OOTD: Build me up buttercup
♥ Dress (underneath blouse): Topshop *** Blouse: Topshop *** Rings: Topshop/Primark ♥
My first two pictures are pretty much identical once again. I feel a bit silly posting two pictures that are so similar, but theres only so many "hand-on-hip-tilted-head-smiley-face" poses I can do before they begin to look alike! I can't pull off moody/pouty faces (nor do I really want to..) and I am not a wannabe model so this is just "me". I guess I could start turning around to show the side of my outfit, or maybe even add in whatever handbag I happen to be wearing on that day. I wish there was some kind of blogger advice book on how to pose for outfit pictures.
This is the scalloped blouse from my "fairest of them all" post a couple of weeks ago. I think it would look much better if it was slightly baggy and not so fitted). I usually go one size up to an 18 for button-up blouses, but I got this in the largest size available (UK 16). I dream of the day when Topshop start making clothes in size 18. The skirt is actually the dress from my last outfit post! I love the soft blue color paired with the blouse, so pretty and fresh. Together they remind me of the wonderful blue skies and fields filled with buttercups during spring :)
I began the "30 day shred" recently, which I have been talking about quite a bit on twitter. Today was my sixth day, making it over day ten is the trickiest from past experience. I'm not doing it to "shred" inches/pounds but rather as a quick full body work out every morning. I want to tone up my calves which running will (hopefully) help, but I feel that the rest of me should be getting a little work out too which is where the shred comes in! I know quite a few girls have also began the shred after we talked about it on twitter, so good luck to everyone!

Just going to get started with the 30 day shred myself. Got exactly 30 days before my wedding so I´m hoping it´ll help me tone up and lose a couple (I´m looking at 3-4) kgs.
