Maddening Shroud

Dress: Joe Browns*, Shoes: USC

Oh, more dresses. After going to the Joe Browns event last week, I was given a very generous gift voucher which I couldn’t wait to spend! I bought two dresses and a pair of leggings which arrived yesterday. This is the “Most Wearable” Dress* which lives up to its name. Its soft, generously cut (I think I could have gone a size lower and still be comfortable) and I can see myself wearing this too much over the winter! The boots are also a new arrival – I’d been looking for the right pair of heeled ankle boots, and after seeing Tabitha’s post about these ankle boots, I couldn’t click buy fast enough!

So after the event last Friday, I stayed at Becs’ house. We’d been chatting on Twitter for maybe 3 or so years but had never met, so I was so excited to finally meet her at the first event she organised for her company. On Saturday, we baked a cake for the Clandestine Cake Club which was at her house – you can see more about the different delicious cakes here. I could only manage a slice of the Battenburg, my favourite, but took a few slices for on the way home!

On Thursday, there was a big work gathering at Zerodegrees (which I’ve blogged about before a long time ago!) – I realised that the last time I’d really socialised with work people at any of my jobs was over 2 years ago, so its quite nice to be somewhere where people want to go out more. Yay. Also there was booze. And booze at Zerodegrees is GOOD. I wore this outfit last night, the Wife and Lord came over, and we headed to Wagamamas before coming back for a LOT of Rock Band and some Wii Party.

This week is my first of three three-day-weeks at work – some good holiday scheduling means lots of long weekends! Score! Gotta love long weekends, how are you spending yours?
