Here is a song & some devil horns for the thousands of people demonstrating against education cuts in London today. I would be there but I have physics & mixed feelings (another band name?). Mixed feelings because I feel like there are bigger issues than university fees, like the widening in the gap between rich & poor or the taking away of funding that goes directly to students (EMA) in favor of 'premiums' that are distributed evenly throughout the school system regardless of area or pupil diversity.
But hey. Here's something for everyone: TUMBLEWEED. A zine created by the wonderfully talented Samantha of Scribbles, Ink, and Thrown Out Pages. The cover alone is stunning & I'm sure the interior will not let us down. Not that I'm bias because my work is in it or anything...
Oh & I know I have posted this jumper & this skirt before but as I am a real person (who sold a lot of her clothes at the beginning of the year) I wear the same things more than once. This is the first time though, that I have worn them together, in my hall.
So there.
oh my godness
ReplyDeleteyou're amazing
I really love the pictures
(love your blog)
xx
I do agree with you that university fees are not the main issue, but I also think that it is the most likely aspect of all this economic upheaval to get enough attention to actually do something about it. So I don't know. But any protests against the whole new economic system are a positive thing I suppose. (I only wish I was as capable of articulating my point as you.. sorry for rambling)
ReplyDeleteAnd that's a lovely window.
Oh, I totally forgot about the Adidas shoes with wings on them. They were horrible. Haha. I love your whole outfit, especially that jumper. I need to get myself some more rings :) x
ReplyDeleteGreat pics and no worries, I wear clothing more than once, too!
ReplyDeletenew header and lovely sweaters! (NOT a band name)
ReplyDeleteSamantha's zine looks fabulous, I know I follow her blog but I've been so aloof these days that I didn't even know she was pulling out a zine! Inspiring!
And your last paragraph made me LOL :)
That jumper is amazing and i smiled greatly when i pressed that play button for the song, hehe ;) xxxx
ReplyDeletehahaha "I know I have posted this jumper & this skirt before but as I am a real person (who sold a lot of her clothes at the beginning of the year) I wear the same things more than once"
ReplyDeleteGood work X
I wouldn't normally like that skirt particularly but I think it really works in this outfit! The jumper is pure <3 and I own similar tights :)
ReplyDeleteEnough outfit comment; I had mixed feelings about the protest too, mainly because different reasons for opposing cuts get mixed together and I don't necessarily agree with many of them. It's so hard to be clear but concise.
I'm interested in the idea of limiting my wardrobe choices as I have far too many clothes. A friend is doing the 30 for 30, but I'm not sure I could force myself into doing washing regularly enough to make it work!
