Brown and Black!

cardigan - handmedown

peter pan blouse - hypnotic but was in Topship

bodycon skirt - cheapshopintown

I like this outfit. It's like one of the outfits you can wear day and night and I just love getting my legs out and wearing skirts sometimes. My style is all button-up shirts and whatnot but with a little bit of girlish flair just so you don't get me mixed up with the lads and I pretty much think the whole outfit suits moi so I shall definitely be wearing more shorts and skirts and dresses and playsuits! 

I am going on a shopping spree next weeeeek! I know I've been banging on about it but Vintage Fair baby! I am like so excited but I don't know whether to go with my friends or not? If I go with them, I get all excited, buy everything, waste loads of money on food and get a little selfconscious if they don't like what I'm buying but if I don't...well I don't particularly mind. It'll be a bit lonesome but I just like to get things done and done properly, I'm a bit of a control freak like that. Like at school if we're set to do a team task, I'm normally the one who voices all the answers and eventhough, someone else is the leader, I always get my way somehow or another, though I like to be the leader but sort of feel bad when I'm dominating people because sometimes you can get so sensitive and whine to your mate and being in secondary school, there's just bound to be an argument over something silly like that. Gawsh that was a humungous sentence haha.

So, I'm guessing I'll mostly likely be going by myself but I'll remind my friends for good measure. I actually can't wait to do my first ever haul though just because I want to give my blog a bit more dimention and it'll be exciting for me and my followers/fellow bloggers! 

I think everyone is really into black and brown. I don't know how it got turned into a no-no. I think it's a bit like velvet which used to be a BIG no-no but as soon as those primark Sales got stuck in, we fell right in love with it and it's pretty much hot on trend for A/W11. I first got into it when I read Kayla Hadlington, probably one of the first blogs I ever started reading, actually it was! I was so in love with it from then and when I saw this top in hynotic, I nearly died and went to heaven. But having big buzzungas (I don't even think they're that big but obviously, my tops disagree) I had to return it twice and finally settled for a size 10. 

I used to be really self conscious about being a size 10 haha and used to buy everything in size 8 and convince myself that size 10 was such a baaad size. I think it's because everyone around me was quite slim though THANK GOD FOR THE HILLS! Sounds mad, right? I got comfy with my body from an episode of the hills? Yes, I can't remember what it was but yes, the hills saved my life and taught me that tight tops were not the most attractive of tops and how to dress for myself, not for the boys! Thank you Lauren Conrad! That reminds me that I need to stock up on her books for m big summer read. 

I would tell you more but I'm off to watch the next skins on 4od! 

What other fashion taboos are now hot on trend? 

Love,
