I'm looking through people's LJs and I'm constantly marvelled at the level of quality some people have in theirs which feels as though my own should be put to shame. I just talk about my university application anxiety and to be honest, there are more entertaining stuff to write about. Anyway, I've made a new layout.

Today I've bought some clothes. Click under the cut to see the top and cardigan (the jeans needs some folding up first - curse whoever decided that jeans should have looong legs, us short people really suffer)


Notice the pockets. The top was actually one that I hadn't tried out, so it was a really pleasant surprise that it fit as well as it did. The cardigan is mostly for a black top I have in the closet but I didn't feel like changing clothes so I just threw it over. It was bought at a Swedish store called Bikbok, and I generally quite deteste the clothes they have there but they had a sale and I bought the top for 75 SEK and the cardigan for 150 SEK, which was incredibly cheap even though it might look expensive to some of you (different currency and all). I also bought two pairs of jeans for 200 and 150 SEK, which is insanely cheap, but I'll get those folded before I post photos. Now that I have a camera there will be plenty of more photos! :D

I'm glad you like it. For some reason it feels weird to make Katie McGrath layouts for me, but I'm glad that I managed to make one. Glad you like it. I just wish I knew how to make the text on the layout to be more... well "justified" as one ought to put in the css code but it doesn't bite.

I'm glad to like it. To be frank, I'm really happy when happy accidents such as me discovering the sale etc happens because to be honest, I hadn't intended to buy anything today and I ended up buying more than I have done in months. Weird.

As far as the cardigan goes, there's also silverly stuff on the other side but you don't see it that well in that photo unfortunately.

Umm, hi... STFU, lol. At least you short folks can roll your jeans. It's only been in the past four years that jeans companies have even made jeans longer than 34" in the inseam. I am 6'1" and I wear a 36" inseam! And only just in the past 6 months have I been able to pay less than $120 USD for a pair of jeans. Thank god the cheap companies have realized about tall girls!

LOL, and that's my rant.

Cute outfit though. Really like the colors together.

LMAO. I'm 5'0" (I was 10 weeks too early when I was born, it wasn't my faaaaaaullllttt! :P) and I basically have to chop a lot of the jeans off because they're too long for my legs, which is sort of embarrassing. But I can get your issues too. But I bet you look great in tights and stuff, which sadly makes me look like a stuffed potato :P

Thank you so much. It was really a big bargain.

I'm loving the pockets on that top! and the cardigan matches the top very well :)

Oh and lovely layout but I'm not sure I know who that is... *hides* someone from Merlin perhaps? :P

Thanks so much sweetie.


*gasp* What?! What?! You so need to see Merlin asap. It's like, lovely. And yes, it's Katie McGrath, she plays Morgana (who is like my all time favourite character in the Arthur saga).

The top is cute and I love the color on the cardigan. Where did you manage to buy jeans for that little?!

*has yet to do any shopping on the sale*

Thanks so much. The wonder of post-Christmas sale. I bought them at Bikbok, do you have that store over there?

Btw, you don't happen to have Martin Stenmarck's 'Nästa Dans' lying around anywhere, do you? 'Cause I can't seem to find it anywhere and I'd love to have it in my iPod... *muses*

Btw, because I can't remember, have you seen Merlin at all?

Aww, I feel the same way for like, 3/4 of the entire year *blushes* All I talk about is school and stress and (at the moment) applications that I'm sure everyone's sick of me freaking out now *blushes*

Love the new layout and the top looks awesome, very comfy :)

Hehe. I'm sure no one's sick of you freaking out. Me on the other hand... I do it every once in a while, but I guess I need to figure out a way to make my entries interesting again. These days it's so difficult to figure out what people might think interesting and what they wouldn't be interested in. It's a tricky thing.

Thank you so much :D The top is really comfortable, the little I've worn it. I think it was a really good purchase :D

OMG. I hate being short. It's like, not everyone is tall. Or even tall-ish. I seriously never find jeans that fit me right.
