skirt - Uniqlo / jumper - H&M / watch - Swatch
Eek. First foray in front of the camera. New-found respect for all fashion bloggers; outfit photos are really hard! Especially when there's winter lighting issues and you don't like your hair and you don't have a camera remote control so getting a good shot is a long & slow process. I think it's good to see the person behind the blog once in a while though, so here I am.
This skirt was a sales purchase from Uniqlo and it fits like a dream. It moves nicely as well - all kind of floaty and puffing out when I spin around in a circle. Block colours are the best - I'd love to replicate the wardrobe of The Hour's Bel Rowley. After lazing around in trousers for far too long I'm trying to make an effort to get back into tights, dresses and skirts, which is great until my legs start quivering with the cold.
Proper winter weather is fun but I'm relieved to get the feeling in my toes back. This week's plans include baking one hundred brownies (another commission), sketching (the cold snap took away all motivation to do anything but huddle), practising calligraphy with my new nibs, booking tickets to see the Manet exhibition, making marmalade with Seville oranges, and celebrating the end of January. What will you be getting up to?
