I find that during the colder months even when it isn't raining I turn to darker colours, in other words I wear black or nearly block everyday. So while the majority of this outfit is black, I chose to break it up with my velvet skirt, not only to add a touch of colour but to add texture and layers. I would normally wear a skirt that covers the end of the dress but today I hitched it up a notch on my waist to show off the stripes at the bottom as well.
This week has been quite relaxed for me, mainly because most of my university work at the moment is reading, which is something I could do everyday anyway. That and I know that the week coming up is going to be very hectic as I will be balancing blogging, university and attending Oxford Fashion Week. I am not attending all of the shows but it is still quite the commitment.

//Shirt - ASOS//Necklace - Unknown//Jeans - Hollister//Boots - DUO//
I am really looking forward to the next few weeks, I have a few exciting outfit shoots to do and I have finished a couple of books over the last week ready to review. But most importantly the weather is improving so I can wear my over the knee boots outside with out fear of a large puddle ruining the suede. This means I can go to university lectures feeling like Olivia Palermo even if all I am doing is reading novels and writing essays in the library. I enjoy going back to classic 'country estate' looks during this time of year as you can easily layer with the items and any jacket works on top of it.
XO, Miriam
P.S. The boots were gifted to me by DUO.
Back to Classic.

//Striped Top - Zara//Black Vest - New Look//Plaid Print Skirt - ASOS//Tights - TU//
So today I ventured into the wonderful world of trying to shoot indoors, needless to say my editing skills are not quite up to scratch for this kind of situation. But I actually quite enjoyed the process of creating light and as much space as possible in the photos, I will not be doing this again anytime soon mind you. I having been wearing this skirt a lot recently be it on nights out or just to the lecture hall, it is so easy to layer with and looks great peeking out of my cream trench coat. And you know me I love anything that is high-waisted let alone can be worn with any top.

//Blazer - Old School One//Crop Top - Sisters//Dress - River Island//Tights - TU//Brogues - Clarkes//
Over the last few weeks I have been loving the more girly items in my wardrobe, so I brought out this dress to layer up with. But by far my favourite piece in this outfit it the crop top which I nabbed from my sisters wardrobe because it is so darn cute. I mean "boys in books are just better" I dare you to disagree! Naturally I added my brogues and a black blazer adorned with badges.

No stranger would it be.

As
November draws to a close that layers have begun to increase slowly
along with the number of pairs of tights I am washing per week.
Fortunately this morning I had a bit more time on my hands to wear
something other than my usual jeans and a tee combo like the majority of
students (I couldn't go without my daily Converse though). This outfit has the advantage that not only am I warm due to the abundance of layers, but you still look put together thanks to the lace. I chose to spin a more grungy look today but I might experiment with a more vampy look when I wear this dress out at night.
XO, Miriam
P.S. If you haven't already listen to the The Hanging Tree from the Mockingjay Part 1 Score, it is hauntingly good.
Strange things did happen here.
