A Week in my Wardrobe

How do you dress every day?

In an online conversation a couple of weeks ago someone mentioned that bloggers only show off their favourite or fancy outfits, so you don’t really know how people dress every day.

So I decided to spend a week documenting my daily outfits on instagram, and then come back and blog about them.

I’ll admit, you may consider yourself lucky that I had to leave the house every day this week or otherwise there might have been some pyjamas in there, I am self employed, and whilst I don’t do that often, sometimes, maybe, I just do. It was also a week that was hot, hot, hot, so not all of the outfits are things I wear every week, but if I carried on this experiment for any length of time you’d certainly see a lot of repeats! Maybe I’ll do it again in cooler weather.

❤ Playsuit – George at Asda last year* ❤ ballet pumps – Primark ❤

Monday I only left the house for Roller Derby training in the evening. I normally wear leggings, but it was so hot that I thought I’d drag this playsuit out of the wardrobe as it’s a bit cooler.

Tuesday

012

❤ T shirt – TU at Sainsburys ❤ Skirt – Lady K Loves ❤ Shoes – F+F at Tesco ❤
❤ Hair Flower – Betsy Hatter ❤

I was in hotels for a couple of days last week, so living out of a suitcase. This is a classic summer outfit for me, T shirt or blouse and a skirt. The shoes are now sadly out of stock at Tesco, which is a shame as they’re great summer every day sandals.

❤ Dress – Vintage 1940s ❤ Shoes – F+F at Tesco ❤ Hair Flower – Betsy Hatter ❤

I spent the night in the hottest hotel in the world. I actually had to go and sit in an air conditioned KFC because I thought I felt queasy. This is a 1940s pinafore sun dress with frilled shoulders that is one of the coolest dresses I have for hot weather. I set my hair, not because there is any point having curls when it’s so humid, they’ll be long gone soon, but because the alternative to a wet set was using a hair dryer. Shudder.

Thursday

033

❤ T-Shirt – bought at the gift shop at the SS Great Britain ❤
❤ Skirt – Vintage from a Charity Shop ❤ Shoes – Chatham Marine* ❤

 See, straight hair again, without washing or straighteners, stupid humidity. Today I was heading out to try out my new roller skates at an over 18s “Roller Disco” I didn’t stay long, just long enough to see if I could stand up on them. Almost is the answer. This skirt is a regular in my wardrobe at the moment, I probably wear it at least one or twice a week at the moment, it cost the grand total of £1 from a charity shop back in May.

Friday

011

❤ Blouse – New Look last year ❤ Skirt – Antoni & Alison at TK Maxx ❤
❤Shoes – Carvela @ TK Maxx* ❤ Bangles – Charity Shop ❤ Hair Flower – Abilu Creations* ❤

Another stonking hot day, and I ended up wearing this last minute as nothing in my wardrobe fit me. I was so hot and horribly bloaty that I couldn’t get zips done up on any of the dresses I intended to wear, so I ironed a blouse 5 minutes before I had to leave the house to shoot off to an evening meeting. I was very hot and irritable, hence my starey stressy face.

Saturday

018

❤ Dress – Tu at Sainsburys ❤ Silver hair band and ballet pumps – Primark ❤

Evening meeting became evening drinks and no dinner, so on Saturday I was horribly hungover, so easy dress and ballet flats it was. The sun had disappeared too, to be replaced by drizzly rain and grey skies to suit my mood.

Sunday

026

 ❤ Dress – Love Ur Look*  ❤ Cardigan – TK Maxx  ❤ Shoes – Rocket Dog at TK Maxx  ❤

The iPhone snap of Mondays post outfit! I actually wore this dress again on Monday, when the sun came back out, should have take the photos then instead, although a trip to the post office is less photogenic than Yarmouth seafront!

So that was a week in my wardrobe! There’s a couple of fancy outfits in there, and a few boring every day ones, and a few nicer every day ones, like most weeks I guess.

How does your weekly wardrobe normally pan out?
