Did the wind blow her away?

Alyna:

British weather is seriously confusing when deciding what to wear! Today you may be fooled by the photos as it looks relatively warm ... But it was freezing !! And actually snowed the day before. However, I chose to wear my grey knitted jumper to go with my monochromic print trousers and maroon camel Coat with fur.

Caitlin:

It was kind of just a bit windy - just a bit, the majority of the time I couldn't see as my (mane of) hair was flying everywhere... but yeah, just a bit windy. Although it's quite a fair bit through March and official spring is only a fortnight away, it's snowing.Yay?
It causes havoc when deciding what to wear, as it is freezing but the sun is hot, what to do? Because carrying round a massive coat is just annoying.
But, anyway I chose to wear a big coat (car coat).Not that you can really see, but apart from staple black jeans and boots, I wore a shirt which actually had the top button undone for once with a nice, chunky, statement bit of neck bling. I had a cardigan on too for practicality purposes but still i was freezing.
Where is summer?!

Caitlin:

I promise you that Alyna and I didn't purposely coordinate our outfits - it's not a weekly Tartan Trouser Thursday tradition or anything.

 When i first bought these trousers I thought they were kind of crazy, but now they seem a bit tame - I want some neon! However, I still played it quite safely, just pairing them with a plain shirt and a statement chunky chain. And obviously, i had to through in my fave black studded boots (don't think I could live without them) and relatively unneeded trusty jacket because look, it's sunny!

Alyna:

Today I decided to wear my furred maroon camel coat with my dark blue checker pattern trousers and gold chained necklace from Topshop. I felt like I should be more colourful when choosing my outfit choice, since i pretty much stick with darks colours which consist of blacks, blacks and more black .... Ohh maybe a hint of red now and then. But this outfit is a slow step forward.

since I last saw you I fell down the rabbit hole

Caitlin:

Today was that horrible day,the one where you have to set the alarm in the morning again and wake up even before the birds,then to drag yourself pretty much totally asleep through the cold to endure an exciting full day of lessons. Yay! 

The stupid time I woke up and my lack of motivation for what lay during the day ahead, I ended up in this outfit, looking very... casual.And random. 

It wasn't until we took the photos that I realised I looked like some american kindergartener, I could blend in very well with the cast of Matilda probably - pigtails and then i'm sorted (and if I was about 3ft shorter). The american mom style jeans (or boyfriend jeans)and shoes that I was told by my sister 'look like what I used to wear to school when I was 5' (though the cutesy-ness is toughed by the studs, couldn't wear them in year R).Today I was even told i looked cute.Wow, a first. I'm wearing just a black jumper,the check scarf was to add a bit of colour as well as preventing against the extreme cold. Summer needs to come soon!

Despite all that I actually quite like this outfit, I don't really know why.

It's probably the early morning as to why I look so unimpressed, also I just thought i'd say brightening up the atmosphere of the pictures is the wonderfully inspiring, artistic background courtesy of our lovely college. Isn't it just so happy! Well, anyway it does the trick.

Off to think happier thoughts and prepare for an exciting day tomorrow!!

Alyna:

So first day back to college after having a pretty lazy half term and i must admit , i was not looking forward to getting up at 6:30 so today i was going for more a simple  yet elegant look.

 I decided to wear my vintage knitted  jumper with my black skinny jeans with my light maroon camel coat and black faux fur to achieve a feminine look and create a visual texture.

it's another pure grey morning

 Today was a strange day, the weather was really sunny yet so so cold, as if it couldn’t make it’s mind up. Rather like us, who managed to while away the hours doing pretty much nothing.

Caitlin:

I’m dressed quite contradicting. It highlights my indecisiveness, as I couldn’t decide what was appropriate. The floral and the neon seem all optimistic and spring-like but however, I paired it with very autumnal dark colours of the burgundy blazer with the check scarf.

And, oh yeah, I have leather legs. I have established a rather love/hate relationship with these trousers with as (umm) lovely as they may look, they are a pain to wear, annoying me never-endingly. But you have to suffer for style, sometimes.

Alyna:

Today I decided to go for a retro look with the 70s style flare green trousers - which is usual for me since I live in black skinny jeans, since you can't go wrong with them. But purchasing these new trousers was definitely a good decision! To compliment the hint of green in the outfit, I wore Rimmel 107 from the kate moss collection. The basic crop top from Topshop put a modern twist on the overlook retro look. Continuing with the 70’s theme, I emulated the glamour with fur-collared coat from new look, the fur adding texture and detail  -I don't tend to have many accessories to compliment my outfit but recently I've been obsessing over silver rings as you can probably tell in the photos above.
