A Bit of Effort

So I said I'd try to save some fun shoes right? Looks like easier said than done! I went to the gym on Tuesday straight from work and was lugging my gym wear and my computer around so that meant I had to go with a sporty look (the last photo - comfy converse-esque Office studded shoes and some skinny jeans to go with my Adidas originals gym bag - actually not a gym bag but rather an over-sized bowling bag or something but I like wearing it to the gym) but I tried a little harder with today's outfit:

Shoes saved: Asos Mr. Tweed lace-up flats
Where: today to work
Wearing: Mango jean jacket, J Crew skirt, George sweater, H&M fake fur stole, opaque tights, Zara Office City bag 

I recon that a fake fur stole jazzes up any outfit (except a sporty outfit - definitely would not have gone well with Tuesday's look) and I love tweed and fur together. It's like British glamor or something. So it was at least some effort today, no? I even wore some eye make-up though you probably can't tell. Stupid phone photos and all. But can't promise nicer pictures until the boy FINALLY fixes up the shoe room (it's taking ages!). Enough complaining though, let's talk shoes. These flats are very comfy and I love the tweed bits. They remind me a little of school girl shoes, all proper but with a fun twist in the form of tweed. They're from Asos and were a very easy save.

A Creative Day

 Today I received a coat that I auctioned and it well, it didn't really suit me too good. Instead of trying to sell it or give it away I decided to change it! I shortened it by loads and I also removed the sleeves. Now I have the prefect coat-vest to wear over leather jackets! I love it! (The collar of the coat is rabbit fur, but it's vintage so I don't feel that guilty. The coat was originally by desinger Tana Havlickova/HaTa design. Since I auctioned it really cheaply I wasn't too worried about ruining it. I'm so glad I braved this project and now have a lovely new addition in my closet.)

Here's how the coat looked before. It's great in theory but didn't suit me at all! (This photo is from the seller from the auction.)

 Speaking of getting that creative freak on, notice my quirky earrings. Yup, made by MsVeve. I think 8-12 year olds would love these. Anyways, today's been a long hard day and I'm now off to relax and enjoy dinner & a movie. Xox, MsVeve
