duck eggs & lace

cardigan - topshop, dress - pull & bear, hat - h&m, boots - dune @ asos

... i appear to be wearing a dress. this almost never happens! i used to be a total dress maniac, but then i had a change of heart and realised wearing seperates is just a lot more fun. but this one just kinda grabbed me, and i've been looking for something creamy and lace for a while.

it's supposed to be 17c here in norwich tomorrow, which just makes no sense to me.. a week ago it was 0c! i'm not complaining, but england, make your mind up!

red/stripes

jumper - monki, shorts - h&m, boots & bag - topshop

firstly i'm going to apologise for not having posted in 2 weeks, that's probably the longest i've ever gone without posting. it's just been far too cold to even want to go outside, but it's getting warmer now (i hope) so i can hopefully get some more snaps soon.

this outfit is kinda french, i guess? but this jumper and shorts just go so well together. worn with some mega comfortable shiny chelsea boots.

snow & leather & stripes

jumper - mango @ asos, skirt - asos, boots - dune

pretty simple outfit for a snow day! obviously a coat was worn over this, but i whipped it off for these photos. snow also means a pair of knee-highs over tights. and i'm convinced snow makes me look even more pale...

so, i was tempted by another leather item... but it was also burgundy, and you guys know i have a soft spot for burgundy. plus it was 50% off, i just couldn't say no. well, i could, but i didn't want to!

down by the river

coat - warehouse @ asos, jumper - topshop boutique, skirt - f21, loafers, bag & hat - topshop, snood - h&m

reaaaally cold day down by the river in one of my favourite places in norwich. it's absolutely freezing here in england right now, and as much as i love layering i don't always love being so bundled up in scarves/gloves/jumpers that you can't move.

hurry up spring!

pink, leopard & stripes

jumper - monki, coat - asos, jeans - topshop, shoes - UO

i'm actually wearing jeans...! i don't know why i don't wear them more often, because they're mega comfortable and versatile. i managed to snag myself this lovely pink pair from topshop, i think they're the really popular pair that always sell out? i can see why, what a great colour! they'll go with so much, including these sort-of loafers that i bought ages ago but never found the perfect thing to match them with... search over!

polka pencil

jumper - pull&bear, skirt - river island @ asos, scarf - h&m (ooold), bag & hat - topshop

eek, a pencil skirt! i have to admit, i'm kind of afraid of these... i always feel as though you have to be either hip-less or have killer curves to look good in them, and i'm neither of those things. my middle-section will always be my least favourite, so i surprised myself by buying this skirt. but it's polka dot, so i had to. and i ordered a size up too, just to make sure there wouldn't be any tight clingy-ness. and i quite like it! it was really comfortable, but felt a bit like i was walking around with my knees tied together!

the blurry quality of these photos means my camera is well and truly done for. unless i could pass this kind of photo off as 'artsy'?

beady eye

cardigan, blouse, hat, bag & boots - topshop, skirt - UO

topshop overload again, somebody stop me. but just look at how fantastical this blouse is... beads galore in a lovely design, dark green and black (dream combo) and sheer black sleeves to mix it all up. i usually find the topshop sale to be a bit lacklustre, and usually all the good stuff is gone within 30 mins... so finding this little gem was a real YIPPEE moment.

thought i'd try the whole cardigan-over-the-shoulders thing, and i like it. makes things much more casual, even if it is in a kinda try-hard way.
