Seeing Stars


So the other day I was in BHS looking at their formal dresses for prom when I saw these shorts. Well, technically my wee sister saw these shorts. In my defence they were on sale, but I'm practically an adult and I bought clothes from the kids department.


I have to say that I was kind of surprised and worried that they fitted me; in fact these 14-15 years old shorts were slightly too baggy. I’m not sure if it is me, seeing as I'm underweight and have literally nothing in the way of hips, or if it’s just the fit. I remember the reason I had to move on to adults clothes when I was wee was because the kids clothes were getting too short but were really loose on me. I'm going to go with that theory or I'm going to just get worried.


In all honesty, I would probably shop from the kids section of some shops more if I fitted the stuff, especially for things like shorts. I was struggling last summer to find cheap shorts that were long enough to well, be considered shorts. Most of them were very skimpy – and as much as I don’t judge people for wearing them, I personally don’t do skimpy. So far this year, it doesn’t look that much better but for obvious reasons, the kids shorts are a lot longer. Who knows, maybe I’ll start getting in the way of buying kids clothes more. Just as long as no-one psychoanalyses this as nostalgia.


(I love my short hair so much right now)


Shopping in the men’s and kids section, what a rebel



All these pictures are a bit blurry because I was stupid and took them at late o’clock on a ridiculously slow shutter speed (to be fair it was only 9 pm). I'm also grinning like an idiot in all of them as I got someone to take them for me and I kept pulling funny poses while waiting for them to take the picture, then laughing at myself. I look so weird when I laugh too.


I'm wearing:
Top from H&M
Shorts from Tammy, BHS on sale for £4.20
Tights from Primark 3 pack for £3
Boots from Clarks I need to get more shoes
Necklace from Primark for £1.50
Watch from Asda (old)on sale for £6

Today I'm listening to:



 (p.s: sorry for being a lazy blogger lately, I don’t have much time on my hands between the history assignments, chemistry experiments, work and existential crises I'm supposed to be dealing with, I should pick up the pace again by May)

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 f...

A Storm in a Teacup

So the other day I was out shopping with my friend when I saw this dress and got a bit over excited. It was long enough to go past my knees! Being something like 5’10, dresses that are long enough on other people are always too short on me. So many of the dresses I have, I have to wear with leggings or even skinny jeans. So the fact this dress wasn’t just long enough, but went past my knees was a novelty. It’s really pretty too, these pictures don’t show the top of it but it has a 1940’s sort of feel to it. I can’t wait until the weather warms up and I can wear it with my arms out.    The iso is a bit high in some of these pictures as the sun was setting so half of them are a bit grainy. I didn’t realise this at the time and even though I kind of like the effect, it would have been better if they all looked the same. Oh well, I will just have to remember this for next time. I also went a bit mad in Primark and I have filmed a video on what I bought, wh...

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

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! I’m wearing Dress from Yumi on sale in House of Frazer for £30 Cardigan from Primark tights from Primark shoes from Primark on sale for £6 Bag from Accessories on sale for £6 Today I’m listening to: ...
