OOTD : 31st March, 2014 - Peplum Problem

Now I said that I was going to try and spice my life up a little by avoiding peplums but it seems to be my go-to when I am in a rush. Today I slept in, so I was seriously flustered when getting ready this morning. Got to uni, it went.. Thankfully pretty quickly, then I went home and went to Sarah's house. Only just got back, had a good night filled with silly shenanigans. 

Other than that, my day was pretty mundane. I am sure tomorrow will be too, laundry is on the agenda. Woop!

OOTD : 30th March, 2014 - Boring

Today I just hung around at home. Grabbed some groceries quickly and finished filming a haul that should be up very soon depending on my internet connection. Other than that, today has been pretty breezy! I have uni tomorrow so I didn't feel like burying myself in uni work today, although I do have quite a lot to do.

Anyway, I won't bore you with the details of my mostly mundane day! It was quite warm today so I did change into a much more forgiving dress for the heat.

OOTD : 29th March, 2014 - Ombre Fail

So, after a good ombre job with the first box, I made a very stupid decision to reapply the dye so it was a little more obvious. I got distracted though and next thing you know I had bright yellow and white hair.. Boo, got it fixed today (by a professional) but now have a greyish tinge to my hair.

Let me tell you, it was a very expensive exercise in learning to love your natural hair colour!

I also had a massive clean of my room today! Bathroom has been scrubbed, floor vacuumed, bed made.. The whole shebang!



Dress : City Chic

Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful day! With no bad hair dye jobs!

OOTD : 28th March, 2014 - Ombre

Today I went on a wild expedition to ombre my hair with a friend today. Round 1 I tried the Loreal Wild Ombre kit for blonde to light blonde. Was pretty happy with how it came out but it wasn't light enough for my liking. Anyway, after a late night trip to Coles, I got the Nice and Easy Frost and Tips highlight kit and redid it. Its still wrapped up, I'll put a picture up tomorrow if its not horrendous.. 

Fingers crossed!

Because I am pretty fair to start with, it was really hard to get it noticeably lighter.. Anyway.



I should of taken a picture of my hair after the first attempt.. Whoops

OOTD : 27th March, 2014 - Ha

Today my day started off with me making someone cry because I heard them bitching about me, well, lying about me to someone in the same room and called them out on their bullshit. Is is bad that it was sort of satisfying? Anyway, maybe she will think twice before being a bitch 'behind my back' but in front of me..

Honestly, if you have a problem with me you can say it to my face so at least then I know to change my behaviour or explain myself (not that I have to) instead of bitching about me to someone when I am less than two metres away..

Girls, seriously!

OOTD : 26th March, 2014 - The Latest

So, I am currently writing this post way later than should of ever happened but the internet got disconnected at home yesterday so I was unable to post. Secondly, I have internet now, but not the pictures of the outfit I wore yesterday so I am improvising with photos I have of the outfit I wore from previous days! I know, technically this is cheating, but I got to do what I got to do!

My day was a biggie, uni from 9:30 until 2pm and then work from 3:30 until 8pm and then went and saw a friend until well past midnight. Whoa big day!

OOTD : 25th March, 2014 - Peplum Again!

This morning I went and helped out at playgroup, I was super tired though and I had a raging headache. In a room of loud children, not that fun! After that, I had a little bit of time before needing to get ready for work so I spent some time with a friend.

Work was good. Nothing special. I am a little worried about tomorrow though because I have much less time to get ready because I have uni until the afternoon, I don't like the feeling of being rushed, fingers crossed its a-okay!

I know I said I would add some variety in my wardrobe, but I saw this top and put it on my body. My bad! Hopefully no peplum tomorrow, for your sake!

OOTD : 24th March, 2014 - Back At Work

Today I had uni from 11am until 1pm but because it is such a hassle to get a park after 10am, I went to uni at 9:30 to get some things done before my classes. A much easier way to go about things instead of sitting in the carpark frustrated for 40 minutes trying to find a park.

I started work at 3:30.. I was a little (or a lot) anxious about going back for many reasons. I hadn't worked in so long and it was my first time back since putting in a complaint about a coworker harassing me and I wasn't sure how that was going to be. It was surprisingly good, my coworker didn't even dare look at me, let alone make any nasty remarks.. A+ to that!

Really couldn't fit anything more into my day, once I got home from uni I only had an hour free before I needed to start getting ready for work and I just did some things online… Also, it poured rain in Sydney today, super!




