Sorry guys, I've had 2 days of work (in a row!) so I don't really have any excuse for the lack of posting, or decent posts shall we say, over the last few days. I've mainly just been getting Christmas stuff together, embroidering crows & suchlike, helping out with work around the house (we're trying to clear out our front room & attic) & well, seeing people & watching SLC Punk! & Shag which are both pretty hilarious in their own ways.
Now to explain the photos, which illustrate how slow I am on the uptake of certain trends. I know, I know, bloggers & fashion people everywhere have adopted the detachable collar as a way of adding a touch of the shirt about their outfits for a couple of years now (probably longer). But I never really got this, mainly because I'm not too huge on accessories (apart from rings, which are absent due to above tidying!). Anyway, I have a new love that is collars, cuffs & the bottom of a shirt poking out from beneath a deceptively cosy jumper. This extra bright green one I picked up last year in Paris is perfect because it means I get to revert to my default black disco pants. Very prim & proper I think you'll agree.
Um, what else? Oh yes, the school thing went really well! The kids were actually really nice & I had genuine wisdom to impart upon them. Although the job I was hoping to get out of it turns out to only be 2 days a week on extremely shitty pay, so no hopes of escaping the bookshop hell just yet. How are you guys getting on with all the Christmas stuff?
love it! xx

deceptively cozy? looks pretty damn outspokenly cozy! lovely shirt and i want disco pants all of a sudden?
ReplyDeletei've been drawn back into bookseller hell, although waterstone's in brussels has the advantage of having a NO UNIFORM policy and a lovely cast of quirky and adorable co-workers. december will be crazy busy, though; i hope my feet can take it :) any shoe advice?
loving the colour of the shirt poking out from underneath the jumper :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous jumper it contrasts really well with the green.
ReplyDeletei'm actually going for a similar job role at my uni, got a meeting tomorrow. did i mention? it's only part time again, not too sure on the hours, might be similar to yours. i'm going to be helping the first years of the course i studied.
ReplyDeletethe shirt is a top colour, i have one bright shirt, it's electric blue. any suggestions what to wear it with? maybe go for a jumper and black jeans. and as for the driving, i'm not just at the high way code, i'm working my way through the test questions book but i haven't done an online on yet.
