necklace: H&M
FINALLY MADE IT HOME! If you follow me on Twitter, you would have see my epic ammount of tweets on my journey home! Its snowed a ridiculous ammout today, Much more than was actually anitpated in my area and It took me nearly 4 hours to get home from work. Hereford was literally gridlocked. Every car was bumper to bumper and it took me 30 minutes to get out of the carpark! To then a hour and half later (8 miles!), get to the main hill I drive over to get home to be closed because of a couple of jack knifed lorries. I then had to drive back to Hereford and get the train. Luckily the trains were still running and I managed to jump on one! It means I have to go back and get my car tomorrow, but it doesn't really matter to be honest. Id rather be home and safe, than sleeping in my car in the snow! Anyway Im home now and getting toasty warm by my heater!
This is what I wore to work today, Well for the short time I was actually there as I was sent home early! I did actually wear another cardigan over it for some extra warmth as its always so cold in store! My floor (basement) is freezing but then if you go up to ground or first floor, its ALWAYS ridiculously warm! Im wearing the cardigan I bought in my recent "haul" video. I actually love it, its such a think cable knit, so warm and look quite expensive (in my opinion!) Its quite an unusualy colour too, Its not brown but its not orange either. I wouldn't even describe it as rust either as its like a weird warm but dark-ish orangey brown-ish sort of colour! Its great though! The AX Paris dress is actually part of my uniform I have at work, It used to be a dress but its shrunk a bit because my Mums the worst when it comes to putting my stuff on too hot! I just wear a little bodycon skirt under it to give it a bit of extra length!
These photos are a bit crappy in my opinion, I am experimenting shooting my photos in RAW. If you have no idea what it is, I suggest googling. Remember kids, Google is your friend! But basically its a photo format, which I think looks a 1000000 times better. But I've still not really got used to the editing process, I think they look a bit "soft focus". But hey I'll learn how to do it better one day! No video version either unfortunately, My camera was out of battery! But I will do one in the week just for those who dont read my blog and just like the moving image!
I seen your Tweets! You poor thing, glad you got home safely!! Loving todays outfit too!!

Glad to hear you got home safely. It took me ages to get to my parents house as well, and then I've got to go all the way back home on Thursday (weather permitting). Lovely dress x
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit and I love your hair!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got home safely!

ReplyDeleteLove the cardi =)

Being stuck in traffic must have been so boring and terrible! At least you're home though. I really love your chunky sweater. It looks like the perfect topping to any outfit. And no worries, the photos look wonderful as always!

I really love the color of that cardigan, it's exactly what I've been looking for in all the stores here! Sadly we don't have New Look here, but I'll keep on truckin' til I find something similar. Anyway I really like it with that black dress, it makes the whole look very warm and cozy. Glad you made it home safe, as well!
ReplyDeleteThat cardigan is lovely, what a great rich colour!
ReplyDeleteThat journey sounds horrific, but at least you're safe and warm now! x
At least you got home safe! That sounds crazy! I wish we had some snow here, it's been like -8 here all day.
ReplyDeleteI love the colour of the cardigan and how you paired it with the dress! Great colour combinations!
So glad you got home safely, driving in the snow is horrible! I didn't actually leave today because it's far too foggy and the roads are snowy/icy!
ReplyDeleteLove the cardigan. I think it's quite a good price for a cable knit cardigan (I bought the £48 Topshop one!) but it is a little expensive compared to New Looks other prices!
My camera shoots RAW and jpg but I usually stick to jpg. Might have to look into RAW, your photos look better than usual, I think!

Love this cardigan!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a horrible day! Mine wasn't great either, if that makes you feel better. I love the cardigan, the buttons are divine! I may have to have a look for that one but my local store is crap so they probably don't even have concessions! I really like those two colours together (or is it not really teal and it just looks it?). I know how you feel regarding cold workplaces, mine is absolutely FREEZING! Customers always say it's colder inside the shop than outside on the street! :(
ReplyDeletelove that outfit!

ReplyDeleteugh i feel your pain - i was stuck for 9 hours on friday attempting to drive my 30 miles home! it was horrible!
ReplyDeletelove your cardigan <3
ReplyDeleteWeather is a bitch! We were hoping to avoid going out at all today, but my boyfriends mum slipped and fractured her elbow so we had to pick her up and take her to a & e, was crapping myself the whole way!
ReplyDeleteAnd before I forget, LOVE that cardigan!

SO glad you got home okay lovely! That outfit is so cute. Do you tend to have a uniform for New Look? I also work there but find it hard to keep up with the latest products as the turnover is quite quick and I don't always have the money!
ReplyDeletexoxo
ah bless your epic journey home. love the cardi x
ReplyDeleteEspecially love this outfit, that cardi is lush! xx
ReplyDeletethat's such a nice cardigan, i wouldn't suspect new look either. and thank god you made it back, it's like a death trap out there!
ReplyDeletekirsty xx
I read those tweets! Can't believe you were stuck in your car for that long. What a waste of petrol.
ReplyDeleteThe "softer focus" thing isn't too evident in the photo,but your skin does have a great glow here.
I love that cardigan!

Ahhhh I love the colour of your cardigan! I've been looking for this colour for agesss but no luck yet :( the colour baffles me... not quite sure what to call it but lots of shops seem to categorise it as "rust". New Look you say? May have to take a sneaky peek in there tomorrow :) x x

ReplyDeleteyou have the best cardigan collection, im jealous. I really just want lots of cable knit stuff right now and this ones spot on.

Looking good Lily! I want your cardi - you're right about it looking expensive. I'm now off to raid New Look Marble Arch, wish me luck?! Sally x

God I love that cardigan! It reminds me of that Primark one (I have it too) but a nicer, shaggier version. The buttons are awesome too.
ReplyDeleteYou haven't adventured until you've had to walk home in the snow from somewhere! I had to do it last night too. Props to us!
You look fantastic! That cardi is to die for and your hair looks great! I just wanted to say that I read through your blog, and you inspired me to get back into shape and rediscover my love for fashion, so thanks! :)
