Cute New Outfits

Good afternoon, whilst the next post is not about the house, it IS about feeling pretty (and the house is in the background, after all).  I've been watching a fair bit of Pushing Daisies lately, and am utterly besotted with the wardrobe of Charlotte Charles, AKA Chuck.  Losing a bit of chunk has given me the opportunity to choose new clothes and styles and I'm relishing it!  I put together an outfit in theory, seeing how it would look together.  This is the result:
Happy with the way it looked, I decided to rock it for real this morning.  I'm going for 'Librarian Chic' here, and I think I pulled it off...

The exact pieces aren't identical, but I like seeing it all down together first.  Perhaps I will start keeping photos of all my clothes so that I don't have to go hunting through the wardrobe trying on hundreds of combinations to see if I like something together.  Hmm, I feel a project coming on!

A Few Changes...

There have been a few changes to the blog, and there are probably some more to come.  I've had a few changes myself-so if you'll forgive the self-indulgent nature of this post, I'll fill you in.  I've decided to finally lose my extra weight.  I was about two and a half stone overweight, and I've just about lost the first stone.  Yay me.  I've finally started to feel 'pretty' again, and I've wanted to reflect this in my house, my clothes...everything.  Hence the changes.  I've started to re-decorate some of the house, and I'm super excited to share that with you!
I'm going to find the pictures from the original Estate Agency listing for our house, because even though it's a rental and we've not been able to change anything structurally, it was still a bland white box when we moved in.  I've also been baking more and making cute bento-style lunches for myself and the Mr, so perhaps a few of those will pop up.  Who knows?
Also, I've just ordered a new camera, so no more iPhone pictures!
I've just finished the bathroom.  I painted it whisper pink, and bought a cute print from keep calm gallery that reminds me to look lovely.
I love fresh starts, and I'm starting to feel like a bit of a different person.  I've even turned into a MORNING person, which I have never been in all of my 25 years.  I like this period of change, it's exciting and I wonder where I'll end up?  Hopefully it will be somewhere spectacular and you'll all be there to share it with me!
