B&W basics

 

Most people recognise that dressing, while being the most basic of activities, can quickly become one of the most expensive and painful. So avoiding this route, I've found it easiest to stick to basics - basic colours, basic cuts, basic items. Who said a tee had to be boring!

Calm, collected and cosy

Sometimes I stop and think about the fact that I've never dressed more like a slob true uni student until now. Incidentally, I finished studying a year ago, and when I was at uni, I was always the overdressed one (hello, fashun?). But in all seriousness, dressing this way makes me happy, and not in the "pants-optional" form of happiness, but more of an "I'm comfortable, and if my outfit offends you, I can deal with that" way. Some would argue that a pants optional lifestyle = comfort, but I beg to differ!

Jay left for (yet another) trip overseas, so yesterday was really a day for being comfortable and cosy to make all the last minute dashes to the shops and endure the packing madness. You think that after traveling this much, you'd have your packing down to a 30 minute routine!

Back to the point, nothing screams comfort more to me than pyjama-style pants and a cosy oversized knit. It didn't even matter that I had at least 6 people tell me my pants looked like pyjama pants, because most importantly, they're comfortable. And hey, if your pyjama-style pants have patterns which resemble lego flowers, even better!

So amid all the madness, we saw this dead ivy-covered wall and figured it would make a great backdrop to pretend that we hadn't been running around like mad men and women. And now, even though the madness is over, I think I'll struggle not to outfit repeat for a while. Really, who can argue with Sportsgirl's crazy sales at the moment - hello 50% off!
