Well, I'm Seven Months Older...

Yes, I Admit It, I Have Neglected My Blog (And I Kinda Have No Other Excuse As I Did Have A VERY Long Summer) And You Guys Have Missed Some Mega-Cool (did i really just say that) Outfits!

... But I am BACK!
And a new Blog starts HERE!

I Have Renamed The Blog:
'My Socks Don't Match'

But The URL (Or Whatever Its Called) Remains The Same.

Hopefully, I Remain Blogging (Although I Do Have My January Exams Coming Up, And I Am Bogged-Down With UCAS And I Have History CourseWork, However I Will Conquer And Balance All These Out) And I Will Try And Get Some Pictures Up On Here As Well As A Title Picture!

Toodles,

"Seven Things You May Not Know About Me"... tag

Hey I've been tagged by the lovely April of the The Right Hypotenuse to pass on the "Seven Things You May Not Know About Me"...

The rule: if you get tagged, tag seven more people to do the same!

1) I like to sit upside down on my bed, on the trampoline, on a bench. (There's something about the blood rushing to your head)

2)I would love to be a clinical Psychologist when I grow up, meaning I will have to go through 6-8 years at university, to get my bachelors then my masters then my PhD.

3) I volunteer at St. Catherine's Hospice

4) I'm petrified of DOGS, bring on the spiders, snakes and creepy bugs I'll be fine. But bring a dog near me and I'll run for the hills.

5)I'm in love with BodyShop's Satsuma Body Butter... mmm yum

6)I have an OCD about time, meaning I'm at least 15 mins early for everything. This means there is time for any possible event to happen and I'll still be on time. I know its weird.

7) I carry everything in my handbag, side bag and even schoolbag. So I'm always prepared.
- There is:
  • paracetamol;
  • aspirin;
  • cough sweets;
  • chewing gum;
  • mini Vick's relief for stuffy noses;
  • mini Simple Derma eczema cream;
  • cherry lip balm;
  • contact lenses;
  • eye drops;
  • blotting paper encase of oil outbreak on my skin;
  • 1 plaster;
  • Ladies sanitary stuff;
  • hand wipes;
  • eyeliner;
  • and 2 safety pins encase a button falls off.
-Of course everything is mini in size so that it can fit in a tiny bag.
- I Know its weird but at least I am prepared.


I would love to tag all these lovlies

Cheap and CHIC

Nope, I'm not talking about Mochino's Cheap and Chic range.

Whilst flicking through a magazine, I came across a dress from ASOS.

Now this was a dress that basically could be a Doppelgänger for a dress i had recently bought in London's Oxford Street.
The only difference being my dress cost £12 from Primark whilst this dress was £45 from ASOS.







I also though I may as well have a go at the Summer's nautical theme, with another dress I had bought in Primark.

First it was a just a boring grey dress, with a kinda weird vest-y top that was attached to it. The dress was £9 from Primark.

But then I added a stripy red vest from H&M for £7.99

(I always go to H&M or TopShop for Stripes or patterned tops, as if its Primark it usually looks quite cheap and the pattern is usually wonky.)

After getting bored of the dress, I teamed the Red stripy top with a blue cropped cardigan and leggings.

Now I have to get back to re-organising this blog, and revising at the same time.

APOLOGIES for the weird focused and coloured photos, there is something up with my camera.

The last Emperor Exam

The heading may not make sense to many of you, But I shall explain.

Basically I just went through a hideous exam season, in which i personally feel that I am destined to fail. Anyway, my history exam was about China, Korea and Vietnam. During studying China, we learnt about their background, 4th may movement, leaders etc. Then for a "treat" we watched the film The Last Emperor ( about PuYi the last emperor of China blah blah blah), I actually found the film quite boring, but then I suddenly became interested and I now really like it. Which is why i called the heading the last emperor/exam, because i watched the film and my last exam has finished and destined me to fail and re-sit my whole year. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FASHION- just my life.

Anyway back to the other stuff i love. FASHION/ anything to do with clothes

I watch the news frequently and this week i saw a girl, whose bedroom is a complete and utter mess. She maintains that her bedroom is "organised clutter" (an oxymoron- i had an English exam) and that she mentally knows where everything is and how to locate it ( a mnemonic through method of loci-I also had a psychology exam).
I feel the same, my room is no where as manic as hers, however my wardrobe is.

Here it is, an "organised clutter":
There are folders and jewellery boxes on top and some gift wrap,
near the dressing mirror, there are hair products and other beauty products.
To the left, (falling out) is my casual, everyday/going out clothing
In the draws are socks and undies
and to the right is my school uniform.

However where everything is cluttered, it is my school uniform that is the most and freakishly well ordered.
My school uniform, is white shirts with black trousers/skirts/jeans. (we have to look respectable as if we are going to work)

As we wear something different everyday, there are many people in my school, including me who end up buying the same thing as somebody else. This is very annoying, and you hope when you go to school in the morning that no one is wearing what you have on.
Therefore showing my OCD side, I ordered my clothing into; colour order (i.e very white going into cream) then by basics, then what everybody else has that is identical to mine ,then what I frequently wear,then what I have never worn, then by season.

I use sticky labels to help me know where everything is, even though I mentally already know. I also use ribbons to separate and merge sections.
I find it strange that I don't care about the rest of my wardrobe, yet I frequently have to sort my school uniform side out. It is also strange that the other half of my school uniform is "neatly" folded underneath, yet I never order it i just throw it in there.
