Days 2 and 3 were spent at work, where my uniform is black and white. This means that it’s going to be hard to avoid repetition with my work clothes, but we’ll see what I can do!

Do you recognise Day 2’s skirt? Yep, that’s the ankle length granny skirt that I got from the charity shop! Looks alright doesn’t it? The hem looks like it’s uneven at the front, it’s not in real life, honest! That’s a lot of gathering at the waist, making for a super pouffy skirt – sometimes I feel like a bit of a meringue though, but it’s fun for twirling! The top’s another charity shop bargain, doesn’t the ruffle remind you of the wonderful Coffee Date dress pattern? My headscarf is another amazing Lush recycled bottle knot wrap scarf, I’m utterly in love with them.

Today was a bit of a mad rush to get ready, and it was a bit of a panic finding a top. Never fear, I managed to find an old top of my Mum’s, panic over! I paired it with my self-stitched black pleated skirt – I have a feeling you’ll be seeing a lot of it! It’s such a comfortable skirt, I don’t know if I want to take it off!

Had to share my necklace too – Shottlebop is an innovative jewellery venture where, in their words, they ‘sell bottles with things in’. My necklace contains Mollification Serum, but you can have any concoction you like! Do check out their website, where you can order your own minature bottle on a chain.

It has to be said, I really can’t wait until my contact lenses can come back on the scene. I’ve been ordered to wear my glasses until next week because of an eye infection, and it’s driving me nuts. I’ve had to do Karate with my glasses on, sometimes going completely without, which has led to some special moments indeed.

I’ve been up to a bit more than just work these past two days though! Early this morning, my first article for Alternative Magazine Online went up!

    Hey! Ich bin über BurdyStyle auf deinen Blog gestolpert und als ich gesehen habe, dass du deutsch sprichst, wollte ich dir liebe Grüße da lassen. :)

    Self stitched September find’ ich echt was Feines, aber leider fehlt mir das Geld, um es für Stoffe auszugeben, ich trage die gleichen Bandshirts schon seit Jahren – nicht, dass ich daran was auszusetzen hätte. ;)
    Außerdem finde ich hier in der Nähe keine guten Second Hand Shops oder Flohmärkte, ich werde immer ganz neidisch, wenn ich amerikanische Blogs lese.

    Schönen restlichen Sonntag wünsch ich dir! :)

    I love the black/white ensembles you have put together. And, I scrolled down to read more and came across the post about Gladiator. Russell Crowe is on my short list of favorites and that movie was so fun to watch. Ok, Russell Crowe was fun to watch.