Singlet : Cotton On
Jumper : Autograph

Tights as pants, raise the roof! I wanted something comfy and not restricting on my stomach because I have been having some stomach issues (see yesterdays post) and leggings did nicely!

I hope you all had a wonderful day!

OOTD : 23rd March, 2014 - Work?

Today I drove home from Newcastle and just spent the day with a friend. Have just been laying about in bed since about 8pm. As some of you will have read, I am going back to work tomorrow for the first time since putting in a complaint about a coworker for bullying. I have been pre warned that I will be working with her and I am a little anxious about it.. Also partially anxious because my stomach has been really unsettled for the last week and a bit and it seems like a lot of foods are making me sick. I don't know if this is because of my shocking eating habits of late or if its stress.

Fingers crossed I don't need any trips to the bathroom at work tomorrow to assist, if ya know what I mean.. TMI? My bad, but this is what my life is like as someone who's anxiety is flared up with nausea, vomitting and diarrhoea. I am sure other people with anxiety can relate! And if you think talking about my bathroom habits is disgusting, well, I have little to say to you except its all a natural part of life and I've spent enough of my life feeling embarrassed about it.. But, in order for me to live a semi-normal life I have accepted the fact that sometimes I will need to go out in public and I have no shame in doing that anymore because otherwise I would never go out!

Anyway, I also have a few assessments for uni due this week. One of them has been done for a while and I am just waiting to submit it and the other one I haven't really looked at because its a one page deal and we get full marks as long as we submit it.. No pressure there..



Top : City Chic

I just realised that for the last few outfits I have been wearing peplum tops.. My bad, so much for variety and spicing up my life!

OOTD : 22nd March, 2014 - Party Like Its Your Birthday

Today is my brothers 23rd birthday and boy did he celebrate! Started by watching him play soccer, which they won, which was then followed by a two pub visit for celebratory drinks. By the time I made it in to the last pub, my brother was (understandably) pretty drunk.. We had dinner and hung around for a while and left him there to continue partying with his friends. They're a great bunch of guys though, super funny!

I also ordered two Stylish Surprises from Modcloth. One for me and one for my sister, hopefully they are nice and fit reasonably enough! I have heard very mixed reviews from bloggers about this initiative. Fingers and toes crossed that I like it! Let me know if you've purchased one!

Outfit of the Day!



Top : City Chic
Skirt : Cotton On

Outfit of the Night - Due to my sisters inability to listen to simple instructions, I have had to use more photos than I would of liked to show the whole outfit! Asked her to take a photo from my chin down to my toes, apparently thats too hard! So I used the timer to get some better pictures.. Hopefully this will suffice for you!





Wow the skin on my back looks super smooth, probably just the crappy quality photo though.

Anyway, I hope your night was just as alcohol fuelled as mine… Not really, I was designated driver! Always down for a get-together though!

OOTD : 21st March, 2014 - Home

Today I made the trip back to Newcastle for my brothers birthday.. Was here for about two hours before my sister annoyed me so much that I had to go out to avoid her. Blergh. Hopefully she will wake up on the right side of the bed tomorrow!

Other than that and a lot of web browsing today nothing was done.. 



Top : Asos Curve

Anyway, I don't have anything else to say. Hopefully tomorrow is a little more interesting so I don't bore you half to death in tomorrows post. I hope you had a wonderful day!

OOTD : 20th March, 2014 - Planning

Today I went to ESL to help out with creche and then just hung out with a friend. We took a nap together which was interesting, other than that I didn't really do anything.. I will probably be going up to Newcastle today or tomorrow for my brothers birthday on Saturday and I also go back to work on Monday so everything seems to be falling back into place. Fingers crossed work isn't too awkward, I haven't worked since reporting a coworker for bullying and I don't know how its going to be…

Anyway.

OOTD : 19th March, 2014 - Rest Day

Today I tried to sleep of the symptoms of my dehydration from last night so I allowed myself to stay in bed at 11:30 am which was super nice. I haven't stayed in bed that late for a very long time and although I feel better, I am still feeling a little shaky and faint. Hopefully that'll pass with another good night of sleep!

Other than that I just hung out with a friend, went to bible study and lots of general laziness. Haha

OOTD : 18th March, 2014 - Sick?

