Just for a change today I went shopping ha, ha. This time I went with my sister and we visited a craft fair at the Nottingham Contemporary Museum which was excellent. We then did a little bit of Christmas shopping before meeting hubby and the twins for some lunch. They had also gone to town but we went our separate ways so that they could buy me tonnes and tonnes of presents, come to think of it they didn't seem to have any with them when I saw them!? We had lunch at Thea Caffea which is a lovely restaurant who specialise in afternoon tea but also have a breakfast and lunch menu as well as a selection of cakes. They are very child friendly which always helps.
I decided to go leopard print today and started with some tights, unfortunately they do not seem to have shown up on the photos. I wore a black Boden (similar) skirt from a few seasons ago and a pink and orange leopard print cardigan from Clements Ribeiro at Tkmaxx. I popped on a necklace I have had for ages and have posted on here many times from Primark.
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.
