Pattern Shorts

Jumper: Ark, T-shirt: Topshop, Shorts: River Island

Those of you who know me know my obsession with patterned shorts. I have about a thousand pairs and wear them to death. This pair is relatively new and I love them. I would usually wear them in the evening but I have so little clothes at the moment I'm trying to dress things like this down. 

I wore this outfit to uni the other day - I much prefer the look with the jumper (it has super cute elbow patches which you can't see in the photo) but it was too hot. I really struggled with what top to wear - a plain black one seemed too dressy. Looking back I'm not a huge fan of the outfit but that's comes with experimenting. 

I'm aware you can't see my shoes in the pictures - I wore my now very battered and holey converse. I want to nab a new pair soon but they've changed the label to a really gross one so I'm a bit unsure about what to do! I love the old 'All Star' logo. I'm tempted to buy a pair of black vans with a white stripe but I hate the trainer look. I'm in a right shoe pickle at the moment! 

Summer in September

Jacket: Dorothy Perkins, Top: Urban Outftters, Shorts: Miss Selfridge, Tights: River Island, Shoes: Converse

I've not done an outfit post in a while - sorry! I've taken about a million photos but the lighting in my bedroom is so bad it's almost impossible to get a nice one. My university term started today, although I don't have any seminars until tomorrow. It's pretty exciting to have everyone back, but it's very bitter sweet as everyone is super aware it's our last year. 

I'm making the most of the it though. This week is Fresher's Week so I've been heading to the Student Union a lot which is my favourite place ever. I'll try and do some 'night out' outfit posts soon!

It was pretty muggy today, hence the crop top. The thick tights and leather jacket was a mistake. I popped onto campus really quickly and it was super busy with all the new freshers. I'm helping out Societies Fair tomorrow on the student newspaper stall which is something I'm really looking forward too. I'm excited to represent something I'm really proud to be a part of. 

New house!

Top and skirt: Urban Outfitters, Tights: Marks and Spencer, Shoes: Converse

So I've just moved into my student house for my third and final year of university *sob*. It's surprisingly hard to take pictures of myself in my room as it's quite small, but I'll try and make it work! Term doesn't start for another few weeks and my other housemates don't move in until then, so it's just me and another girl for the time being. 

I had to run a few errands today as, silly girl I am, I forgot to bring pillows. I got to use my bicycle though for the first time in three months which was just lovely. My bike is one of the things I miss most when I'm at home - I live at the top of a big hill so cycling is impossible when I'm in Oxford. It was super hot today so I changed from black tights to nude before I left the house, though I shouldn't have worn any it was so hot. Hopefully it will stay like this for a while, it would be nice to have a second summer whilst I'm at uni!

Denim Shorts

Sunglasses: Topshop, £16, Necklace: Miss Selfridge, £7, Crop top: Topshop, £10, Shorts: Urban Outfitters, Shoes: Converse

I felt sort of 80's throwback in this outfit, with the denim shorts and converse. I really liked it thought and felt great in it. I used to never, ever wear shorts, but about a year ago I bought my first pair of up cycled Levi's from Urban Outfitters and have never looked back. These were the second pair I bought as the first pair stretched and are far too big for me but I'm starting to think these will end up with the same fate. They fit me perfectly after a wash, but once I've worn them for a day they're really lose around my waist. It's such a shame as I'm completely besotted with them and hardly wear anything else!

The crop top is another summer purchase. Super cheap from Topshop and will go with everything. The fabric is a bit thicker than I anticipated (that's what you get for online shopping) but it hangs really well and I love it. I need to get a new pair of Converse, these have been to hell and back (they probably won't last another trip to my Student Union) so I'll probably buy another pair before I go back to university in September.
