Being an onion.

Went to wear the crop I bought while shopping yesterday with Sarah D today but failed as it was unreasonably cold. Damn you, Irish weather! Didn't you get the memo? It's sum-mer! But fret not, dear reader, the crop-top is still there, just under many, many layers. 

Began with the crop (with a fluorescent-green lace bra from UO underneath as there's a cut-out in back and I figure if the bra's gonna be showing you might as well make it a statement) and a skirt but soon the skirt became skinny jeans and I was adding a sweater and then a flannel shirt. As a result, the outfit's a little ramshackle but I was only lounging about the house today. Don't worry about my having the stomach out, either, I'm merely illustrating my onion-ness! I would never have my belly-button visible in public, (probably not even on the beach) the skirt I was originally wearing was high-waisted!

Tea-rrific outing outfit.

I can almost hear the collective groan at that pun. Apologies. Actually, screw that, I apologise for nothing! Today I met people in town to bade farewell to D-Hal for the summer. He's off to New York, the bastard. Majorly jealous as I would be headed there too if I were more organised! I guess I'll have to focus my energies on this blog and my writing. 

Anyhoo, we went for tea in the Tea Garden (ergo, punny title) which is super-adorable and, as we were sitting on cushions on the ground and as the weather was being an ass, practicality was the requirement of the day. First day that I've worn trousers in ages. The outfit recalls the run of Buffy-inspired outfits that I wore for a few weeks just before I began this blog; cute hat, denim jacket and pretty lace top. Originally I had knee-high brown suede boots that I'm sure Buffy would have died over but suede + drizzle = trouble and so, sadly, I had to change.

I also bought a Sparkle and Fade crop-top in Urban Outfitters when I was out and about today. I'm excited to try it out! Watch this space.

Adorable cut-out in back.
