WEDNESDAY, WHAT DAY?


Today has been a fail, of epic proportions.

I found my dream job a couple of days ago, a short train journey away from my home. I figured today was the perfect day to take in my application. Turns out, not so perfect.

I ended up driving around an obviously full [but you always expect there to be a 'magic' free space] car park three times, slowing down to an almost halt at least twice when passing a man who I was sure was heading back to his car. No-no, he was just walking, in fact, I'm pretty sure he was running away by the second time.

I settled on a space in the street, walked towards the station and then remembered that my bank card was sat at home on the kitchen table. Did the whole cover-up-the-awkwardness fake phone-call; feigning shock and surprise at a false but apparently important happening to justify the fact that I was turning back towards the exact spot I had left two minutes ago, like a loon.

So, by half ten I was playing music full blast on the way home, cursing my absolute idiocy and singing along to One Direction in despair.

You can probably tell I don't really deal with these situations well. If at all. But hey ho, mum ended up driving me back to the station so I could get it in today, and after a dose of this lovely sunshine I was right as rain. Til I tripped up in town. Cue another awkward cover up and I figure my life is back on track: awkward as ever.

I wore this dress that I picked up for a mere £7 in Dotty P's. It's a little short, but as long as I wear it on non-windy days I'll be fine. Paired it with some sunnies and a lovely bag I was sent from Boohoo - I'm so impressed with it that I've got another post lined up just to waffle on about that, but yes, big thank you to Boohoo for that one!

Right, I'm off to be my awkward, forgetful self in the safety of my own home now. I don't think society is ready for it to be honest.

The internet however...well, you lot are far more forgiving :)

Ah no they do say bad things come in 3's though so no parking space, no bank card and tripping up opens the way for good luck for the job :) Lovely dress :) xx

Oooh, your blog is looking stunning lady! As are you, that dress looks really pretty on ya :)

Don't feel bad about tripping up, I was walking to a vintage fair at my old uni yesterday and fell flat on my face. That shows me for trying to strut like a successful alumni student!
