I have never been what you would call normal, nor for one second would I want to be. But I have always bucked the trends and idea of designer being better. Over the last few years I have gradually developed my own quirk on fashion and makeup. But even then it came and went as the mood took me. Since I have started to blog and really since that last big birthday I decided makeup might be a good idea as with skin care.
However something weird has happened in the last few weeks. I an only put it down to having time on my hands due to my illness and mums little glip in health. But thanks to the tax man being nice and returning the overpayment he owed me, I had the inclination to treat myself. However this little treat turned into a major shop that has ended up with 2 spring weight jumpers, a skirt, a top, some make up, a lot of body shop bath stuff, shorts and a Kandee set of bags and matching heels. Now I am not here to gloat, but thanks to a careful shop and the joys of the Internet I have to admit I have only spent less than a third of the labled price. Now this was majorily helped by Kandee having a flash 80% sale so the set of 2 bags and matching pair of heels cost less than the labled price of the shoes alone by 40%. But nothing was bought at full price and now I realise I have ended up with a core spring / summer wardrobed and enough bath products to last the year lol.
I have found that the internet has some major plus points not just because I can't get up and about easily round endless shopping malls, but also for compairing prices. Not last month thanks to the net and a voucher I purchased 3 pairs of new look shoes for the price of one. The only place that is suffering is the high street. For that I am sorry, but the lack of foresight towards less able customers is a major downfall, and the fact that once I have struggled there I find they haven't got what I want in my size and colour and I have to go to a different branch for it is pure madness.
Anyway it was only after this madness of shopping and my come down that it was pointed out to me there were no combats, baseball boots or other tomboy stuff in my purchases. Now this is most unusual especially as I have trashed yet another pair of combats this week alone. In fact there are defiant shades of pink in my purchases which has caused much laughter in my house when it was announced I have gone all girly. No I haven't gone to the dark side of every barbie pink and frightened to break a nail. But next time I am at a car event you may have to check under the ball cap to check for make up.
Besides as I told them here, I am having a radical hair changed booked next month and I want to try a look that will go with it.
