Maroon 5
Hmm. This outfit worked really well in my head, but in real life I'm just not loving it. This skirt is a bit of a nightmare too. It's kinda see-through so I wear an underskirt under it, and it's also way too big. As is the underskirt. So I kinda spend my day ensuring that the underskirt isn't bunched up too much and that they are both under the belt, and then I had my blouse to contend with too. I also, like Friday, think there's too much maroon going on. And finally, I had a bit of a jacket crisis. All of my coats are mid-thigh length, which would have left some skirt sticking out underneath. I tried my military jacket which just looked a bit funny, before finally going for my aviator jacket, which looked not perfect, but would get me from my house to the library. I am very thankful for the unseasonably warm weather!!
Mondays are rarely productive, and this one was no exception. I like to start my week on a Tuesday. On a Monday, I am always still tired from work on Saturday night. and my two-hour seminar always interrupts my study time, even though it represents half of my class time for the week. I was extra-tired today as dinner went on til 11.30pm last night- and I had dragged myself to the library yesterday afternoon, even if it was only for 3 hours. It was such a great night though- Beth made so much food (which was amazing!!) and I made brownies and we just talked and watched TV. Perfect Sunday night. Today I had a bit of a sleep-in (sleeping in til 9 is a lie-in for me) and before I knew it it was time for class. Once I'd had lunch and had tea with my friend Eve, I only managed about 3 hours of library time today. However, I did get to my dance class and find out it was cancelled, and even though I was gutted (advanced hip hop is my favourite dance class) it did mean I could come home an hour earlier, and ergo get to bed an hour earlier. Score.

My 9am class tomorrow is cancelled because my teacher is ill, but because I'm so cool I think I'm gonna try and hit the library for 9 instead. Tuesday is also the only night I don't dance so it's likely to be a pretty epic library sesh tomorrow. My Mum is coming to visit at the weekend though, so I'm trying to get as much done as I can so we can spend Saturday Christmas shopping, eat delicious food and going to the Christmas markets. Early-morning library means no outfit photos tomorrow though (it's too dark now when I get home, sad face), but I have a new (hopefully!) weekly feature which I'm going to start tomorrow, so keep your eye out for that!
Have a lovely evening guys!!

I love the polka-dot blouse! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteUgh I hate when outfits don't come together like I think they will in my head. When everything is fitting weirdly, it's so frustating!! But I am loving the marroon and light skirt together, such a wonderful combination
ReplyDeleteI really appreciated your comment on my post yesterday! I can't believe how rude people would be to create a false account to post mean comments! SO ridiculous.
