Sports day

Sports day !!! This was the first thought that came to mind when I opened the parcel from Envii and had a look at its contents, it was definitely not sports a sports day for me but with all the running around I've been doing in the last few days I feel like a sporty outfit was in place.

I have to admit inspiration hasn't been a friend over the last couple of weeks when it comes to outfits, a combination of over working and general stressful happenings in my life are leaving completely exhausted at the moment so when it comes to getting dressed I only want what's comfortable and easy to wear and I think today was the perfect day for this dress to arrive as it was just what I was hoping for.

I mentioned last week that I was checking out the Envii website and found so many great looking basics so I decided to test the water and ordered this dress. The order processing times were a little slow if you're used to UK retailers but since it shipped from Denmark I think it was worth the wait! I'm really happy with it. After ordering I was a bit worried that the dress might be too sheer or to thin but I can honestly say the quality and fit are great so I think I'll be checking out Envii more often when I need to stock up on new basics! Overall I'm quite excited to wear this dress, it's so simple it really doesn't need any additions, just a nice pair of shoes and a couple of chunky metal bracelets and

Letting some light in

I spent the past week bed-ridden, trying to fight off the flu that knocked me down completely and forced me into bed for over a week. Spending a whole week at home in my pyjamas has definitely taken its toll because by the time I finally started feeling better I started feeling quite fed up with the winter, the gloomy weather, the pre-Christmas madness and pretty much everything, but the worst was trying to get myself back into proper clothes. All the doom and gloom of the last few weeks just made me feel like I'm absolutely fed up of everything dark and grey, including all those lovely items in my wardrobe that suddenly looked so unappealing. I really felt like I need a change and wanted to inject some colour into my wardrobe after holding myself for so long so I went to Zara and ended up with this lovely printed dress that has a bit of a Isabel Marant vibe to it and is definitely an item I'll be happy wearing when it gets warmer. To that , for cold days I decided to add a khaki colour shirt that will be replacing my battered and abused vintage denim shirt that I had in my closet for a good few years now. 

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing more colour in my wardrobe and can't wait for new season items to start arriving into the shops.
