Hey Everyone!!
How are we all??
Good??
Brilliant!!
I'm in an odd mood this weekend, one minute I'm a ball of happiness the next I'm as moody as can be.
I had a mini breakdown yesterday over my laptop which is pushing me to the limit.
If any of you lovely people want to get me a Christmas present; a new laptop would much appreciated.
I have work tomorrow as well so my mood won't be improving.
Typical isn't it!!
Anyway...
Just a quick post today!!
This was me on Thursday when I popped in to town to do a bit of street style.
Now as I mentioned yesterday I've been given a street style project; which is something that I've always wanted to do but never got round to it. Little did I realise how hard it is!! I constantly read Facehunter and The Sartoralist, but I always think leave it to the professionals. I will admit I do like a challenge, but I didn't realise how much of a challenge it would be! I was definitely nervous about going up to complete strangers; I'm used to talking to people when I'm behind a till like a comfort blanket. Being completely isolated without any help or comfort blanket it's certainly hard. I was tongue tied for the first half of being in town because I didn't know what to do; but when I saw my work colleague Hollie I begged her to do me this favour. Thankfully she said yes and I felt much better after that. I did get one rejection; but after popping in to work and having a chat with a colleague I felt ready. I did manage to snap 4 people but thankfully 3 of them were in one group. I felt confident after making a start and people being up for having their pic taken. I did take a short break and tried on a pair of the Jeffrey Campbell Spiked Lita; which O M G FIT!!! YAYAYAY!!! I honestly couldn't believe it!! Usually when I fall in love with a pair of shoes they never do my size, so you can imagine my surprise and elation when they did. I went up to the shop assistant and said 'you've made me a very happy girl'. I completely forgot how dark it gets and by that time I was due to meet my Mum it was too dark for more photos. We rendezvoused in Primark, where my Mum had mentioned that she treated me to a pair of long leather gloves. I did pick up a grey high/low hem top, a grey marl midi dress, Christmas cards, tights and socks. I'm stocked up for Christmas now!!
To the outfit...
Now I'm in a dilemma. 
You see my Warehouse trousers have gone in the wash, so I need to come up with new outfits. So I thought this is an excuse to bust out the maxi dress. I was originally going to go for my usual H&M black one; but I thought no I would add a bit of colour (even if it is dark grey). I picked this dress up from a charity shop ages ago but I've only worn it the once (here). But I don't know why because it's a nice length, really long sleeves and nice round neck. I decided that I would layer up this day because it's FREEZING outside. I know this H&M jumper is soooooooo unflattering; but I absolutely love it cause it keeps me warm. I'm wearing my new H&M scarab necklace which I picked up in the sale for £4!! I'm in love with this necklace I've wanted it for a while; but couldn't bring myself to pay £7.99 which is an alright price. But when I went on to the website after the sale had started and saw it was only £4; I knew that I was meant to have it and that it had to be mine. I will definitely be wearing it tomorrow for work. I wore my cosmic trainers to add that little bit of colour.
I'm quite tired today and yet I only work up at quarter to one I think.
I managed to publish my haul video, which is currently being uploaded to YouTube!!
I know now I need a new laptop STAT; but for now my useless machine will just have to do.
I'm so odd...
