tartan tale

 
blouse: yayer
shorts: topshop
watch: michael kors
ring: primark
shoes: topshop
nails: nails inc porchester square*

Hello first outfit post of 2012! Really gloomy today so nice natural light is lacking. Tried to brighten the photos up as much as I could without totally ruining the quality. Not sure I did very well though. Rearranged my room a couple days ago so now it's a bit easier to take outfit pictures. Hopefully I'll get around to doing them more regularly now!

Ordered this shirt from Yayer the other day. Have never bought anything vintage before but I was going through my clothes the other day and found an old tartan shirt that no longer fitted me, so this was a suitable replacement! It's silk too which means it's super comfortable! Dug out my trusty high waisted denim shorts to pair with it, still haven't got around to changing the buttons though! Useless. Think the Christmas weight is filling them out though..

Did anyone make any resolutions? So far I've upped my water intake and threw out a lot of old stuff I don't need. Have also ordered some storage bits for under my bed so my room looks a bit neater! Will be trying to photograph some more clothes and shoes to put in the blogshop soon, there's just so much it makes me not want to bother. Eating healthier can wait till all the Christmas treats in the house have been consumed. Let's not talk about the fact that I ordered a pizza last night either to go with my Deathly Hallows marathon!

Going to the cinema a bit later with my boyfriend to see the new Sherlock Holmes film. Robert Downey Jr. is my #1 dreamboat crush, I'm not sure Lewis knows what he's in for. Has anyone seen it yet? Any good if so?

Just realised my watch is on the wrong date still! Probably from November.. d'oh!

    I went to see Sherlock Holmes last night and it was good, just not as good as the first one and as other people said it would be! Snap with Robert Downey Jr though! x

  17. Hiya! Could you do a post where you take a picture from the viewpoint of where you stand to take your photos? (Does that make sense?) I'm super nosy when it comes to seeing what peoples rooms look like!
