OOTD: Peach

Apologies if this post looks a little weird or not quite right. My laptop decided to die on me this week and I'm having to use my iPad to write and upload this post. The screen is jumping every time I type which is fabulous and I somehow cannot change the size of the photos, so I'm sorry!

Anyway, hello friends. Long time. Here we have a classic Frankee outfit shall we say. Striped and all black. But with some cute peach trainers. Trying to find trainers that aren't leather is a nightmare I swear. But I found some!

I'm trying to make more of an effort to take outfit photos this year, I always get annoyed when I don't document an outfit I quite liked. I'm also loving the beret hype at the minute! I got mine from Boohoo. Again.....vegan problems....it was so hard to find one that didn't contain wool, but boohoo does wool free ones and it was only £10!

What They Don't Tell You About Graduation

06:03

I have officially graduated with a BA Hons degree in History from Nottingham Trent University. Can I get a woop woop (ew). Graduation isn't quite what I personally expected. I guess I expected the end of Legally Blonde where we're all dead cute and throw our hats into the air, but no. I didn't throw my hat. It didn't move off of my head all day. There was a sea of grads throwing their hats outside trying to get the perfect boomerang for insta. But me being a scrooge just didn't wanna. So here is a few things that you don't realise about graduation until you're actually there.

1. You spend most of the day away from friends/family
You arrive with your guests you chose to bring with you, have photos with your friends and then BAM. You're sat in the hall for almost two hours in alphabetical order. Probably sat in between two people on your course who won't recognise you cause ya know....you didn't turn up to your seminars for half the year. 

2. The cap and gown is heavier than it looks
I was not prepared for the weight of that hat. Wow. The only way I can explain it is that it is like walking with a pile of 5 books on the top of your head. Like in Princess Diaries, which is fabulous when its a warm sunny day and your foundation is smearing all over it. I will say, you spend the day gliding round feeling like Voldemort in that gown. Which I personally enjoyed.



3. A stranger dresses you in your cap and gown
As I was queuing for my gown, I soon realised that there is people who actually dress you. Me being the awkward human I am immediately panicked and wanted to snatch my gown and run. It wasn't THAT bad but having some random chap adjusting your gown around ya booblies is a tad awks.

4. It's kinda stressful finding what to wear, which actually just gets covered my your gown
Formal is the only dress code you're given. Which is super easy if you're planning on wearing a suit. (I nearly did, a baby pink one) But anything else its a struggle. I stressed for so long over what to wear and then I put my gown on. MY WHOLE OUTFIT WAS COVERED I DIDN'T NEED TO STRESS AT ALL.

5. Its actually not as scary as you think
You spend weeks, even possibly years if you're like me and over plan everything, worrying about this day. Fretting that you might do a Lizzie McGuire and trip over on stage wrecking the backdrop. But chill, its fine. Yeah it's a little freaky waiting to walk across the stage but its fine, and I DIDN'T FALL. 



P.S my dress is this one, the bag is old H&M and my shoes are old Public Desire ones.

I'd been eyeing these trousers up for a while on ASOS, and when they did 20% this past weekend I couldn't resist. I wasn't sure on the colour, what do you think? I'm still figuring out how to style them but I think this works! They're a little big too big but I already have them in the smallest size which is crazy, why do trousers never fit me?
Also, why are Converse so cold....my toes are permanently frozen in them but I just like wearing them so I try not to care. Maybe it's just because I'm stupidly nesh. (Derbyshire word lol)

Here I am, just verging out of the depths of 3rd year. Dissertation has been handed in, HURRAAAAAHHH. I'm not entirely sure how I did it, but I did. I never thought I'd be able to write 15,000 words of my own research but I did, yay me. One more essay and two exams to go and then I'll be free. Until September when I'll (hopefully) be starting a MSc in Journalism in Leeds. These photos were taken the other day before a gig in Leeds and having a nosy around getting my bearings. I'm excited to move to a new city, I'm tired of Nottingham I must say. These trousers are probably my best purchase of last year, I'm so in love with them. I wear them way too much but its fine, who cares. I also cannot wait until it finally gets warmer so I don't have to wear a coat with EVERY SINGLE OUTFIT.
