What I am wearing: black teardrop earrings, black jumper from Roman Originals, jeans from H&M, red Ray Ban’s and patent black mesh heels.
OK, I am purposely downplaying the outfit for this reason: SHOES. Someone please tell me how to wear these. Cause I cannot figure it out, and it is driving me mad. Because, well, LOOK AT THEM. ASDGHFLEOMG.
Would it be acceptable to wander around naked with only these shoes? Scrap that, I cannot be responsible for a Raiders of the Lost Ark melting face epidemic.
Also, I love these jeans. The photograph does not really do them justice. There are parts that look like acid wash, but since it does not overpower the general fabric it does not look too “80′s trend revival”.
So. Shoes. Purtyful. Halp?
What I am wearing: blue sheer tunic from Roman Originals, sparkly black shorts, black tights, patent black court shoes from New Look and gold-diamanté watch (DW0220) by Dolce and Gabbana.
More blinging-Christmas-ornament-mimicry for another Christmas do. I ended up being a little overdressed but since its Christmas it is all good. Besides I thought we were going clubbing, but as it turned out it was too fracking freezing to do anything but drink Amaretto in a cosy house. Which suits me fine.
Also, I have been naughty and not updating so I am going to make up for it by posting two outfits today :) Hopefully it will be enough to get me off Santa’s bad list.
What I am wearing: symmetrical pattern dress, blue-violet belt, red-violet tights, red-violet velvet heels and gold-diamanté watch (DW0220) by Dolce and Gabbana.
Party time! I contemplated not wearing the belt, but the dress is very shapeless without it. I also had a conflict with the clashing purples and clashing blinging watch but then it grew on me. It is Christmas after all, and I wanted to look like a walking Christmas decoration.
What I am wearing: grey knit beret, charcoal blazer from Ann Taylor, owl pendant, red Ray Ban’s, denim shorts, tights and black patent heels.
This look was inspired by the blazer and denim shorts trend. Which is awesome, cause I am a blazer kind of girl. Some posts in the future may involve me photographing my wardrobe or various items of clothing, including said blazers. Stay tuned.
Finally fixed my hair too. It is not as long as it was, unfortunately, due to a blunt scissor mishap which turned something relatively simple into a complete disaster. Got the colour fixed too so it is no longer a weird blacky, greeny flat thing.
As it turns out my natural hair is around a five or six (ten being the lightest). I dyed it a three, and the hairdresser made sure to make me feel as retarded as possible for doing so. But it is all good now, and now I am truly ready to grow it out a bit :)
Realisation number ten: Donating is something I feel strongly about, especially when it comes to unused things — in this case, clothes. Donating is a sustainable (and charitable) act, which I feel is the responsibility of every consumer. If you are a hoarder I recommend storing clothes away for a long period of time. If you do not miss it you can donate it.
Realisation number eleven: I have gone on a few hiatuses since this project started. It is easy to make up excuses when procrastination takes over, but honestly it was never my intention. The previous posts where I have been unable (or simply refused) to document my dressing manners have been genuine.
And tomorrow, I am going to wear a dress. Shocking.
What I am wearing: grey coat from Select, Dooney and Bourke inspired handbag, silver heart pendant, grey long-sleeved shirt, red pencil skirt from American Apparel, black tights and patent black court shoes from New Look.
No hat!
And my hair is starting to get long :)
What I am wearing: red knit beanie, silver owl pendant, Dooney and Bourke inspired handbag, black cardigan, black long-sleeved shirt, red pencil skirt from American Apparel, black tights and black lace-up boots.
This outfit is dedicated to the colour red, which was a trending topic on Twitter today. It is being used to promote charities for World AIDS Day, which is a good cause and enough reason to love the colour.
Aside from that, red is a colour I am obsessed about. It is a colour that makes me happy.
My mum recently got back from Houston. The necklace, beanie and handbag are all gifts from my family over the ocean — I am very stoked with all my presents! And of course, I am also grateful for my family’s good taste.
On a final note, I have to plug American Apparel for the skirt I am wearing.
It is possibly the most versatile piece of clothing I own. It can be worn as a mini-dress, a short skirt or a waist high skirt. It can be layered with a t-shirt, long-sleeved shirt, vest or buttoned blouse. It can be belted or worn plain.
It can be dressed up and dressed down. It can be worn in summer and in winter. The material is super comfortable, good quality, stretchy and fitted without emphasizing lumps and bumps. It does not look worn out after the first wash and the colour does not fade.
One day I will buy it in every colour. Then I will open a shrine where people can flock and worship the god of all skirts.
What I am wearing: cream knit beanie, Russian doll earrings from ASOS, (red) Gap hoodie, long sleeved black shirt, denim dress, black leggings and biker boots.
I am actually wearing a lot more than the above, but it is mostly layers for warmth. The cold has a habit of kicking my ass. Maybe I should pile on the blubber.
Also, new website and pretty design which isn’t a typographically stupid template!
Also also, contact lenses!
What I am wearing: Navy oversized knit, denim shorts, grey ribbed tights, grey high-heeled boots, grey knit gloves, grey knit beret, green scarf, heart pendant on a long necklace and my red Ray Ban’s.
Realisation number six: I do not get dressed everyday. My work keeps me at home most days where I am doing an Ma, so my only outings during the day are generally to the shop. And when I go to the shops I generally wear a hoodie over my pyjamas. And that would mean I would really live up to the name of this blog.
Realisation number seven: I like the ninja scarf look. So warm.
Realisation number eight: I realise that I have a lot of shoes that I do not know how to wear. So in the end I wear a few pairs only. Expect posts asking for advice on how to wear certain shoes of mine.
Realisation number nine: This photo looks far more relaxed than some of my previous ones, right? I think I am getting used to this ‘being photographed’ lark.
What I am wearing: cream bobble-hat knit, oversized red-violet knit, denim dress shirt, striped shirt, black leggings, black biker boots, silver heart pendant, lavender mittens, patent shoulder bag and red Ray Bans.
I know it is an awful cliché to talk about the weather when you live in England, but here goes. Let us talk about the weather. We are having a really bad storm at the moment with gale force winds of about 70mph+ and torrential rain. The Isle of Wight is closed and our fence is in the neighbour’s garden.
The forest breaks up the gales. I love the sound of it howling through the damp autumn landscape. It makes me conscious of how the trees breathe and move. It is also exhausting to walk through with a hyperactive puppy.
Basil got so muddy we had to bathe him too. And he likes to jump out and run around everywhere mid-bath. So I am now doubly exhausted. And speckled with bits of water with mud mixed in. Very nice.
Time for a nice warm bath and a long relaxing read methinks.
What I am wearing: grey knit beret, mauve scarf and gloves from Principles, oversized knit from Roman Originals (the shop my mum works in, hehe), skinny jeans, indigo boots from Faith, heart pendant on a long chain, patent shoulder bag and red Ray Ban’s.
Dog walking again. It rained and was generally yucky.
