OOTD: Dressed for the Upper East Side

BLAZER: RIVER ISLAND SALE, £20. STRIPE TEE & SKIRT: BOTH ZARA, £9.99 & £4.99. ALLEGRA BOOTS: TOPSHOP, £75.

I've been sporting a Blake Lively inspired high ponytail the past couple of days. I never, ever wear my hair in a ponytail, but my hair was such a mess yesterday that I just decided to tie it up quickly as I was in a rush to get to uni. Strangely, I found I quite liked my hair up in a ponytail! Please excuse my derp face in the second photo, I gave up trying to take a nice photo when I realised my face just isn't made for cameras. I'm feeling a bit girly today, so I dressed to suit my mood (even if it isn't appropriate for the current freezing weather). I bought this blazer on a whim last year and I contemplated taking it back or selling it on for ages because it's a little too bright for me, but it does you good to be adventurous with your wardrobe now and again. After all, you could find out a particular look or colour suits you perfectly and you may have never considered trying it before.

Part of me wanted to dress a little preppier for the Upper East Side, so I would have no trouble fitting in amongst Blair's "minions". WHEN WILL I LEARN GOSSIP GIRL IS FICTION?! Answer: Never. I must admit though I've abandoned the blazer in favour of a big, chunky-knit jumper simply because it's too cold in my flat to be prancing around in what it essentially a summer jacket. Now, for an evening of drawing, watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch & burritos!



P.S. This was my 100th post (pointless fact!).
