THE Jumper

 Jumper- Topshop

Leggings- American Apparel (ASOS)

Listening too- Ben Howard- Only Love

*    My WARDROBE RENEWAL challenge was really fun and I have seen lots of things hidden in my wardrobe for the next one, this week I have decided to do a DIY CHALLENGE so we will see how that goes. I've got lots of ideas for it and think I will try my first one out today maybe. 

*    This jumper is an absolute BABE of a jumper. I fell in love with it after seeing it on LLYMLRS blog, I searched EVERYWHERE on the internet trying to find a seller, I called every store I could think of, full story on my Aye Aye Cap'n post, long story short I finally got it and I love it. I wore it with my ever trusty American Apparel leggings because I needed to run into town and do house work so went for comfort. The studs on the jumper give it such a good weight on the shoulders that it pulls it down rather than having that square shoulder look that most studded shoulders end up with. 

*    I went everywhere in town and the big supermarkets today trying to find clothes dye for part of the DIY CHALLENGE but all the wee fabric shops seem to be shut on a Sunday so I will try in the morning and hope they aren't shut for the Jubilee. 

If anyone has anymore DIY ideas I would love to hear them? I love doing things like this, I decorated my wellies for TITP one year and put studs and diamonds on them. So tacky but so cool. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?

OK so these pictures aren't the best but I just didn't want to put my face on here today (whats new) and as usual the hair is back up in a topknot where it belongs half a day was enough.

Continuing with my wardrobe challenge (3 days... doing well) I got this shirt yonks ago when I used to work for Topshop and it was always something I used to reach for as a backup but over the years its just been pushed further and further back into my wardrobe so today I dragged it out (un-ironed) and wore it with my American Apparel disco pant style leggings and a massive necklace that I found in the sale at Topshop and I am still in two minds about but I like it with this shirt. 

I had an indoor picnic with my friends Joanna and Jillian today and it was A-MA-ZING, we got fresh rolls (still hot YUM), different cheeses and salad and loads of juices, biscuits crisps oh and a massive chippy pizza. I also tried Reese's Pieces for the first time, died and went to heaven, almost as good as KitKat Peanut Butter, maybe better. 

I ordered a dress of eBay a while back and it arrived this morning, never felt so fat in my life the dress wouldn't even go over my bum and I don't exactly have a massive bum or I didn't think I did. Luckily the lovely seller has agreed to give me a refund I just have to find the time to get to a post office.

I am doing a fashion show the Glasgow based fashion store CRUISE tomorrow (woopty woop) at Gleneagles hotel so I am super excited (don't know what to wear), this means there may not be a an outfit post for a few days unless I manage to snap some shot before I leave tomorrow as I am working all day Saturday too. 

I've been wearing my hair wavy the last few days seen as it is actually long enough to get the wavers in, I am starting to much prefer it to straight so no doubt this will be my new addiction. 

I want to wear something union jacky for the weekend but don't actually think I own anything like that... hmmmm

JAIL BIRD

Pretty photo heavy blog post today but I was dancing and felt I needed to include some of my rocking moves. 

Dress- ASOS (Cheap Monday) 

Necklace- eBay

Rings- eBay

• Today is a first for my hair... Leaving the house with my hair down. I had really long hair then really short hair then really long again then stupidly cut it all off again in July last year and I find it really hard to wear it down as I absolutely hate it but today I braved my fears and had it down all the way to the shops and back... then quickly put it back up. It has grown a bit (it was cut into my neck and round my ears) but I really don't like it. It needs a cut to get some shape back in because I got an A-symmetric cut. (maybe I'll show you one day)
• Continuing my WARDROBE RENEWAL challenge. I dug this dress out of my wardrobe after thinking about clothes I haven't worn and this happens to be something I have never actually worn out the house. I do not understand why? I really like it. Its a really soft material (if not a bit see through) so its super comfy. I wore my lace edged cycling shorts (not really seen) underneath to save my dignity and save me having to wear shorts underneath which are a bit bulky for such a thin dress. Genuinely think the cycling shorts are the best investment ever!!! They allow you to wear slightly to short dresses/skirts etc without showing the bits you shouldn't show, if you know what I mean.  
• I got the necklace I am wearing off eBay for an absolute steal for like £2 (link at the top) it came from Hong Kong so I was expecting a couple of weeks delivery but it arrived after about a week, including the weekend. I have a bit of an eBay addiction right now. 
• The wardrobe renewal challenge is actually quite hard but I've seen so many things in my wardrobe that I still don't want to wear for my challenge so I have put them in a pile for selling or for the charity shop. I went over my idea for the challenge with Kirstie and we thought of a few things that I could try so fingers crossed. As I said the original idea of doing a few different things a day was a fail but I actually prefer doing it as a daily outfit thing, its much more challenging and fun. 

Bit of a long winded post today but I am in one of those moods where I just want to talk away but there is nobody here ha everyone has gone home or started their new fancy jobs "GET A PROPER JOB AMBER, GAWD" but I think if there actually was someone here I wouldn't have much to say. I think I am just in a funny mood today. 

If you follow the blog on Twitter @AMBRISSA you will see that I am on the hunt for POPTARTS and have yet to find them :-(
