Take III

I've been suffering from a serious case of all round creative block, so strong that it took me a good twenty minutes to come up with a title, and I haven't blogged in ten days. Anyone else ever get this? It's like a never ending circle, because the more frustrated I get with myself, the more I struggle to write anything comprehensive. 

So instead, let's just talk about how good Barney is at posing, or what I'm wearing today. Or the fact that that it's only two weeks until the big day. Anyone that took A-Levels will know exactly what I'm talking about. Results day is looming, people.

 *curls up into a ball of self pity and denial* 

Back to the clothes, then. As much as I try to deny it, I will always be an ankle boots whenever and wherever kind of girl. So much so that I bought myself another pair of black ankle boots, the justification this time being 'I don't have a pair with a low heel that I could walk in all day'. Plus, they were only £15 from Primark. I would have picked them up in brown too, but they were out of my size. What can I say, a girl can never have too many ankle boots. 

The Long Weekend

Yesterday the weather was a beaut in the UK, so much so that I could actually have bare shoulders without feeling chilly. My mad fortnight is nearly over- one exam down, one to go this Tuesday! To say I'm tired is probably an understatement- revision is definitely taking it's toll and I'm very near saturation point. My brain is feeling slightly frazzled from all the German work as I write this. 

But anyway, enough about school. Here is what I would be wearing this long weekend, if I had anywhere exciting to go, and any reason to dress up. This shirt is so pretty that I had to venture 20 yards up the drive in search of flowers to continue the theme, leaving my usual spot at the front door behind. Also, Barney is back! He's slowly growing to be a cute little edition to the family - when he's not terrorizing the house and eating my favourite boots. Yep, that happened. I'm always going to miss Cassie, who made a guest appearance way back  here, but her and Barney are two completely different dogs, so it makes the change easier. 

This post is much deeper than I was expecting, so with that I'm off to find coffee, and then I'm back in my quiet revision corner. Yep, you know the one, it was looking so pretty in the sun the other day that as a form of procrastination, I insta-grammed a pic of it. 

Cut It Out

Rummaging through my wardrobe last week meant that I re-discovered this little pinafore. It makes a nice change to throw on a dress, rather than my usual jeans that I'm attached to like a comfort blanket. 

Right now I'm sat on the sofa editing this post, with a chocolate egg at my side, and the Formula One on tv. Yep, who knew, I can't get enough of the F1 this year. It's been a nice way to end my Easter break, and has helped distract me from the fact that mock exams are looming. 

Also, a question: can I still get away with wearing a darkish lipstick, even though it's Spring? To me, Spring calls for nudes, brights, and peachy-pinks, but this outfit was just screaming a red lip to me. Got any thoughts?
