This is just an outfit I picked up off my bedroom floor for a mooch around the shops at the weekend. I seem to have acquired a post-Christmas-spending-spree induced mound of clothing on my floor and thought I'd better wear them, if only to make my bedroom look a little tidier. I really love this shirt; I've been looking for the perfect tartan shirt for the longest time - who'd have thought I'd find it in the mens section of Next? I don't usually shop in Next - much less from the mens section - but I was helping my brother get some ideas for the groom and groomsmen suits for his wedding in March (nothing like leaving it to eight weeks before the event, eh?) and that's when I saw it. I'm trying to ignore that fact that I had to buy a large in mansizes and just concentrate on the dreamy deep greens, blues and reds that make this shirt the perfect winter accompaniment to staple (faux) leather pieces, such as this biker skirt. Does pairing the shirt with my uber cute new backpack count as print clashing? I received this for Christmas and I'm in love with the Burberry-esque velvet heart print. I feel like a little schoolgirl wearing it!

As I sit here typing away in my cosily-lit bedroom with my lamps and my brand new Vanilla Cupcake scented Yankee Candle and my tartan bootie-style slippers (am I a proper blogger yet?), I'm brainstorming a few new design ideas for Just a Thought...something a little more minimalist but a bit more girly, I think. Just a Thought is a year and a half old and, if I'm honest, I'm just a bit sick of looking at the design! Or maybe, as I've recently changed up my room and cut my hair, I've become a borderline obsessive redecorator who just doesn't know when to stop? Actually, although I don't really make New Year's Resolutions, one thing I have promised myself this year is that I really want to put more effort into this blog. Having gone from straight from being a student to interning to working, I haven't always had the time to put as much effort in as I'd have liked. Now I have, and will - starting with a redesign. I want something a little less in-ya-face. We'll see how goes though, I still need to break the news to my boyfriend that I need him to recode it all for me...
