Uniform

I got to choose my uniform from work last week, and on top of that got to choose a free outfit! I won an incentive where there were two lists of girls products, the 10 worst sellers and the 10 best sellers. Whoever sold the most from both of those lists won, and got to pick any top and any bottom of their choice, and it was me! For my uniform I got a pair of blue cord 479s, which are booty flares, and a maroon girls cardigan, which add up to my budget of £140 exactly. For my free outfit I chose the slightly more expensive things I've had my eye on, that wouldn't fit into my uniform budget. A guys navy knit jumper (because it gets soooo cold during winter, it'll be nice and cosy and it's also slighlty military style so is pretty grunge and beautiful), and some girls 501 boyfriend fit. I NEVER wear anything other than skinnies, so to be buying two non-skinnies is quite strange. I was however, planning to sew the flares in to make them skinny. Quite a task, but they're the only style we have in cords on girls and I haven't had any in years so fancied some. I went for the 501s because I've slowly warmed to them since seeing customers try them on. When they first came in I wouldn't have considered them at all because they're so different to what I normally wear, but now I love them. (Probably more of a summer jean but oh well!) I also have some rollovers that I can still wear, including a guys denim shirt and my dark indigo high waisted skinnies, so I'll have quite a lot of choice seen as I only work 2 days a week.

My list I had of things I needed to do today...

• Dye my hair: tick
• Sew my 479s in: tick (I wish my camera hadn't broken, I could have put up before and after pics!)
• Do some sketchbook work: tick
• Pick my 35mm colour film up (from the doll shoot): tick
  

All done! My film seems to have come out well. I prefer the images to the digital ones, they just seem a lot more crisp. I'm going to start printing those in the morning, then will hopefully have chance to finish them next week.

I also found an interesting artist.....his work looks just like photographs, even though he uses oil on canvas.

They're pretty freaky. I like them!
