Denim Shirt

Denim Shirt Topshop / Jewellery www.temporary-secretary.com 

You may have noticed from most of my outfit posts that I am obsessed with a pretty collars and neck ties. I've been online window shopping with Jaymie and Jemma for nice blouses and both girls found so many lovely ones (they have good taste!). There are lots of blouses with neck ties in high street shops. But for something quirky and different, how about this, from our fellow indie retailer Hero&Cape?  When they asked me to collaborate with them and design a T-Shirt for their opening collection, I jumped at the chance! Instead of illustrating a graphic for it, we came up with a clean design that was inspired by the style that I'm really in to at the moment. A cute Peter Pan collar graphic and a neck tie! On a T-Shirt! The T-shirt comes with a black bow neck tie brooch that I made for Hero & Cape. I can't wait to get the T-Shirt, and I hope to collaborate with them again in the future!

Another Shoe Post!

Remember my previous shoe post, when I showed you shoes I had bought that I totally couldn't walk in? This time, good news - I can actually walk in these! They are all so comfortable and don't made me do THIS! I loved all your advice on how to walk in high heels, and that the main thing to remember is that practise makes perfect. A few of you mentioned wedges too. As you can see, I found a pair in the New Look sales.

I also treated myself to two pairs of chunky heels from Miss Selfridge. I was going to return the Limited Edition pair but I've managed to talk myself into keeping them. Funny that. I love that the heel is made from a rubbery material, so there's more grip when you walk! (Honestly, the things I tell myself to justify keeping things I can't afford!! I have buyers remorse.) Anyway, I feel tall in them so it is worth it!!

Lace and Florals

I bought this TopShop dress in March and I've worn it so many times (also seen here) I've worn it so much that one side of the lace has started to go really "bobbly"! I am not very good with nail art, but I love florals so I thought I would try this one. I actually did these floral nails AGES AGO but was a bit embarrassed to show you because they're not as good as the other ones I've seen. 

Thank you to everyone who has been so nice about my work in my #LookShowWSC post, I didn't want to say in that particular post but I was very nervous about publishing it! I am proud of my work and I used to be fine about showing people but I have such a complex about it now, something I developed in the 4th year of uni, I became such a jittery wreck!
