HELLO EVERYONE!!!
It's good to see you all again!!!
I've had quite a tiring week but it's about to get more hectic in the next fortnight!!
I reckon come the 22nd I'll be absolutely dead in my early morning Law lesson, I can't wait for half term.
Anyway...
This was me yesterday when I popped to Kingston to see Rowanna.
Now I have to admit that this week (and this week alone) I have repeated an outfit. I know shock horror but I did it with good intentions. You see I originally wore this outfit to college on Wednesday; but as my hair was a mess I didn't take a photo. So I decided to wear it again yesterday to do the outfit some justice. As I said yesterday I popped to Kingston to see Rowanna. It was a whole new experience for me as I had to get a bus that I've never been on before - X26. Now usually I'm alright with going on adventures and getting lost; but for some reason yesterday I spent the whole journey with a petrified look on my face. I was so happy when I got off and met with Rowanna, not only because I've missed her but at least by then I knew where I was. We popped to her student digs where I got to have a nose around, and I'm not kidding when I say it looked like a hotel. There were doors everywhere you looked, long corridors and everything was neutral. I did like her room as it has a nice big wardrobe and plenty of storage; the kitchen area had a breakfast bar and a couple of sofas. Overall it's a really nice building and I've certainly got high standards for my future student digs. We did go for lunch together where we both had nice greasy all day breakfasts, you have no idea how much I've missed hash browns - I love them! We had a nice long chat and caught up seen as we hadn't seen each in a month and a half. After lunch we went for a look round a few of the shops and to see the leaning telephone boxes. We had a rummage through a vintage store and then headed to H&M; where I picked up a very fluffy gilet which I absolutely adore (in fact I originally saw it on Thursday but decided to be good). Primark was the next port of call where I picked up a clutch bag to go with my birthday dress, (yep I've already got it). I headed home shortly afterwards as Rowanna had a lecture in the afternoon; but overall it was a really good day, I enjoyed myself and I can't wait to go back.
To the outfit...
Now like I said earlier this is actually an outfit repeat (as I originally wore it on Wednesday); but I actually really like this ensemble. There's just something about monochrome that gets me excited (not in that way); I'm constantly adding to my monochrome wardrobe. The leather look jacket and cardigan are new additions to my wardrobe from Primark. I've been after a long sleeved leather jacket for a few months now and I've looked at many different versions. My favourite was from Debenhams a Matthew Williamson bronze coloured one; but unfortunately a size 16 is a very popular size. I popped in to Primark last week with the intentions of purchasing a leather jacket, I couldn't find one in my size and it wasn't till Leah turned around by accident and found one. I'm really happy with the fit of this jacket but my only problem with it, is the bagginess on the arms but it's fine once you have a chunky knit on underneath. I also picked this cardigan up on the same day. I actually don't have a black cardigan that I can wear just everyday, so when I saw this cardigan just sitting there I knew I had to have it. It is a size 14 but it fits really nicely, it also has patches on the elbows to give it that old fashioned feel.
I'm on complete stress mode at the moment for all sorts of reasons, so I'm not exactly the nicest person you'll ever meet.
Come back and see me in a years time - in fact make it 10!!
Time to de-stress now??
I don't think so...
