Black & Yellow

- Skirt: Primark - Jumper: Matalan - Rings: asos (in gold) - Haircuff: H&M - Scarf: Ted Baker - Bag: Michael Kors -

I figured it's about time I finally got round to doing an outfit post.  I actually took these photos weeks ago, but when it came to posting them I had absolutely nothing to say!  I got this jumper from Matalan (which I haven't been to for years but was pleasantly surprised with); it's seriously soft and was an absolute bargain at £6.  Even at Primark you'd have been looking at double figures for it at least!

For those wondering, Operation Slimdown is going....ok.  I say ok, because I haven't actually hit any of my targets and lost any weight, but I have lost inches (3 off my hips and 1.5 off my waist) so I guess that's good?  I just need to get out of the mindset of counting lbs and calories because I know that's not all there is to it, and I can feel a massive difference in my fitness levels and in the exercise my body can actually take....it's just a bit disheartening to try so hard yet jump on the scales and see no difference.  And seeing as there's no change, my ultimate reward of a new tattoo might just have to be booked regardless, otherwise I'll never end up getting it!

It's a busy week ahead of work; end of term always is, and tomorrow we're holding a jubilee tea party for the children after school.  I'm really looking forward to it; some of the teachers are involved and doing things like a big game of cricket with the children, plus the local newspaper is coming down to take some pictures.  We've all worked hard and I feel really proud to see it all coming together....me and one little girl even wrote a letter inviting the Queen!  And of course, I've been thinking of the important stuff and painting my nails.....

What are your plans for the Jubilee?
