Bleu


PASTEL BLUE JUMPER: ARK CLOTHING | POLKA DOT TROUSERS & SKULL NECKLACE: TOPSHOP | SHOES: CONVERSE

'Oh no, not these trousers AGAIN?' You say?  Ahhhh well.  I think, and after seeing some pictures of other people donning this amazing pair of trews I KNOW, that these would look bang tidy with a pair of heels, but I am so not a heels girl, far from it.  Don't get me wrong, I have sat there many a time, laptop on knees, ooh-ing and ahh-ing over some seriously amazing shoes (I still can't get over how amazingly awesome Prada's S/S 12 flame/rocket shoes are.  WOW.), and I hope one day I can own a pair of Loubous (that man is a GENIUS) but I would do no justice to beautiful pair of five-inchers.  I'm clumsy enough in flat shoes, and I lose my balance at least once every time I take outfit photos, and that's from just STANDING STILL.  It's ridiculous. 
I went a bit more matchy-matchy to wear these pants this time, with another blue item but in a different shade, of course.  Perhaps, with the relatively slouchy jumper, it does make the whole outfit look a little too pyjama-ish.  But thankfully, this season is the season when one can get away with such a thing.  Thank you fashion gods.  Perhaps next time I'll just wear my dressing gown and my monster-feet slippers (yes, that's right.  They're even more brilliant than they sound), what do you think?  Hmmm, perhaps not. 
I have saved up a bit of money to do a bit of shopping, but you know how it is, you spend all your time lusting after practically everything, and then once you get some you don't know what to pick, or sometimes you just don't want anything at all, but I can't say I know much about the latter.
Today will be spent doing some work and avoiding outside as much as possible, as the rain and cold are BACK *dramatic music, lightning strikes outside, etc*.  The sun was here, for A WEEK, now it's gone.  Summer is over.  That's it.  Fanks England, fanksalot.

RUN DMC CUT-OUT TEE: TEE AND CAKE via TOPSHOP | BLACK JERSEY STYLE SKATER SKIRT: TOPSHOP | SHOES: CONVERSE

I wasn't sure what the weather would be like so I went for a kind of in-the-middle outfit, I did have some leggage on show (obviously), but I kept the outfit quite minimal and not-so-summery with the muted colours (apart from the bright red Converse).  Thankfully it did turn out to be sunny so I was fine and dandy, apart from the fact that it was also quite windy, and this skirt is the WORST for windy days, I was using all of my power to hold it down, thankfully I don't think anyone caught a glimpse of my bottom cheeks.  It is so easy to wear with things though and it only cost me fifteen pounds (and that's bloody good for Topshop).  The top is an old purchase which I think I'll still be wearing for, er, ever.  I wouldn't love it as much if it wasn't for the cut-out bits, it just makes the t-shirt that extra bit coo-el.  I get compliments every time I wear it, but sadly I bought it years ago so I don't think it's sold like anywhere now.  But it's okay, I'VE GOT MINE. *smug face* I did warn you the other day that I'd be wearing these Converse a lot, and here I am, wearing them for the third time in a row, which is like totally illegal in the world of fashion blogging.  Don't worry, I'll wear some different shoes tomorrow, although they'll still be Converse, so I guess that's kind of cheating...
I'm at college for one lesson today which isn't too bad, but already in my day I've whacked a kid in the face with my bag and made it cry, so it wasn't off to the best start.  I am also doing a bit CRAP in Chemistry at the moment, which is the thing which will determine whether I go to university or not, so I am working extra extra hard to get my desired result in my exam in a few weeks.  PRAY FOR ME, PEOPLE.

While you getting your cry on, I'm getting my fly on

PLAIN WHITE TEE: ZARA | KHAKI GREEN SHORTS: ASOS | SKULL NECKLACE: TOPSHOP |
MIRRORED AVIATOR SUNGLASSES: JACK & JONES |SHOES: CONVERSE

