rewind

as paolo the-oh-so-lovely nutini says, can't we just rewind? i promised i'd be posting again in a couple of days, & that was quite a while ago. i'm sorrryyy! i've been ill & shiz & there's been work to do & a university UCAS night tonight & psychology revision to do & loads of art stuff & ARGHHHHHH!

to make up for not posting my newsy stuff, here's an outfit post to make up for it.

now, i was going to do a before & after thing with my school suit, but i forgot so you'll have to make do with me holding up my grey trousers, you can just pretend i'm wearing them, right?

so, i adapted this outfit to go to a universities thing my school was having (see rant above).

we didn't have to dress up or anything, but i didn't want to just go in my suit!

outfit details: skirt - vintage & customised, blouse - warehouse (same place as t'suit), cardigan - h&m, necklace - dolls & molls, flower - h&m, tights - primark, bracelets - gifts & made by me.

i actually quite like this outfit, it was really only put together so that i didn't have to change completely from my school outfit (yeah man, i'm real lazy), but i think it's quite cute. not for school, but for a job interview maybe? it's a bit too smart for me to wear in an everyday situation.

the light from my window kind of blocked out the pattern of my skirt in the photo, so here's a close-up. i bought this last march at a vintage fair for £4 - it went right down past my ankles! i wasn't sure what to do with it, but my mother is pretty much a sewing genius so she shortened it for me, changed the waistband & turned it into a high waisted skirt & changed the buttons.

overall result = pretty darn fabulous i think!

here's a close-up of the ruffles on my blouse too. it looks much better when ironed i assure you!

time for a change

i am so sick of my hair at the moment it's unreal.

the layers have all grown out & it keeps popping up into an annoying mushroom cloudy thing whenever i'm not alert.

i've booked an appointment at my hairdressers (with the only hairdresser that doesn't ruin hair, yes!) for next friday & i have decided to go for a rather dramatic(ish) new look. it's kind of like a curly mop thing that's all built up on top of my head, it looks better than it sounds honestly.

this is me getting steadily more annoyed with the state of my hair.

actually, it wasn't looking too bad at this point.

grrrr.

it's so unreliable.

am i blue?

yes.

i wasn't really feeling down today until about 20 minutes ago.

while trying to sort a (silly) argument out, i seem to have made it worse, although i'm not really sure how, sometimes people can just be a bit difficult & not willing to admit their wrongness. it is frustrating when people are like that though, & get angry for no reason, it's just daft & no one should have to put up with it. it's just plain rude not to reply when somebody makes the effort to sort an issue out.

things to cheer myself up with:

1) music. i'm thinking eddie cochran, buddy holly, jack johnson, maybe a bit of jimi hendrix. something with an upbeat cheery guitar anyways.

2) a bit of online browsing. seeing nice clothes always makes me happy, shallow as that may seem, and at the moment i'm quite addicted to ebay.

3) food. i can't really be bothered to get up at the moment, but when i can i will go & get some chocolatey sustenance.

4) positive thinking. quite an obvious solution really, but it's quite hard to do. it can be so easy to just get lost in a bad situation & get upset & angry, but it's good to remember that things won't always be this way & they will get better.

5) laughing. it's thursday, which means it's comedy night. mock the week followed by a bit of reaper, & then possibly the loop (i've seen it advertised, & it looks rather hilarious) should get rid of unhappiness.

sorry, for such a blue post but - in the words of eddie - i'm having a bit of a nervous breakdown.

blahhhh.

oh crikey, it's just been one of those days.

i don't like to fall out with people & it seems that recently i seem to have inadvertantly done that =/

fair? no, i don't think so.

cheering up is not always easy to do, but i have found that being sung oasis & 80s ballad songs over msn & watching a bit of scrubs works a treat. also, it doesn't hurt to try & sort things out, because at least then you can say you've tried.

peace out dears =)
