Morning Everyone!!
How are we all on this Wednesday morning??
Good??
Well at least someone is!!
You see my family and I have been infected with something known as the 'common cold'.
BOOOOO!!!
And let me tell you something...IT SUCKS!!!
I constantly feel like I've been dragged through a hedge (and not in a good way *wink wink*).
Anyway...
This was me yesterday after spending time at a Nintendo focus group with theMuse.tv.
Now a while a go I received an email from theMuse.tv, asking for volunteers to attend a focus group for a fashion Nintendo game. I didn't see the email until the day after it was sent, so when I decided to volunteer I had a feeling I wouldn't get it. But low and behold I received an email a couple of days later (or was it the day after I can't remember); saying that I got it (kinda thing) and to email them back with my details. I got really excited as I didn't know what to expect. Long story short I was to attend the focus group on Tuesday 4th December at 6pm. Waiting around yesterday was absolute torture!! I was so dead from my cold, (not literally) and half asleep that I was not in the mood to do anything. I watched most of my recordings in the morning to amuse me; but by the time my Dad came home from my Nan.J's I was in a state of boredom. This continued on for another hour and a half until I decided to get my butt in to gear and get ready. I have to admit I was in a lazy mood yesterday and I couldn't be bothered to wash my hair, so I thought it was about time I busted out the hair extensions again. Now I do look better in these extensions then the last time I wore them, I think the layers in my hair help them slot in better plus I positioned them more accurately. I'm still not amazing yet as under that bowler hat you could see all the clips. I'm slowly getting there though. I won't go in to the 20 minute getting dressed part, as I will come to that later when I talk about the outfit. Eventually after missing my original train and my Dad escorting me to the station (thank you Daddy); I was back on track and trying not to freeze to death. I won't talk about my dull journey but O M G the Charing Cross train was packed!! The only good thing was a cute guy but even then he got off at Waterloo East (BOO). I legged it (well not literally) up to Covent Garden, where I lovingly stared at the Royal Opera House and past all the twinkly lights. Needless to say I arrived at my destination just after 6pm, fingers frozen and nose running I looked a state. There were a few people there when I arrived, and I spent most of my time trying to stop my nose from running a frigging marathon. Everyone was really nice and inviting and I did have a good chat with a really nice person who became my game buddy. It's so weird how I'm actually quite shy; but for some reason I seem to talk a lot to complete strangers and I don't even have alcohol in my system. We eventually all went in to this room with a big table and chairs, I unfortunately sat opposite Krispy Kreme doughnuts which was the not the best idea ever. The game was really fun it's called Style Boutique and I really enjoyed it, honestly I didn't want to give it back considering I'm a techno phobe. It was on Nintendo 3DS so it was pretty easy to operate, as I'm used to the very first edition that came out (well when it came out in pink). We even got interviewed during it to see how we liked the game etc, It's odd how last night I found it so easy to talk to strangers (what’s happening to me??) Overall it was really good and I enjoyed myself, (I also enjoyed the goodie bag) and I now have a 3DS and Style Boutique on my Christmas list!!
To the outfit...
Now I had a bit of a saga when it came to picking my outfit for yesterday. I decided not to pre plan my outfit as I knew it wouldn't be as good as I would want it to look. So with 25 minutes to get dressed I decided to have a little sit down. Worst decision ever!! By the time I got upstairs I had developed a flaw which I cannot stand - indecision!! I really can't stand indecisive people, so you can see my dilemma when it came to picking an outfit. I wanted to use my new Forever 21 bag and wear my bowler hat, so I wanted to wear something that had a girly feel to it (it's the cold changing me). But no matter what I paired together I couldn't find something that ticked all the boxes. So after much indecision I came to the conclusion that I was going to miss my train, so I should just chuck on whatever I have in my hand at that moment. I grabbed a pair of tights and I knew exactly what I was going wear. Now I've worn this skirt in the same way but by adding a different hat or jacket. The skirt is really the statement piece of this outfit with the metallic colour; but I've added the camouflage jacket and spiked shoes to give it that alternative edge. I am wearing my new New Look Studded Slipper Shoes, which I bought a month ago in my big New Look order. Now because of the cold weather I've put off wearing them, but this outfit was perfect for them. They're not exactly comfortable at the moment (what new shoes are); but I'm going to keep at them until I've broken them in. I think I'm the only one who does this, but I have flats that I wear with tights and ones that I wear without. Yes I think I am the only one; but these shoes will be my tights ones as I think they will kill my bare feet.
O M G literally I've written more then I thought I would!!
It was 11 something this morning when I started; it’s now 14:02pm!!
I need to stop getting distracted but I'm going to blame Andre Rieu (I love him) instead.
I've got to think what to do now...sleep??
Don't mind if I do!!
