Happy Monday!!!
I am so tired today and the prospect
of a busy week isn't exactly helping.
This heat doesn't help either - as
you can see my hair has gone and decided to be a flat, greasy mess. I'm caught
between washing it everyday or shaving it all off; neither is appealing to me
so I'm forced to wear it in a bun at home.
I can't function in this heat and
wearing black to work yesterday when it was boiling - yeah not my idea of fun!
I had my legs out and wore a Black Cotton Skater Dress from Topshop; which I love as I
have officially worn it two weeks in a row for work. Plus it keeps me cool
during this unpredictable weather.
So this was me earlier when I popped
out with the family.
Firstly we headed up to my old
college to pick up my GCSE results. I did my GCSE's 2 years ago, but I never
picked up my certificates and seen as I'm enrolling on Thursday in my new
college; I needed something from them to say I did do them. It was very dull
and my old college couldn't organise a p*** up in a brewery, so it was just a
stressful time rather then a hand over of documents (or in their case a piece
of headed paper with my results on - twats!!) I did get an apple doughnut so I
was happy (and it tasted nice). Next we headed to Wing Yip a massive Chinese
supermarket which Charlie loves!! I'm not a fan of Chinese food but I love all
the interesting smells, and seeing all those weird and wonderful food. I did go
and look at the live lobsters about 10 times - they're so cool!! After that we
headed to John Lewis Home
and O M G I want my whole house to be furnished like the store. I fell in love
with everything from cards to cushions and curtains (a lot of C's); I did see a
few flasks I liked which are my new obsession. Our next stop was Hobbycraft
which is an arty person’s Mecca,
to me it's a load of fluffy and shiny things that I want to collect and never
use. I'm not an arts and crafts person. I'm the kind of person who buys
everything already made; but seen as I'm constantly told to de-stress I decided
to become more arty. I picked up some plain tote bags and fabric pens to
decorate t-shirts and the tote bags themselves. Our penultimate destination was
Sainsbury's (I always go to the best places); I picked up some food and the new
Harper's Bazaar September issue. The final destination was my Nan.J's. I
dropped off 3 bags of clothes (with the help of Charlie) at the local charity
shop and then headed back to Nan's. I'm
actually doing an exciting project with Charlie at my Nan.J's tomorrow, so I
had to get the heads up to say it was ok before we went ahead and did it.
To the outfit...
Seen as it has suddenly become a
tropical heat wave I wanted to wear something cool and yet not too revealing. I
did contemplate wearing shorts but I couldn't decide on just one top to wear
(too many choices); so I looked over and saw this dress hanging up and decided
to bring it out again. I did first wear this dress back in May with very kooky
accessories and a red, white (cream) and blue palette; but this time I wanted
to do something simple. I've had this pearl collar from Primark for a while
now, I've always loved the trend of collar necklaces and chokers but never
quite knew how to wear it. It was just by some chance that I decided to pair
this dress and the collar together, and that's how this outfit was created. The
collar is a very versatile piece and for £4 you can't complain!! Who knows
maybe this ensemble will be back in another kooky twist. I just realised this -
but the day I wore this dress for the first time was the day I bought the
sunnies I'm wearing!! How weird is that??
Like I said I have a busy week which
is making me want to run and hide; but hopefully I'll be able to have a few lie
ins here and there.
Fingers crossed...
