We've Got Amnesia From the Smallest Problems

Shirt: Primark
Skirt: New Look
Shoes: New Look

I tried something a bit different last week and I didn't hate it. I love both of these items separately but I always was struggling to style them until the look kept popping up all over my blogosphere so I decided to just give it a go. I really like how the brown shoes work with the pastel-y colours of the top half and I think it gives me a nice shape.



I have to be honest with you though. After the photos I changed out of the skirt because the heat was just too claustrophobic and all I could think of wearing was shorts. I do like the look though and I would wear it again under different weather conditions.

Today (as I'm typing but I plan to schedule this so Monday) was my first day back at work. I worked in a recruitment office during my gap year and I'm back there for a month to earn some cash. It was tiring and boring and exactly how it used to be and I yearn to be out in the sunshine or flicking through blogs but hey, money makes the world go round.



My smile looks really dodgy there but I thought I should mix it up a bit with the photo style. Fingers crossed I can schedule this post as I've never done it before and I'm handing my macbook over to get a new topcase tomorrrow from the lovely mac people as mine is cracked. I won't be able to post until I get my precious Jake back but you can still find me on twitter. I've installed the twitter widget which I think is great and you should all follow me. shameless plug!



I have declared my love of lace before but I never quite feel confident about wearing it. Is there anything you love but hesitate about wearing?
