T-SHIRT:DOROTHY PERKINS HOODY&LEGGINGS:PRIMARK SHOES:VANS@OFFICE

Another standard, everyday: "I have places to be but they're not the kinda places I need to be super fancy for" outfit.
This one is looking a bit boring boring though, with just the black and grey. Oh wait, what's that? It's a...

 ...brightly patterned scarf/blanket (srsly, this thing is huge).

So, I don't mean to small talk you guys and gals but, the weather here has been shocking! What was Worcester Racecourse is now a lake and the main road up my side of the river is almost fully submerged. And, yeah, you guessed it, it's still raining! I mean i'm not saying send help but, Noah has wi-fi on the arc right?

I suppose the one good thing to come out of all this rain is that I realised I had no warm shoes apart from my DM's. So I got cosy new boots, which i'll share tomorrow.

Wait, those boots cost money, which I don't really have.

SO THIS WEATHER HAS DONE NOTHING POSITIVE!

Oh well, new boots :)

Another day lazing about in the sun. When there are no assignments to be handed in, uni life really is the dos they talk about :)

One of the perks of having an art student flatmate is they can work your big DSLR and take your photos with no fuss, one of the downsides, i suppose, is that they insist on "experimenting" by putting their sunglasses over the lens...
Hence the sepia, gradient shit going on! But it's okay cos she's a free photographer and i am eternally grateful!

Walking Down The Street

DRESS:DOROTHY PERKINS LEGGINGS:ASOS BOOTS:DR MARTEN

I basically went nuts in town today, shopping my face off. I don't have the money to be doing this but whatever, i was clearly in the mood. I really should have taken my photos before i went out though, hell yeah wind swept top knot.

Amongst the fashion-y stuff i got which shall be posted about i also bought two books, two DVDs and two CDs. I am currently listing to the wonder that is Patti Smith, hence the lyrical post title :)

I think it's the leggings that really make this outfit something a bit different and i actually think it could have done with a big statement necklace as well but i didn't have anything ideal, sad times.

I am currently dealing with a buttload of various stressy things like looking for a house to live in come September, it's certainly making blogging hard but i will prevail!!!!!

Layers

 

 

LEGGINGS:NEW LOOK SHIRT&SOCKS:TESCO DRESS/LONG TOP:H&M BELT:EVANS NECKLACE:GIFT

So yesterday, for the first time in what seems like forever i consciously layered up. It was grey and wet out and i was spending my night in with a lovely friend so i guess comfort was the name of the game. I just realised; my clolour choices pretty much perfectly matched the weather!
Now it seems to me that everyone in England has had a proper little complain about this summer and how "we haven't really had one". Now we might not have had weeks of scorching heat waves but i for one am thankful for that! And the weather hasn't been bad at all. It's been humid as fuck for months (i won't get into my hatred for humidity...) the temps. have been warm and we've had some lovely clear days. I was actually cold last night, i'd forgotten what that felt like!
Weather rant over, this outfit and my reasons for wearing made me realise how much i'm looking forward to Autumn/Winter and wearing 4 layers and boots and thick fabric, i'm very excited : )

Anyone else looking forward to it as much as me? Help me out here people, i'm a bit worried i might be the only one!

SUNGLASSES:H&M HAIR THING:ACCESSORISE BELT:GIFT RING:EVANS

Although yesterday was a perfect summer day (not too hot and not too humid) someone decided to wear all black...

I think i was driven to it by the peacock feathers, i bought this thing, whatever it is, (I don't think a bit of leather with beads and feathers and shit attached has an official name, correct me if i am wrong!) last summer and haven't worn it since. I love it, i just didn't find a good time. Anyway, i wanted to wear it yesterday and went for all black so it stuck out which then meant i focused most of my attention on accessories.

I love jewellery and belts and all that jazz but i've never considered myself one of those people who is an accessories goddess. Like some people wear really ornate statement pieces and always pick the most beautiful stuff but for me it tends to just be a cycle of the same things like my sterling silver jewellery (most of which is sentimental and not fashionable),  plain belts, standard black bag and whatever sunglasses go with the clothes i have on. And if i do wear lots of accessories it's never a real conscious effort, i just kinda do it. So the point i'm getting to is that yesterday was a nice change from being clothes driven and i think i'll be using the stuff in my jewellery box more often!

I had a fantastic day shopping my arse off and i'll probably post a little bit of what i bought later if i get round to it. It was my last chance to go nuts really because from now on it's all save, save, save ready for uni. Which i'm starting to get very excited and nervous about!!!

I hope y'all had/are having a lovely weekend whatever you're up to : )
