It’s FrOctober… and as vain as posting photos of you outfits online can seem – I rather like this initiative and have seen lots of good come out of it on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

So keep on frocking it, ladies! (and kick that PND to the curb!)

The weather is totally nuts at the moment. Rain and sunshine alternate literally every 20 minutes every day.  Since it’s July though, I wear summer clothes most of the time – goosebumps or not.

Skirt: GAP
Top: River Island
Cardigan: Monton
Shoes: GAP

I don’t usually wear heels but I am today and thankfully these wedges are very comfy – I don’t know why I haven’t worn them for over a year.

Of course I left my good camera at home today, so from tonight there will only be fuzzy iPhone photos. Tomorrow I’ll try to get a few better shots.

Here’s to a wild and wonderful 24 hours!

It’s not just a boring grey long sleeve t-shirt, you see – it’s a unique piece of artwork on an extremely soft and comfortable piece of clothing – designed by an organisation called Sevenly.

Sevenly has a new design every week and $7 from each purchase go to that week’s charity. To check out all the cool designs and all the charities that they support, check out this page.

£7 from my top went to a charity working in Uganda, this week’s charity is the National Autism Association in the US.

I’m a sucker for supporting charities and to get something ‘back’ is definitely nice – I think I would have bought this top even without the charity aspect, it’s just very nice and comfy for my casual Wednesdays out of the office.

What do you think – a cool fundraising idea or are you over charities tempting money out of you all the time?

Once in a blue moon I find something nice in the clothing department at Sainsbury’s. I never volunteer that information to my husband (he’s a bit posh like that :) but my latest buy is this top, which is super soft and a nice cut.

The trousers are pretty much my only pair of non-jeans*, I don’t like to wear trousers much as I prefer dresses for work, but some mornings I cannot be bothered to put on tights.

Zara clothes do not usually fit my body type for some reason, but these trousers are a nice comfy fit and made from soft but warm fabric for winter.

Boots – I have 2 pairs of work boots*, black knee-high ones and these little brown ones. I wear the brown ones at least 3 times a week. They’re cute and fleece lined inside – a must for me as my toes tend to get cold very easy.

And my hair is sort of blonde now, although I would have liked it to be even more blonder. Maybe next time I’ll go another step lighter.

*I don’t have a lot of clothes or shoes, I tend to buy stuff that I know will go with what I already have and that goes with the few pairs of boots and shoes that I have. I never every buy a whole outfit.

Dress and cardi: Kew
Grey tights: GAP
Boots: Jones

I’m loving playing with brown, grey and navy at the moment. I no longer own a black pair of work trousers that I just wear non stop with a different cardi (like I used to in my previous life in Canberra :|).

I find that black doesn’t agree with my winter-white complection and it’s so much more fun to combine other colours – muted, of course, I’m not into bright stuff in the winter – tends to clash with that pasty face of mine as well.
