Never too early for Christmas jumpers

Hey, if it's chilly out and you have a cozy Christmas jumper, why wait until Christmas when everyone else is wearing theirs, right?

We snapped this with Karen real quick before heading for Mexican dinner in town. I'm a poster child for Penneys again, but I have to stock up on their stuff before I leave, me thinks.

Details:

Jumper: Penneys/Primark (they forgot to put this up on the web, but it's definitely still in the shops)

Skirt: Penneys /Primark

Hat: Borrowed from Karen, also from Penneys/Primark

Shoes: bought in Barcelona yonks ago

Rainbows, lollipops & roller skates

If the good Lord had intended us to walk,

he wouldn't have invented roller skates.

I had so much fun taking these photos. I hadn't put on my roller skates in yeeeeears. It was great to know I can still skate and putting together this outfit was half of the fun. Skates are '80s retro so of course everything else followed. There's a whole story behind that jacket Back in 2011 I participated in a Fringe festival project in Dublin. A woman decided to declutter her house and opened up a shop, giving away all her stuff, in exchange for advice on lots of different things. She had a list of questions, and you could pick one question in exchange for one item. The website for the project is still up. So that's how I got this jacket. I wore this same pink tutu at Pride this year. You can't really see it but it sparkles. The skates I bought a while ago in Office. And the Star Wars backpack I borrowed from Karen. She says it's from Tesco and it used to contain boys swimwear? You can never have too much Star Wars stuff, especially borrowed stuff. 

Oh and if you squint you can see Pippi Longstocking on my necklace. It comes from Barcelona, I wish I remember the name of the shop.

Now my once-injured foot hurts but it was so worth it.

Thanks to Karen for all the photos and video <3

Preppy Librarian

This outfit comes entirely from Primark (Penneys in Ireland) and I'll probably be shunned from the 'fashion' blogging community for that. But I don't care. I love it. And it was super cheap, so it's a win win. I love the colour combination, and it's comfy and warm and it's a perfect attire for the office, school or the library (as in my case)
