Bodega Blues

Happy New Year! Well, the festive season is over and we're thrust headlong into the inevitable January blues. It's cold and wet, but not snowy... everyone is flat broke until next payday and we're being bombarded with fitness/weight loss related advertising. Sigh. So, reflectively I've decided to post up some pre-Christmas outfits instead, from a time when the glitz, glamour and pure unadulterated excitement over the coming holiday reigned. 

The OH's Birthday in December, the Outlaws decided to take him/us all out to Bodega in Birmingham (www.bodegabirmingham.co.uk) for delicious South American fayre. The German Christmas markets were on too so it was a busy mishmash of people in the city centre - lots of swankily dressed Christmas party groups, the nordic-knit set swigging Glühwein and the Saturday night club types, all thrown together. 

The outfit is very, Wednesday Adams meets Psy (of Gangnam Style fame). Kept my hair slicked away into a side parting with a neat bun at the back, to create a boyish look from the front.

Blue blazer - Primark (an absolute bargain might I add, it goes with everything, hence the Androgenius quip)
Black thin knit dress with crochet collar - H&M
Stripe boxy bag - Topshop
Leggings - JW
Boots - Carvela 
Accessories - Silver Spoon necklace, super silver glitter nails (zoom in to see) from Collection 2000 

I'd have liked a couple of teal/blue accessories, a necklace or bracelet maybe, or some cute matching courts. I can always keep looking though ;)
