If we took a holiday, took some time to celebrate

Hello again! Sorry, I know I said I'd post more, but I was really ill for the last week before I came back to Sheffield (like, not being able to stand without keeling over ill) and with essays and things I was just in over my head a bit, and didn't really have time to sort any posts out. But anyway, yeah, here I am posting now!! Woo!! 
I bought this skirt (and another one) from ASOS a couple of weeks ago in the sale. I love it! It's a really good length and just really comfortable to wear. I don't really know why I chose to mention those criteria first?! But, yeah, it's lovely. I don't have anything this kind of aqua green shade, but I think it will fit really well with all my other pastelly things.
I have to say, one of the main reasons I bought it is because the embroidery detail is so similar to the details in Louis Vuitton's Spring Summer 2012 collection. Also, buying summery things is my way of pretending that it is not actually winter? (Even though it's been snowing loads for the past two days, and one of my new hobbies is laughing at southerners who can't cope with the cold)

The green colour is so similar to the first look, and the embroidery is really similar (except slightly bigger/better) to the second.

Pretty aqua green again and beautiful feathery goodness I wish I could somehow work out how to sew onto my skirt.

~Me doing an awkward pose to show you the rest of my outfit~ I brought my big camera & remote control (which is out of batteries!? Sigh) to Sheffield but not my tripod, so outfit pictures may be really interestingly shot for a little while. I just thought my outfit was really cute today, kind of what a librarian from the 80s with a penchant for 50s skirts would wear if she didn't have a strict dress code. And also really liked pastels. (I think I just basically described myself? Good)
It's revision period (or whatever universities call it, I don't really know) right now, and I only have one exam so depending on what I'm up to I might be able to post a bit more! So far my revision schedule has consisted of me updating my drag queen Spotify playlist, lip syncing to Madonna & watching Peep Show right from series one, so I might be able to squeeze a post in somewhere. I have a list of things to show you/post about, so hopefully I can! (:

  8. I completely understand about being away. I'm often snowed under and have to temporarily sacrifice the blog. WOW! So jealous of that skirt and bummed out I didn't see it (because it's probably out of stock). And I love how you found the inspiration, and how well it echo's the Louis Vuitton's line. Good luck with all the revising! :D
