all change

i've decided to make some little day-to-day changes with my style this week. i don't know why. i think it may have something to do with me being supremely poor at the moment and not having any spare cash for any new purchases! today's little challenge for me may seem a little trivial as it's something most of you would do anyway, but i never have been brave enough... if you're wondering what on earth i could be talking about, i mean a short tunic and leggings. seriously. i've just always felt really overexposed in a top and leggings, it makes me self-conscious. but today i thought i'd give it a go:

• cardigan - primark, i think?
• tunic - h&m
• stirrup leggings - topshop
• ankle boots - primark

it sounds a little silly to be a bit scared of wearing something so common, but it was quite a big thing for me, especially as wearing heels in the daytime makes me feel pretty self-conscious because i am quite tall. it doesn't really help that all the boys at college are quite short for men - they're all about the same height as me or shorter, there's only one boy over six foot! - and they always comment on how tall i am when i wear heels, which only adds to my awkwardness! but char at fashion squeah! posted today about wearing heels and i totally feel the same way - i am determined to be more confident about being tall and walking confidently in huge heels throughout next year. 2009 is officially the year of the heel, wish me luck...!
