I'M BACK BABY!

Well it has been a crazy few months, but I'm so glad I found my motivation to get back to blogging, even if it did come at the expense of my longest running writing contracts coming to an abrupt end (the online publishing industry is so cut-throat).

 So anyway to catch you up, I have finally found the strength to get my anxiety issues sorted and will be starting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Monday - I'm pooping my pants over it but determined that 2013 is the year to get healthy. Christmas and New Year was great, I was spoiled rotten and my sister got engaged and I'm honoured she picked me to be one of her bridesmaids (she has great taste so I'm not worried about a poofy, blancmange monstrosity).

So I may as well start off 2013 with a wee little outfit post...these pants are one of my faves ever, except zipping them over my big round bottom can be a bit of an ordeal, it does require an extra pair of hands, but my boyfriend is happy to oblige :)

Printed Pants and Collar - H&M
Shirt - Glamorous
Biker Jacket and Loafers - Matalan





So how was everyone's festive season? Fabulous I hope!

And going on a tangent, can any of my fashionable friends tell me where I can get a good white shirt to wear with statement jeans?

  1. Cool collar! If you're looking for basic white collared tops and/or t-shirts, I tend to get mine at Ann Taylor LOFT and Zara. :D

    1. Usually you can find white shirts everywhere, and the minute I want one, there are none to be found...typical!

  2. Happy New Year! I'm a bridesmaid to my sister this year too, I tried on my dress in a pub loo when we met over Christmas - luckily she also has good taste and the dress is lovely. Love the outfit, I am a fan of what my husband calls lairy trousers!

  4. Welcome back, you look amazing in those jeans.

    I started CBT last year and I swear it's saved me. I've never been so able to cope with the world. It's natural to be scared, but try and embrace it xx

  5. Love those jeans, and the shirt! I'm having therapy/CBT at the moment, and it's difficult but so worth it. Hope 2013 is wonderful for you xx

    1. I really hope it is worth it, it has taken me so long to take the step I can't back out now, but I am terrified!

    1. Well thanks to the NHS it's free therapy so I can't really say no :)
      As long as I'm still a little bit bonkers I will be Okay!
