To make up for my laziness, I will instead coax you into forgiving me by posting stuff from my early days on Polyvore. Before I realised I could create crazy artsy stuff, I used Polyvore for its primary function: putting together outfits. My sister has managed to recreate her entire wardrobe on Polyvore sets, creating a 'Cher from Clueless' style online wardrobe.
I, on the other hand, found that tedious (half my clothes are from the North Laines. they don't have online sites to clip pics from), and opted to create outfits that I'd love to have.
Exhibit A:
For the last few days, the weather was being quite lovely and I was able to go about campus wearing this ensemble:
Items in this set:
JAMES PERSE WOMEN Agave Sulphur SUPIMA LONG TANK T-Shirts, $45
Forever21.com - Outerwear - 2053423296, $45
Charlotte Russe - Denim: See All: Yuki Skinny Jeans, $68
Converse All Star Chuck Taylor shoes, Converse All Star Chucks,..., $45
Donna Karan Double Zip Messenger bag, $295

Forever21.com - Outerwear - 2053423296, $45
Charlotte Russe - Denim: See All: Yuki Skinny Jeans, $68
Converse All Star Chuck Taylor shoes, Converse All Star Chucks,..., $45
Donna Karan Double Zip Messenger bag, $295
Skinny jeans with comfy shoes, long and soft cotton tank top that's jazzed up with a few accessories, a hat and a compulsory scarf to keep the chill out and my trusty Mac. A perfect, casual student look, right?
(Note: I own variations of all those items. Except the belt. I don't do belts).
But then came yesterday, and it started SNOWING. Again. Therefore Exhibit B came into place:
Items in this set:
Off Shoulder Stripe Button Top, $25
AllSaints | Womens Leathers Feathers Jacket, 205 GBP
Skirt with pleated tiers, 2,125 GBP
Fringed high boot, 660 GBP
Black Brogue Ankle Boot by Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti from..., $595
Off Shoulder Stripe Button Top, $25
AllSaints | Womens Leathers Feathers Jacket, 205 GBP
Skirt with pleated tiers, 2,125 GBP
Fringed high boot, 660 GBP
Black Brogue Ankle Boot by Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti from..., $595
Cold weather means I can get more creative: laced-up high boots to keep the ankles warm, skirt with pleated tiers (volume=warmth)and a black n white striped long sleeved top to add a touch of Tim Burton-ness to a freezing, drab, wintery afternoon.
(Note: More layers were involved. And I don't own a leather jacket).
I can't decide whether I want it to get summer-hot right now, or let it snow just a few more inches so I can play in the snow. To honest, I wouldn't mind if the snow settled. Just for a while. A short while.
For now, I'm gonna slip under the comfiest thing in the world: my duvet.
