Monochrome Mood!



Necklace - Accessorize
Jumper - H&M - £10
Velvet Dress - Topshop - £20
Boots - Dune


I think my decision to dress in pretty much entirely black is due to my protesting impatience for the warmer weather to come...I think I'll feel a bit more colourful when the sun comes out! Although, I really do love wearing this velvet dress - my Christmas sales buy! - so I'm sure it'll make plenty more appearances. In fact, I've been adding a few velvety-type pieces to my wardrobe - including a maxi-skirt which I wouldn't usually buy (it's not black, for a start!) but I guess I was feeling a bit adventurous.
Unfortunately, I haven't had time this weekend to take many photos, but I thought I'd put a few snaps together to show you my very colourful outfit (well, I am wearing bright, red nail varnish if that counts!). Revision is reluctantly becoming my priority at the moment so I haven't got much time for many blog-related things this month, which I really resent - it's what picks me back up after a hefty German essay or two! I must admit though, I'm seriously enjoying my English course at the moment; he's not the most joyful poet, but we're studying Edward Thomas. I'm not usually a massive fan of poetry, yet his work is so beautiful. I'd definitely recommend him for any poetic people out there - although you might not leave his work feeling upbeat...Speaking of, I have an English essay to write, wish me luck!

Have a lovely week,
Eva :) xxx

P.S. Oh! The Marie Claire Blog Of The Year votes are still open for another few days, it'd mean a lot if you'd sent a vote my way if you had the time. Thank you!
