Stripe Dress with a Black Gilet and Tan boots

 Is it really only Tuesday? REALLY world? it feels like at least a Thursday on the scale of knackered-ness, actually i feel this tired all the time lately, so days of the week are no measure.
Yes i am feeling rather sorry for myself today! (tiny violins at the ready people) I am on the third week of severely disrupted  sleep and i am just about ready to throw the towel in on this whole being a grown up malarkey..
Oh how much i would love to trade lives right now and become a bear, and just sleep this out for a whole season.. oh yes my friends that would be sa-weet!
However i can't, so i shall just don my favourite dress and gilet and carry on regardless.
Funny thing about this dress, i did not realise how short it was! At 5'6" I have fairly long legs, when i try a dress on and look down it normally looks great from my heads perspective, it's only when i see photos like this and i think
"Eeeeee that is SHORT.. how did that happen? Why did nobody tell me?!"
 Haha!
But i love it, its sweatshirt material is lovely  and comfy and it doesn't fly up keeping my modesty intact, even if it is on the shorter side;)
I paired it with my trusty gilet that has fast become a winter staple and hid my tiredness behind some classic pattern mixing.
What i can't hide is the fact that it started pouring down whilst we took these photos, i looked like a complete weirdo stood in the rain.. in a gilet.. posing for photos.. what an absolute crazy person!

Finding the perfect daywear LBD ( & P4F LINKUP!)

I had been on the hunt for years for the perfect everyday lbd. Not a fancy lbd like most women have in the armoury, and can be turned upon for any night out, but an lbd for day-wear. Something comfy but still smart and that definitely felt wearable and re-mixable. My search had proved fruitless for years; too short, too fancy, too frilly, too tight.
Until now.
I found the most wonderful lbd for daywear. And it was by complete accident.
Remember recently my new found love with & Other Stories through this dress? Well that dress has been worn more than anything in my wardrobe over the last few weeks. I loved the style, comfy fit and fabric. So with that in mind i went back to peruse the website to see what other possible lovelies they had there. And there it was. This perfect little black everyday dress.
And let me tell you, it is wonderful! (fyi, this isn't a paid/ c/o post i genuinely LOVE this brand) The dress is the same fabric as my stripy dress and its comfy and smart all at the same time.
This past week, i chose to wear it with this wine coloured biker jacket that i recently picked up in Primark, a leopard print bag and my new most favourite Yosa necklace....
The Heritage (the fabulous Sera named this beauty) isn't it just gorgeous?
Its the sister necklace to The Majestic which incidentally sold out after 4 days of being live on the site (its now well and truly back in stock now) and i am just in love with them both. The Heritage is just so regal and beautiful. On a plain black dress it really does steal the show. Yosa has just launched on Instagram too, would love you to come and follow so we can be IG buddies there too! We are just launching a Yosa friends 10% discount offer with code: YOSAFRIENDS 
So my friends there we go, shop freely with this discount!
