florals and oversized knits

wearing: & other stories skirt, car boot sale jumper

What's this? A blog post?! Sorry for my absence lately, I have been lazy and busy and had too much exam stress. I hate being an inconsistent blogger but GCSE's are important so I guess I have to compromise. Thankfully I've done my last public exam for this year and only have a few end-of-years next week. 

I don't know whether it's noticeable but since my last post I've had a bit of a chop. I was bored of my long hair and it was definitely too high maintenance for me. Despite coming out of the hairdressers disappointed (as ever), I'm actually a lot happier with my hair at this length.

I found this big jumper for 20p last Sunday at the car boot and despite it being far too oversized for me (I've actually kinda rolled it up here), I figured it deserved a place in my wardrobe. I paired it with this floral skirt from & Other Stories, which I bought because it reminded me of that Celine skirt that I saw on Alexa Chung. I never got around to featuring it since I bought it back in March but I think it goes perfectly with this jumper. 

After next week I can hopefully get back to normal blogging with no interruptions and next month I've got my summer holidays (woooohooo!!!) so I guess you'll be seeing a lot of me. 

Hope you're all doing well! 

P.S. Gatsby was amazing. I had to say it. I wish I went to one of his parties. 

Now I'm waiting patiently for Bling Ring - I love Sofia Coppola.

wearing: olenka skirt, h&m crop 

This skirt is without a doubt the best thing in my wardrobe. It's a handmade piece from Indonesian brand Olenka, which I got whilst I was there last month. Their stuff is really beautiful I showed you the skirt in my Vogue Festival post but never actually managed to get good enough photos for a full outfit post. Until now. I originally paired the skirt with an Asos shirt (which I still haven't shown yet) for Vogue Fest but I wore this to a party I went to last weekend and I've decided I quite like this too. 
This weekend was so lovely and sunny but good weather never lasts here in England, and it is super glum this morning. I've got my half-term break at the moment which means I can relax and catch up with school. Hope that those of you who have a break this week will enjoy yourselves and have a good rest!

wearing: pull & bear shirt, vintage bag, own-design skirt 

As you may or may not be able to tell from the pictures, I am a natural model. 

Kidding. I have no idea how to be normal in front of a camera and I think trying to take photos of this outfit got far too tedious for me. 

This skirt is another piece that I got made for me whilst in Jakarta; it was initially supposed to be a skater skirt but the lack of fabric meant that the seamstress had to turn it into an a-line. The print is totally crazy but I think this skirt is my favourite out of all the things that I had made for me. 

On a different note, I've gotten my Spanish exams over and done with and have only got a few more exams to go in the next month. AND my half-term break is only one week away. Definitely in need of a rest. Hopefully I can get back to blogging properly too. I really am quite awful with updating. 

nostalgia

Wearing: vintage Zara crop top, vintage dungarees, h&m bag

Just a quick few photos to show you what I wore today. I'm obsessed with this stupid little sparkly/holographic bag that I got for £3 yesterday and decided to pair it with my vintage dungarees. Couldn't help but channel my inner 3 year-old/90's style. 

I've mostly been enjoying the sunshine and also revising (sigh) for my Spanish exams coming up soon. Hope all of you living in England have been making the most of this lovely weather!
