So sorry I haven't blogged lately. Everything else in my life seems to have fallen into oblivion at the moment due to university finals! I've been living what feels like 24/7 in the library for what seems like forever so I haven't really had much time to think about clothes or outfit posts lately. My library attire isn't worthy of outfit posts either, so I thought I'd save you the hassle and the horror of my 'exam period' get-up and (lack of) make-up!

Just a short post really. This is what I wore to the Cardiff University Media Awards a few weeks back. Somehow I lucked out and managed to find shoes that were a perfect match for the raspberry colour of the dress! Sheer coincidence, I swear! The dress is kind of 'standard' Coast. For the last few years Coast have been making variations of this dress and tweaking them for each season. I really love the length of it though. I always immediately go straight for short, body-con cuts but I think now that the weather is picking up (yay!) I'm going to start looking into trying some different lengths. I'd really love a high-waisted, sunshine yellow, 'chiffony' material skirt in this length to wear with my denim jacket (obviously not asking much with that tight specification)!

I'm not going to drone on tonight as I need to crack back down to revision but I promise, post-exams (JUNE 1ST!!), I'll be back on the blog-hype!

Big Love. As Always.

Wearing: Black chiffon blouse (Urban Outfitters), Brown leather shorts (Topshop), Beige/neutral coloured wedges (New Look), Blue ring (Topshop).

Listening to: Rudimental- Feel The Love (Ft. John Newman).

Revision for my law finals is well under-way and I am loving having this blog to take me away from the stresses of exams for a little while! Being able to pop into town and go shopping for things to feature in my outfit posts is always fun as well! I'm currently using shopping as my 'treat' incentive for working hard and, so far, it's working very well indeed!

So there are lots of flash sales and reduced bits and pieces flying around the high street at the moment and this gorgeous chiffon blouse is one of them! I fell in love with it straight away as I feel like it's a(nother) staple item that every girl should have in her wardrobe. So easy to throw on for lots of  different occasions! I especially like the 'cut-out' detail on the front and back of the shoulders, it makes it a little bit special and you feel like you're showing a little bit of skin. This makes it perfect to wear for day as well as evening! The added bonus is that the blouse was also in the sale! I think it was about £20 which I thought was a great find! You always know it's a good sale purchase if you looked at it when it was full-price!

Big Love. As Always.
