One of my close friends recently told me about the new tkmaxx in Derby. I popped over there this afternoon, leaving the twins with their Grandparents. It was a bit strange not having them in tow but it certainly made for an easier shopping time.
I picked up a few bits for Christmas and a couple of things for the twins as well as some bargains for myself, of course! As I love this Cynthia Rowley dress that I got recently I was pleased to see some different dresses today. I found this cute pink one which was reduced to £15, I like the panels of black on the side and back which I think adds something different to the dress and it will look great with some thick black tights.
I also picked up this Clements Ribeiro merino wool cardigan which I plan to wear with this skirt, I am hoping that the contrast between the stipes and spots will work well. I got some grey Calvin Klein tights as well and these will tie in with the grey stripe in the cardigan.
Last night I had such an awful nights sleep with the hubby waking me on this return from work, an aeroplane at 5am and hubby up again at 6am that I decided not to rush around to our usual Wednesday morning date of baby group (sorry ladies, we missed you and the bubbas) And how much was it raining?!
We were meeting my aunt for lunch at Relish in Beeston at 12ish so I had some time to decide on an outfit and for once the twins kindly had a mid-morning nap, lucky Mummy! If you have not been, and are local enough, you should try it. They serve the most delicious home cooked food and cake in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. They are very welcoming to babies and children as well and never moan about my crying babies, two highchairs and piles of bags and coats. We make it pretty much a weekly destination!
As I have reached my target 'post baby diet' weight today I was feeling happy and decided to wear my new Cynthia Rowley dress I got from Tkmaxx a few months ago (similar here). I paired it with a brown boyfriend cardigan from Boden that I have had for a few years (similar here) and my very old and worn Tesco brown boots.
I curled my hair for once, probably a mistake in all this rain, and popped on my collar necklace from Hobbs.
I've added a new feature (thanks to some help from a fellow blogger!) so hopefully you can click on some of the links and view
the items I am referring to.
I'm going to take a risk and put a link to the other blog so that you can all have a look as I know it is so nice to have new readers, I hope you don't mind Kim. Kim has just started a blog all about fashion and beauty and her skills put mine to shame!
