An Oversized Shirt and Messy Bun

It always gets to the end of the week and piecing together an outfit and ridiculous o'clock in the morning becomes virtually an impossible task. I woke up Friday morning and my eyes were burning I was so tired, I couldn't stops sneezing and coughing and after looking at the temperature and seeing it was -6, I wanted nothing more than to slide back into my delightful marshmallow bed and go back to sleep. Of course I didn't... I forced myself to get up, get into the shower and get ready for work. When it came to outfit picking, I wasn't in the right frame of mine for experimenting and all I wanted to do was eat my porridge that had been bleeping in the microwave for the past 2 minutes - it was ready, I just wasn't. 

My faithful cream over size shirt from Zara (or any faithful over sized shirt for that matter) always saves the day, I paired the shirt with my tight black trousers rolled at the bottom and my River Island classic chelsea boots (obviously I unrolled the bottom of my trousers for my walk to the station otherwise I think my ankles would have got frost bite). 

When doing my make up I always shove my hair in a messy bun to get it out of my face and on Friday I decided I couldn't be bothered to attempt to tame my locks, so I left my hair and just added a few kirby grips in to keep it in place. Hairspray works wonders if you use it right.. I use it technically the wrong way, but it works well for me.  As opposed to spraying my hair once it is in place, I always tip my head upside and spray just before I tie it up, this way it reduces the chance of the slicked back sticky look, but still holds the hair in place. I patted in a little bit of dry shampoo on my roots to avoid my hair looking greasy when tied up (it was clean I just haven't had my colours done in a while!) and then ran for my train.. Literally! 


To say Friday was busy was an understatement and by the end of the day my hair was still in a messy bun, but the dark circles under my eyes had grown dramatically. I walked in the door after work and slumped on the sofa and didn't move until it was time for bed.
