I'm not miserable, it's just me face


Silk blouse; 50p; Gap via charity shop. Cardigan; mum's. Skirt (HELLO AGAIN); £30; American Apparel. Boots; £60 Topshop. Bracelet; H Samuel.

This is what I wore to sit in Costa for four hours reading "Villette" and to spill almond croissant down myself. Flakey. 
I'm just holding out for the end of this examination period so that I can go to Cambridge guilt-free this weekend, and home not long after. My railcard is my friend. It's odd to think that a few years ago it was an adventure to get the train ten minutes down the line to a town I knew well, now I travel across the country on a whim. That's "growing up" for you.

    You look comfy, I suppose you would have to be to sit for 4 hours. Good luck with the exams! I can't imagine traevlling across the country by train, probably cause the trains here suck and Australia's too big haha.

    you look lovely, and the outfit looks comfy. was it very windy? I couldnt imagine myself going across the country with train, it's not possible, thats what I get for living in a country with too many island. xx

    YES! I class growing up as being able to use public transport too. The first time I got a really short flight on my own I felt middle aged.
    I like this blouse and I'm slightly jealous that you managed to find it for 50p

    Great outfit, really like the lovely blue shade fo that skirt. I remember 3-4 years ago being too timid to even catch a bus by myself but now they're the highlight of my day. I love long journeys. Pop on the ole ipod and loose yourself looking out the window.

    How do make your hair to look so lovely? Is it naturally really curly, or just sort of wavy? Because my hair is really curly and it ends up in really tight ringlets that just don't look good at all, and your hair looks BEAUTIFUL! I love the way your skirt ties it all together, it's so great!

      I can't really give any "tips" when it comes to hair as this is how it goes naturally (and in the wind!). I don't brush it, so that might have something to do with it. And if it's in a particularly frizzy mood, I'll straighten the roots, if that makes sense...
