Day 1669 a wee shopping trip and long dog walk

I woke at 4.30am but must have gone back to sleep as didn’t wake until 8.30am! That doesn’t happen often. I had a great sleep though.

I decided to head up to Braehead Shopping Centre first thing.

I’m looking for wide leg jeans for a change. I feel I have nothing different to wear and keep picking the same grey tartan joggies every time I go out… I needed a change.

I started off in Marks & Spencer.

This is ā€œmodel’s own clothesā€ šŸ˜† to start off with. I love these M&S combats I bought a few months back… I’d like them in other colours but they slate grey is sold out and there’s only a beige which isn’t really me. I got the little khaki jacket at the market in Verona. I’m really pleased with it.

I loved these jeans…. So different for me. I’ve worn skinny jeans most of my adult life. That’s a whole lotta years.

They just felt really comfy so I did buy them.

I liked these but there was a lot of material around the stomach. They are comfy joggy material.

These were too narrow and too short. they are denim look joggers.

The jumper was nice but too pricey…. This was a size 10… they are obviously very big make. I did t realise that M&S are now selling White Stuff so this was Ā£65.

This was pretty and matched my phone but not really my thing anymore.

So then on to Primark….

I really randomly bought this skirt. I am not a skirt person anymore. This was sitting at the entrance to the store, on its own. It’s a size 16 so a size bigger than I would go for, but I thought I’d chance it as the colour is identical to the stripe in my trainers. I couldn’t find it anywhere else in the shop.

It is soooooo not me, but I loved it. I think I’ll wear this to Thanksgiving dinner in Rome with a black top.

Then I tried the comfiest trousers in the world….

These are like a soft fleece material. I love them!! I got them too.

I do not suit the new barrel shaped jeans.

So I didn’t get either of these.

I had a lovely wee trip. Also got a cropped dark grey cardy in the New Look sale… half price.

A very successful wee morning out.

I came home and walked the dogs… it’s been smirry rain all weekend. I have to take my glasses off as we walk or I wouldn’t see a thing.

The dogs are filthy after just a long lead walk… the roads are really dirty with all the rain. They look in every field on the way past, as if to say, can we go in there for a run?!? Not likely in that mud!!

It got me out for some exercise and it had the desired effect on the dogs.

So I’ve had a really lovely weekend. I’ve done nothing but I’ve allowed myself to rest and managed a wee shopping trip.

This from Sweatpants and Coffee… a great wee follow.

Stay safe everyone ā™„ļøā™„ļøā™„ļø

  1. No one suits barrel leg jeans, in my opinion, even the supermodels in pictures of them online!
    I’m after a gold coloured skirt in a similar style to the one you just bought, to wear with a black top to Xmas parties, I’ll check out Primark Xx

    1. My friend Gayle looks fantastic in her barrel jeans, she’s just the right shape. I wanted them so badly but they are not me! I think the skirt was Ā£14 but o never saw which section it was in. It was just meant to be… šŸ˜† hope you’re ok. How is mum and the teds? Xx

      1. Teds are fine. Little dog was the favourite today. I’m a bit worried about my Mum though. She was cheerful and chatty but keeps saying it’s too painful to walk although her X-rays were all clear. They also told me when I was leaving she’s recently had some trouble swallowing whereas up until last week she was eating well. She told me she missed going shopping but agreed with me it would be too challenging for us to go (and it really would). I showed her some pictures of trousers on my phone instead and have bought us matching ones from Matalan! You’re never too old for new clothes.. X

      2. Awww I love that you got matching trousers. Craig and I did some online shopping on Saturday morning and I really enjoyed it. It was shopping without the hassle. I hope she picks up a bit this week. Bless her. Xx
