lazy outfits & busy weeks

Last few shots taken before we moved house, just a super comfy outfit from last weekend!  We’ve had a mega busy week as you’d expect and were without internet for a couple of days.  Feels like I’ve been gone forever!  I’d stupidly imagined I’d have all my stuff unpacked in a couple of hours, next joke haha.  The majority of my day off college was spent lugging cardboard boxes and shifting furniture with my dad; a move wouldn’t be complete without that one wardrobe that just won’t fit through the door!  Must say that using a power drill is kinda fun. 😀

jumper: River Island | leggings and boots: Primark | skirt: H&M | hat: handmade

About as comfy cosy lazy as it gets outfit wise.  These boots were another of my weekend sale finds – reduced to a fiver at Primark is what we like to hear!  Sometimes their flimsier dolly shoe style flats can be quite lacking in durability, but I’ve usually found the boots to be reasonably long lasting.  We’ll see.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a more striking resemblance to ET, oh my days.  Weirdly stretches neck + startled eyes + hat perched on top of my head (don’t know why I forgot to pull it down) = just missing a bike and a sheet.  The hat’s one of my own designs from a couple of years ago, that I’ve recently started wearing quite a bit more again.  Evidently I can’t put hats on my head properly which explains why I haven’t always been a fan of them on me, but I’m wearing them nonetheless.  Gotta be done on bad hair days.

Selfie taking with an SLR – sans tripod and live view – isn’t easy haha!  The light inside was nice so I thought I’d have a go anyway ’cause new makeup and all.  I’ve raved about the Primark beauty range before and this time I’m wearing one of their nude lipsticks and a black eyeliner pencil on my waterline.  I stopped lining my waterline when I started wearing contacts (kinda scared of my eyes going completely black or something) but clever me lost one of my lenses!  Absolutely baffled me how I managed to blink one out without noticing, but I found it by the mirror where I take them out a few days later.  Pinched it out of my eye and flicked it over my shoulder without realising maybe?  I am such an idiot sometimes.  Back to glasses for now until I sort another pair out anyway, boo.

But yes, lipstick!  The nude isn’t quite as drying as the red but seems to have the same staying power, which is good as nude lipsticks usually seem to disappear in about 10 seconds.  It’s kind of a pinkish tone which I like too.  Their range isn’t massive but I’ve liked the couple that I’ve tried.

More talk of decorating my new room and all that jazz once I’ve shifted the empty boxes and finished doing it up – a few people mentioned on twitter that a room tour would be fun so I’m looking forward to making one!  For now, here’s an Instagram snap of my empty space.  I’m loving it here!

Hope you’re all having a great week!
