Office Wear

I did a 4 week placement in an office to get some work experience. It wasn't great I did nearly walk away after the first week as I wasn't gaining anything from it since there was nothing for me to do. But I thought I might as well stick with it hopefully it'll get better. Luckily I did cos on the second week I had company! Bukunmi was on placement with me for the rest of the placement so I wasn't alone & did make it a lot more enjoyable even when some of the tasks we were given were crap at least we had each other.

Some of the staff we kinda treating us as their own personal assistant to do all the rubbish tasks they didn't want to do themselves. But most of them were really nice.

These are some of the outfits I wore to work. It was a pretty casual office you didn't have to be suited & booted but just smart no jeans, t-shirts, shorts the usual.

Christmas Shopping...

Well sort of...

I attempted to do some "Christmas shopping" & do some Christmas/new years/new wardrobe clothe shopping too as I actually had a day off work today & I finished uni last Tuesday! I was quite brave venturing into town with all the other crazy last minute people.

I'm rubbish at buying presents I just don't know what to buy for people well I kinda do have some sort of an idea of what I want to buy but they don't always exist & unlikely to have the budget for it either! Same with me wanting new clothes. I have the same issue every year unable to find Christmas clothes as all the clothes are rubbish!

Topshop Knitted Woven Skirt Dress £70

Leather Jacket - Matalan

Wooly Cardi - Gap

Vintage Denim Shirt - Levi's from Oxfam

Studded Belt - Forever 21

Black Skater Skirt - Internacionle Kids

Leather cut out ankle boots - Zara

The first shop I went to was Miss Selfridge which is under Topshop was rubbish so went up to Topshop which was also rubbish but there was some stuff I thought I'd try on then make my mind up but they didn't seem to have anything in my size left! I tried this woven pleated skirt peter pan collar dress on but it's £70!! It's a big on me as it's a size S which is a US 4-6 I need an XS. It's something different but handwash only which I'm not fan of!

Then went to H&M, on the way out I spotted this black leather skirt that had a 50% sticker on it in my size!! I touched it & realised straight away it was real leather! So went straight to the changing room to try it on. It was £34.99 reduced from £69.99 which is a bargain since most shops like Topshop/River Island have faux leather skirts for that price! I've been wanting a leather skirt for ages as well & of course wanted a real one but could never afford one!

I went to all the usual shops Urban, Zara, Pull & Bear, RI, New Look, Internacionale & couldn't find a nice top I could wear my leather skirt with (I know I can wear anything but there just wasn't anything that I liked!) I seen nice shirts but my shirt collection really doesn't need to be added too! 

I want a nice fluffy jumper, H&M had 2 but they were grey & navy. I want something more colourful! & no-where else had any nice ones :(

I got Holly's birthday presents so that's one less stress but only have of Kelly's Christmas present! She falls into the I know what I want to get her but can't find anything that matches it...

I signed up to John Lewis' free membership card & they send me vouchers to have free cake & tea/coffee! So I got a slice of carrot cake & a cup of tea to give my poor feet a little rest after the long day of wandering around. I then had to get the bus back & get changed super quick & sprinted half way to the gym to try make it in time to pilate's! I was shattered when I got there!

I didn't realise till before that my skirt has a horrible hole & mark from where the security tag was! I should've noticed it earlier, I would have asked to get another 10% off it but now I don't know what to do, as it was the last one & I do love it! Just have to take it in tomorrow & see what they say!

I'm in work for 2 days, then off for Holly's birthday celebrations, in 3 days & see Kelly on Sunday as she's back from America! Off Eve & Christmas day then in everyday! Hopefully work keep me on but I won't find out till the week after Christmas if I do. I'm not expecting too much just in case they do even though I should be no1 choice being the first temp & I got the bus all the way home yesterday with my manger after a gruelling 9.5 12-9:30pm shift! It actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting as he's really camp & nice, think he's 23 since he's just graduated as well but I'll keep you updated!

Helloooo! :-)

Black long sleeve top - Primark
White Hi-Top Converse - Mum bought from Hong Kong last year
Wooly cardi - Gap sale (2/3 years ago)
 Studded leather jacket - Matalan (2 years ago)
Bag - Marc B, Bought from Topshop Liverpool

Just some photos from my random day out in Liverpool today. Which Me & Danielle like to do when we're off Uni! Danielle did a bit of shopping in town, she bought 2 rolls of wrapping paper which she had to carry round all day which was a pain cos it wouldn't fit in her bag & she just didn't know what to do with them! She kept dropping them & knocking things off the shelves in stores :') 

While we were at the Albert Dock we went into an old war house we didn't even know existed, that we could go in, was interesting. We went into the Martime Museum to the "seized" bit. Danielle's still scared of the weird dummy's they have in there, they are pretty scary like & we have bad memories from when we went with 6th form 2 years ago now!

I say this all the time I love Liverpool! It's my hometown which I've lived in all my life. I don't get why people who live here don't like it, it has pretty much everything you need & want! It's so nice, has some amazing buildings & places to visit! I would definitely recommend you visit it if you've never been before has loads of amazing tourist attractions too!

Danielle took some photos of my outfit, this is what I wore today...

I love my pinafore I bought like a month ago but only wore it today for the 1st time! Loving maroon at the moment it's a great Autumn/Winter colour definitely the new black! It has llama prints, looks very Chritmassy! :-)
