Hold on to the ones who really care, in the end they'll be the only ones there

Jacket - Forever 21, Shirt - New Look, Skirt - H&M

A few days ago, I graduated from 6th form and it marked the end of seven long years at my school. I didn't cry like I expected to, mostly because it didn't feel like the end (I have to go back for exams and prom anyway). Our goodbyes were more like 'I'll see you at the maths exam!' or 'See you at the pub'. But even though I'll be seeing my friends again, how many times after that will I get to see them? I wonder who will be the ones I'll see get married or the ones I'll never speak to again. Things feel kind of strange and uncertain right now but I'm looking forward at what's to come.

For our last day most people dressed up in their old uniforms. I did have my tie which I wore during school, but I paired my shirt with my favourite pink skirt purely because I wanted to. After our big assembly and the balloon release some friends and I went to Wagamamas to celebrate, and we were also starving by this point. One of my best friends took this photo of me, someone who I met properly on the third day of our first year after we made the mistake of thinking we had to change for P.E., got separated from our class and then got slightly lost. (Caution: about to get cheesy) I remember as we were looking around for our classmates, she said 'Wait!' and I replied 'I'm not leaving you!'. Seven years later, she's still never getting rid of me.
I think it's going to be the little things like that I'll remember.

*Ahem* I suppose this is the part where I should explain myself. Since it's the last week and two days of school, we've been having a fancy dress week with different themes each day. Today was Superheroes/What you wanted to be when you grew up (it's pretty flexible). When I was around 6 years old I wanted to be a singer, so I put together this Robin Sparkles outfit. She's a fictional pop star from How I Met Your Mother, which I had to explain  to people a few times. However, some people did know who I was supposed to be! Two year 7s came up to me to being all "HIMYM!" Only problem is I can't let go of this outfit now and I might have to wear the jacket everyday.

If you don't watch the show, here's the clip of Robin revealing Robin Sparkles to her friends:

Off with your head!

Shirt - Primark, Skirt - Topshop, Necklace - Next

Bracelet - eBay

Happy Friday! Even though the bank holiday meant we all missed Monday my week still managed to drag on and refuse to end. Luckily it did as I was starting to become incapable of getting out of bed.

Anyway, this t-shirt has been getting compliments every time I've worn it, and every time I just say "Primark, men's section, £2". Not a bad bargain right? And I know everyone's a little sick of galaxy print now  but that doesn't mean it's stopped looking good. The shirt also has a picture of Manhattan and says NYC at the bottom which is the main reason I got it. And it was cheap. The skirt is proving itself to be a great wardrobe staple and I would wear it all the time if my capacity to get bored with things very quickly wasn't so huge. The bracelet was an eBay bargain and the ring was a gift from my friends.

Hello all! Oh and pinch, punch first day of the month etc. I'm in a very good mood after getting some good coursework grades and coming home to find Vogue waiting on the door mat. As you can see I'm pretty simple to please.
One thing that is looming is exams, however, and that means I should stop enjoying everything and devote every waking hour to revision. At least that's what school makes it seem like, I'm just sitting here happy blogging away. Although, I should probably study for that test tomorrow...

Ignoring that, this outfit is something I threw together in a rush before school one morning which turned out to be quite nice. Usually these rushes end up in me wearing something really plain or really mismatched, but this time things worked out well. I really like the layers on the skirt of the dress since it adds a nice detail. The shirt has a collar and contrasting sleeves so that automatically claims my affections. Blue on blue is a combination I've really been liking lately, partly because you can't mess it up if one blue is like denim. And forget everything you learnt in English: blue does not equal sad.
