Here's another remixed work outfit for you all. I wore this last Friday, switching the skirt for my disco pants for the evening. I have to say this pencil skirt is definitely continuing to give and give. It has to be the most versatile and comfortable work item I own, and I love how form fitting it is on me. A good pencil skirt is hard to find!

This was supposed to be a post about how amazing these trousers are. They were a £5 score from a sale rail in a Brighton vintage shop, and I was in love with them. Last night I washed them for the first time, and they are now ill fitting pedal pushers. I'm an idiot, and most certainly in mourning mood today. However, here are the two ways I managed to wear them before chaos ensued :(

Another day, another horrifically exposed photograph! Oh dear. This was mainly to show off some over the knee socks I made by altering a pair of cable knit tights that didn't work for me (Dorothy Perkins, I'm looking at you right now!), adding some elastic and some haphazard hemming.

One work outfit today. This grey pinafore (60s I believe) was a score from the last round of vintage stock I sold. Sad times! I found it when I was interviewing last year, and it's served me amazingly as a professional dress. This outfit *almost* makes me like dressing professionally, until I realise that there's really no need to do that when you spend your days hunting around in dusty vaults, as I do!

One very belated outfit today, worn to work one day last week. I'm all behind on outfits right now, because I'm packing for a holiday! Tomorrow night I'm off to see my partner in Leeds, then to Amsterdam with a friend, so all is chaos right now. Normal service will resume soon.

Ahhh, this Monday does NOT agree with me. Exciting stuff to talk about soon. In the mean time, here's my latest etsy purchases, the 70s maxi shirt dress of dreams. Needless to say, I felt pretty fancy swanning around in this Saturday afternoon, though the skirt is more than slightly sheer so requires some shorts beneath!

Oh my, it was sunny today! Well, until about midday anyway, and now it's pouring with rain. Oh dear. In celebration of something resembling spring this morning, I broke out a new blouse and a *gosh* exposed midriff. Now that is something I thought I'd never do! However, these jeans give me the best shape and quite frankly, they don't deserve to be covered up. The blouse was a recent find on eBay, it's way too tight around the hips, but the collar is so beautiful (and I always wear shirts tucked in nowadays anyhow).

I spent today on a thrifting mission with one of my parents, scoring two large pieces of tartan (£3), one brown and grey paisley (enough for another dress! £3), some cropped pleated red wool trousers (£5 from a vintage shop, I never find vintage trousers my size!) and two dresses which set me back £8 each. Sometimes Brighton is a little too good to me, and a little bad on my bank balance! I also finished another skirt today - more to follow when I finish catching up on my sewing projects.
