You look lovely today

I've been feeling a little down today, so I've done a little damage to my bank account to improve my mood. As some of you lovely readers may know, I'm off to Parliament in November and I need a fancy suit in order to fit in - I found the one I want, and I headed off into York this morning to buy it.

"Raffy" Suit Jacket & "Esther" Slim-Straight Pants

This is the "Raffy/Esther" suit from Reiss - a slim, black, wool number that's sure to last me a few years, never mind until the end of my placment! I've loved it for a while, so it was a BIG sense of satisfaction to walk away with my huge bag this afternoon.

After my big serious purchase, I headed to firm favourite Sarah Coggles to do a bit of comfort hunting. I'm absolutely desperate for a varsity jacket - but I hate varsity jackets, so I'm determined to buy something that looks the part but remains fairly fashion-neutral. Abercrombie & Fitch do a cute jumper, but the thought of going in there makes me sick - I'd seen a super girly back-button jumper with a big, sequinned 'A' on the front and I decided that was the piece for me.

Lucky for me, it was in the sale!

What's even better is that the label says "You look lovely today" - INSTANT cheer up!

What did you get up to on this rainy Friday?
