Pretty Patterns

Casual as always, on a shopping trip to collect supplies for baking a wondered into my favourite local charity shop and discovered a bundle of floaty skirts for a whole pound each, so I coulndn’t resist and bought the lot. This is one of the skirts…I have fallen a little bit in love with the pattern. Not entirely sure that i can imagine an old lady wearing this skirt, the colour and pattern is a bit bright but I would like to think she is pretty cool. My style is developing a lot recently around layering and playing with patterns and colours, I am so enjoying experimenting, I blame my hair being chopped off. It was really funny today my dad walked into the kitchen and said to me what have you come dressed as, I love the fact that he never understands what I wear but at the same time he never really mocks me. 

This outfit is one of my new favourites, so comfy but at the same time I feel rather chic in it, its always such a nice feeling throwing together an outfit that feels so natural.

I’ve been a bit poorly today, I think I may have eaten something I am allergic to resulting in a day of painful bones, back ache and stomach pains, I fear it maybe chocolate, recently when I eat it I develop a migraine this is devastating news people…my staple diet might have to change ha! 

That will teach me to consume loads of melted chocolate whilst making rice crispy cakes… I went a little mad and made loads for everyone’s easter presents (lets hope they don’t read this)

We are all preparing ourselves tonight for my little brothers 21st Birthday tomorrow, I am so excited to give him his present and hug him. 

I just wanted to take the time to thank you all for your lovely comments on my last outfit post, even though I have recently developed a lot of confidence with my body,I still get that slight niggle of worry that someone might chip in and be negative I think that is slightly a natrual reaction when you put yourself out there, So i just wanted to say thank you for your kind words and truly how much each comment means to me

    I LOVE that you shop at charity shops too, more style bloggers should!(fyi i'm not a style blogger i'm a music blogger, but i appreciate a good charity shop spree)

    • April 4, 2013 / 4:07 pm

      i've always shopped at charity shops its just so much nicer to get something it is unlikely someone else will have 🙂 xx

    Such a lovely pattern on the skirt, what a bargain as well! This sounds totally cliche but ignore any negative comments, it's sad when people go to the effort to make bad comments and quite frankly they're not worth your time. Always remember – you are beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise xx

      thank you lovely the length is one of my favourite parts of the outfit 🙂 x

  20. April 1, 2013 / 10:39 pm

    Great mix of prints, I especially like the one on the cardigan. Also I love those boots, I'm pretty sure I've probably said this ten times already in previous posts, but I really do.

    I've been ill lately with very similar symptoms, I thought it might have been mild food poisoning but the Mothership informed me she knows a few people experiencing the same thing so it might be a bug…I don't know who I caught it off though in that case?! Hope you feel better soon either way!!

    I'm loving your outfit! The skirt really suits you. Where do you take your photos? I love the setting. Also, I spent most of my life allergic to chocolate, you just end up eating a lot of swedish fish and skittles. I hope you feel better!

    • April 4, 2013 / 4:18 pm
