Shame on me for the blues, another one returned that I'll never use.

It’s rare that it gets to Friday and I haven’t got a dress in mind for this post. It’s normally something I’ve worn the week before, or a work outfit for the week. This week, though, I was stumped. Despite being someone with a much larger than average wardrobe, I’ve had one of those weeks where outfit inspiration has been seriously lacking and I’ve felt like I’ve had no clothes. So I’ve resorted to old faithfuls this week – mostly skirts, actually, but this is Friday Frocks, and NO SKIRTS ALLOWED.

Although this feeling is probably due to having a dribbly brain during the first week back – oh my gosh, I’m so tired – it does make me think that maybe it’s time to give my wardrobe a bit of an overhaul – get rid of some things and replace them. The trouble with this is that I will remove items and bag them up, but never actually get round to giving them away or selling them, and I really should. I need about a week to get through my ebaying backlog. I keep thinking about hiring an ebaying monkey.

Still, this little number stepped in at the last minute and I wore it to Casual Friday at work today. As I don’t wear jeans, I have interpreted ‘Casual’ to mean ‘shorter skirts’. This is one of those dresses I go through phases with – I’ll completely love it for a few months, then I’ll totally forget I own it. Which is a shame, as it’s a cute, versatile little number. Plus, I love purple, especially teamed with grey. I had a lovely charcoal grey cardigan that went perfectly with this ensemble, but it disappeared on my last trip. Infuriating! Still, there’s a similar one in Debenhams that I’m going to buy when payday rolls around, I think. And it really can't roll around soon enough.

Dress: ASOS

Cardigan: New Look

Belt & Tights: Primark

Boots: Bank

Necklace: Bijou Bijoux

This blue cardigan is stepping in as my grey replacement at the mo - it's okay, but I'm not a fan of round necks. They never sit right. Oh, and curly hair again - I am trying to give my hair a break from the straighteners. Probably a good thing, as it's so desperate for a cut right now, the ends really need a rest from heat!

I'm off out now - what are you up to this weekend, anything fun? Or, like me, have you just been holding out for that glorious lie-in tomorrow?
