My Styling Diary: Day 1; 'Me' Day!

Hi Dusty Petals Followers. For those of you who don’t know, along with being a blogger, stylist and designer I am also a primary school teacher. I know, odd combination right? I have just finished a very hectic term and am ready to begin school holidays. I thought I would use this opportunity to share a styling diary with you all for the first few days. This diary will display my outfits chosen for the specific daily outing.  So we begin with Day 1:

Today was the first Monday in a long time that I was not awoken by my ear piercing alarm.  The morning is so beautiful at 10am.  I have decided to dedicate the first day of my holidays to ME.  So the plan for the day is, eyebrow maintenance, banking (withdrawing money out of my husband's wallet), coffee & magazine date and finally some retail therapy. 

The outfit I have chosen for today is casual yet chic. I always like to dress up even when doing some basic errands. It makes whatever I do feel more important and anyway it's just jolly good fun dressing up in the morning! So here it is.
 Be sure to visit Dusty Petals tomorrow for my Tuesday look.
