Motel Daisy jumper review

It arrived!

To be honest I was shocked when I answered the door to the postman this morning in my lion pyjamas and he handed me a bundle of packages.

Seeing as I only ordered this jumper on Wednesday, I am literally over the moon with how fast the delivery was!

Anyway, onto the jumper.

It is literally the softest thing I have ever felt. As soon as I took it out of the packaging, all I wanted to do was bury my face in there and I immediately threw off said lion pyjamas and threw on the jumper.

It fits just like a dream, although I'm glad I went for the medium rather than the small as I feel it would have been too short (even for a cropped jumper.) The neck, although it is a high turtleneck style isn't too tight and makes me feel like I'm having a soft furry cuddle. The quality of this jumper is superb as to be expected from Motel.

I'm so so over the moon with it and I know I will be able to carry this right through even until after my pregnancy. Bravo Motel, bravo.

This is what I styled it with:

Mysterious beanie that appeared in my house//Motel Daisy Jumper//Zara sheer maxi skirt//Grey Plaid shirt (stolen from Will at work - I will give it back one day!)

I also received a gorgeous faux fur stole which I purchased from ebay what feels like a million years ago, which unfortunately, didn't survive the school run today and must have been unknowingly ripped from my shoulders as I collected R-dogg.

Anyone who's ever stepped foot in a primary school at collection time knows just how much of a circus it is, so even though I am absolutely gutted it's gone, I'm not totally surprised either.

Speaking of ebay, I am selling a few bits and bobs that either don't fit anymore or I just can't wear now that I am expanding at the speed of light.

If you're interested, go and have a gander HERE, and maybe pick up a bargain!

Peace and love

Monday wishlist

To help combat that "Monday feeling"  I've made a list of things I'm lusting after this week:

1.Faux leather asymmetric t-shirt - Romwe - £28.70

2. Dreamy Ring - Cheap Monday - £5

3.Polley shoe - Dr Martens - £90

4. Flared Dress - Zara - £22.99

5.PVC Skater midi skirt - Missguided - £19.99

6. Minnie Dress - Monki - £35

7. PVC and fur backpack - MotelRocks - £40

I've become slightly obsessed with PVC and faux fur/leather recently. I think it's because pre-pregnancy I would have avoided them for fear of accidentally showing off lumps and bumps whereas now that's exactly what I do what to show off! Also, they're kind of tacky and I LOVE IT. I've seen some people style the PVC midi skirt really well over the last couple of weeks and that's also made me want one of my own. I think it will be next payday/Thursday's purchase :) The two dresses I have picked are just divine! The first has all the simple elegance I've come to expect from Zara and I think it would see me through till summer as it is perfect for layering over my mesh top, a turtle neck or a plain white t-shirt while its cold and then when the warmer weather hits, it can fly solo with some chunky platform sandals and cute socks. The Minnie dress from Monki also reminds me of this great crochet dress I had from American Apparel last year which I wore to death during the summer except it has a handy slip underneath! I love the sportswear feel it has and everyone needs a t-shirt dress in their wardrobe. Simple, fast and easy!

So I was also meant to have my 20 week scan today at the hospital. For those of you who are completely baby un-aware, as I was, the 20 week scan is when you find out if you're having a boy or a girl.

So me and JS trotted up to the hospital on his lunch break to go get scanned and see our little bean again just to find out that due to my horrific pregnancy brain (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it) I had got the dates wrong and we were originally booked in to go on the 9th. Thus resulting in tears and me apologising profusely to JS and being mad at myself ect ect.

There is a happy ending however!  The amazing nurse managed to re-book me to go get my scan on Wednesday, so we only have to wait two more days. Which, will give me two more days to try and convince JS to let us find out who exactly is in there.

20 week update:

My tummy measures: 92.5 cm / 36.5"

My waist is: 83 cm / 32.5"

Craving chocolate and trying not to give in. Heartburn has been a devil this week. Only a few headaches. Back to work tomorrow!
