Winter Blues

The last few weeks have been quiet, I’m bored of winter and have gone into mini-hibernation. Rather than late nights out I’ve been having dinner at friend’s houses, going to art galleries, doing job applications, sleeping and FINALLY getting all my stuff from my ex-boyfriend’s flat (I miss my flat!). None of which has required much in the way of glam outfits, especially as it is still so cold.
Still, it’s starting to get lighter and fun things are coming up...

I really like bright colours, especially when it’s dark outside…who wants to be part of the general sea of dark colours? A lot of summer dresses look fine for cold days when worn with thick tights and a cardigan. The dress was £3.50 from Age Concern, it’s strapless but worn under a long sleeved top for decency and not dying of pneumonia. I bought the jacket back in summer, again from a local charity shop, the bag was bought on my recent trip to Macclesfield for £5.

Friend Helen is going to an indoor festival this weekend, one night has a Miami Vice theme, so she popped round to steal some stuff to wear. I’m a little short on white suits and Miami Vice is all about the men anyhow, so she had to settle for a general 80s theme. This fabulous (bought for a fancy dress party) sequinned jacket was bought from Ryan Vintage for a couple of pounds, the boots I’ve had for years. Googling for inspiration, I got all excited about harem pants – a look I think is way too good to keep for fancy dress.

I’m a loser…trying out outfits I’ll only be able to wear when it warms up, oh, three months from now. Suitably attired in cute apple print top bought for me by Helen from a charity shop and shoes, bought for me second hand from eBay by my friend Zoe. And yes, my room is in a shocking mess! I feel a bit embarrassed now…
