outfits of the week #2

It's Friday, finally!! This week has been so hard, and I'm so happy to have some time for myself. Blogging, TV, fashion magazines, inspiration book, drawing.. Now when school started again, I really can appreciate the free time so much more than I did when I still had holiday!

So, here's the outfits of the week.

#9
Almost two weeks I managed  to take pictures in the morning before leaving for school, but today I didn't have time to do it until I came home.  The lighting isn't the best possible to show the outfit though..
This was the first time ever I wore  this dress, I bought it only couple days ago.

outfits of the week #1

#1
I've already posted these pictures of this outfit when I posted about going back to school but I had to post them again, as this is the first outfit of my outfit challenge.

(my sister's) shirt H&M
skirt Seppälä (?)
leggins H&M
blazer UFF

#2
Tight high waisted shorts are better when combined with loose shirt. I don't like full tight outfits. I had to wear the leopard hoodie, because I needed the hoodie to protect my hair from getting wet because it was raining. Umbrellas aren't enough, and I don't want curly hair.

#3
While doing this outfit challenge, my aim is to learn to use all of my clothes, combine them in different ways... And how do I start this challenge. Wearing my sister's shirt for the first three days. Hahah.

#4
I love this leopard shirt, it's the most comfortable shirt I have and it's amazing and cool in summers, but still wearable when the weather is colder too if I wear some shirt under it. I just love it, and the hat ♥ I'd never want to take it off.

hats

I finally bought myself a hat. Well, two hats. I haven't ever had a hat, even though I've been "mentally wearing a hat" for the last two or three years. (meaning= I've wanted to buy me a hat but for some unknown reason I haven't bought one)

I was meant to buy only the black one, but the red was so cheap and I just couldn't leave it there.

I adore the black one, it suits with any outfit and saves me from 'bad hair days' too!

wake up my wardrope

I have lots of clothes, but there's lots of them that I've never worn or I used to wear them only ages ago. I'm sick of feeling like I have nothing to wear, or wearing the few same outfits over and over again when my wardrope is full of clothes.

I want to wake my boring wardrope up, instead of keeping buying new clothes all the time.. (the latter I couldn't even really do a lot because of the lack of money!)

I decided to challenge myself, to try how long I can come up with new outfits. I try to create different combos everyday. After wearing all my safe normal outfits, I must to start finding new ways to wear clothes I haven't lately worn. 

(I've forgotten to mention, I finally got a clothes reck when we went to IKEA with my mum a month or two ago!)

I'm going to take pictures of my outfits during the week, and post them here at the end of week. :)

Such a great way to find new things to wear, for free. I have to take pictures of the outfits so I don't forget what combos I have already worn, and when I post them here, I can't 'cheat'. hahah.

everyday make up

Today was my third school day after holiday, and for some reason I did the make up look I used to wear for the whole last year at school. Well, the title isn't the best possible, because as I've said, I haven't had a specific everyday make up look lately, I've been trying so many different looks almost everyday during my summer holiday..

But yeah. This is the look that used to be my everyday make up look.

I don't think this will become my everyday make up look now when schools started again. Even though I don't have lots of time to to my make up in the mornings, I've experienced so much with make up during my summer holiday that I have other quick make up looks in my mind that I can do. Not the same everyday anymore, it would be too boring for me now. 

I'm suffering from the lack of time now because of school, so I don't have so much time to spend online as I used to have when I still had my holiday. I love reading your comments, and I'm going to reply to every single one of them as soon as I have time!! And I'm going to check out your blogs, and also new blogposts from the blogs that I follow, as soon as I have time!

And I have sooo many ideas, what to blog about.. Yeah, of course. When you have lots of time, you don't know what to blog about but when you're busy, new ideas just keep coming to your mind. Well, I'm trying to everything I can with the little time I have. :)

back to school

My long summer holiday just ended, and I had to go back to school today. The 2½ months holiday went by so fast, and I had amazing time! Gigs, make up experiments, photography, blogging, ice cream, shopping, reading, friends, happy loneliness, lazyness .. That was my summer! I managed to do 8 out of those 16 things in my to-do list for summer , which is quite good achievement as I didn't look at the list during my holiday at all.

I'm happy to go back to school though, I've missed my classmates and the amazing sewing machine I can use at school! The first thing we're going to make is a blazer. I still have to think of what kind of blazer I want to make.. I like these two blazers, maybe I have to do something between them? I have to search for more inspiration and sketch something.. But please feel free to suggest something, (describe or post links) if you think you know something I might like! :D

This is the make up I wore today. Just a simple look, though different and more colourful than any look I wore at school last year. If you like this look, you can use my Penelope Cruz make up tutorial but do it with different colours. Eyeliners you can put around your whole eye as I did on my tutorial, or to the outer corners like I did today. It's up to you.

I also had my hair done few days ago, got a new haircut. Much shorter.. No more LONG hair at the back of my head! I hadn't even thought about cutting my hair so short, but it just happened, hahah. But I don't regret it at all, short hair is so easy and comfortable! Next time I'm probably going to make it even shorter.

This is my outfit of the day. Such a dark look.. But yeah, I adore that blazer! It's one of those clothes I bought at UFF. The black shirt I'm wearing is actually my little sister's, I've just been borrowing it lately.. So funny, I borrow my mum's large clothes and my little sister's small clothes too.

How are you all? Still having your holidays or back to school/work yet? :)

London

I saw this view in Tampere and I was like wow, it' almost s like "London Eye" and "Big Ben" and I had to take a picture of it. Hahah.

But yeah, not a long time left till I'm really going to London! Nea and I are going there in October and I'm sooo excited ♥ I'd be glad to receive some recommendations where to go and what to do there in London, like what clothes/vintage/make up stores we should check out, and if there's some great clubs we could go too.. Anything you'd recommend us doing there. So if you live in London or have ever been there and have some ideas what to do there, please leave a comment below and share your recommendations, I'd really appreciate it! :)
