Ack, sorry about the hideous mosquito bites...apparently there is something about me that mosquitoes just can't get enough of since I'm the only one that ever gets bitten. I wasn't sure about posting this outfit as it's quite bland...but whatever. I wore this to get some quick Japanese food after a long day of research so I just put on my favorite flashy skirt with my favorite flashy blouse. I currently have no money to buy new clothes as it's all being spent on apartment deposits, textbooks and study aids. Rent and books?!? Who needs higher education or a place to live anyway? Speaking of "old" clothes, I often get a lot of emails asking me about if I could find the links to Asos or Topshop items I get. I have only shopped at Topshop during the clearance sales and this applies to Asos in most instances as well. So, if you can't find it on the site, chances are it's sold out a few seasons back. As much as I would love to buy in-season clothes every season, I can't afford to. Thus the investment on higher education instead of clothes, I suppose. ;)
I've been so annoyed with everything about life lately, including a particular incident where a lab teammate refused to respond to my emails asking if he finished the rest of the prelab (he said he was doing it) so I had to drop my research experiment to do so last minute right before the deadline. A simple "no I haven't" response would have meant I could have done it the night before. I must be turning into a crotchety old lady or something. Other things that annoy me are slightly more personal so I'll refrain from venting online ...I'll just amuse myself with funny snippets of South Park and THIS video on youtube for now...

  10. I love your blouse! The back is so interesting, and it looks great with the sequined skirt.
    I love that you're a clearance-shopper too, I'm in the same boat with having no money for full-priced stuff every season. Hooray for higher education! Haha.
    I'm sure your school and other problems will work themselves out soon! South Park is a good choice ;) Robot Chicken is hilarious too!

  15. Ah! I'm the only one in my family who ever gets bug bites even though I'm the only one who puts on bug repellent. It sucks! I love your skirt though, it's gorgeous! And I love the detailing of the back of your top. So chic!

  38. I have the same blouse in cream! Isn't the cutout back just lovely?

    I love it that you only buy clearance items on Topshop and ASOS. You're thrifty and fashionable. Honestly, I think prices of clothes here in the UK are so crazy, but thank God the sales are great (if you're quick enough).

    My bf works in a lab, too, so I understand how hard things can be if your fellow research colleauges aren't helpful grrr

  39. The back of this shirt = amazing

    and I should have said aril/may 2010. I started at the beginning - your style has evolved so much since then). I like both looks, each interesting and unique.

  41. Bland?! Gosh, I wish my bland outfits were this fabulous! I think your style is amazing. You are so ladylike and chic, and the fact that you wear a sequin skirt and platform heels to get Japanese takeaway is just delightful.
