Today marked the first Doomsday of my calendar: the dreaded return to university, rounded up to terror stages by the addition of a 5,000 word essay deadline and a dissertation meeting with my tutor who ever so slightly scares the living shit out of me (she’s coo’, though). I had to dash from Wigan back home to Lancaster, which included having to write up the referencing for my essay on a bus – surprised I still have a MacBook left (if you know Wigan, you’ll understand) and stupidly telling a chav to ‘eff off’ after he jumped in my path to scare me enroute to the bus stop. Surprised I still have a MacBook and a pulse. Anyway, drama was averted eventually and the day, whilst tiring, has been made exponentially better by this absolute bargain outfit.
Everything I’m wearing (necklace aside) comes from the Primark sales – the entire outfit came to TWELVE POUNDS. Yes. Twelve measly pounds. The jacket is proving an excellent purchase but there are many bloopers of me realising that you can fully see my bra through this dress with the flash on. Not sure whether that’s just the quality or something to do with the fact I’m wearing a bright white bra under a dark green dress – urrr.
I’ve got absolutely tonnes to be blogging about this week, so keep your eyes peeled.

Apologies for the utterly pants image quality on these: I didn’t have any time to take pictures before the sun went down, so these will have to do! Definitely need to get someone to start taking my pictures for me – I am fundamentally useless.
Love the floral jacket!
Thanks, me too! Need to get my new Zara coat before I start wearing this everyday and freezing to death… xo
Holy mother of Mary, 12 quid!!!! And you got to keep your Macbook. Score!! 🙂

I’m in the middle of writing my dissertation too – 8000 words.
Good luck! 😀

Elephant stories and more
Tell me that your dissertation is 8,000 words and that you haven’t already written 8,000 words. Please. I’m begging. xo
Wigan isn’t that bad! Some of us are nice 🙂
Haha, of course – some of my best friends are from Wigan. It can be awful sometimes though! xo
