Casual Work Wear

Today was my first day as a language assistant in a school here in Murcia. It still is my first day as it is only midday but I am currently waiting to hear from el director to see if he has sorted my timetable and wants me to come in for the afternoon. It is all very exciting!

 

Over the weekend, I was thinking to myself what on Earth am I going to wear for school?! I love saying that: school. Anyway, I settled for my Zara black maxi skirt, a patterned t-shirt and a short sleeved, long(ish) cardigan that Mum bought me for Christmas. With my trusty black boots to finish it off. It is a very casual look, but a little less casual than black leggings and a t-shirt. This kind of outfit will come out at some point during the week.

 

I love doing these kind of outfit posts so feast your beautiful eyes on this casual work wear one.

 

 

An outfit for every day of the week.

 

As always, these outfits have been made up from the Topshop and River Island clothes. I really can't wait to go home at Easter and have a decent shopping day in town.

 

I've gone for a mixture of looks to keep it interesting. I can't imagine the day when (if!) I have to wear a plain trouser/skirt suit every day for five days of the week. If I have anything to do with my career path (which obviously I do) I will be going to the office in things like this. Maybe not the jeans as that may be too casual. Over in Spain, pretty much anything goes so that is why a pair of jeans have graced the outfit board.

 

This morning, I was shown around the school a little bit. It is huge. Like I said, I haven't received my horario (timetable) yet which I may get if they call me to go back in this afternoon. Fingers crossed I get it today or tomorrow so that I can sort Madrid and home out!

 



What I Bought Yesterday

Yesterday, I went to Nueva Condomina for some necessities (and some sale splurges). I ended up spending quite a bit of money whilst walking around the shopping centre for hours. That is the reason why I don't go to that place a lot. I spend way to much money in there.

 

Stradivarius:

 

 

One of the reasons I needed to go shopping was to buy a skirt like the one above. It was only six euros!! It may need an iron. I go to London tomorrow and needed something to wear on Saturday night. I'll be having (sophisticated) cocktails at Slug & Lettuce. I'll be teaming the skirt with a black lace bralet - I don't care that it has been snowing - one of the above shirts (probably the skull one), black tights and black wedges. I wanted a shirt to go over the top of the outfit and saw these two beauties from the new collection in the store. They were 12.95 each but I really liked them; not that I'll wear them much but ah well!

 

Zara:

 

I saw the top first and really like it. I love saying/image vest tops recently. There were no smalls so I had to buy a medium. It's a little baggy but if I tuck it into a skirt it looks good. Green is my favourite colour, and emerald is the colour of my birthstone so I just had to pick up the first skirt pictured. It was in the sale for 19.95 as was the black silk skirt. I really liked them both when I tried them on. The top was around 6 euros too. I can justify all the buys so it is fine that I've bough another two maxi skirts and another vest top.

 

Botticelli:

 

I really wanted to buy another bag for the plane tomorrow. I was going to take my new blue handbag with the skull on but I doubt that I'd get everything in there. My Mum suggested my bright hippy-style backpack which I thought about but that against my black Pull and Bear coat would not work at all. Hence the need for a new bag. It looks kind of small but I think I can get all I need in there for my long weekend away. It has a load of different zip compartments inside which is really good for putting my passport, boarding passes, phone, I-pod etc. in. I still need to print my boarding passes off! For less than 25 euros aswell, I think it is a pretty good bargain!

 

I got a job at the local school instead of going to university too! I found out in the early hours of the morning. I am so ecstatic that I have the job and don't have to go back to that uni! And what better way to celebrate than flying back to London tomorrow for a long weekend! I am far too excited. I do have to get up at the latest 7am tomorrow morning to catch the 8am bus to the airport. It will be worth it when I am back in The Union with my friends and eating at the local Ask Italian!

 

For the rest of my day, I'll be deciding what to pack, packing, skyping my parents and going for Italian tonight for a friends leaving meal.

 



Winter Warmers

Another Saturday afternoon was spent at Nueva Condimina, buying things which I may not be able to afford. To be fair to myself, the majority of the money I spent was for various birthday/Christmas presents. I did, however, buy myself three things which are Winter Warmers and things that I will definitely be taking home with me this December.

 

 

Coat: Pull & Bear

Scarf: Zara

Top: Shana

 

At the moment, I am going through a stage of wanting black things, with studs on, combined with skull prints, topped off with heavy jewellery. I remember, during first year how I'd always wear bright colours despite it being Winter, and my flatmates would say that I always looked summery. Last year, I went through a stage of living in black tops and black leggings. Now, I get to wear summery clothes all the time, but can't really wear anything black because it is just too warm. That's another reason why I want to return to England (apart from missing home loads lately), I want to be able to wear Autumn/Winter fashion, and wrap up in a chunky knit with my leggings on, and a blanket wrapped around me, in front of the fire. I worked out that it is 65 days until I return home! I am beyond excited!

 

Until then, I have my new friends, nights out, the beach, and the sun to keep me going.

 

 



You Have Three Wishes

One of my wishes would be to be able to buy whatever clothes I wanted, whenever I wanted: very selfish of me... And, if any girl who loves fashion denies that she would do the same, she is a liar.

 

I haven't made a wishlist in a while, since Christmas last year I think, but at the moment, I am lusting after so many clothes/shoes/jewellery/accessories etc. that I had to make a quick October Wishlist post! At the moment, my bank is very much hating me so I'm trying to reign in the spending. Trying, but failing. Plus, Christmas is coming up, and if I buy anyone presents, I spoil them. I like to spoil people, and make sure they have the best present ever!

 

Keep on wishing...

 

 

The majority of this is from good old Topshop & River Island of course, as all my posts usually consist of! As you can also see, I am going through another 'rock chick'/'biker' phase yet again! It will never get old, especially as there is a load of studs and leather out in the stores right now.

 

I now need to rush off to my two hour lecture until eight! It is, however, 30 degrees today in Sunny Spain!
