I'm not yours anymore

Shorts: Vintage
Tights: Primark
Bag: Vintage
Oxfords: Below 7

I honestly don't know what I'm going to do for photographs once I move home for summer. I suppose I'll have to master my tripod or tell my mother about my blog. Both will be tricky. How do you take your photos? Either way I love the photos from today. I had a relaxed day of arts and craftsing. I had to prepare my costume for tomorrow's Otley Run. More on that tomorrow though.



I had been looking for high waisted shorts for a while and when I found this bag yesterday I also hit the jackpot with these denim shorts. I had tried on some stone coloured one but these were much better. They're an awkward height on the waist though but I'm sure no one else can really notice that. I had an outfit all planned out but then when I looked out the window in the morning and saw how sunny it was, I knew that wasn't going to work. Does anyone else plan their outfits the night before then get them ruined by the morning?



You've seen this top before but I wore it as a dress. I managed to make it look like a crop top today because it looked awkward tucked completely in so I pulled it out slightly and I loved the effect. I'm really gonna have to experiment with these shorts cause everything I was trying on this morning just wasn't working.



I think I'm also pretty set on keeping this bag now. It's just too much of a good find to sell on but it's pretty timeless so I can always sell it in the future if I need some money. Before I forget, I'm also on Twitter now here. I'd love it if you'd follow me because I don't really have many people to follow on there yet. I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine.

Wolves At Night

Dress: H&M
Leggings: H&M
Belt: Urban Outfitters
Cardigan: Topshop
Shoes: Still odd.

I decided to just rock the odd shoes look tonight for my friends birthday because I didn't really have any other option, hoping no one would notice. Willis decided to inform my friend of it though, thanks for that! I only managed to stay for the first bar as I was too flu-ey and icky but I feel awful for being a weak friend. I rarely get to see my friend, who I actually know from uni in Leeds, but it's always good when we get together.



I actually tried this dress on thinking it was a top but it can work both ways which is great for seven pounds. Bargain! I don't normally wear dresses this short or fitted, as I'm sure you know from my blog but I fancied a change and I made it mine with the belt, cardigan and oxfords instead of heels. I also wanted an excuse to wear my red lipstick and my hair big. I love it this big but it takes some backcombing to get it into this mane.


I want to just say how flattered I was when my outfits have been going into the style gallery recently on chictopia. I know that's how a lot of you found my blog and I'd like to say thank you to anyone who follows me, comments on here or on chictopia. It's such a confidence boost and I started this as a way to utilise my wardrobe better but you guys have helped make a fun experience. Obviously I've only just started out but wanted to say thank you!
