My random act of kindness today was that in the supermarket, a place that was busy and where people often get distracted from the little things we should act on and appreciate, and as we wheeled our trolley out we came past two elderly ladies with bright yellow buckets and happy smiles, collecting money for charity. As we were too enwrapped in our own world, we rushed on past, eager to unload the bags into the car. However, I found myself feeling a little guilty as I got into the car, my mind focused on how they were standing and braving the cold for such a good cause and so many people ignored them. In the spur of the moment, I grabbed a handful of pounds from the change slot and sprinted back across the car park to drop them into the buckets. The old ladies' smiles were enough for me to feel happy. I wished them a merry Christmas before getting back into my car and eventually driving back home.
Although (sadly) snow hasn't come to the UK as of yet, the cold and crisp weather is certainly approaching. Gusts of wind lifted my coat and I could breathe frosty smoke; the cars were dashed with ice and the fires roaring in every house. Many of the public were disguised by swathing scarves and woolly hats pulled down past their ears and I felt envy in my terribly underdressed ensemble. My teeth were practically chattering just in the freezer food aisle of Morrisons!At home, I changed into something more warm and cosy, a long-loved outfit of mine that usually makes several appearances this time of year.
Grey turtle neck - Zara
Woolly cardigan / coat - Zara (purchased two years ago though, so I doubt it is on sale anymore!)
I also wore some dark denim jeans which I have been loving, from Abercrombie & Fitch. I paired these jeans with some good old black Chelsea boots, which can be bought at probably any shoe shop.
I am definitely loving Zara this year. I find that their products are of the best quality and it's not overly expensive, and even if it was a bit pricey, they often have sales or discounts. I don't post my outfits at all often as I'm not some sort of trendsetter and I don't feel like it's really my element, but occasionally I'll share some of my ensembles.
Anyway, I want to say I am going to IKEA tomorrow so I will probably be posting a photo-filled blogpost tomorrow! I never go to IKEA as it's a fairly long drive, so this is sort of a treat for me and I'm seriously looking forward to it.
Do you love IKEA?
