In the red

 Hello there!

How are you? Well, I hope!

Sometimes, when it's time for the weekend, I wonder what to wear that signifies it is the weekend as what I wear for school is often quite relaxed and what I would wear at home anyway.

Then I think, I should wear something that I might not cycle in.

Actually, to be honest, I would probably cycle in this- so that didn't work! However, I do think that the skirt, even when worn with leggings, is probably a little short.
The quality of these photos is grainy but never mind- you don't mind!
All of this outfit is old- the beret, red sweater and boots are all charity-shopped and the skirt and turtle neck were long-ago retail buys and the leggings came from Aldi!
Oh, I do remember there's something that IS new!  Do you see my TARDIS blue necklace and earrings?
They were a freebie from a LOVELY insta friend who used to/still makes acrylic jewellery. I bought a light blue swirly galaxy necklace and she sent me the other one as an extra to spread some joy and because she loves my cosplays. Did I mention that, upon her suggestion, I cosplayed her toddler this Summer too! Apparently, it was a highlight for her! I actually love this one better than the one I purchased!


CBC and I had a lovely Saturday afternoon.  I'm really not sleeping well at the moment. I awake really early with my mind buzzing and thinking about all sorts of things (often school related) and I just can' get back to sleep.  I got up and did all the washing up, washing, bit of tidying and hoovering. I popped out to the charity shop around the corner and picked up a parcel. We headed for a drive to Leigh on Sea where they had a pop up Christmas fair which we enjoyed and bought a couple of presents.  We also visited a few shops including the green-grocer, the charity shop (Cashmere dress!!!!) and the Refill room. The latter was very exciting as they have started to stock Shiitake crisps and Beetroot crisps!  They are delicious!!!
We headed to a Boots to return an item and went out for Italian. We shared a garlic bread and then I had Spaghetti Bolognese (yes, I know it is really Ragu).  I even had a hazelnut dessert which was pleasant though not anything memorable! Back home, we tried watching 2 movies, both of which CBC declared were awful and left me to watch them. Boo to Negative Nelly! I enjoyed them!

Church tomorrow and hopefully a good night's sleep soon!

  1. I've been waking up even earlier than normal since the recent time change. Hopefully we can both get back to sleeping better. At least you got up and did something constructive!

    I really like those red boots!

  2. That's such a cute outfit, Kezzie, and I think you can definitely get away with wearing that short skirt with leggings!
    Fingers crossed, but I'm sleeping a lot better than I did a couple of months ago. I used to be like you, waking up really early and not being able to get back to sleep, with my mind racing about all sorts of things! I hope things get better for you soon! xxx
