Wearing: Primark blouse, Topshop jeans, Mango blazer via car boot sale, Zara leather sandals, Matalan bag, Mango ring
On: Friday 7th January
For: More snow. Yes, I wore open toes in the snow. So sue me.
Zara’s January sale was the only one I was really bothered about. I adore Zara clothing – the designs are a perfect mix of Urban Outfitters cool and Gap casual. My wardrobe is steadily becoming a shrine to their sweet tea dresses and chunky knit cardigans.
When I nipped in I had the Mr in tow, so was very single minded. I picked up a black leather belt, the spotty dress seen here (the cardigan is also Zara, but sadly belongs to my sister) and made my way to the till, looking dead ahead and ignoring the rails either side of me. The queue was long and winding so as I waited patiently I allowed my eyes to roam, just a little, to the table of shoes next to me. And there they were, sitting in all their leather glory, my size, and only £14.99. A sign, I think you’ll agree? I snatched them up straightaway.
Mornings have been grim up north since work started again. Exceptionally dark, wet and dreary, they don’t allow for outdoor photography so I’ve resorted to my living room and some fairy lights. Hurry up spring!
Really lovely outfit, those shoes are gorgeous. I am so gutted we don’t have a zara here for me to browse around!

Excellent shoe score and I absolutely love your blouse. I know, winter really effects picture taking!
I’ve still not been sale shopping yet! Im hoping to go tomorrow!
I love your outfits, they always look so classy yet so comfy at the same time! xo
Love the Primark blouse, I really want some more pussybow ones, to wear a brooch over the bow to hold it in place. 🙂
check out my blog to see what I mean? hehe I’m so subtle.

Cool outfit. I wish I could wear heels!!! I like the idea of pictures inside with use of fairy lights and standing lamp – I may try it! At present I have to resort to recreating outfits over the weekend to take.
They’re lovely and too good not to wear just because of the pesky snow. Anyhow couldn’t rob throw down his coat in an act of chivalry if it gets too slushy 😉

Brilliant outfit, might be my favourite ever?! You look uber cool missus x
I absolutely love this Jen! Especially the shoes – and I love the fact that you are wearing them with socks, I’d never think about doing that but it looks really cool. I’m really liking your indoor shots too.
Also, totally random, off-topic question, but where did you get your sofa/chair from? It is just what I’m looking for!
I love your blouse
and those shoes…it’d have been rude not to buy them!
I have that blouse, I love the way you have styled it! What a bargain those shoes are!

I’m pretty impressed with Zara this season as well. THey have some really good stuff.
I absolutely love your outfit, Jen. It’s so well put together. The blouse is so pretty.
i like your jacket. i’ve been looking for one like that for ages.
Fabulous shoes but they need toes on show! Tough it out!
I am still umming and ahhing over a skirt from Zara. Most of my bargains came from Office – flat shoes for the year sorted!
Love the Primark blouse, seen so many people wearing it yet I still want it!!! Down south the gloom factor isn’t much better.

Love those shoes! They’ll be perfect in spring 🙂 And you hit 1000 followers I noticed 😀 Wooop! xxx
Good god, that blouse is GORGEOUS! Is it new? If so, I must track it down immediately.
Wow, the blazer is just so amazing!
I know what you mean about the light 🙁 Fed up of this dreary weather!
Definitely a sign. The Gods of Fashion were smiling upon you.
Your blouse is so sweet! I never seem to be able to find nice things like that in Primark, but that is genuinely lovely.
I love this perfectly tailored, dressed up denim look. And you brave soul–I hope your toes survived!
Definitely a sign – the shoes were obviously destined to be yours!
I LOVE that Primark blouse – as I scrolled down past the pics I was fully expecting to see a much more expensive shop name as its source – Primark’s done us proud, yet again!

Cute outfit!
Everything about this outfit is so right!! 🙂
I really like this whole outfit, it all goes together really well!
I have never been that into Zara, it’s a shop I never make an effort to go in, as i don’t seem to find much. That said, I saw a dress on a blog recently I do wish to track down, so I will make an effort to visit one soon.
I have that blouse, always gets comments when I wear it.
Love the sandals with socks going on, I never really go in Zara, the shop sometimes has the ability to make me feel rather large (I’m a size 12/14)

You look lovely, Jen! Particularly enamoured with those lovely shoes. Great bargain. xxx
The blouse and blazer both look wonderful, and those Zara sandals are by far a bargain find x
jen you look simply fabulous!! the weather here sucks too i can only take outfits on the weekend when im free during the day and even then i have to hope it doesnt rain which in ireland is likely 99% of the time! 🙂 xo
you always look so happy in your photos, it’s refreshing!
I love the way you’ve written this. Sometimes fashion blogs that are on the writers outfits can be a little boring, but your descriptions are so articulate and give more dimensions to the clothes. Love it 🙂

Nice outfit! Spring feels so far away. But we’re past the winter equinox, so it will start getting lighter in the mornings. It will! I just know it.
i still adore that blouse! i may have to scourer my local primark tomorrow to find one! xx
I love Zara too, fave shop at the moment. I adore that blouse with the horse shoe print! Can’t believe it’s primark.
Those shoes are such a bargain! Gorgeous outfit Jen!
You are so cute! Love your style.
