i've taken to throwing half my hair up nowadays to keep my fringe off my face during the sweaty weather, and it's led to me once again embarking on the quest to grow out my fringe, as i do most years when the summer rolls by. will i achieve it this year, or will a fringe get cut back in once autumn nears? only time will tell, but i'm hoping that i persevere because i've slowly gotten used to my moon face and now don't so much mind having my forehead out, so a change will be warmly welcomed!

i picked this top up from a charity shop for just 99p which was an absolute steal. obviously the dogtooth print is fabulous, but the turtleneck and poofy sleeves were what really drew me to this little number because i haven't seen a top quite like it on the high street recently. as the outfit as a whole is extremely monochrome, i decided to throw on an old sunflower headband around my bun to add a bit of colour and make the outfit more season appropriate. i also wore my sloth brooch because of course my sloth enthusiast status has to be made apparent at any given opportunity, right?

hello everybody! i've neglected my blog a little over the last week due to the deadline madness that's taken over my life recently regarding university projects, however i'm back again this saturday with an outfit of the day and a little video i threw together for it! i edited the video back in november but never actually got around to publishing it, so please do excuse the fact that the video states it's a november ootd! i think i'm going to go back to publishing ootd posts once a week because i just no longer have the time to be taking enough outfit photos to warrant posting twice a week, so i send my apologies for that - who knows, maybe it'll make way for more illustration work? we'll see! hopefully i'll have lots to show you over the next couple of weeks anyway!

to quickly summarise, i picked these trousers up from a charity shop for a measly £1.50! i've always been a little bit in love with tweed, namely blazers, so i absolutely couldn't leave these in the charity shop despite the fact that they were a size 16 and required a little (lot) of d.i.y before they were at all wearable. i think i did a pretty good job of it in the end and i think the end result is pretty flattering - not bad for £1.50! have you recently picked up any charity shop bargains?
