The perfect cosy Sunday outfit?

As you may have heard, the weather and flooding has been absolutely terrible the past week and living in Tewkesbury has meant that we are a hub of the bad weather. The thing is, when it is cold and grey outside, all you want to do is cosy up under the duvet in your PJs but this outfit is a suitable, (people friendly) alternative...

Jumper: Monki, bodycon skirt: H&M, tights: Sainsburys, top (not seen):  Dorothy Perkins
 As you know, I am a BIG fan of Monki, I have slowly been adding more and more of their clothes to my wardrobe and I have not been disappointed. I love the range of clothes and I think the prices are very reasonable and I tell everyone  I know, they are definitely a brand that deserves more attention!


This Sarita sweater is possibly my favourite thing that I have bought from them though; it is ridiculously cosy, I love the colour (burgundy is my favourite at the moment!!) and the cute print is just a bonus...  Word of advice though, I got this in a small,when normally I would have to have the large. It is massively oversized as you can see and I would have drowned in a larger size (not something that ever usually happens to me!)


Apologies for the close up of my face but it gives a slightly better look at the heart print and the lovely Ballistic lipstick that has been my go to recently, along with my new foundation: Max Factor Face Finity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 foundation- a ridiculous name but a fantastic foundation. I love nearly all Max Factor foundations and the fact that they are pale enough for my ghostly face too (I wear Light Ivory for reference!)


Mini hearts knitted into the jumper are just the perfect finishing touch- definitely my favourite jumper (sorry fisherman's knit!)

What do you wear on a cosy Sunday? Any brands you rave about?

"Faux fur and lots of eyeliner..."

In response to the question "What are you wearing today?" from Mark, there really was only one answer! I hate to follow the stereotype but I was really hoping that I could pack away my thick tights and coats until September at least! [OK complaints about the weather are all over!]

Top: ASOS, shorts: Topshop, fur gilet: D.I.Y from Dorothy Perkins, tights: Primark, shoes:  c/o Spartoo, necklace: Accessorize
The last time I wore this gilet I was toying with trimming the sleeves down and I'm glad I did as it makes it look a lot less bulky and I feel less like a gorilla! 


I ordered these Buffalo shoes after searching for some flat shoes for work. Online they are described as grey but when they arrived I would say they are closer to a khaki grey/green which works surprisingly well as a neutral in my wardrobe. These are real leather so they are incredibly soft and hardly took any wearing in which is always a bonus. 


Outtake of the day: trying to keep my ears warm, after a freezing cold gust of wind nearly blew me over, luckily my jacket kept me warm...


What have you been wearing now it has gone chilly again? Which colours do you consider neutrals?
