I went to see The Manfreds on Thursday, or Manfred Mann as you might know them, or you might not know them at all! The gig was really fantastic, I mean, these guys are in their 70s and their vocals were amazing. Granted, Michael and I were the youngest people in the room by a very long stretch and it wasn’t the most rowdy gig I’ve ever been to, but it was so brilliant!
I went for a bit of a mod look, I don’t know if it was intentional, but I’ve been trying to find a way to wear this cute jumper I got from Collectif for months now. It’s too short for me to wear with trousers, so I had to wear it with a skirt, and although it would normally be worn with a pencil, I think it looks really cute with the mini skirt!
The top is the Freddie knitted top, I’m wearing the size 22 which is snug, but not ridiculously so, you can’t really see the details but it has a sweet collar and button neck detail and the fine knit is perforated. It reminds me of the jumpers my nanna used to wear! The skirt is a Simply Be one that I blogged here.
As you can see, my hair is really growing out now and is an interesting shade of pink as the red keeps washing out, my hair just can’t seem to hold it! I’m not sure if I’m going to have the patience to keep growing my hair but I really want to try and get to a chin length bob!
Michael and I got to spend some quality time together which is a rarity and we took my dad who had a fantastic time!

Hi Becky,
When you click your twitter icon it takes you to a random twitter account! k_squirrel_s@mrsbebe & appears to be russian(?!)
Ahh thank you so much for letting me know! I had changed my twitter handle and forgot to redirect the icons. I think I've rectified it now! X x
Super cute outfit, I really like this sweater paired with the miniskirt!
I know red hair can be a bitch, the red molecules are actually larger than the pores in our hair so they wash away faster as they are usually just clinging to the hair instead of being inside the hair {whoa, hair nerd alert!!} If you wash it in cooler water and not hot, it helps with fading..a bit, not a tonne.
I still like the red on you a lot though!
