Flipping your fins you don't get very far...

Hello there! Blogger is refusing to let me upload any more photos at the moment (that whole Picasa issue from before) so here is a lone shot so I can post a hello!  Purple!

I had quite a good day all in all, my last cornet lesson with the children where I managed to play G's without exploding!  Drumming club was really good fun except for a hyper child who wont be quiet! Still, he's fabulous at the drums, it's just when he stops playing that he is a pest!

In the outfit above, I rewear the skirt from last Thursday.  I always feel a little like a mermaid in this as those little fin like swathes of chiffony material billow as I walk.  I like teaming purple and turquoise/green together- it makes me think of my Mum!  The top was a recent 2nd hand purchase- it's silk from Warehouse and it feels really nice. I just love all the ruffles.  Worn with ancient thrifted purple felt hat, Aldo shoes and Secret santa sparkly necklace!

Have you succumbed to the lure of the ASOS sale?!  I keep seeing a certain pair of mint-coloured gingerbread men-patterned shoes which finally made me go and have a look.  Why oh why did I look!? I found loads of things I like!  The gingerbread men refused to accommodate my large feet so I stupidly consoled myself with sky-blue brogues!  Just waiting for DPD to redeliver...  Hope they are too small for me so I have to send them back! Willpower- nil.  Have you succumbed to anything you wish you hadn't!
