For the longest time I've stayed away from patterns because, let me be honest here, I didn't like or feel comfortable in patterns and colours but I decided to suck it up and wear this out today. I went to the Amber Whitecliffe's Parnell store yesterday and got this golden skirt I had my eye on ever since the Summer 14/15 launch a few weeks ago, so in celebration of this golden skirt, I decided to do it justice instead of downplaying it and opting for another black outfit. Go big or go home? Is that what people say these days? If I were to tell my 16-year-old self something, one of the things would be take more risks when dressing myself. If I walked into a store and saw something I liked but the back or front wasn't what I expected, on the rack it goes back. I'd get scared and walk away because it was out of my comfort zone so 16-year-old Nicole, stop doing that. It's an advice I'd give to myself even now, I do take that advice, but a constant reminder would be helpful. These shots are also very dark because it was about to rain, dammit. Outfit details below.
I've been set in New Zealand schools since Year 2 - Today, 2014 flags my last day of High School. There isn't one person in this world that is able to say, "I had a smooth school life", because that's definitely not true and I am no exception to that rule. Despite the tough school life that includes being bullied (the typical), switching schools and friendship issues (even more cliché), it doesn't make me hate school, surprisingly. I wanted to take a step back and see how it felt to walk through those school gates - everything felt the same except the height of everything. Seats were lower down, playgrounds shorter and stairs shorter. One step and I could get to the top of the stairs. Today I wore this outfit to fit the occasion. The setting isn't any of my schools, just a school I thought looked pretty and the outfit doesn't look remotely like my past uniforms, but the mood was similar so that's all that matters. Outfit details below.
