Hippie Times

This is the kind of outfit that represents me the best! Hippie chic/cool and eclectic! I wish I could just dress like that all that time, but I do get the occasional weird look!!

These photos were taken as I came back from work on Saturday night... I am really quite tired this week and I'm glad we didn't take any close-ups! But aren't those pictures fun with my gorgeous kitten?! I am having a busy week... Seems like I say that every week eh? On a positive note, I am doing loads of cross stitching and am in the process of preparing a post to show it all off! Part of what I'm doing are as presents, one for a birthday and the other for a baby shower and I already showed you a little something not long ago =) 

Harem Pants / Festival Stall (LPF) ; Waistcoat / Festival Stall (Womad) ; Top / Pimkie ;

Socks / M&S ; Shoe Boots / Hand me down (mum's)

I am excited to go to that workshop starting Friday! But unfortunately that means quite a lot of days without seeing Lewis, seeing as all of our hours are backwards - when I work mornings he works evenings and vice versa - this week we're already not seeing much of each other so an extra 3 days apart will be weird. What's even weirder is that since we've lived here it's only the second time I am away from the house and he stays here! While he was away working at festivals all summer long in 2011 and went on holiday with his mates, I stayed in London to work. I only went home to France for my sister's 18th birthday and that was only for 5 days in June! All in all, I'm not a huge fan of sleepovers at other people's houses - or in this case a youth hostel and lots of co-counsellors; I'm a bit of a hermit that way; and I find socialising for too long is simply exhausting - a few hours and I'm good! But, I am doing it for my own good, I will feel the fear and will do it anyway!
