Exams

I know these are only mock exams but I dont think I have ever been this tired in my life! Instead of boring you with details about GCSEs which I dont want to write and you dont want to read, I will get on to the silver lining of exams: Study Leave. With exams finishing at midday for me so far, I have been able to drink probably more Starbucks than is healthy, unintentionally spending money in charity shops and playing a truly embarrassing amount of "Lego Harry Potter" on the Wii. On one of my outings to Topshop I saw a really nice pair of denim dungarees. Now Ill be honest, dungarees can go either way- farmer or casual. Its a slim balance so instead of buying immediatily and not knowing what to do with them, Ive decided to show some restraint and wait until tomorrow. But it did get me thinking- if Im going to buy them I need to know how to wear them without looking like Im about to jump on my tractor.



When doing my standard procedure Style.com check up, I saw that dungarees were actually a trend this season and the likes of Ralph Lauren (image) and Jean Paul Gautier were sending them down the runway. What decided the buy for me was the mix with the sheer, girly blouse in Ralph Lauren- one of my favourite looks- mixing boyish and girly.

Moving on from the denim dungarees that will be stuck in my head until I get round to buying them, Another purchase I made was at my favourite local charity shop, The Children's Society. Every time I go in, I seem to come out with a significantly lighter purse... but I bought a very simple rose pink shift dress with big layered sleeves. When I found that it fitted me perfectly it put me in a very happy mood for the rest of the day, I even took the realization of a maths exam on Monday will relative grace! For once I dont need to alter or customize the dress because I think the simplicity works.

After exams, I think it could be time to ruthlessly sort out my wardrobe- a task that I dread in all its time consuming glory. The moment when you have just finished and you are looking at the wardrobe, now looking desolate and plain as apposed to its former glory pains me. But it must be done. My cousin would never forgive me if she didn't get her share of my wardrobe rejects! Okay. I really do need to get back to Maths revision, as painful as it is.
