Cheap-Skate Fashion

So back when I was in Ireland I decided to be productive and take loads of pictures that I could use for my blog as right now I am supposed to be studying for my final exams. The “loads of pictures” ended up being only two posts worth. I admit that these aren’t the best pictures. Both the sun and the wind and sun were strong, and there wasn’t a lot of time. So these were the only ones that could be used. I find it funny how my style fluctuates between dresses and skirts to jeans and actual man’s clothes. This blog sees more of my girly side as I'm still working out how to wear men’s shirts and jumpers without looking, well masculine. I think my more tomboy side probably comes from my jealousy of men’s preppy styles and the nerdy t-shirts that you can find in the men’s section that don’t have slogans on them like “my boyfriend is a superhero”. Also it’s nice to be warm sometimes without having to wear a ton of layers as men’s clothes seems to be thicker and actu...

I may or may not have forgotten that I was supposed to post last week, so here is the post: So when I was in Northern Ireland the weather was perfect so I got a few pictures of my outfits. This dress reminded me of Donaghadee when I bought it and it was only right that I took pictures of it there. So I managed to get down to Donaghadee; the weather was lovely and we didn’t expect it to last that long, and I was about to start taking pictures with my DSLR when I noticed that I had very cleverly left my memory card at the house. So here are my improvised-with-my-phone-while-old-ladies-were-staring-at-me outfit pictures! When I was taking the pictures I kept finding more and more things that matched my dress. It was defiantly made for Donaghadee!

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 p...

This week was a busy week too. Its probably going to be like this untill may, mabye even june. Trust me to start something like this in the middle of my busiest year. Today I'm listing to: 

So the other day I saw this shirt in H&M and you know the way that sometimes you see an item of clothing and you can just know how you would wear it? Well that happened to me, and even though my cheap-skate tendencies were reluctant at the fact it was £20, I really wanted this shirt. To be fair, sort of smart-casual shirts are something that is missing from my wardrobe so really it was a smart buy. This outfit is vaguely based off something Clara Oswald wore in Doctor Who. Whoever styles the characters in the last 5 or so years of Doctor Who has amazing taste and I always get style envy while watching the show. Doctor Who may have had some dodgy storylines recently but at least it is pretty to look at! The exposure is a bit off in these pictures as I got someone to take them for me, but didn’t think to put it back on a pre-programed mode. I’ll need to train them up on all the dials. Basing my outfits of sci-fi characters; I’m such a nerd… ...

So this week sucked. If you follow me on instagram and thought the reason I hadn’t posted anything was because I had died or something. No, I'm very much alive. Things just all caught up with me this week and I wasn’t able to instagram my pictures. This may happen again in the next couple of months, so yeah. Just bear with me, I will eventually post everything. Today I'm listening to:

It’s weird how some weeks, I have taken a lot of pictures of me for this thing and others it’s just a lot of objects. There not really much to say about this week; it wasn’t as busy as I thought it would be but I still felt like I had a lot to do. Today I'm listening to:
