Comic book cover sweater & denim skater skirt: TOPSHOP | Shoes: CONVERSE

I bought this sweater about a month ago now and I am certain that it's one of the coolest things I own (as well as my Ironman and my astronaut t-shirts).  The weather's been lovely over the last couple of days but me being me I'm never sure if I'm still going to be cold or not, so this sweater is perfect for me as I can keep warm but still have the legs out so I don't look like a weirdo who dresses in layers in summer.
I don't regularly shop online on Topshop as I have more control over my impulses than I do in a physical store, which shows just how much I must like it as this was swiftly added to my basket.  I think the colours of the sweater are what initially really drew me to it.  It has a purpley-blue colour which I haven't really seen on clothing before, and the yellow and the red look absolutely awesome against it.  (Am I making sense or am I just rambling about colours...?  Moving on.)

I don't know, I just dig the whole I'm-a-geek-but-a-really-cool-one look.  Especially now Cara Delevingne has made the look even cooler.  I thought it went pretty damn well with my Chucks as they tie into the whole geek chic thing.
I can't get enough of this denim skirt at the moment, especially now the sun is coming out and I don't need to wear tights.  You can't see here but it fits so perfectly on my waist, I can't wait to wear it with different crop tops.  I can see it becoming one of my favourite pieces.

I’m flying too close to the sun...

Blue hooded denim jacket: ASOS (mens') | Striped shirt & denim skater skirt: TOPSHOP | Shoes: CONVERSE

Hi all!  Long time no outfit post, but I thought I'd show you today's look as the amount of items I have and haven't worn on this blog yet is getting pretty ridiculous (however I've been on a spending ban the last few weeks - and a successful one! - so maybe I'll catch up).  All of these clothes bar the shoes are from recently.    The jacket I bought in the ASOS sale for twenty pounds, not something I usually but, and I kid you not, I have worn it every single day since buying it.  Surely the novelty will wear off eventually (right...?), but the cost per wear has definitely got into negative numbers now.

The weather is still bit up and down at the moment (as in boiling one day and literally teeth-chatteringly cold the next day) so it can be difficult to know what the bloody hell to wear.  Yesterday morning I put a nice dress on before going to work, but changed my mind last minute and put some black leather pants on.  I can safely say after walking to the bus stop I was starting to question that decision... Sooo as you can see I chose the skirt-and-no-tights option today (and was cold, but we'll skip over that part).
I really like this shirt.  It's very boyish with the short sleeves and the button to the top, so it's the perfect contrast when worn with a skirt.  I think it looks great with my tattoos, too.  Thank you, me, for buying this, what a blummin' good choice.
The tattooing apprentice is going really well, I really want to start a new tattoo blog - mostly to force myself to learn new things which I wouldn't necessarily learn from my apprenticeship - but I don't want to do Blogger because of Google Plus (errrgh).  I asked on Twitter last night and a few guys said Tumblr would be a good choice, should I go for that one?  If anyone has a better suggestion (please remember I'm not a complete computer genius) then throw them this way please!

Baroque print tee: ASOS | Denim look skater skirt & black patent loafers: TOPSHOP

So as you can probably tell by now, I cannot get enough of this tee.  I've now worn it in three outfit posts.  In a row.  Someone is going to have to come and physically tear it off my back.
I wore this outfit for a chilled, easy day spent looking round town for a bit and a trip to the book shop.  'Off duty' days don't really exist for me when it comes to what I'm wearing, so even though I have done pretty much nothing all day I still feel better to put on a nice outfit and a touch of make-up.  I'm definitely not a trackies kinda' girl.  I'm not sure why I went for my loafers today, I think I just wanted a change from my trusty Converse and ended up going for these.  They fit me feet exactly right which gives me huge amounts of satisfaction every time I wear them.
I really like the top with this skirt as I think the acid wash blue and the grey go extremely well together, and are practically just asking to be teamed with some red lipstick.  I've been wearing my berry shade a lot recently, but red just seemed right with this look, and now I want to wear it all the time.  Do you think you can get red tattooed on to your lips?  That'd be good.  I'm also having a good hair today, which is always nice.  I am getting a bit bored of my hair in general though, I want to change it but I don't know how.  Well, I do know, I want to grow it down to my ass, but that hasn't happened for a good few years.  I don't think I'm brace enough to chop a chunk of it off, either... Hmm.
I'm doing very well on my spending ban.  I don't think I've gone shopping in a whole week *mini wave in celebration of me!*.  And it's extremely hard at the moment since ASOS have brought back their 25% student discount, as well as Urban Outfitters having 20% off and free delivery (it makes me cry to even say it).  Man, my will power has a big smug smile on its face right now.
I'm now back home after having my last lecture of the week this morning.  I think I'm going to the cinemas tomorrow to see that film with Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper in it, 'Silver Linings Playbook', is it?  I like Jennifer Lawrence.  I like Bradley Cooper.  Therefore, I will inevitably like this film (er, I hope).  So the weekend starts now for me, wheeeeee!

JUMPER, JEWELLERY & SKIRT: TOPSHOP | NAILS: BARRY M | SHOES: CONVERSE via OFFICE

I spotted this jumper in Westfield shopping centre and loved it (so soft!) but decided not to buy it until the next day on Oxford street, but alas I couldn't find it anywhere after that!  But a few days later I found that my local Topshop had it, so I purchased straight away.  As you can probably tell from the photos, I bought a size up, but I'm glad I did, it probably looks ridiculous to most people but I like my jumpers big and baggy!  I bought this necklace last weekend and after my other one's moustache fell off, but a few hours after buying this one the moustache fell off this too, so if you're thinking of buying it because of the moustache, just don't bother!  I think it still works like this, though.  I also purchased the rings I'm wearing including this freaky eye ring, I love it.  And how cool is the question mark one?!  I am going through a quirky ring phase at the moment, but as a result my fingers keep turning green.  I had to prove to my boyfriend the other day that yes, it is because I'm wearing cheap jewellery, not because the rings have bruised my sausage fingers.
