Weekend Workwear: Curly Sue

Curly Hair Don't Care

So any of you who follow me on Twitter will know that disaster struck a few weeks ago and my Beloved GHD hair straighteners began to fail on me, occasionally shorting out and turning off.  It would have to happen now I don't have a flexible regular income wouldn't it?  I have had them for over five years though and have used them a LOT so I don't suppose I can complain.  They do still work but I have to be patient with them (not one of my stronger traits) and sooner rather than later they will break for good, so I am trying to avoid using them wherever possible.  Expect to see a lot of 'hair up' posts around here for a while!  When I get my student loan disbursement in January I will see what I have spare and maybe purchase a new pair.  I can't see any point in buying cheaper ones as they don't last and don't do as good a job - I worked out prior to having my GHD's in the same time period I had 4 pairs which in total cost way more.

I digress.  This week I worked at Concept's Tynemouth clinic which is a totally different style to Gosforth.  Custom wallpaper is replaced with Hession and Parquet with Distressed Railway sleepers, so naturally my style changes too.  My outfit is entirely from Primark (apart from the shoes & belt) and thus I can't link to it (when oh when will you begin selling online?)

Although my hair naturally has a lot of curl to it, its a horrible frizzy curl, so I use a curling wand to achieve the look above.  It's not perfect, but practice makes perfect and maybe one day I will be happy with my efforts (and have it take less than an hour to do).

Both this jumpsuit and cardigan were both impulse purchases ages ago.  Primark is VERY hit and miss and if I'm honest a bit of a jumble sale at times!  Normally for this reason I don't buy actual outfits in Primark, except when I'm going on holiday.  They often do great sun dresses in the summer, but the quality is so bad they usually get binned before I return home haha.  I also buy vest tops from Primark, as they are only £1.50-£2.00 each and generally wash really well.


Getting there slowly
