Roller Derby – Level 2 Sign Offs
February 10, 2014Buckle Up….
February 12, 2014Welcome to another week.
The weather is pretty grotty, so at this time of year I grab any excuse to celebrate and cling onto it for dear life, and it just so happened that this weekend another opportunity presented itself.
On Saturday lunch time I had my Sign Off sessions for Level 2 Roller Derby Skills with The Norfolk Brawds. Our league has 4 levels in total before you can play in public bouts, but passing Level 2 means that after some mandatory contact classes I will be cleared to take part in scrimmage practice and actually start learning to play the game properly. Anyway, not to bore you with all the details, I’ll keep that for Lipstick, Lettuce & Lycra, but suffice to say I passed, and thus a reason to celebrate was born!
I swear I have no clothes to wear at the moment. I really am struggling with my winter wardrobe this year. I had a pair of tights from My Tights that I was planning to save for Valentines Day, but I decided they needed a Saturday outing and used them and a kimono wrap to jazz up a very boring black jersey dress.
ā„ Kimono – ASOS ā„ Dress- M&S via a Charity Shop ā„ Tights c/o My Tights ā„ Shoes – Chie Mihara from Bettylicious* ā„
Don’t worry, there is also a coat lurking just out of shot, but all outfit posts from November to March can’t feature me in the same winter coat or it would be very dull, so I briefly shivered in the name of outfit photos.
The Chie Mihara shoes are super comfortable for walking into town, but also make me feel super elegant, and seeing as I was celebrating a Roller Derby win I topped it off with my custom Norfolk Brawds name necklace, from Sugar & Vice.
I went out about 4pm, but I was pretty exhausted after sign offs, it’s quite an intense session, so I actually found myself curled up back on my sofa by 8pm. Still, it was good to feel celebratory and have something to brighten up the gloomy weather!

I was at a LRG bout this weekend and there was a surprising amount of people wearing Norfolk Brawds T-Shirts! I always think of you when I see them.
I also feel you on the winter wardrobe problems, I feel I’m wearing the same three outfits all the time!
Yay! Yes, I knew a few people were going down for that! I was wearing the same 3 outfits, but I appear to have killed them all and they are now full of holes!

Those shoes are a little ray of sunshine aren’t they? Love the kimono wrap over the dress too, but glad you had a warm coat to pop back on after the photos. Well done on your certificate, you look chuffed to bits with it! P x

Those shoes. Wish I hadn’t looked! They are gorgeous.
Try stockingshq for leg wear also, we do a good range ;-D
I so wish I’d bought that kimono top when everyone went for the jumpsuit, whenever that was!
Fabulous look and well done the roller derby thing.
Hi, those tights are definitely what you can call a statement tights. Love it.
