A Spring in my Step




So you may have noticed that I didn’t post at all last week. I was visiting family in Northern Ireland but it meant that I had no internet connection. I’ll have to do a longer roundup of my 365 day project sometime this week but I thought my outfit post was probably more urgent so I posted this first. To make up for my absence, I’m going to post some pictures up on my side blog because it is feeling pretty neglected. Also, if my editing skills allow it, there should be a video up on myYouTube channel soon. 

There is something I’ve noticed with spring. I don’t know if it’s to do with the workload from school from February to March or the fact decisions on what we do the next year happen in this time or if it’s just the lack of sunlight but I always feel really down between New Years and Easter. I can go from being slightly existential to being cheery again as soon as the days get longer and the flowers start to come out again. This year I even managed to pinpoint it to a couple of days after the clocks changed. Just as soon as I got used to waking up an hour earlier, I was fine.
I was originally going to take these pictures in the middle of a forest but I hadn’t thought it through enough and only 10 minutes down the road my shoes and jeans were caked in mud. So this was a kind of grubby take two.



I am really glad I am out of my flump though as I get disproportionally excited about things when I’m cheery. For example, I was in Sainsbury’s the other day and I saw these shoes. I seem to only own boots at the moment and was thinking about getting a pair of converse before the summer came into full swing. Really the only reason I haven’t done this yet was because I couldn’t decide if I wanted plain ones that would go with anything or be more individual and get a cool, bold pair that may look a bit too much with certain things. These silver shoes have kind of satisfied my urge to buy bold converse and have made the decision slightly easier. 


I need to stop gushing about clothes on this blog….


 I’m wearing
Plaid coat from Modcloth on sale for £19
Jumper from Next I got on eBay something like £5
High waisted jeans from Primark for £13 (I think)
Silver shoes from Sainsbury’s on sale for £8

Raccoons and Ringlets

After we went swimming the other day, I just let my hair dry naturally. This produced what has been dubbed as my “triangle hair”. My hair usually curls tighter when I leave it, but I’ve been straightening it a lot more often and it seems to have melted my hair or something because the last couple of times it was just straight frizz. The lighting is terrible in all these pictures so if I look a little red that’s why. The jumper I'm wearing is from the men’s section. I find that guy’s jumpers are a lot warmer and the neck-line is so high, you don’t need a scarf. In Primark specifically, the men’s jumpers seem to be less itchy and wash a lot better as they don’t shrink as badly. The styles are usually very similar to the woman’s and they seem to be in more muted colours which is something I particularly like.      I'm wearing: Jumper from Primark (they are  usually  £6 but I managed to get mine at the start of summer for £3.)

Writers block

So I haven’t posted in the last couple of weeks. I had everything ready for posting back however many Thursdays ago it was that I was supposed to post this except for the text. I had no idea what to write for it. I am the first to admit that I'm not very good at writing for this anyway. I’ve never been very good with non-fiction writing. It doesn’t come very easily to me and nothing interesting enough to write about ever happens to me. But ever since people I know in real life started reading this, I feel as though I should be better at this; and my technique for things I don’t think I'm very good at yet, put them off until last minute. One thing with not blogging as frequently as I promised is that even though I have had my hair short for over a month but I haven’t put any pictures up on here. I really like it; I'm even considering cutting it even shorter. I also want to dye it. I’ve never dyed all my hair a different colour; I had it dip-dyed r

M7974 at Ardoch Roman Fort

Last Autumn, I got a swatch of this lovely Atelier Brunette Viscose Crepe . At the time I was looking for a lining to a jacket (that I’m still working on) but it didn’t quite fit the bill. I absolutely loved the fabric though, so I kept the swatch. I had put off getting more to make a full garment because I didn’t trust myself to make something nice enough from it. At the time, I probably only sewed once a week for about 3 hours and the things I made were full of mistakes and dumb fabric choices. I’m going to stick some of these up on my blog at some point but even though I was proud of the fact I could make then, I didn’t really enjoy wearing the clothes enough to justify investing in nice fabric. Another issue was that I couldn’t decide on what to make from the fabric. I was jumping between a blouse or a wrap dress but none of my ideas felt perfect. I really liked the M7974 but I had it in my head that I only wanted to make view C in a light weight linen like fabric and
