Christmas Catch Up



Thanks to everyone who left comments on how to style the LBD.
I will be trying some of these ideas out over the coming weeks.
I apologise for the sporadic nature of my blogging due to the pressures of work/Christmas/family etc.
This weekend my daughter and I went Christmas Shopping and then toured the local garden centres for our real Christmas tree.
We put our artificial or "fake" tree (as the children call it) up the other week but we wait until the middle weekend of December to put up the real tree.
I was shocked at the prices of the trees in our local garden centre this year so we ended up at Homebase where this lovely tree cost under £20.
My daughter wanted to decorate it all by herself and I think she has done a great job.
This outfit was worn last Thursday when I worked at a local primary school in Liverpool helping them to compile a school magazine.
I love the way the stripes work with the plaid
I wore:
Cardigan - Tesco
Skirt - Matalan
Striped Top and Boots - Dorothy Perkins
Belt - Primark
