My first ever "outfit post"! Feels very strange...

Yesterday I decided I would base my outfit around this necklace:



You may have seen it on Not So Fickle, oui? I am not ashamed to admit I wear the stuff from time to time - If I've bought it for the shop that means its caught my eye and I've fallen in love, and since its all second-hand anyway it would be oh too cruel to deny myself the fun of "testing" the products out, don't you think?!

Well this necklace I thought was a particularly nifty find, but its been on the shop for longer than I expected. It occured to me that maybe its difficult to imagine how the jewellery will look from the pics I've posted on the website (I know I know, photography is not my strong point, terribly sorry about that). Lots of my favourite blogs, like Fashiontrain, Gemfatale, and Magpie Girl regularly do outfit posts and I love reading them and looking at the pics... could I do the same?!

I felt very very silly taking a picture of myself and am somewhat perturbed to notice I have a lazy eye. Come on leftie, keep up. Thank God none of the hippies came round the corner and saw me posing away!


Yep only one - it took me a while to get a grip on the whole self-timer thing. God I'm useless. So I'm wearing... Necklace: www.notsofickle.com - £7.00 ; Jacket: Topshop; Belt: A relic from my Dad's youth; Skirt: Primark et c'est tout!

I am all too aware that I have no fancy clothes or fashion-sense to speak of, but hopefully this helps to illustrate how awesome this necklace is! Please let me know what you think of this idea because I still feel very very silly ;)

Ciao ciao xxxx
