It's Over!

Shirt - H&M, Pinafore - New Look

Hey everyone! I finished my exams so I can finally get back to blogging. They went pretty well overall, hopefully I'll get into the university I want to go to. But no more thinking about that until August when the results come out!

Even though I've officially completed sixth form, I'm dressed like a nine year old. I was unsure of the whole recent pinafore trend, however my mum found this one in the New Look sale for £7. You know how people say you shouldn't follow trends and only wear the ones you really like? Turns out I also follow trends if they're cheap. I paired it with a a shirt I got from H&M about two years ago which has a peter pan collar and a rabbit print, because if I'm going to be dressing like a kid I'm going all out.

Gold and Turquoise Nails

Hey everyone! I hope you're all having a better weekend than I am. My exams start on Tuesday so I've mostly been inside revising. On one of my breaks I decided to do my nails. I didn't really want to go into the exam hall with bare nails and I'm not completely sure why, I guess it's kind of a good luck charm thing. This is pretty similar to the colour scheme I went with for my GCSE exams, except that was green and gold as I was thinking Harrods. It ended up looking like moss, though. I think the turquoise goes much better.

I'm not sure when the next time I'll update will be but after my last exam on the 18th I'll have my freedom. Good luck to everyone else taking A2's (or any other exam for that matter) and I'll see you on the other side!

I'm waiting for you to say♪

Cardigan - H&M, Skirt - Somewhere in the Philippines

Forever21

Since I have to spend most of my time this month revising (and slowly losing the will to live), I don't really have a reason to get dressed up. However, blogging has been my favourite method of procrastination so I thought I'd share this little outfit. The skirt is quite simple, but the pleats, polka dots and slight mullet hemline make it interesting enough to be the focal point of an outfit. I paired it with some basics and then added the moustache necklace because,well, everything calls for a moustache necklace!

In other news, I finally own a floor length mirror! How I managed to make it fit in my small room I don't know, but I'm so pleased I don't have to stand on my tiptoes to try and see the bottom half of my outfit in our bathroom mirror any more. The picture I took of it is angled to avoid showing you the mess in my room. Half my floor is just books, bags and sheets of paper. Summer please come quickly and end these exams.

Jacket - Forever 21, Shirt - New Look, Skirt - H&M

A few days ago, I graduated from 6th form and it marked the end of seven long years at my school. I didn't cry like I expected to, mostly because it didn't feel like the end (I have to go back for exams and prom anyway). Our goodbyes were more like 'I'll see you at the maths exam!' or 'See you at the pub'. But even though I'll be seeing my friends again, how many times after that will I get to see them? I wonder who will be the ones I'll see get married or the ones I'll never speak to again. Things feel kind of strange and uncertain right now but I'm looking forward at what's to come.

For our last day most people dressed up in their old uniforms. I did have my tie which I wore during school, but I paired my shirt with my favourite pink skirt purely because I wanted to. After our big assembly and the balloon release some friends and I went to Wagamamas to celebrate, and we were also starving by this point. One of my best friends took this photo of me, someone who I met properly on the third day of our first year after we made the mistake of thinking we had to change for P.E., got separated from our class and then got slightly lost. (Caution: about to get cheesy) I remember as we were looking around for our classmates, she said 'Wait!' and I replied 'I'm not leaving you!'. Seven years later, she's still never getting rid of me.
I think it's going to be the little things like that I'll remember.
