HEY!


I took a little break from blogging owing to my devastating lack of funds meaning I've had no money to spend on looking nice for the past few months. But now, with a slight blog make-over, a full time job and a soon-to-be replenished wardrobe, I'm back, and it feels good.

Day Fifteen

I've spent most of today searching the internet for winter outfit inspiration. I never look at anyone else in a jumper and jeans and think they look awful, but I can't stand the sight of it on myself. It just feels so boring and uncreative.

As it turns out, most of the world seem to wear shorts in winter, because it's not -500 like it is in London, so all in all it was a useless waste of time, unless you're immune to sub-zero temperatures and are happy to wander around without a coat.

Day Fourteen

It snowed this morning, if you hadn't heard. And I HATE snow. In fact I hate any weather that isn't mild and at least slightly sunny, so it was big jumpers and fur all the way today. Tried and tested as a warm outfit (with two t-shirts and an extra pair of leggings), this will be my official outfit for the week if the snow keeps it up.

Day Thirteen

My hangover Sunday has consisted of Breakfast Club with the hangover crew, Baileys latte's and streaming Les Mis. Ideal!

Cardigan - vintage; Crop top - Topshop; High waisted jeans - eBay; DM brogues - eBay; Necklace - eBay; Frilly sock - H&M

It can be as cold as it likes but I will be wearing crop tops through the snow, I don't even care. Also, high waisted jeans are an error when you're venturing out solely to stuff yourself with veggie breakfasts, but whatever. 

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!

Day Twelve

It's two of my girl's birthdays tonight so we're hitting the town. Wasn't entirely sure of my outfit - I feel part power lesbian, part office worker, part hipster - but I'm going with it anyway.

Blazer - H&M; Crop top - eBay; Trousers - H&M; Shoes - New Look; Bag - iOffer

In fact, I was considering returning these trousers until I noticed that that shop assistant had marked them down wrong so I actually got them for £5. What a bargain!

Day Eleven

A depressing day of emails, meetings and trying to sort my life out. Days like this always encourage me to dress in a way that contradicts my actual position. So where I feel like I should be in horrible lazy clothing, I dress like I actually have some money/good stuff going on. I'm not the only one who does that, right?

In other news today, I found a pair of Jeffrey Campbells reduced from £95 to £20 IN MY SIZE ONLY, and I didn't buy them, which proves that I am slowly but surely maturing when it comes to my finances. I'm also kind of willing for spring to come early so it's been a pastely kinda day over here.

Day Ten

Despite what the weather seemed to suggest yesterday, summer hasn't actually started, so I froze in this today. Might be time to bring the furs back out. My winter denial means they've not seen much daylight this year.

This dalmatian print canvas bag is my new favourite thing. I initially bought it (for a bargain £1.50) for the days I'm running around with my laptop and gym clothes, but it actually makes a pretty cute bag for normal days too!
