Adventure



Shirt- H&M mens section
Vest-  H&M
Pumps- New Look
Bag- Matalan
Jeans- Internacionale











I went exploring the other day the weather was puzzlingly good so I though I'd make the most of it, even if it was a bit late in the day. (I also tried taking some pics of myself with out a tripod or camera buddy. Fail) I just put on my pumps, grabbed my camera and went. I ended up walking three or four miles of deserted 'tractor track' and stinging my ankles on nettles whilst grabbing some fantastic views and shooting some sunset. I got dirty and tired, it was great.
It got me to thinking though, despite this, I'm not a very spontaneous person. I don't jump into things, and I don't like change. But why? when this particular opportunity paid off, why can I not take it as an example that taking a chance isn't always doomed to end in failure? Unfortunately I can't end this with a revelatory answer. I still feel the same, it all boils down to plain and simple fear, but, realisation is half the fight, right?
Hopefully I'm young enough not to have missed all the opportunities life will give me, and I refuse to live in regret. Maybe next time I'll be brave enough to say yes.

Apologies if the above makes little sense, I would like to ask though, what's your attitude towards opportunities and chances? Do you accept everything that comes your way with open arms, or like me, stare clear of the unknown?

"Lady in red" wants a chunky cardigan!

1. Matalan- £20
2. Peacocks- £22
3. Topshop- £48 (har har)
I have been meticulously scouring the internet for a chunky cable or aran cardigan in a light colour, a white, beige, or cream sort of affair is what I'm after. These three are all I've come up with. Bad times, at between £20-£48 (lol) It's not going to happen on my budget! None the less, I love the Topshop one but I do think it's in need of some pockets.

I want it to go with this:




Another Ebay thrift for £1.99 (!) I got in a bit of a christmasy mood and thought it would look awesome with tights, boots and a chunky cardi, but I'm lacking the chunky cardi!

Full outfit post to follow soon, I promise! Any ideas for places to get a chunky cream cardi would be much appreciated, I can't think of anywhere I haven't looked on t'internet, other wise, I'm off to Primark!
