I’ve been shopping!

Bear with me but I’m a little excited as after months of just wearing my old maternity clothes, I have finally got round to going shopping and buying a few new clothes :) Unfortunately I have nobody here to show them off to at the moment and so I thought I’d post some pics here to show them off :) When I say “shopping” I of course mean it in the “sitting on my sofa with a cup of tea and my iphone” type of shopping as I just don’t like going into shops and with 2 small children it is pretty much impossible!

I’ll start by saying these are all from Next as it is one of my favourite shops, and I’ll just clarify that they haven’t asked me to write this post, I’m doing it because I want to show off all my new clothes :) I am however part of their blogger network which you can check out by clicking on the badge on the left sidebar of the blog :)

As you will probably be able to tell from the following photos, I’m very happy that my favourite colour seems to be in trend this autumn/winter and so I’ve gone a little mad buying things (and yes they do coordinate with my bedroom aswell lol but as I said it IS my favourite colour!)

A stripey blue number

Teal spotty top :)

Teal and Navy Stripey Top

Teal top with scarf

Something that isn't teal (I thought I'd be brave!)

A little present I got from Next for a previous post - and no animals were harmed in making this! I am veggie remember!

And I just couldn’t resist these shoes, completely impractical for mum duties but they ARE my favourite colour ;)

Shoe Love!

I think that little lot will keep me going for a little while at least, now I just need to have a major wardrobe clearout and make space for it all :)

My new party dress!

I’m frequently sent lovely items to review for Zara and Oscar but it makes a lovely change when I’m asked to choose and review something for myself :)

The lovely people at Kaleidoscope recently contacted me and asked just that, would I like to choose something from their website to receive and review? I of course snapped their hand off and spent some time browsing their site trying to decide what to choose.

In practical mum mode, I was tempted with jeans, jumpers and my usual staple wardrobe items but in a flash of inspiration I decided to treat myself to a lovely new party dress because it’s at least 4 years since I last bought one and everyone deserves to have a little bit of glamour in their wardrobe ;)

Kaleidoscope have some gorgeous party dresses and I decided to go for this one? Do you like it? I opted for blue because everyone needs a little black dress but black tends to make me look a little washed out whereas dark blue is much softer on my skin tone :) I love how on their website they have videos of real people in real sized clothes wearing the dress so you can get an idea of what it looks like when not on a size 4, 6ft tall model :)

Oh I suppose I should show you what it looks like on me :) I don’t exactly do it the justice that the model above does but I think I can pull it off!

 

 

Do you like it? Right now I need to find an excuse to get my husband to take me somewhere nice so I can wear it :) Pop on over to Kaleidoscope to have a look and see what other beautiful things they have on offer :)
