Limited Collection new season

Hey dolls, hope you are having a lovely week, I can't believe how quickly it has gone, and that its Thursday already tomorrow! I am really enjoying being busy and getting stuck into work again, as much as I enjoy the summer holidays, I do miss my classes and my job (sad I know!) I have so much on this year so I have had to be even more organised than usual, with timetables for all kinds of things, colour coding and labelling of everything to within an inch of its life! Those of you who read my blog regularly know that I am a naturally organised person, so I really enjoy this aspect of my job, and the satisfaction of ticking everything off of my to-do list! I do sometimes wonder how my pupils feel about the OCD part of my personality, as I explain to them in their first lesson at the start of every year how they should fold sheets to be stuck into their book... (my way or the highway!)


Today's post is kind of school related, but linked to my other favourite topic (fashion of course!) too. As I blogged about here, I have been updating my work wardrobe recently, purchasing new dresses, cardigans and shoes. My new shoes were from Marks and Spencer, and while I was there, I had a good look at one of their ranges 'Limited Collection' that I had read quite a lot about in recent weeks. Limited Collection is a younger, edgier range from M & S, and I have to say, I was quite impressed with lots of their pieces. The style and designs are bang on for the new season, and the prices extremely good. As I was with hubby (who was waiting patiently for me to pick shoes so we could go and eat), I did not try anything on, however I plan to go back soon and add a few more items to my work wardrobe.

Button back ruffle swing top £25

Feather print drape pocket skirt £29.50

Sparkle button cardigan with mohair - £35.00

I love this piece - abstract print dress £37.50

Just a few of my favourite pieces, sorry for how tiny they are, stupid M & S website would only allow me to take small copies, and they go all blurry if I make them any larger (there is probably a way around this but I am not enough of a techno-whiz to work it out!)

Let me know what you think, until next time : ) xoxo

Supermarket Sweep

Hello dolls, hope you are all having a relaxing Sunday! The weather has been a lot greyer here in the UK today, however this is a fact that please me! I have decided now it's September, summer is officially over. I am not massively sad about this as I love Autumn and Winter, and am looking forward to the cosy nights in, comforting food and of course, Christmas!

Over the past couple of days I have turned my attention to my work wardrobe. A new school year and a new season requires a whole new working wardrobe in my opinion! I quite enjoy shopping for work clothes (although not as much as clothes for my weekend wardrobe), although I refuse to spend a fortune on this type of clothing. I am not sure why, as of course, I spend the majority of time at work. I have always been happy to spend as I see fit on my weekend wardrobe, but never much more than £20 on a dress for work. Luckily for me, the supermarkets now have extremely comprehensive and very good value ranges, so I can pretty much pick up everything I need while completing the weekly shop!

I have recently purchased 3 dresses from Tesco, one full price at £16 and two in the sale at £7 and £8 each. Yesterday my best friend Clare and I went for a browse in Asda Living and both purchased some more dresses for work. This time both full price at £16 and £10 respectively. I tend to gravitate towards dresses for work as I find them easy to just throw on in the morning, with a pair of tights, heels or pumps and a statement necklace or bracelet. On chilly days a cardi or blazer work a treat as well, layered over the top. 

Black ponte formal dress £10 Asda

Mono print dress £16 Asda

F & F jersey wrap dress £16 (mine is a different style, navy blue with a print)

Just a selection of the dresses I have bought, I couldn't get pictures of the other two. Now I have new stationery for work and new clothes, I just need to stock up on tights and buy a new pair of winter heels (M & S most likely, I will only wear leather to work as I am on my feet all day and need to be comfortable!)

Well that's all for today, I am making the most of the last bit of weekend by catching up on some reading in between making my to-do list for the week, and a chilli con carne for dinner! : ) xoxo
