This is what I wore to work today, I thought the dress looked quite cute made into a paperbag waist skirt. Excuse the mess in my room. I have no nice white wall to take outfit photos in front of, so this will have to do!

Today was a funny day at work, I went upto the Art Departments end of year exhibition, it was fantastic. I was impressed by the amount of work some of the students had put in. I then watched the fashion show. This just blew me away, I could not believe the amazingness of some of the collections, beautiful textures and styles. And some great shoes! Loved it, I'm hoping I might be able to get hold of some photos so I can post them on here.

Feeling slightly inspired by both the fashion show and by Bee at Vivatramp's Live Fast Die Fun feature I have decided I'm going to learn how to do 'fashion' by this I mean starting at the basics, putting a sketch book together, learning to draw and design. If that goes well I may attempt to sew! I've just ordered myself a couple of fashion design books of Amazon, used ones (saving the environment and all that!!) for bargain amounts (less than £10 for both books) and I'm going to pop to town on my lunch break sometime and get myself some supplies and see what happens. I used to dance a lot but after my experience at uni I have stopped so I need a hobby really. It may be something I document on this blog, or it may not. We'll have to see what happens!
