Let the sunshine in

So the whole world seems to have watched the news thing, which comments of friends/college people have concluded in a) I look about 13 b) I look posh and c) it doesn't actually look much like me. Please random people of the blogging world do not believe the tv. It lies. (maybe)

But people in the midlands will know it was looovely and sunny today, and so I wore the brightest loose tshirt ever and high waisted shorts, which kinda felt like I was wearing a big nappy all day. I also wore pink earrings as summer will totally be all about clashing colours.

Speaking of colours, my shorts are now dyed to perfection.

It remains to be seen whether I will actually wear them out in public. Running to the corner shop to buy a magazine does not justify this, although it is a good way to test drive outfits.

I also found a mr happy cassette which was 25p in a charity shop. I had to buy it seems as it was so cheap and yellow and I already posted about tape belt buckles I'd seen. I cut a gold chain off a bag strap and threaded it though a wheel so I could wear it as a necklace.

And Kate Moss blah etc. A let down really. Sounds like nobody actually went for the huge warning of being murdered for the last size 10. It's less of a designed collection, more of a 'look like me' range, and I don't find her style that interesting at all. She can't live off skinny jeans and waistcoats for another 5 years. Plus if you walked down the street no one would ever notice you'd slept outside Topshop for a week to by jeans with a K stitched in.

sounds like you're becoming a celebrity!
people think i'm much younger then i am all the time, atleast i can get awayy with buying a child's ticket for the bus.

your dyed shorts look nice, i think you should make them more individual and embroider some pretty patterns or flowers on them.

i agree about the kate moss collection, all of it was the same as she wears, besides most of that stuff could be brought similar much cheaper somewhere else.

5 people got pulled off my bus today for not having a ticket! i wish i could still pay child and get away with it!
and fab idea about doing something to the shorts- ah the possibilities, now i have to decide! Maybe some heart buttons instead of the white ones hmmmm

Hello!!

Just a quick question (adore your site by the way!!!) I have some white bits and bobs, namely a short white gypsy skirt thing, and you have inspired me to dye it yellow (my favourite colour!)....my question to you is......what was the 'yellow' that you used? I dont want it too rich if you know what I mean....I like the sharpness of the yellow you've used....blimmin heck what am I babbling on about?!!??

Hope to hear from you soon. thanks Selina!!
