I Am Not A Robot.

Good evening everyone. I'm currently typing up a list of things to take to university with me, and my gosh I'm going to need to travel down in a lorry looking at how long my list is at the moment. And it's not even finished.

One thing I am certain is going to take up the most space is my clothes. My mum keeps telling me that all I'll need is a couple pair of jeans, a jumper and trainers as that's what she lived in. I don't even own any trainers. 

Cardigan: Dads

Shirt: Charity Shop

Shorts: Customised

Belt: Vintage 

This shirt is definitely something I'll be taking with me despite the fact that its missing a button and the top one only stays closed with the aid of a concealed safety pin. I have bought some buttons to replace these temperamental ones but just haven't got round to it yet. Like many things on my growing to do list.

These are most likely my most worn pair of shorts, so much so that they recently decided to give up on me and create two rips at the base (see right hand bum cheek). As a way to resurrect them I patched them up with some spare floral fabric which I then also applied to the opposite pocket just to tie the whole thing together. I think it adds a nice subtle feature to the shorts and gives them a new lease of life. 

Well for now. I have a feeling they're standing on their last legs.

My sister has been down in London with her boyfriend for the past few days so I've been spoilt by having the room to myself for a while as I unfortunately share a room (bummer, I know). However the indulgence is coming to an end as she comes back today which means I've had to clear the room of all my messy ongoing DIY projects.

I have documented some of my DIYs as I've gone along but they just seem either too unique to a specific item or just clumsy (I often make things up as I go along) to post them up on this here blog of mine. I did however manage to purchase some fabric dye for tie dying some bedding, so I'll hopefully be able to share with you the results and process with you.
 
In other news I finally started making some dreads! I've only made three so far right at the back of my head of which you can see a picture on my Tumblr. I'm really excited about making more, though I'm going to leave these for a week to see how they get on and such things before adding to them. 

Right I reckon that's enough from me. Here's a little something to sweeten up your ears:

Because Marina is a babe.

It's Been Hectic!

Apologies for being absent, my life has been so hectic lately. My mum broke her arm on Saturday at the 1940's weekend and went into hospital for surgery on Wednesday but they didn't operate till the next day. So I've been filling her shoes and playing general house keeper for the past week or so. Not only that but I had an exam yesterday as well as prom (I'll post about it later) so I really haven't had time to be taking pictures. 

Anyway, enough of a sob story! Here is an outfit I wore to school earlier in the week. I got told I look 'eccentric' and my mum said I looked silly. At the time I thought 'nah, I look ok' but on reflection I'm not too sure. I thought I'd post it anyway as even fashion bloggers like me (lolololol) don't get it right. I'm experimenting with my style more than ever right now so I'm bound to look like a dick at some point or another. But that's ok because at least I tired it. So I would love to encourage you to all be more experimental with your style and if you get it wrong, you get it wrong. At the end of the day they're just clothes.

T-Shirt: Boyfriend's

Belt: Vintage

Skirt: DIY 

 Cycling Shorts/ Leggings: DIY 

 

Although this outfit isn't great I am rather proud of the skirt. It's made out of a large piece of fabric we had lying around which I just sewed onto a length of elastic. However, the elastic did lose a bit of its stretchiness so its a bit big on me, woops. Also, my legs aren't actually that colour, I was wearing tight to 'test' them out for prom but I didn't even end up wearing them as it was so god damn hot!

I reckon that's all you're gonna get out of me today. I've got a few jobs to do as well as revision before heading off for a picnic with Ross.

I'd just like to say a big thank you to everyone who reads my posts and comments. Also to any new followers. You really are all so lovely!

 

Because Marina is lovely too.
