Green and yellow=60s canary


 SUN?! WHAT?!! HELLO YOU JOYFUL BALL OF GAS YOU! NICE TO SEE YOU!
It was sunny today, and I don't know if you heard, that doesn't happen very often here England. We, as a nation, are very excited about it. 

Today I donned a 60s number to revise in, feeling a little like a colourful canary. It was originally paired with some skin-coloured tights, but they weren't half as exciting as the possibility of this fabulous colour clashing opportunity. I embraced this opportunity wholeheartedly. Also, if you are a VERY avid reader you will remember that these were the sunglasses which I won from Chloe (they are quite easily the most expensive thing I own BY MILES) so it's always jolly exciting to whip them out and I think they complimented this 6os ensemble nicely. 

I would just like to point out that, as obviously, all my photos are taken in my room you never get to see what footwear I'm sporting. To clear up any mystery it is always a pair of dodgy old white converses, which always ruin my outfit, because they are the only shoes I can lug books around in. Very glamourous.

In black to mourn the end of of my academic career.

Hello all! How are we? No one ever answers, why do you never answer? I'm worried about you. How are you?! I'm sure there's some of you who are distinctly not okay because you've just realised how soon your exams are. Am I right? Yeah, same.

Remember when I used to have half decent pictures for my outfits? Not anymore. I'm still waiting to get myself one of those blogger boyfriends. The hunt is not going well. But you probably guessed that. 

I picked up this lovely little 60s dress in a local vintage shop, I mean I was meant to be in there picking out an outfit for the sixth form fashion show, but I got a little distracted. They were lovely, and said they'd hold it a week for me until I got paid. This dress is a hundreds times better in the flesh so trust me when I say it is fantastic and fits me like a VERY WELL-FITTING GLOVE. 

I'm going to now listen to The Boat that Rocked soundtrack on repeat and weep for my lost university place.

Hi there, do you need any help at all?

How ARE we all?! I'm going to provide you with some rare insights to actual, dire state of my room. Just look at the mess on that dressing table. Look at the dress hanging behind me from my taking pictures of it and being to lazy to put it back. My room is a safety hazard the majority of the time. 

I'm really surprised, and I'm sure you are too, that To Be Worn Again Vintage haven't rung me up to be their poster girl yet? It wasn't till I started putting my outfits back up on here that I realised, HOW MUCH I buy from there. Guys, if you're reading I'm open to doing any ad campaigns or instore signings/promotions or you know, just claiming loyal customer discount? Seriously, it's no bother.

I put this outfit together and realised I felt like a diner gal, you know like Mel from that annoying fucking bank advert? You know the one. I want to go in there and just buy a sausage roll to piss them off. Sorry, rant over. Anyway, that is what I was going for in the first picture, not just demonstrating how long and flat my hand can be.

There are a lot pictures of my face in this post, I'm sorry, but my hair had reached new heights this day.

The Carpet Coat

If you're on holiday now, how are you finding it? Having fun times i hope. I would like to take the time to introduce to the Carpet Coat, thus named because every single time I were it someone asks if it is made of an old carpet/curtain. It is not. It was actually fairly expensive, thank you very much. It does look like a carpet though, in the very best way. 
This dress has been hanging around in my wardrobe for ages now, it was a little too short when I bought it really, and it definitely is now,  but I live dangerously these days. One gusty breeze and it could all be over though.

Not sunny and no scarfs

It wasn't sunny today, which is good because it means I can wear black and not sweat buckets or look out of place among the fields of pastels. YAY FOR BLACK. I love black, I feel so classy.

 And I can spill food on my self when I eat and you can't see it. As I said, classy.

This dress is a super staple in my wardrobe, its a black 60s pencil dress thing and I wear it ALL THE TIME, and it was a bargain. YAAY FOR BLACK DRESS. And it's pretty little being about two sizes too small for me in reality, but you know, I like a challenge when I get dressed in the morning. 

Do you like how the quality of my photos has just gone so far downhill since I have no one but my laptop to take them for me? I also lost my tripod. How does one lose a tripod? I guess if I had known the answer to that I wouldn't have lost it. I'm so philosophical. 

ALSO, keep your eyes peeled, open with cocktail sticks, not closed, because I'm going to have the first of my items up in my etsy store VERY SOON (I need to stop with the capitals, I know). It's become a great form of procrastination for me, setting up an online store midway through revision, yay for good life choices!

oh HIYA, hello, hai!

I'm still alive. I know, I'm sorry blog, I've treated you badly. I can't just come along and pick you up and use you when I feel like it. That's not how a loving relationship works. I can't just decide to see you when it suits me and takes my fancy. I know we have to work on this together, this is a two way thing, and I'm sorry. I promise to only make my post sporadic from now on, instead of sparse.

It almost feels silly, sitting down here and writing about what clothes I put on, I'm out of practice. But yes blog, you're right. I have been seeing other people. During our break I did procrastinate with other writing formats. I may have gotten bored and started writing a terrible screen play instead, I may have gotten bored and written superfluous tumblr posts and may also have reached a very low point in my most bored days where I wrote 17,000 words of an awful novel and for that I'm sorry.

I'm glad I got that off my chest.

I don't know if you noticed but it was quite sunny? I only know because I saw it on instagram, I myself, was locked in the library revising, for all I know the outside world may well now have taken on a permanent 'rise' filter. Nevertheless, here is what I wore to said afternoons in the library, and I really think the librarians appreciated these ones, I really do.

Gonna make my own money, gonna buy my own land

Blazer- Zara    Dress- H&M

The end of exams are in sight, just two more gruelling ones then I'm done. *victory dance to come on eileen*. I've become such a regular in the public library now that I know when all the librarians have their shifts. I KNOW WHEN TO AVOID YOU LADY THAT LIKES COMPLETE EAR SPLITTING SILENCE, I KNOW WHEN YOU WORK. Not that that makes any difference to me, seeing as I'm usually there revising on my own. PARTY HARD. 

If you have exams, I hope they're going a-okay. Hit the books, they don't hit back. Fight with the bull, get the horns. Hugs not drugs. You can do it guys, I believe in you. 

Until next time.

Damn that girl like avian prints.

Jumpsuit- Topshop

She's only gone and done two posts in the same amount of days. Look at her go! Unbelievable! She loves avian patterned clothes! 

This jumpsuit cost me a meagre ten pounds. No one wanted a jumpsuit covered in swans, it seems like a very workable item to me. Definitely something Gok would throw in a capsule wardrobe.

These were taken in the two minutes in the whole day I wasn't trying to swallow a revision guide whole. Are you bored of hearing about my revision yet? I'd like to write about something interesting BUT MY WHOLE LIFE IS JUST REVISION. I SEE FLASH CARDS AND FELT TIPS WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES.
