Today's outfit was what I think Blair Waldorf might wear if she were relatively impoverished (and had mild indie pretensions). The tights are a new purchase, I love them, but they sag a bit and unfortunately grated my feet half to death in my slightly too small shoes.
How am I experimenting today? Well, for a start, my hair is back - which it very, very seldom is. Though next time I have it like this I might put a plain black headband in it - it feels a little boring on its own. Also, I decided that tying a small scarf around my wrist would be fun - I felt I needed a little colour and I feel like I don't accessorise very often. And - my beloved red is nowhere to be seen! I'm actually rather enjoying wearing a less colour at the moment. So, little things, but new (to me) none the less!
And, finally, a close up of the scarf on my wrist (I cannot remember where I have seen this before, though I'm certain I have);

I love the scarf around your wrist! Very nifty. I've seen something before where a scarf was tied with a knot every 5cm or so and worn as a necklace, it looked surprisingly good.
Baby steps! Very pretty, especially those tights (despite any sagging/foot grating properties they may have).
You look so lovely here! I love the tights they're so chic.
Now tell me, did you tie the scarf on your wrist all by yourself? Cos if you did, then you're a champion!
Kate moss does that doesn't she? - and i think lindsy wears one around her ankle?.... i could be wrong.... i'm not upto date on that kinda thing.
Nice subtle touch of colour.
the first thing I noticed was your hair being back, so stunning!
Wow you look fab! I especially like the scarf around your wrist. It's a little 'sex in the city,' Carrie sometimes wears them around her arm like that...
I am new to reading your blog and i think it is fantastic!

I'm new to the fashion blogging world and have linked to you from mine at

Love your work.
you could also try to do some simple 50's hairstyles, it would suit you and look interesting
You look fabulous. I adore the touch of the scarf around your wrist and you look lovely with your hair pulled back.
i love the tights + the scarf around the wrist. what a clever idea.
I love the tights - I've got to get some, what style are they called?