Thankfully I managed to find some shots in which I wasn't being a bit of a buffoon, at the start of the photo editing process I didn't think that was possible.  I was in a bit of a silly mood, which is a shame because this outfit is so meant for someone COOL, what with the aviators and what not.  I got these about a year or so ago before I went on holiday, after really really wanting some.  They do have the power to make someone look like they're a pretty awesome person, well, I hope... They easily added something a little interesting to my simple outfit.  I'm not sure why I all of a sudden decided to wear these shorts after not wearing them for that long that I'd forgotten about them, but they do really go with the red Converse, in a weird clashing sort of way, and I think they make me like the outfit much more than a usual pair of white or black ones would have.  And I think with the colour of the shorts and the sunglasses, the outfit is a bit military-chic.  Not a look I usually go for, but I do likey-like it,
My sunburn is starting to calm down now, I think my chest is finally being past the stage of being that bad that you could have coooked something on it, but it's still a little pink.  The legs are now nice and tanned, however if you look really hard the front of my legs are tanned whereas the back of them are still pale, much to some people's amusement, ahem...  I'm a really rubbish sunbather and if I'm uncomfortable in one position then I won't stay in that position, leaving me with Ross Gellar-esque tan lines ("I'M AN EIGHT!").  But the weather isn't meant to be great for god knows how long now, so I can probably just hide them away for a while.
I saw MIB 3 last night, and as I predicted Will Smith really does brighten up your day (not like there was anything wrong with my day, but just in case).  Because he time travells in the film it did kind of blow my mind a little bit, but fortunately I refrained from doing my usual thing of asking questions throughout the whole movie (yep, I'm one of THEM people...).  Next on the list is Snow White, and the adverts alone are pretty awesome, so that should be a good one!

P.S. If you're interested in seeing some of the clothes which I am selling, you can check out my eBay here.

New Chucks


FITTED DENIM SHIRT: TOPSHOP | WHITE SKATER SKIRT & SPIKE THROUGH RING: ASOS | SHOES: CONVERSE

Am being a pit patriotic with the choice of colours in this outfit, albeit unintentionally (never used 'albeit' before, let's go with it).  This denim shirt, which I purchased only a few weeks ago, is usually never off my back.  It really is a staple piece in my wardrobe and goes with ANYTHING, whether it's summer or winter.  Best. Buy. Ever.  Can't believe I've got some new shoes AGAIN, but my mum bought these to go out and after that, THEY'RE ALL MINE. I really am building up an impressive collection of Converse, they are without doubt my favourite shoes to wear and if anyone asked me to define my style with one item, it would be a pair of these.  It's not a cheap hobby, but they last me a long and they actually do go with every outfit in my wardrobe, so for me they are completely worth it.  Red is a stand-out colour, too, people say that a slick of red lipstick gives your outfit the perfect injection if colour, which is exactly what these shoes do.  THESE SHOES ARE MY LIPSTICK.  So you've been warned, these Converse are going to be featured on this blog many times from now, (I've already know they are going to be in my outfit tomorrow).  Maybe they'll be a nice change from my black low-tops which I seem to wear all the time lately.  
I wasn't sure about this skirt as I thought the fit around the waist was a little funny, but after putting it on with this outfit I think I am going to keep it because it seems to work well when things are tucked into it, I just need to pull it up and re-tuck a few times, which I'm sure I can cope with!  I love the lantern shape of it and is a a nice change from what shape I'd usually wear.  Plus white is my favourite colour to wear this season, so am purchasing more and more items in the colour.
Am off to see Men in Black 3 tonight with my dad and my brother, which should be fun!  Can't beat a bit of Will Smith to brighten up a Monday.

Floral neon


FLORAL SHIRT: RIVER ISLAND | NEON PINK JEANS: ASOS | SHOES: CONVERSE
This is my second time wearing these so-ridiculous-they're-brilliant bright jeans, and last time I held back a little and teamed them with a black blazer, a black jumper, black black black.  But this time, yeah, I just went all out.  Well, I'm hardly wearing a neon pink top to match, but to me, this is all out.  It was hot again but since I'm still sunburned (the tan line on my boobs is almost terrifying) *cry whinge sob* I thought it would probably be best to cover up as much as possible.  Yes, it is a little bit girlie with the silly amount of pink and flowers, but I think my loyal pair of Converse helped to tone it down.  I do actually really like this outfit and these jeans are definitely starting to grow on me, JE DETESTE it when I purchase a pair of jeans and they end up being baggy in places (I'm not one for trying clothes on in shops...).  I like the paint-on effect.  You know, when you take them off at the end of the day and your legs are purple because the jeans had cut off the blood circulation thingy to your legs?  Yeah, THEM kind of jeans.
 I've done nothing this weekend which is a bit RUBBISH considering the weather, but Sundays are meant for chillaxing, right?  So maybe I'll learn to enjoy it, but then again I'll probably just spend the day moaning because I'm doing nothing, and then when it comes to choosing what to do, I HAVE NO IDEA.  If only little old Burnley had a zoo/theme park/etc nearby.  Blackpool, WHY YOU SO FAR AWAY?  Hope you have a nice day!
