Autumn Blues

I've been feeling really down recently, a typical symptom of being ill/having too much school work/it getting colder and unnecessarily windy but not so much so that I have to wear a coat and scarf so I end up cold yet seasonally-appropriate. Blogging always cheers me up though. This is just a short post, but in order to create a little bubble of optimism and positivity for everyone (including myself) I thought I'd include some of my favourite things to wear lately. My sister is being uncooperative so no full outfit photos but most of these are accessories anyway.



MY FAVOURITE SHOES. Also my school shoes (because wearing impractical-but-pretty shoes to school always makes my day better, even if it is damaging to my back apparently). They're all scuffed cos I'm bad at looking after my shoes but they go with nearly everything and make boring 'I'm-too-tired-to-get-dressed' outfits look exciting and like I've put effort into my wardrobe choices.



New earrings I got from a Rokit in Brick Lane this weekend. They're so cute! Haven't actually worn them out yet because they're kinda heavy to wear to school, and they look like the sort of earrings you save for an occasion.



Noodle soup ring with eggs in! Made this myself out of a ring blank and a keyring that my Dad got me ages ago from Hong Kong I think.

Drawing I did to express my angsty teenage feelings of being trapped by the education system:



Followed by drawing I did because I have a short angst span and prefer to think that things will always get better:

    you draw very well. i think your handmade ring is very clever, & i love the color of your nail polish! i'm fairly certain that many people at one time or another have felt trapped by the education system, including those who work for/in it. don't lose hope.

    Your drawings are awesome! I once spent 6 months at a prep school and would watch the video for "Another Brick In The Wall" every night, envisioning myself starting a similar riot at my school (ha, yeah right). ;)

    Love your ring, too! You're very creative. :)

    AW I LOVE YOUR DRAWINGS. They are fun stuff. PLEASE POST MORE. PLEASEEE.

    And your school shoes are hilariously awesome. My school's dress code never would have allowed for it. But WAY FIERCE GIRL
