Hello my lovely readers,
I am once again hijacking the in-laws' wifi to bring you this post! I absolutely cannot wait for Sky to install our broadband; I am most definitely addicted to the internet, and I am not ashamed in the slightest!
Alas I did not actually return to university for this post - however, the new flat is situated in an area that looks very much like our old campus and moving in was so very similar to moving into halls four years ago as all our neighbours are our age and were helped by their parents! Now if only I could spend all day watching old Gossip Girl episodes like I used to...I am getting myself a library card though in a desperate attempt to recapture the old student spirit.
Anyway, to celebrate these new beginnings, I decided to put together an outfit with more than a little nostalgia. Now, I didn't blog for the first two years of uni, but if I had, you would have seen me in denim shorts A LOT. I basically lived in shorts and opaques for a long time, as I refused to wear jeans and still didn't feel totally comfortable in dresses. Eventually though, my faithful denim companions would always rip, tear, or just completely fall apart - and I discovered tea dresses. Really I have no need for shorts anymore, as I can't wear them for work and we don't really seem to "do" summer in the UK anymore! However, I am going somewhere delightfully hot in a few weeks' time and these high waisted lovelies from Next seemed ideal, so, out came eBay and in came the shorts!
Simple, yet comfy - what more could you ask for? I teamed these with some Converse lite I picked up on (you guessed it) eBay and spent the day skipping about feeling young and carefree again...until I remembered words like "mortgage" and "full-time work". Oh well!
Do you like nostalgic days too?
