Today...

Was my first day as a PR Assistant and I can honestly say I've not used my brain this much for ages (probably my final exam at University if I'm totally honest) but I did love it. Amazing people, nice office, and I don't get all sweaty running up and down stairs all day fetching people 36 pairs of shoes in 95 various colours and sizes. I did miss the Office atmosphere and the music and jokes, but I just need to adapt to a new situation.

So, down to the important stuff....

Trousers from Topshop, shoes Office, shirt New Look. Well glad my hair got ruined on the way to work because of the stupid rain/drizzle. (not).

So yeah, good day, looking forward to tomorrow, but it's definitely going to take some getting used to. Oh and on the way home, I fell in love all over again....

This hat....

I've mentioned it once or twice on here before, but my god this is the hat to wear if you want to catch attention. Anybody would think I had a real life pink bear on my head the way people were staring. And both the man in the petrol station kiosk and the lady at the checkout in Marks & Spencers (I LOVE their extra chocolaty chocolate roll...) said they wanted to buy it off me...

Oh yeah and HI BLAZERS!

Tomorrow...

Is the first day of my new job. 

12 months as a PR Assistant at an Advertising Agency in Leicester.

I'm excited and nervous in equal measures. And I know I'm an organisational freak at the best of times, but tonight takes the biscuit. Hair (both real and fake....) is washed and dried, nails painted, bag packed, mum's made my lunchbox up and left it in the fridge (that's right, I am six years old again), clothes are ironed and hung up. I've also set three alarms. 

You can never me too careful.

One of those days...

Where nothing looks right. I'm really trying to ditch the hair extensions because they're too much hassle and costing me too much but it is not that easy. Im currently sat (extension-less) in my new blazers, grey baggy trousers from Urban Outfitters and some old strappy black top.
And I feel disgusting.
As a test, I put my extensions in and I felt fine. They're like some sort of comfort blanket wrapped around my head. I literally hate myself without them, and I think that is a shameful sentence. It's not like I'm a different person with them, I'm exactly the same person but with some synthetic hair attached to my own.
In fact, I can't remember the last time I went out with my hair down without them in.....

Probably New York and V festival (above) when I was having to much fun to even care!

So what is  it? The fact I get told I look like Amy Childs with them in (probably not, even though I do love her), or that they make everything I wear look more glamourous and girlie (quite helpful because my casual wardrobe somewhat resembles the articles I talked about in what I like a man to wear)? Or maybe it's because I feel plain and boring without them and nobody will notice me, I'll just fade into the background? All ridiculous reasons I admit, but I guess on some level they're all true.
So I guess I'll get my bum of this chair, clip them back in and put a smile on my face. I may be the same person I was before I had them in, but I'll feel a damn site better!!

Blazerssss...

I got them! Someone bought some back to Office Leicester that they'd bought at some other store, size 5, Ink coloured. Mine mine mine!

Not even got enough time in my life to say what these are going to go with. The answer to this is EVERYTHING. I even wore them at the dinner table whilst I ate my sausage and mash.
Dedication.

Checkmate....

I have a serious checked shirt obsession, this just shows my selected favourites...

Jeans and a t-shirt, over leggings, skinny tan waist belt, as a cover up on a night out, I just generally love them. Worn anyhow, anywhere, and with anything. But I won't lie, I'm getting a bit fed up with some of them. They've literally been worn to death...

Primark about two years ago, for about £6, and have had a lot more wear out of it than what I payed for it. Love wearing this one with dark, straight legged jeans turned up, brown brogues or sandals depending on the weather, belted with a tan skinny belt. 

But I've decided to freshen it up, and after seeing a really nice sleeveless checked shirt in Topshop, decided to do a "Gok" and take the sleeves off. Not sure how successful this will be considering my lack of sewing skills, but I'll let you know how it goes. 

What I Wore Today...

(well, yesterday)

Just for work, did a late shift so I knew there would be lots of running up and down the stairs so went for my comfy brown boots from Office (around £80) which do look battered now but still look good, I just claim thats how I wanted them to look! Two pairs of tights again (my silly obsession) and a baggy vest from H&M for £7.99 or something, I loved it so much I bought it in all four colours and I'm hoping they get them in more colours. I just threw a tan skinny waist belt over it, but they still look good not belted.
