for the first remix project of Frugal February, but I seem to have a list of things-to-do as long as my arm: I've been sorting through my wardrobe doing a drastic cull for my upcoming post-frockapalooza eBay sale, plus I've been doing my biannual ironing marathon (so that I don't run out of clothes during my no-buy month!). I've also downloaded the pattern for the Dr Who Scarf (from here), which I've promised to knit for the Sophisticate. And there's work, or course.

It's terrible, because with the humidity all I want to do is mooch around wearing not-much-at-all and doing even-less...

Frugal February: Blossoming

Jeans: Sussan
Top: Katies
Shoes: Wittner

I bought this top at the very beginning of this year half price at Katies. I like it - I'm usually a bit iffy about billowy tops (not usually recommended for F cups!) but it teams up well with the narrow leg jeans from Sussan.

Narrow leg jeans are one of those rule-breaker items - like horizontal stripes - that curvier figures are supposed to steer away from but really shouldn't.


Hands-down, my favourite pair of Narrow-Leg jeans at the Tempt Narrow's from Embody but my well-loved pair have finally given up the ghost. If you're really daring and are after a true skinny-fit, you can check out the new range at Svoboda or the Asos Jeggings.
