Grasping Summer

Warning: this outfit of the day post features sunshine and a summer maxi dress...in September! It felt odd to have such a hot and glorious day at this time of year, but you will hear no complaints from me. I decided to share this outfit with you, mainly because a sweet elderly lady stopped me in Waterstone's Llandudno to say that she thought I looked beautiful, which made my day! So, below are the pictures. Enjoy!

Birds of Paradise

Yes, another outfit post! I make no apologies for this however, as I have come to realise that I take fashion risks far more regularly than I do in my make up choices at the moment. I think a lot of that is down to a lack of time. Throwing on an outfit that's different to any you've worn before, despite not buying anything new, doesn't take up much of my time. Blending shadows, applying eyeliner and spending an age getting my lipstick even (as I have asymmetrical lips, annoyingly!) is definitely more time consuming. As I am so close to getting the majority of the work in for my MA, time is a valuable commodity for me right now (Did anyone see the film In Time with Amanda Seyfried and Justin Timberlake? My life is like that...except not at all like it either).

I can only apologise about the less than perfect image quality and the fact that they are boring and taken inside. Again, this comes down to time restraints. I want to keep content on my blog and therefore, for now, shortcuts must be made. I just don't have the time to spend sourcing beautiful locations. Not until my final essay is written and I have a little more time in between dissertation writing and research. I promise to really up the anti in terms of photography then! I can't buy new equipment, but I will learn new techniques with the stuff I have. Anyway, onto the outfit!

A very casual outfit! Comfortable, but I felt smart all the same.

Hipster Princess Leia

A face of the day/outfit post combined today. I felt like wearing a skirt and yearned for a different hairstyle. This combo is the result! Sorry about not getting all of me in one full length shot, I was taking the photos on my own and it was proving tricky to do with a tripod as I don't have a camera with a flip out screen to check my positioning. 


I had been wearing the hairstyle for a good few hours by this
point, hence why it's messy!



The only problem with doing outfit of the day posts when you're so poor that you can't buy new clothes, is that these clothes are no longer available in the shops. However, I hope you can draw inspiration from my outfit posts, whether that's 'I should never wear that' or 'I really like the way that's styled, I can use X in my wardrobe to achieve a similar look'. I just want you fine people to know how I tend to wear things as it helps me look back and think 'yes I liked that'  or 'dear God what was I thinking?!'. I won't list items for this post as all of the clothes were purchased a year, if not two years, ago. Sorry!
