Yellow Days…

January 17, 2026January 17, 2026 ~ somethinginthewayshemoves

I’m in the midst of mega bout of insomnia. I don’t love it. My brain is extra foggy and my productivity is questionable. However my ability to make many outfits from a few items of clothes remains stellar.

I like my clothes and I like having fun with them. It also makes my life easier if I just switch out a few bits rather than do a whole new outfit every day. January is cold and dark, so it needs an injection of colour. Enter bright yellow.

I wanted to wear this sheer yellow top. I also wanted to comfy and cosy. I just layered it up. I started with this stretchy maxi. For me, leopard in a neutral, so I wear it with everything

Skirt – Lindy Bop Vest – M&S Cardi – Asos

When I needed to look a bit more put together I went for this graphic swing skirt. I love this skirt because it always makes me feel nice. It has a lovely swish to it. You can’t feel bad when you’re swishing around.

Finally I combatted my insanely swollen Pcos tum with this bronze slip dress. It doesn’t put any pressure on my stomach. Comfort box ticked. I also love the clash of the metallic with the brights. Probably not for everyone, but a big yes for me.

I am a prolific outfit repeater. Clothes aren’t meant to be disposable. Doing a little mix & match is fun. It helps me get the most out of my wardrobe & saves me some spoons along the way. It’s win, win, win.

Put your boots on…

This month in continued attempts to stop buying clothes I don’t need, I have been attempting to mine gems from the darkest reaches of my wardrobe.

I have about a million dresses and some just don’t get a look in. Example A would be this dress. It the softest, cosiest easy wear and I do not know why I neglect it. It is brutally cold here, so additional layering is essential. This wee shrug/jumper thing is ideal. Also super soft and cosy. It was a Xmas gift and I love it. I can throw it on with anything for extra warm.

Dress – Monsoon Jumper – Gift Boots – Air Cloudies

The next dress really did come from the deepest depths. I’ve had this one for close to 20yrs. It’s is a magical wrap dress that somehow fits me whatever size I am. I love the vintagey print. The only annoying thing is the tie loosens and it gets a bit heavy on the cleavage. Easily solved by popping a vest on next time.

Finally we have yesterday’s outfit. We took Dad out for an early birthday lunch. I wanted to step it up a little, but still look day time. I dug around in my drawers and found this amazing sheer t shirt. The colour is so vibrant, it was just what this jumpsuit needed to causal it down a little bit. I also broke out my jazziest glasses. I adore these specs. They are actually really heavy, so not great for wearing everyday. I do love giving them an outing.

Bronan remains unfussed by my sartorial efforts. As long as I continue to pander to his every whim, he is happy.

Watching the clothes…

Would you like to see some things I have been wearing lately? Excellent because that’s exactly what this blog is about. It’s all everyday fashion. I spend a lot of time with little people and in Dr’s waiting rooms; so comfort is paramount.

That doesn’t mean I don’t want to look cool. The keys to my winter 23/24 looks are layering & my Air Cloudies. I didn’t really want these boots, but they might be the best thing I have ever bought. Waterproof, fleece lined and cushioned soles. They are actually like walking on clouds. Also, you can fling them in the washing machine. Spoonie friends, you need these.

Dress – Primark T-Shirt – Delicious Monster Tea Cardigan – Curve Soul*

On the layering front, I like wearing my summer dresses with extras. Stick some tights on, tie up a t shirt & top with a cardi. You’re ready to face the Scottish winter.

This t shirt was a Xmas gift from my sister. I felt a bit teary when I opened it because it highlights how well she knows me. If you don’t want Joni Mitchell lyrics on your chest, fear not they are custom.

I love little floppy mini skirts, but since I cannot gracefully sit or bend, they would definitely result in a lot of flashing. Hence, this skort is one of my fav pieces. All the cuteness of a wee a skirt, with shorts built in to save my blushes. Tights & fluffy cardi make this winter proof. When it comes to tights, it’s always snags. They fit, they don’t fall down & I don’t ladder them on the first wear.

Skort – Simply Be T-Shirt – Curated By Girls Cardigan – ASOS Curve Tights – Snag

I’m 100% an outfit repeater. I don’t really understand the point of not being. I buy clothes that I love and feel good in. Why wouldn’t I want to repeat that experience? Most weeks involve repeats. This one was no different. I swapped my cardigan for a jumper and was good to go again.

Jumper – Curve Soul* Boots – Air Cloudies

Finally, I have today’s look. I fell in love with this jumpsuit the minute I saw it. I adore the zip and contrast stitching. I bought two sizes and even the bigger feels a tiny bit short in the body. Definitely one to size up on. If you have a longer torso, it might not be a winner.
