I’m afraid I’ve got none of my usual style at the moment, because I’m pretty deep into my exams – four more to go, and I’ll be done in 9 days! Here’s a really quick glance at a comfy, casual revision outfit. For bonus multi-tasking points, these photos were taken on the way to get dinner, so I didn’t do my usual ‘take a hundred pictures and pick three’, I just went with what we had. This is the most relaxed you’ll probably see me in front of the camera!
So, jeans and a t-shirt is not exactly inspiring, but I have to say, I’m still so excited about finding jeans that actually fit me well! These are Gap’s Always Skinny, which luckily for me comes in a long leg – my one bug bear is that even after being washed so many times, they still leave a blue tint on anything I sit on or brush up against. So annoying!
I love the creamy colour of this Breton top, and although it doesn’t come across in the photos, it’s actually speckled with lots of different colours, which makes it a bit more unusual than straight forward blue and white stripes. I feel like striped top, blue jeans and red shoes is such a cliche, but hey, it’s easy (and a little more stylish than revision pyjamas!).
Jeans: Gap. Top: H&M. Shoes: Tesco. Satchel: Accessorize.
As you can see, I’ve not made much of an effort with hair and make up, it’s literally just my everyday basics: concealer, mascara, and Urban Decay Suspect and Smog across my lids. I love the Korres lip butters (I’m wearing Wild Rose), because they do double duty as lip balm and lip colour!
What do you think? Too boring, or just right for revision?

Not boring at all! Love the pop of your shoes too. Stripes don’t need any explanation!
Thanks! I guess jeans just feel like my lazy default, I’m nearly always in a skirt or dress 🙂
You look lovely! I’m glad I’m not the only one who sticks her thumbs in her jean pockets 🙂
Aww, thank you!
Haha, I had no idea that was even a thing I did – it’s just so comfy! 😛
Love it! It looks like such a pretty summer evening in Oxford – which makes me long for the cobbled streets of Durham more than expected! No excuses need to be made for Breton stripes and jeans – casual perfection! I love your bag as well, it’s so pretty x
Thanks! I love the bag so much, it’s beautiful 🙂 And yes, I am loving the long summer evenings – shame about the rain at the moment!
It rained solidly almost all day today – my boyfriend and I managed to catch an hour-long pocket of sunshine to walk his parents’ dog though, which was nice! Have you finished exams?
I love it ☺. Can’t beat a good pair of jeans with some cute accessories. Really like that bag! No Accessorize here though.
Thank you 🙂 Shame about not having Accessorize, it’s got some gorgeous bits at the moment 🙂
