WARNING: This post is even less coherent than normal. Welcome to a string of thoughts straight from my head...

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion or whatever but I think too many style bloggers focus solely on brand new outfits. Of course, there's nothing wrong with showcasing new clothes but I honestly think it's a bit boring to do only that; nevermind the fact that it is super unrealistic. None of this outfit is even slightly new but I like it and I wanted to show you and that's how it should be.

My yellow jacket is probably my most worn item of clothing ever. The faux suede is no longer super soft and the lining is almost completely ripped to shreds but I totally adore it and will be wearing it until it falls apart - and then I'll be buying a new one because I honestly couldn't go on without it.

My lovely Ellen took these photos for me, in the rain, while we were both still back in Manchester. I'm now back in Nottingham, for my fourth year at NTU, and third and final year of my degree. I thought I'd have mixed feelings about being in my final year but I think I'm mostly in a positive place. I've wanted a degree (at the very least) as long as I can remember and hopefully very soon I'll have one in a subject I adore. I feel like I somewhat stumbled into my degree in an attempt to be interested in university and I couldn't have made a better decision. I started uni on a primary education degree which taught me a lot. It taught me I shouldn't put up with anyone treating me like crap and that I didn't want to be part of a system I not only disagree with but that I couldn't fit into, I wasn't mouldable enough for them. I am now part of a course that creates interest and enthusiasm and intrigue which is what I needed. I study Linguistics with Communication and Society, my favourite of the two is linguistics, I'd lie and say it was equal but I'm pretty sure anyone doing a joint honours degree has a preference.

There was a warning.
