I don’t know about you but we are desperately trying to combat our January blues! We are both back at work after a little Christmas break and it has proved very difficult to adjust to the routine of it all. Earlier in the week, we decided to go for a little ‘congrats on spending more than 4 hours out of your pyjamas’ pick-me-up drink in Clifton and managed to coincide our trip with the most beautiful sunset! Ah, January. I guess you’re not so bad after all.
M&S very kindly sent us some tights to try out which, as you might have guessed, we are expertly modelling above. I (Jo) plumped for some patterned grey tights from their Best of British range which I have been very impressed with! They fit nicely (no ballet jumps necessary) and I have been quite rough with them but they show no sign of snagging just yet! In contrast, Victoria went for some Luxe Warm Toes Tights* which, although keeping her toes toasty, did actually ladder on the first wear. Oh tights, why do you do this to us?
I also took the opportunity to wear possibly my favourite sale purchase of all time, the Boden squirrel dress of wonder. It’s so perfect that it hurts my feelings that I can’t just wear it everyday. I teamed it with new Office boots (thanks Mum!), white Topshop socks, a brown Primark belt and my pink Boden* coat. Victoria broke out her disco ball style brogues from New Look at ASOS, her incredible red collared dress from Primark (a recent purchase, Primarni fans), a vintage yellow bag from Clifton based Bees & Graves and her stripy Boden* coat.
We accessorised our outfits with a massive bridge.

Eek, you just made me buy that squirrel dress! That print is just brilliant! <3
Beautiful! I am also jealous of the non-frozen weather you’re having that allows such pretty frocks.
i know what you mean about adjusting to the working routine. hard to settle in :/ you both look lovely 🙂 the prints are lush!
Thank you. Roll on summer! Vx
It was pretty cold! Luckily we were very close to lots of lovely coffee shops! Vx
Oh my goodness, that red collared dress! When I was reading I expected it to be pretty expensive, I couldn’t believe it when you said it was primark!

I was so happy when I saw it. It was in the sale too! Some things are just meant to be
I must wear my squirrel skirt! I also find that I can just about get a day from a pair of tights, I think I have some kind of superpower.
Who is your tights supplier of choice Char? Vx
