Don't look back


I have a tendency to overanalyse.

From picking apart old messages to reflecting on the conversation I had with the lady at the train station, every interaction seems to swill around in my mind until my stop's been announced. Let's hope there's no delays.



I used to think that growing up was synonymous with not caring, or at least, caring about things less. Without exams, cliques and msn messenger, what would there be to worry about? Quite a lot as it turns out.

Now I'm not talking house prices or the declining state of the economy - now that's a post in itself - I'm talking about those worries that you never would have even considered. The things like navigating commitment, how to sign off a light hearted email or 'what kind of coffee won't make me look like I'm trying too hard'. 



Small, simple things that on a laptop screen seem trivial, but in real life seem pretty important. And that's something with which we're all fairly familiar with.

Whilst right now these things seem overwhelming, at some stage - whether it's in a week or seven months - they're bound to diminish. Like the time you got locked in the PE cupboard or left your food tech ingredients at home, those supposedly significant worries become chapters and anecdotes that are almost nice to look back on.

Especially when you realise seven years without PE has probably improved your general wellbeing. 



Do you think looking back can be a good thing?

One point perspective






top - Shein
skirt - Missguided
shoes - Primark

This outfit makes me feel like I'm solving mysteries and unmasking outraged villains - which I am totally all for.
Even though I have always been a massive Daphne advocate, I definitely think I'm much more Velma i.e. desperately trying to be glamorous but forever returning to the comfort of my (orange) oversized jumper. 

Whilst I consider the identity of my animated alter ego, I shall continue to bathe in the wonder of Alex Turner's vocal chords. It took me a couple of listens, but I am in adoration of the latest album - a strong four out of five.

Which cartoon character would you be?

Mood swings










top & jeans - H&M
necklaces - Cinco
blazer - Primark
boots - Popjulia

How perfect has this weather been? Apparently the warmest May Bank Holiday since 1995 so it was certainly suncream and sauvignon all round.

Beyond the cocktails, the sun reminds me just how I much I enjoy summer clothes. Even if I'm not an avid skirt wearer, just being able to go outside without a jacket or sensible shoes makes a huge difference to my mood. Mainly wanting to buy all the summery things I can fit into my online basket, but also a reminder that holidays, late evenings and spontaneous adventures will soon be on the horizon.

What do you enjoy most about summer?
