Fueling the obsession

I went round the local charity shops today looking for objects to draw interesting still life compositions, but only managed to indulge my pearl and pastel coloured tweed addictions. The skirt was an amazing £1.50 in Oxfam, it's originally from Next and though the waist is a little big at the moment a small while on the sewing machine should fix this.
The faux pearl headband actually fits really well so hopefully no headband-ache from this pretty thing; bought brand new from the British Heart Foundation for 99p. A small while ago I entered Amy of Confessions of a Fashion Editor's blog birthday competition to complete the statement, "If I ruled the fashion world, I would..." with a somewhat long answer. OK, I actually went to bed afterwards and became vexed when I thought of more I could have said! Hmm, I think about these things too much. Anyway, I won! :) And my lovely, quirky prizes provided by Temporary:Secretary Jewelry arrived in the post today, aren't they nice!

Oh, nice find on the skirt! I really enjoy pastel tweed; it's such a tuff-style fabric.

Fabulous skirt find! I did not know they made "Keep Calm and Carry On" necklaces! It's a pretty big deal on tumblr, haha.
