Silky silky

*SKIP TO THE END TO SEE A SEXY SPANISH DANCER*

Ah the return of crappy editing! Since the weather has been below double digits today, I was not in the mood to freeze my arse off outside so I decided to take some pictures inside where the lighting is not great at all, hence the crappy editing and messy bedroom. Cold weather does mean that I can finally wear a hat without getting a headache from my head getting too hot. Also, I had my awesome friend MP today to help with the photograph taking, hence the cheesy smile.

Bowler hat - River Island, Silk shirt - mother's, trousers - not sure, brogues - M&S

Chain/fringe necklace - Accessorise, plain choker - H&M, yak necklace - from when I went on holiday to the Sichuan/Tibet border

I decided to pile another necklace again for these close ups, yet I forgot to retake the entire outfit pictures. I love the yak necklace so much as it reminds me of such a good holiday, but I never know what to wear it with. I love how it has Tibetan scripture on it and how ginormous and lethal it looks.

I also love this shirt and it's another one of my mum's old tops but this one is pretty much brand new. It's made out of this luxurious silk fabric that is so lightweight and soft on your skin. I love wearing it so much as the slightly over sized fit is great, but I hardly ever wear it out in case I ruin it. 

Also, just like to mention that my hair is NOT wonky, regardless of what it looks like in these images. My hair looks like it is much shorter on one side simply because I had started my french plait much higher up on one side, thus pulling up all the layers in my hair, making the resultant normal plait at the end shorter in length than on the other side, honest! I hate how thin my hair has gotten at the ends though -it's because I'm constantly cutting off the split ends.

I am literally so proud of this - wow, I waste so much time in my life.

With yesterday's outfit, I felt like I looked like a farmer, and today I think I am definitely conveying the Spanish flamenco dancer look. Hell yeah. I forgot how much I loved drawing on MS Paint. (click here for a drawing of a naked man)

Stay awesome,

P.S. I hope everyone is having a fab bank holiday weekend. I have done little to zero revision, even though the most important exams of my life so far are less than a week away.
P.P.S. A bank holiday means possibly three outfit posts in three days? Stay tuned to find out if this happens!

Since I didn't take Art GCSE, there aren't that many chances to express my own creativity. The good thing about half term, is that I have more time to do things that I normally wouldn't have to do - being creative is one of these things. It is quite a time consuming activity, so usually end up starting something and never finishing it. Today, however, I thought it was time I changed this and actually finished some of the "projects" that I have started in the past.

 

 I started drawing this on MS Paint on my laptop during a 14 hour plane journey to China last year, as I was honestly so bored. I just copied this model from my magazine very tediously using the touch pad. I never finished the rest of her body though, so I did that today. I made up the shoes, as I've lost the magazine I copied it from, but I think black and white brogues work quite well.

This is a pencil drawing of Daniel, which I started more than a year ago. It's of a photograph I took of him, but I have since then, lost it the image, so I just made up his clothes and half his hands.  I was going to do a background to it, but I got lazy and gave up. The more I look at it, the worse it is... I wasn't sure if I was going to even upload it, but oh well. I wish I was better at drawing.

So those are two things that I completed today. As I was searching them up, I came across these Tim Burton Mad Hatter inspired images that I did with MP. I'm actually happy with how they turned out, I really want to do something like that again - my face painting skills must be getting a bit rusty!

The Making Process

I forgot how epic the eyebrows were

Farewell!
