i wore this out on bank holiday monday for my trip to whitby, and due to not having time to photograph it on the day, i thought i'd throw it back on yesterday to get a few snaps for today's post. i last wore this dress back in february teamed up with my black fur coat and super thick tights, and i think it's fair to say that it's made a pretty damn good transitional piece teamed up with my leather jacket and a pair of 15 denier tights now it's a bit warmer.

i'm a bit weird about all my accessories having to be the same colour, and because of this my brown bag here has been in hibernation for quite some time due to my lack of brown shoes. this all turned around with the purchase of these boots, making it easy to tie a brown bag and belt in with them due to the brown colour on the heel, but it also means i can opt for black accessories too if i fancy them, so altogether i think they were a pretty smart purchase!

i decided top nip into primark for the first time in a while last week, and for the most part i was thoroughly disappointed. hey, primark! i know midi is in at the minute, but do you have to make every single desirable dress and skirt midi length? it just doesn't work out well for a short gal like myself! all hope wasn't lost however as i left the store with this 3d flower cami top (as well as the shed load of tights i intended to buy in the first place) - cute, isn't it?!

i wore this outfit on saturday night when i went out for a meal and to the cinema with a group of friends, and the clashing of the 3d flowers with the gingham skirt and leather jacket help to toughen the top up a little bit so i can wear it without feeling so much of a six year old girl! throwing in a black floral crown and my trusty chunky boots helped to further toughen the outfit up a little, and overall i felt pretty good rocking my 'florals'.

here today in middlesbrough the weather has been absolutely glorious, and lo and behold because the sun's made an appearance, i've been otherwise occupied and have spent the majority of the day cooped up in my bedroom catching up on research work ready for my hand in on tuesday - boo! after dinner, i decided to change from my pyjamas, make myself somewhat presentable and take to our garden (if that's what you can call it) to catch 10 minutes of the sunshine and snap some outfit pics, too.

i was a little sceptical about taking pictures out back because, to put it frankly, it's a little bit disgusting; it's a tiny alleyway overgrown with weeds and strange, washed out paintings along one of the walls, but much to my surprise, it kind of worked! the lighting out back was brilliant, being light enough to make pictures clear, but not directly in the line of the sun that'd mean they were over exposed, so all in all a pretty successful endeavour that i'll probably attempt again at some point; you know, provided i can find time where my housemates are otherwise occupied so they don't walk into the kitchen to find my posing awkwardly for my camera and tripod... it's something that i've been caught doing a couple of times now, and non-bloggers just seem to find the concept a little bit odd, making for awkward explanations. sigh.
