OOTD: All Black

Somehow all the clothes that felt good today were black. 

I'm not sure why, but there you go. 

Dress: Republic, Shoes: Hush Puppies, Brooch: Gingerpickle, Earrings: Vintage

The dress actually has a cool cut-out back which makes it a bit more interesting, but obviously I forgot to take a photo of that. >_<

I am finding it really hard to take photos of myself. My glasses reflect light from windows (argh!), my face looks blotchy, my poses are awkward and I feel pudgy. In short, camera does not love me. Nothing like cold hard evidence to inspire gym sessions and healthy eating, right?

I don't know what happens to me in photos, I always have the weirdest expressions...

I am so incredibly frustrated with Aberdeen weather. I wake up nearly every morning to bright sunshine, but by the time I've had breakfast, showered and dressed, the sky is covered with dark clouds. The rapid changes of bright sunshine and dark clouds continue throughout the day, ensuring that after the initial ballet flats and a dress excursion outside (which will inevitably end in chattering teeth), you will revert back to boots and a heavier coat — because it might rain any second.

In fact, it just started absolute pouring when I had taken these pictures — and I had a lecture to go to. So I arrived to the lecture with wet feet and frizzy hair. Currently I just want to stay in my room with a warm cup of tea and a pile of books, but sadly, I have the leave my warm and dry sanctuary yet again and brave the torrents.

Until next time,
