Side swept

 

It might not be quite as apparent as it ought from these pictures but believe me, the side wind was blowing a hoolie. 

In standard Sophie fashion I'd coaxed myself into making myself feel presentable in town when we picked up some supplies. I wore my new dress I'd naughtily bought a few weeks before from the Original Factory Shop. It was cheap and looked so autumnal, I feel like I've committed some sin by buying it new but there we go. Anyway, it's not flattering in the slightest and nothing remotely how I imagined it fitting so I was pretty deflated about that and toyed with taking it back. Bad news is that I'm at fault, not the dress so for no logical I threw two fingers up at the truth and wore it anyway. To town I wore it with my favourite black heeled ankle boots which always make me feel taller and more fun. My new (apologies again!!) black mock-croc mock-leather jacket on top which is super comfy and shall become a staple like it's light brown sister. The result was one I could tolerate; it was fun and less frumpy. However, travelling home with frozen food did not leave any scope for a detour to stop for even a swift outfit stop so I had to make do with a few snaps with my big old Magnum boots instead. I threw off my coat into the leaf litter and got goosie for a couple of minutes. Que Sera. 

I loved the colour, print and sleeves. I'll have to wear it with my jacket and heels again in the hope of feeling a bit more positive about it.

Bucket and Spade necklace was a cute present from Kezzie, earrings are my most worn, bangles are just a handful I grabbed from my stash. 

Right, I'm off to kick Lockround II's sorry backside, taking no prisoners. 

Take care,

Sophie