Today was a very productive day.. I fixed my cupboard, sort of… Finished an assignment and hung out with a friend, all of this happened after two hours helping out at playgroup and not enough sleep. I do think that I am about to be faced with the consequences of being busy and not looking after myself though. Right now I have the shakes, chills and a very bad headache.. This with muscle aches and the sore throat and cough I've had for a couple days makes me think I am getting the flu, or something of the sort. Or it may just be because I had a panic attack today and literally shit myself stupid while out with a friend.

Party!

Also I look much paler than usual, if thats even possible!

Heres hoping a good night sleep will do a world of good! I hope you all had a great day!

OOTD : 17th March, 2014 - Embarrassed

Today I had uni, I got there super early so I didn't have to participate in the daily Hunger Games - University car park edition again. Class was good, the rest of my day was good up until about an hour ago when I was putting washing away and the supporting bracket of my hanging rail pulled out of the chipboard shelf. In hindsight I really should of just organised to get it fixed myself and not tell my landlord but I did and now I am super embarrassed because they keep telling me I have too many clothes. I feel if you build a wardrobe big enough for that amount of hangers to hang then if better bloody well hold that amount of weight.

They said they would organise to get someone to fix it but I think I just will get someone to come and do it and save them the hassle and me the humiliation. I feel super bad too because the chipboard shelf has split around where the screws were.

Hopefully I can get something a little more heavy duty organised to go in…Would it be immature for me to cry about this? I don't know what to do and where my clothes could possibly go if I cannot hang that many, I mean seriously! Its never been a problem before, even in my tiny, shitty college cupboard.

And no, I am not purging my wardrobe, that would be admitting defeat.



Dress : Asos Curve
Skirt : Kmart
Belt : City Chic
Cardigan : City Chic

Anyway, I am just going to go to bed, maybe cry a little on the inside (and outside) and sleep it off… Hopefully.. I have sent some emails to some handymen to see if they could be of assistance but I am sure if it came down to it that I could fix it but I really want it to be able to withstand the weight of my clothes!

I hope you all had a lovely, less humiliating day!

OOTD : 16th March, 2014 - Hypocrites

Today I went to church and boy have I really fallen out of love with Christianity. Now I know that not all Christians are like this but boy are some of them the biggest hypocrites that ever had breath put into them! I feel like church should be a place where everyone feels comfortable but why is it that every time I go a snide comment is made or a bad experience with someone is had. 

I could rant about this forever but I am going to cut it short because I don't want you having to endure a 500 word rant about how people don't practice what they preach..

Other than church, I had a nap and saw a friend for a little bit and had the pleasure of learning how to use magic loom bands from a seven year old. Nothing exciting, but it is super late, past midnight and I only just got home from seeing my friend, tomorrow morning may hurt.




I also had the mighty pleasure of trying to use my self timer on my camera with bad results if I do say so myself. Not really happy with the way they turned out but you get the point!

OOTD : 15th March, 2014 - Sensitive

I am up to day 3 of whitening my teeth and my teeth are finally beginning to feel a little sensitive. Hopefully it will pass overnight but at the moment its just a little sensitive, not sore or anything. Maybe I need to cut down to once a day instead of the recommended twice a day. Let me know if you've experienced this and what you've done to help!

Today I did some uni work and went grocery shopping. I have just been hanging out with some friends all afternoon and went to Chatswood for dinner, I had Garlic King Prawns, delish. Will most likely reek of garlic tomorrow though..

Today my parents came down with my sister. We went shopping first and somehow needed up in Gosford seeing other family before coming back to Sydney for dinner and to drop me home. Much fun was had and many laughs were shared. It was a good day! Also, my Mums aunty and uncle have installed a proper functioning waterslide into their pool so I had lots of fun on that this afternoon!

Other than that, nothing else happened.

OOTD : 13th March, 2014 - Excited

Tomorrow my family are coming down to visit me, I am so excited. My Dad is coming, I can't even remember when I last saw him but I am pretty sure it was around October or something.. Weeeeeee!

Today I just helped out at creche and went batshit crazy at the shops because I got paid today.. I had been living on $12 since this time last week, not cool! It will be nice to actually be able to afford things again, while still being conscious of my spending (as I hide clothes from my Mum in my wardrobe!)..

Other than that, I listened to a lecture, whitened my teeth and had a massively long shower where I washed my hair.. Are you just so jealous of my super exciting life?
