We've had the invite for Adam's cousins wedding for months and I'm not gonna lie, for months I have been panicking about what I was going to wear, especially when I realised I would be 35 weeks pregnant!
The wedding was 96 miles from home however we decided that we weren't going stay over as I will be honest, I didn't want to be that far away from home for a long period of time and since we were going to be in the car for about 2 and a half hours I wanted something comfortable.

I knew I didn't want to spend a lot on an outfit, particularly so close to the end of my pregnancy when I knew I wouldn't get much wear out of it.


I ordered this dress from the Mothercare sale for a total bargain of £5 and loved it when it came - it looked perfect, was comfy - sorted.. however little miss had other ideas about it and thanks to a sudden growth spurt my lovely comfy dress although still fit was now not comfortable and defiantly not practical for sitting in the car for 2 and a half hours!
I then ordered a dress from the Dorothy Perkins sale - deciding to go up a size just in case however got an email from the 3 days after ordering it to say they had insufficient stock and had cancelled my order... queue pregnancy melt down and me threatening to go to the wedding in a bin bag :P
Id been through my wardrobe once and tried what I thought was all my suitable dresses on however I decided on Thursday to have another look at what I had knowing if all else fails I had a girly day with Mum and Nanna planned for Friday, the day before the wedding so would hunt something down.

To my surprise, not only did I find a suitable dress that had slipped off the coat hanger hiding at the back of my wardrobe but it fit!!! Yipee!

So today for Fashion Friday I thought I would share with you an OOTD from my trip out last night to the theatre.

Hello lovelies. How are we all. Its been a few weeks since I did one of these posts so I thought it was about time that we had a catch up - new month and all that so grab a drink and get comfy!

Im sporting a new cup today - some days just call for hot chocolate and today is certainly one of those days! Seriously how cold is it!!! I feel like it hasn't spotted raining for yearrrrrs (ok maybe thats a smidge dramatic!)

I can't believe it is February already! Where did January go?? It doesn't seem 5 minutes since we were cracking in the New Year and now here we are in February! Its my birthday next week (in 1 week in fact) so I have celebrations planned for that and also this month is the Midlands Blogger Meet up which I have been excited about for monnnnnnths since Emma and Kelly started organising it and I put my name down! It will be both my first time in Nottingham and more excitingly my first Blogger Event so I really am excited! Only 3 weeks to go!

Ive had a few nights out in January (which is totally unlike me usually) - last night I went out with the girls from work for a Chinese as one of the ladies I worked with retired last week. We had a really lovely night - especially after one of the girls introduced us to a game called 'I have never' - talk about laugh! Time for a cheeky outfit post as well, because lets face it you can't go out without a new outfit! I got this outfit because I thought it would serve a multitude of occasions this month - last night, the meal I am going out for next week for my birthday and also dressed down a bit with a pair of flats for a daytime look for the Midlands Blogger meet up! You may also notice that the bob is back! I went to the hairdressers yesterday afternoon and got both my bob and my fringe reinstated! I had fallen out of love with my hair - my side fringe was driving me mad and I am so much happier now its all bobby and sleek again!
So to the outfit!

So how are you all??? Let me know how you are and what you have all been up to or what you have planned! Especially let me know if you are going to the Midlands Blogger Meet Up!!!

:)

When I got an invite for a family friend who was having a rock/prom party to celebrate a host of celebrations this year which had happened - a 50th Birthday, an 18th birthday and a 16th birthday all in the space of a few months - I knew I was going straight down the prom theme. I did briefly look at the rock side but who doesn't want the excuse to don a pretty dress and heels?

In the last few years, I have accumulated some lovely dresses what with one for my 18th, 2 lots of graduation and various weddings and parties I had a few to choose from. However yesterday when on the morning of the party I finally decided to sort out what I was going to wear I was shocked to find that 3 or 4 of my dresses were wayyyyyyy to big! Including one I brought at christmas I have only had on once! Heres what I went with...


What do you think about customising your clothes? Have you ever adding in a bit of detail to make something jazzed up a little??

As promised here is an OOTD from yesterday when my mum and dad renewed their wedding vows to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary on Wednesday. It was truly a beautiful day and it was so lovely for all our family to get together.
