Back to Basics

I have a small confession to make. My 'no time for shopping' plan has seemingly...not worked.
It started well, until I bought a Ted Baker silk shirt in The Children's Society, after came the gloriously garish floral pleated maxi skirt in Motto, then I ordered an aubergine deco print midi skirt in the Topshop clearance (£15!) and today I took the final step. Mum-shopping.
In my defense, my purchases are perfectly justified- I no longer have my school uniform and a large percentage of my clothes are deemed by the 6th Form dress code "inappropriate".
I realised after my, what can only be termed a shopping spree, that I must have tuned in to my subconscious Gok Wan, as what I have is a totally interchangeable capsule wardrobe! There are all the classic staple items that I probably should have had already- a white T-Shirt, Black cami, Denim shirt etc. And what is more I did the whole shop in too shops- Topshop (naturally) and Mango- my new favourite highstreet shop! I am almost excited to go back to school now! Actually...maybe not... GCSEs are shockingly close and I can truthfully say that I have really been working. It is not enjoyable- especially with the beautiful weather that we are having at the moment but I am far too distractable to be able to work outside so I have sat at my desk. Most of the day, everyday. In the breaks, I have started to tidy my room. Not an easy thing and a task which I prefer to avoid. If you have seen the state of my room, you will understand.
I have made it my goal of the holiday to really really master the walking in sky high heels thing. Yes I can walk in them but if I need to run for the bus or something, could I make it?? As a result on the few occasions that I have actually left the house, it has not been in flat shoes (aside from going to the gym- I will admit to trainers for that) and it is not going badly! So far no trips/falls/slips/twists. On the contrary, I have been as graceful as I have ever been! Apart from one painful blister. Which was ironically from my trainers.
Right! Back to work I guess...
