What I am wearing: Military style coat from Roman Originals, grey long-sleeved shirt, black waist-high shorts, tights and black patent heels.
New military awesome coat is awesome. I am rather new to this look since I do not own much that is overtly military (I mean, do red berets count? I do not know.) so this is a first for me. It looks a bit bigger than it actually is — the fit is really good, and the sleeves have a seam which give them this puffed up exaggerated look. (I do not actually know what I am talking about. I just really like the coat.)
My hair is also strangely androgynous today. I rather like it.
ETA: Doesn’t my new coat also remind you of Cheryl Cole’s outfit in ‘Fight for this love’? I do not really like the song, but I keep thinking about it every time I wear it.
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: 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.
