Personal style

I admit it, the inevitable happened and I gave in to temptation while on my style scouting trip the other day. Bad news for my will power. Good news for my wardrobe. And apparent good news for my personal style points!

I thought that I'd jump on the bandwagon and post a #todayi'mwearing picture on my social networking domains. (I would just put it on facebook, but the lure of a hashtag opportunity was just too much). Apparently, it was a good outfit. An ego-boosting amount of 'likes' were achieved. Much appreciated.

For those of you who are shaking in anticipation because the mystery is too much for you, fear not. Here is the picture:

There are many reasons why these 'personal style' posts may be few and far between on my blog. Firstly, my room is rarely tidy enough to present me with a fairly plain backdrop. Secondly, it's quite an awkward thing taking a photo of yourself full length in the mirror. Thirdly, it takes so bloody long for me to take a photo I am satisfied makes me look good enough to be judged by potentially every person with internet access forever more. (You would have thought those several years of emo posing would have paid off... but no). And finally, I rarely look as stylish as this. I can take very little credit here. It's a maxi dress from Topshop. I didn't even match a top and skirt. It's already put together for me. I didn't even bother putting shoes on.

So from a person who is in the know (which now includes you), this deserves a 3/10 for effort at most (I'll give myself a bit of credit for the multiple layers of red lipstick that I layered in hopes it wouldn't end up all over my face as usual).

So yeah, here's a cheeky personal style post. I hope you enjoyed it. Who knows if or when there will be another one...

but lets not lie, there's a 60% chance it'll feature a hat for good measure.
