OOTD: Pyjama Pants To Work - What?!

Hey heyyyyyyy!
What I wore to work today, pretty slouchy and comfortable with some sportswear cool (I like to think haha!)

Jumper -  Topshop    Scarf - Vintage    Jacket - Levis Vintage    Pyjama Pants - River Island

Socks - Primark     Trainers - Nike JD Sports

In other news I am desperately trying trying to grow out my hair, hence why it looks so crazy, kind of like when Hannah from GIRLS goes crazy and cuts all her hair off, haha.

I want less this:

And more this:

But I fear I have a little while till my hair looks THAT good. By Summer though - finger crossed!

Hope everyone is well in the land of blogging :)

A/W 2012 Lustlist

September is truly upon us now and it's about time I took my head out of the last summer clouds and resign myself to the fact that I can't be wearing denim cutoffs unless I'm wearing some wooly tights too- boohoo! To cheer myself up I have decided to compile a little wishlist of some goodies I wouldn't mind wearing this Autumn/Winter.

1. Ebay- £11.99

Love this pleather skirt too much and it's a steal! OK, OK... I might have already caved and brought this beauty but it was too much to resist and the little studs were just screaming 'BUY ME!"

2. Tatty Divine- £89
Tatty Divine always have masses of pieces I want every season but this Autumn I'm lusting over this Leopard Necklace, but at £89.00 it's a definite stay on the wishlist but I love it none-the-less.

3. Gloves- Topshop- £10    Chain Link Snood- Accessorize- £22    Pom Pom Beanie- ASOS with Piers Atkinsons- £13.50
Everything else on my list is a bit dark so I thought I'd brighten things up with some lush knitwear in some colours to remind us that summer does come back one day... They don't match but I don't care!

4. River Island- £30
I think these shoes might be a marmite situation with people, but I really like them. A great transition from summer boat shoes to winter fur lined boat booties! Not sure if I like them in brown or silver best...

5. Topshop & J.W. Anderson- £69.99

Finally I couldn't leave putting on something from the Topshop and J.W. Anderson collaboration and this jumper jumped (harhar terrible pun!) out at me when I first saw the collection. Perfect for Halloween (or any other time for that matter).

Now I've finished this list I'm actually pretty excited about the cold (weirdo) and the layering of woollens and hats and scarves and gloves! So I guess my list did the trick of making me excited for winter (along with the prospect of Christmas!).

Goodbye short shorts and tiny croptops- see you in the Spring!

P.S. I really like this aztec shawl from Matalan, is it wrong? I don't know!? It is only a tenner...

Dressing Dilemma!

Guys, I need your help! Seriously!

You see, I went into town yesterday to get my misbehaving eyebrows tamed and on the way home I happened to pop into River Island. Now don't worry I only checked out the sale items and didn't spend much at all (£30) and both items are amazing.

I got these trousers which I absolutely adore already the only problem is I don't know what to pair them with. The only thing I can think to wear with it is a strappy top, which isn't all that exciting...
So I need a bit of advice of what else I could wear with them.

I love this print so much!!!

I also got this beaut of a dress (which I have seen a few other bloggers rave about and I can see why!):

I think I'll have to be careful though cos if I have to bend over in it as I might flash my bum! I think I must because have an usually long body or something since it definitely isn't my legs haha!

What do you think? Have you guys got any advice on what I can pair with my new fabulous trousers?
