The title of this post pretty much sums up my weekend!
This outfit is bought to you courtesy of my new Heyday! trousers. When I saw this new fabric on the Heyday! website I just had to have them. They’re a gorgeous grey and black pin stripe wool, and even better these are a size smaller than my other Heyday trousers as I’ve managed to knock off an inch or so since Christmas!

I was heading off into town for a few early evening drinks at a Belgian Bar, and look, no coat! The weather has taken a welcome turn for the warmer, lets hope it sticks around!
We enjoyed a few Belgian beers in Novelty glasses then headed home as Saturday night was supposed to be the big night out at the No Strings Boogaloo.
Unfortunately early on Saturday afternoon I appear to have managed to do some damage to my back. I suppose I only have myself to blame, after all, attempting to carry heavy things like CUPS OF COFFEE upstairs on my own is just asking for trouble.
I am now bent double, like a little old lady, and making “hilarious” squeaky noises every time I inadvertently make a sudden movement. I still went out to the Boogaloo, but I had to abandon my planned frock in favour of yet another pair of trousers. This time my super comfortable ones from Lady K Loves (which I’ll tell you about in more detail another day I’m sure!). Frankly I just looked like an idiot walking around bent double in a frock and a feathered hat. *sigh*
The No Strings Boogaloo was fabulous as ever, but my poor back meant I ws back home tucked up in bed well before midnight. You can read more about the night over at Vintage Norwich and there’s more piccies on the Facebook Page, but here’s a few for you in the mean time.
I’m now off to mainline ibuprofen and generally feel sorry for myself *sob*

oooh poor you, hope you recover soon. Love the new Heyday Trousers, they look fab!
Ouch! I know how it feels to pull your back. That’ll learn you for carrying heavy items. A cup of coffee? 🙁
Lovely trousers though 🙂
🙁 Back pain’s no party, is it? I put mine out and had to go to the docs, it seems to be on the mend. Turned out it was working with my laptop on my lap (at work and at home bloggin’) – I must must must use a desk! (She says, laptop on lap…)
I LOVE those trousers, just too much! Once my 40 days and nights of lenten frugality are over I am SO getting a pair.

Loving the new “feel” of your blog 🙂 Those trousers look just like my cup of tea, gorgeous fabric.
I also see you enjoyed a Troll beer, one of my boyfriend’s favourite beers when we lived in Belgium 😉
Ow, hope your back feels better soon. The trousers look fab on you – very chic.
Hope you feel better soon! I really love those trousers! and lucky you with the weather., It was *snowing* all of Saturday morning up here. Snowing!
Love those trousers, you look fab. Sorry to hear about your back. Get well soon.
Iv’e had my eye on some Heyday trousers for a while, they look fab! When your back is better try some Yoga/Pilates it’s great for strengthening and doesn’t make you “glow” excessively!!!! X
couldn’t fit it into the 140 characters on Twitter but just to say , your trousers actually inspired my outfit today! I paired mine wit a little 80’s does 40’blouse. Despite my trousers almost falling down for most of the day, I got several comments including someone saying they like my ‘oxford bag’style trousers! Love it! Hope the back is better soon! x
