The Week Off - Part Two

My week off continued with another pyjama day on Thursday where I tried to resist online shopping and FAILED. But it was ok... I only spent £2.68 on a choker necklace on eBay. I don't really buy clothes from eBay because I'm quite fussy so I only like buying clothes online if I can return them! However, you can get some really good bargains on jewellery and you can find things that you wouldn't find anywhere else. I think that chokers are going to be really big this SS so I thought I'd get in there before everyone else.

I've been looking for a cheap nail art set for ages but they all seem to be at least £6 and I always chip my nails so I don't fancy wasting that sort of money! Instead I decided to do a little experiment... I painted my nails with a coat of nude nail varnish and then when it was dry I got some sticky labels and cut out some little triangles. I stuck the triangles onto each nail right next to the nail beds and then painted a few coats of black nail varnish onto my nails. When the nail varnish was completely dry, I peeled off the sticky triangles. This was the outcome...

Nude Nail Varnish - Nice 'N' Neutral from Topshop
Black Nail Varnish - Black No.33 from Miss Sporty

I was really happy with the outcome - it wasn't perfect but I don't think it was too bad since I did it without a kit. I think it would look quite good with two bright colours instead of the neutral shades.  

In the evening Ricky and I went to TGI Fridays... yum yum! Thought I'd get a little bit dressed up for the occasion.

Shirt - Topshop, Skirt - Topshop, Glossy Tights - Primark, Chelsea Boots - Topshop

My floral shirt is actually a pyjama shirt but when I bought it I thought that it was way too pretty to only be worn in bed! It also looks great worn loose over leggings or skinny jeans as it's quite long AND it was cheaper than a normal Topshop shirt. I'd say that was win-win.

I couldn't resist a strawberry daiquiri!

This morning (Friday) my Glamorous order arrived (see my earlier post The Week Off - Part One) so I immediately ripped it open and tried on my purchases.

Shirt Dress - Glamorous, Leggings - Topshop, Shoes - Primark

I love the style of this shirt - it's a good length as it's long enough so that you could wear it with leggings and I love the cut out detail - but I think that the neutral colour washes me out. Unfortunately this one's getting sent back.

Bomber Jacket - Glamorous, Dress - Topshop, Shoes - Primark

I was really excited when I took the jacket out of the bag as I could tell it was really good quality. The sleeves are nice and thick and the front and back panel are double layered. However, when I put it on I was no longer excited - it looks horrendous on me! I tried zipping and unzipping but I just couldn't make it look right. I think it was because the material was quite heavy but the elastic around the bottom wasn't very tight so it hung down rather than staying in the 'bomber' shape. This one's getting sent back too... how sad :(

I'm definitely not put off of Glamorous though... they had loads of amazing pieces, I just happened to pick the wrong ones for me this time!
