Hello and Happy New Year and Happy New Decade!!
I hope 2019 was kind to you all, for me it was a year of ups and downs but I survived and I am ready to tackle whatever this new year brings!
Now I know I have been very lax on the Blogging front, in fact, I only managed one blog post last year! I am still active on Instagram which if I am honest is still my most preferred platform.
I would like this year to try and find some time for blogging and maybe even some Youtube (if my SD Card stops being a pain and going wrong!!) but who knows!
Anyway, I thought I would do a look back at my favorite outfits from last year- so here goes!
First up is a dress from Monki that I bought in the sale as we now have a physical Monki store in Birmingham (next door to the new Primark).

Today’s ootd is this rather fabulous fake fur coat I found in a charity shop in Harborne yesterday! It kept me all warm and snuggly whilst the wind was raging outside today! Today’s toilet selfie comes from the loos in Cosy Coffee one of my favorite local coffee shops as they do the best Flat whites! #sundaybest #sundayoutfit #psootd #toiletselfie #ootd #fatshion #thrifting #thriftstorefinds #charityshopfinds #charityshopfashionA post shared by NattyNikki 💋 (@nattynikki) on Mar 10, 2019 at 10:48am PDT
I also braved the tuck!

Thursday is a go and I am hoping to go out for tea after work! Today’s ootd is a top from @primark , trousers from @selectfashion and old sandals from @newlook. A few years ago I would have never worn this outfit as my tummy is one part of me that I struggle to accept but I don’t want to look back on my life and regret all the outfits I never had the courage to wear! Live for today and live your best life ❤️ #psblogger #psootd #liveyourbestlife #selectfashion #primark #newlook #summerfashion #vbo #stripes #youareenoughA post shared by NattyNikki 💋 (@nattynikki) on May 15, 2019 at 11:18pm PDT

New hair color who dis? If you saw my IG story last night you may have seen me talk about my hair dye disaster! I used a Colour Freedom Graphite Grey dye that ended up very black! Having washed it this morning with some Vosene it looks better and I am now getting used to it!! Jumpsuit is a cheap one from Ebay and is ridiculously comfy! #hairdye #hairfail #metallichair #jumpsuit #ebayfashion #psootd #size18style #psblogger #ootdA post shared by NattyNikki 💋 (@nattynikki) on Aug 8, 2019 at 5:01am PDT
