A little late but I am joining in with the Two Birds Inspiration Monday on a Tuesday.
They featured Emma Roberts (related to Julia) in a glam Valentinesish dress.
I don't own any bodycon dresses, but the flower print and short length made me think of this floral 60's style-dress- it was the first item I ever bought from ASOS, 5 years ago. How do I know? Recently, they sent me an e-mail saying it has been 5 years since I first bought something from them and I know it was this! Looked ever-so slightly less smart at school as I teamed it with a red hoodie zip-up for warmth when I was in Reception. The door is open so the children can freeflow outside so it's always cold!

![IM monday 10-2-14]()
It was 6 months since CBC and I got married on Sunday! Hard to believe how quickly time has flown. YAY for us!
Yesterday was a bit nightmarish as I smugly got on the 7.46am train, proud that I was early for once and had plenty of time when I got into school. Unfortunately and dreadfully (for the victim, driver, us- most of the National Express East Anglia line), someone chose to jump under a train at 7.30am so of course everything when mad. We were turfed off our train at a major interchange- chaos as hundreds of people milled around, not knowing what to do. I was advised perhaps to try and make my way to x, a train station which was past the station ("get two or three buses there") as trains would be running from there (they weren't). Luckily, I was saved by a combination of my friend Bex's amazing organisation skills and thinking. Her boyfriend and I got back on the train to our local station (luckily running) and met her there. We walked almost home to another friend's house who was happily working in Stratford that morning and who hadn't left yet. We got in his car and he drove in along the A12. Dropped me off at a big junction about half an hour walk from school and they continued on. Finally arrived at school by 10 where the trains were still cancelled from that first station I'd been at- cannot imagine how frustrating it would have been to be STILL waiting there at 10!
The day itself was quite successful and in the evening, I headed off to orchestra and that flute solo actually went really well- didn't seem as fast somehow! Anyway, I was whooped by the orchestra at the end, so can't have been that bad!
Today, also a good day- I had one of my most dreaded classes who have this habit of, if they have a good day, continue well, but the slightest hiccup and they get worse. Bit like gremlins really. They had a decidedly Gismo day, as opposed to the nasty green things!
How was your day?xx
