THE AWKWARD GIRL'S GUIDE TO LIFE
I’ll get to the Friday 5 part of this post in a minute, but first… New green dress! Which is absolutely NOT the same as the LAST green dress I got from Boden, so don’t even think it. And, I mean, it’s a similar green dress, sure… but the second I …
Well, folks, I’ve well and truly fallen off the “I’m only buying practical clothes from now on” wagon. Big time. I mean, this dress isn’t even remotely practical, is it? No matter how I try to justify it by telling you that I promise to wear it aaaalll the time, it’s …
As I’ve mentioned probably a few too many times now, I spent most of my recent holiday dressed pretty casually by my standards. This was a bit of a departure for me, really, because I normally view vacations primarily as an excuse to dress up to the nines. Well, when ELSE …
Remember when I said I wasn’t going to buy a new dress for Christmas day… … but then I made the fatal mistake of visiting the Lindybop website, where I ended up buying one anyway? Yeah, the same thing happened with New Year’s Eve. I think at this point I’m just going …

Happy Christmas Eve, everyone! This outfit is the last of my 12 Days of Christmas Outfits series (I guess the ‘Day 12’ in the title kinda gave it away, huh?), and it’s also what I’ll be wearing tomorrow. I always like to wear something “special” on Christmas Day, but this year …
What? You didn’t think I’d do a full 12 days of Christmas-inspired outfits without including this skirt, did you? I mean, AS IF. This outfit is actually a little more festive than it probably looks in the photo: as well as the skirt itself, which is silk, and has a lovely …
I’ve already shown you a polka dot swing dress as part of my 12 Days of Christmas Outfits series, but I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t also show you a polka dot wiggle dress, would I? Er, from this you’ve probably gathered that I’m interpreting “Christmas outfits” very loosely here: …
I’ll be honest: I was starting to worry that I wouldn’t actually make it to the end of this ’12 Days of Christmas Outfits’ thing. As predicted, while I do have a lot of clothes, this year in particular I’ve been on a mission to stock up on good quality basics, …

We’re halfway there, folks! (Did anyone else just mentally add the words, “We’re livin’ on a prayer!” to that statement, or is that just me?) Just six more bardot tops, I mean Christmas outfits, to go, and it’ll be Christmas Eve. I’m actually a little bit disappointed, because I’ve been …
Another day, another bardot-style dress/top. I wish I could tell you this would be the last you’d see of this style (in this series at least), but alas, I have ANOTHER bardot top planned for tomorrow: and, knowing me, THAT probably won’t be the last one, either. What can I say, …
Are stripes festive, I wonder? “They are if you want them to be,” is the answer to that question, and I think you all know by now that I DO want them to be, so for Day 4 of my 12 Days of Christmas Outfits, I’m wearing one of my favourite …
So, it feels a bit weird to have published a post about that one time my husband had a kidney transplant, and to follow it up with one saying, “Look, here’s a dress!” But look! Here’s a dress! And also a jacket, because there has been no effort spared on this …

This is my one and only Christmas jumper. It’s not that I don’t like Christmas jumpers, obviously. I mean, who doesn’t like a hilarious piece of themed knitwear, right? Er… OK, I’ll be honest: it IS that I don’t like Christmas jumpers. Or not the ones with flashing lights, and giant pictures …
So, there’s 12 days left until Christmas Eve. Don’t worry, I haven’t suddenly turned into a Christmas Person: I was just counting it up so I could work out how worried I should be about not having finished my Christmas shopping yet. As it turns out, “quite worried” is the answer …
I love a tulle skirt. No, more than that. As in, however much you’re thinking it’s possible for someone to love a skirt, my feelings for tulle are even stronger. And if that’s wrong, I just don’t want to be right. They’re not the most practical items of clothing in the …
