Dungarees!!!!

Hello hello hello! How have you all  been keeping?
Life has been pretty busy (when is it not, amiright?!) and the days just seem to be speading past at lightning speed. But its all good!
I have done zero outfit photos of late, mostly because Hubby has been working so so much and by the time he gets back i am literally in joggers of pj's with make up wiped off and my full chill mode is on.
So yesterday i grabbed the poor man as soon as he got in to just capture literally what i had on  (which was nothing special) whilst our salmon was cooking in the oven for tea.

Its a super casual outfit as i have been super casual on my days off lately, mostly jeans and shirts. Then these bad boys arrived from Asos and i fell in love!! I first spied these on the lovely Jemma and stalked her on IG and added them to my basket on Asos multiple times, then last week they were reduced and i finally gave in and bought them for myself. I was a bit wary of dungarees on my pear shape body, but i threw caution to the wind and just went for it. And can i just say, they are so damn comfy! Like, do not want to wear anything else ever again, comfy...

 This little guy came out for a nosey (note: i do normally out shoes on my children, i promise!;-) and decided he wanted to get in on the action, which is a regular occurrence.  After a few weeks of tantrums and strops and generally being hard work, he has been a little darling lately. We sit, we play, we cuddle, we read books. Its just the most heart warming, lovely time. I love having his company at the moment (but with a toddler, that could so change at any time!) He cracks me up! Even at 6.15 in the morning when hes stroking my face and saying in his cute little voice " Mummy, Neo hungey" i just can't resist scooping him up and squeezing him with cuddles,heehee.

 Speaking of the little guy, i visited his school this morning. You guys, how is this happening!! He starts full time school on September 4th!! I mean how can this be? How is my son old enough for school?!!! Who stole the last (nearly) 3 years?! No fair!!
I got a bit excited, the school is wonderful and i think he will love it too.. fingers crossed. He has a little uniform and everything, its the cutest!

 Anyway moving back to the outfit, have you guys tried dungarees? Do you love or loathe? I felt a bit like a country hick in this get up, but i totally dig that! And the bandanna was a pound from Ebay (the wonder that is) and is really helping with this annoying fringe (bangs) growing out period, which seems to be taking forever. I honestly thought it would be a lot quicker, knowing how fast my hair normally grows. Obviously by hair is a defiant biatch and does the opposite of what i actually want it would appear. Speaking of hair, i get really annoyed with it down at the moment, like it irritates me to the point where i want to cut it all off, do you ever feel like this my fellow long haired lovelies? Ever get irritated with it and want to chop it off?

So its very nearly the weekend folks, bring it on i say! Hope you have a fantastic one!!

Hello lovelies, and how are we? Good, yes?
Well Mondays rolled round once again as quick as ever!
I managed to get out this weekend to Hobbycraft to stock up on some bits that i need for some crafty plans. Last night i went to bed and crafty goodness was whirling round and round in that lil brain of mine and i'm feeling totally inspired right now! I just want to get my teeth in to a good productive project or two. I'm looking forward to autumn coming by and picking up where i left off last year on the crochet and knitting front too, for some reason these seem like winter sports to me. Summer i just cant seem to pick up those needles. Strange...
I've never been a crafty gal so im really enjoying these new skills im picking up along the way and new hobbies to entertain my over active mind. Only problem is, finding time. I dont even know where im supposed to pluck that from?! Answers on a postcard...please!?!

Lips top: Old originally Dorothy Perkins but i got it from Ebay about 3 years ago
Jeans: F&F Tesco
Shoes: Lotta
Cardi: Super old from Topshop
Bag and belt: Matalan
Necklace: Vintage
Glasses c/o: Firmoo

So again this is mostly old. The jeans are from the new range of jeans in at Tesco right now. Obnoxiously pink jeans were missing from my ever growing coloured jeans collections, so added they were and me likey.(ive also added mustard...prepare to see them a lot, I likey them too!)
The top originally had a floppy wierd bow that just didnt sit right. i bought it ages ago on ebay for pennies and then didnt like it, squirreled it away for 2 years, dug it out by complete fluke the other day whilst sorting stuff out and now love it, plus the stupid floppy bow fell off as i was trying it on. This is why i hate getting rid of clothes. Im fickle!
exhibit b to my fickleness: This cardi. This cardi was bought when i was 18 (eeeek nearly 10 years ago:/ ....) its a size 10 and i used to wear it a fair bit. I then got bored of it and gave it to my mum about 3 years ago. She then got some wear out of it and then forgot about it. For some reason i thought to myself the other day, "oh how i miss that thin striped cardi" random, i know. So i text mummy dearest and what d'you know shes a squirreler too and had it at the back of her wardrobe.
Dont get me wrong i can't do it up but it was perfect for a bit of pattern mixing!

This is why im a hoarder hoarderson!! But a happy one!
