I’ve not done a post on work
wear, but I wanted to share this bargain with you!

We Own The Night
On 10 April 2013, I signed up
for a We Own the Night (WOTN) – a 10km run for women, hosted by Nike and Elle
magazine in the East End of London.
I signed up to this run with
the gentle nudge and encouragement of my fellow fitness darlings (Rachel, Jo,
Ogechi, Nkeiruka, Nneka to name a few!). Basically this time last year…..in
fact as recently as December 2012, my position as to running/jogging was “I do
not run”. No ifs no buts, just no. The thought of running/jogging longer than a
minute filled me with dread! However part of my goals for 2013 was to increase
my cardio and fitness – this included taking up jogging. After all it was about
time that I started challenging myself……..
Summer Pieces
The South East has had a spell of lovely weather for the
past two weeks……a far cry from the snow we had in March! I’m also loving that
the days are so much brighter.
I’ve finally started updating my summer wardrobe; I’ve
been on the search for holiday-wear and work friendly clothes. I managed to get
a few pieces (all from H&M):
These tops are essentially basic tees; however H&M
have prettied them up by adding crepe material. The tops are light and can be
worn casually or under a suit jacket or with a pencil skirt for those warmer
days. I’m actually tempted to get the top in more colours!
These are the second pair of shorts that I have bought in
the past month. I’m going on a long haul holiday later on in the year and I
intend to wear shorts, vest tops and playsuits during my holiday (when I’m not
wearing swimwear). These shorts are supposed to be loose; however I bought a size down for a snugger fit. Without sounding vain, these shorts look great on me!
On my last holiday I found myself wearing the same pair of
shorts for most of the time; when they were in the wash I wore a longer pair
which were not that comfortable…..
I also bought this sleeveless blouse for my holiday. I don't usually wear a lot of white, but I really liked that this blouse is light, oversized and airy. It
would be great for the humid evenings while on holiday.
Writing this post has made me wish I booked my holiday
earlier!
Restless
Ramble Alert!!
It’s been a month since my
last post……I’ve been in semi weird place (in my mind) plus I've been busy.
I’ve been contemplating my life
recently – where I am and where I want to be (in other words over thinking!).
Since my last post, I have gotten
a year older. I’m grateful and Blessed for having another year of life, but
sometimes I think “what am I doing with it?!”
My dreams from 10 years ago
differ greatly to my current reality, in so many ways. It’s not so terrible,
but I don’t feel satisfied. I focused on certain areas of my life, such as
education and get my legal qualifications, while neglecting/sacrificing other
areas. Yeah, I got my legal qualifications but I still feel I’ve not progressed
as person…..if that makes sense.
So now the running theme in my
head is Do – what to do? What I can do? What should I do? I’ve basically been
feeling restless, but have not been doing much to resolve it.
I’m the one holding me back. I
can feel it. Even when I have an idea for a blog post and a bit of free time to
complete the post, I somehow manage to find a way to avoid doing it. Urgh – I never
used to be like this a few years back. I have been entertaining some serious
doubts in my head *sigh*

How can I live or even enjoy
life if I’m restless on the sidelines? Answers on a postcard please......in the meantime I rely on books by Dorothy Koomson for a bit of escapism!
Readers, this well and truly a
ramble post. It may not make sense to you; not sure if it even makes sense to
me. but I felt I had to do this post in order to move forward…….if you have
managed to read this far, thanks for reading! I’m sure some, if not a lot of
people feel like this from time to time. I had to de-clutter my brain a bit!
