Chiconomical

And we're back! I'm really sorry I haven't been posting here lately, but starting this week, Thrifty Thursday is back on! And this time, you can actually lay your hands on these items, at street prices!! How cool is that? I even have an outfit featuring these!




To buy these, you can send a message on FACEBOOK with your details and we can talk shipping. 

Buy these for their ability to save your soul. Stripes for the sailor in you, and soles with an attitude for your soul!

Today's outfit post is a Throwback to simpler times in my life. If that's not your cup of tea, I guess you could skip reading and go straight to the pictures. (Wait, you don't already do that do you?)

If I could turn back time, I would be listening to a little group called Aqua (does anyone remember them?) and the title is a reference to their song.

If I could turn back time, I'd be swimming with my mom on lazy afternoons, pushing and kicking to win in races with her in the pool.

If I could turn back time, you'd probably still find me in this two piece that I bought in order to look a little different, but never wore for its intended event.

I haven't really grown at all in many ways have I? I still think ice-cream is a perfectly sensible breakfast choice, I'm still very possessive about my books and hoard them like there's no tomorrow, I still swim every free chance I get, I act on impulse and get annoyed at the drop of a hat.... and I still wear the same clothes!!

Blazers are something that don't really go with my city's weather. Once in a while though, the stars align enough for it to be a what I call perfect blazer weather. This is exactly what happened last week when my family decided to go on an impromptu dinner with my cousins. A little white dress, and a bright blue blazer. Need I say anything more?





This blazer is absolutely perfect! I love the fit, the color and the fabulous military style. (Big thanks to my cousin for gifting it to me!). The dress is another one of my 'lets go to the beach' purchases and I love how its colors go perfecting with my blue blazer. (I can't seem to stop saying the word blazer!) Oh royal blue, I need a little bit more of you in my life!

I'm so happy to present this Part Two of my College wear series. When I got really nice reviews for the first one, I knew I wanted more parts. This is yet another simple look that works well in the college environment. My college dressing is quite simple and fuss free since most mornings I'm rushing about trying to pack a lunch, study for the classes in the day and leave home without forgetting all those little things you need to do (like eating breakfast, locking the door....sigh)




Its been less than a week and these trousers make another appearance on my blog. This blouse is a new buy (remember when I gave you a sneak peek here) and has already seen a lot of wear. I kept it simple with a little sling bag (since I only had a couple of classes that day). Add my bracelets and earrings and I'm all set to leave for Uni, In less than 10 minutes!!!! Gotta love outfits like this.

What do you usually wear to college? Talk to me about your everyday style in the comments below or write to me on different platforms you can find in the Contacts section.

If your a regular reader of my blog, you'll know that I've started my Masters course a couple of weeks back and I've been a full-time student at Uni (dying under coursework now). So keeping this in mind, I thought it might be nice to do a little post on what I wear to uni. Keep in mind, that there are quite a few rules to be followed while dressing here (read no short skirts, shorts or tees). Add to this the fact that its been raining like there's no sun in the world for weeks now, I have been struggling with my wardrobe. (Cue thoughts on shopping).







What do you usually wear to Uni? Do you have any rules you need to follow when dressing there? Tell me all about it in the comments below or talk to me on Twitter. You can also follow me on Instagram, Pinterest and Bloglovin.

I have the most amazing friends! One of my dearest friends bought me a peplum dress recently as a present, and I've been dying to wear it! Sadly, being the skinny, disproportionate girl that I am (not that I'm complaining) I need to get it altered. But since I couldn't wait, I decided to be a bit clever and add a lace tee to it to cover the ill-fitting bits. I have to say I'm extremely pleased with the overall look. Honestly, I had to force myself to slip out of this once I got back home (this from a girl whose only thought are comfy pjs after long days), I loved it that much! 









I added my blue statement necklace to balance out the deep navy of the skirt. I need to invest in a few bright key pieces for the future. (Just one of the things blogging your outfits teaches you!)  I wore glasses because my eyes were too worn out for lenses. The fact that they go with the colors of the outfit is just a happy coincidence. Overall, a look that I'd definitely try again.

Do you have any dresses you've converted to skirts to overcome fit issues or just add a bit of freshness to your wardrobe? Tell me all about that in the comments below or on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest Bloglovin! 

This week has been one of the most stressful ones ever. I had to make tough life decisions, run around the country (literally) and try not to screw all of it up while sleeping for less than two hours a day. Oh, and did I mention, I've finally enrolled in college for masters which means I'l be running around town for the next two years trying to make something of myself! (Must.Not.Panic)

My outfit of choice once I had some time to celebrate breathe was something slightly festive and complete all on its own. This dress/tunic is something I picked up with a crazy shopping spree with my cousin.









All in all, I love how the beads add that extra something to this look. Do you have some shiny beaded outfits you wear when you wanna feel glam without the effort? Tell me all about them in the comments. You can also share your outfits with me now on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest or Bloglovin!
