I think this is possibly the most high street outfit I’ve worn in a while. I spent the weekend pretty much in my pajamas, which I loathe because I feel unproductive and depressed. So, today I got almost all day off from school and decided I would actually dress up a bit. It makes me feel so much better! Does anyone else find this?

• Black t-shirt: dorothy perkins
• Black cardigan: asda
• Patterned dress: laura for topshop (sale purchase ages ago)
• Black ribbed tights: beatties
• Black boots: vintage shop
• Grey scarf: h&m
• Bag: hand-me-down (usually used as my laptop bag)
• Earrings (hidden): gift

I ventured to the library this afternoon to return some overdue books and get some new ones. There is nothing better than engrossing yourself in a good book! On my way back to my house, I stopped by a charity shop and spotted this faux fur coat. I was kind of torn between getting it because it’s not really my style. Then I remembered I was eyeing up a similar one in t.k.maxx the other day which was about £30 more expensive, so naturally this one won out.

I really like it, but I’m still a bit iffy about it on me. So, it may well appear in the shop when we finally open. Incidentally, following yesterdays post, I think I secured a possible photo-shoot location! I am going to check it out at the weekend though.

Anyway, I am orrf to have a cup of tea now. Hope you’re having a good monday!

P.S. A tip for thrifters out there - do not put your hands into the pocket of a garment! I almost got stabbed with a compass today and that would not have been fun.
