I am now pretty sure I have SAD. Seasonal Affective Disorder.
It began as a joke, with Laura et al making fun; but after an absolutely gorgeous week/end, weather wise (I realise another Brit talking weather does get rather repetitive; but living in West Yorkshire, the exclamation should rightfully arise.)
I have been v.happy, despite the thought of looming deadlines and mountains of work etc. Although, I think to some extent everyone has SAD. Notably, moods are distinctly lower when miserable weather surrounds; and Saturday, while at work, I noticed the happy moods of everyone.
Dropping everything, reaching for the suncream and donning flip flops, for a trip to town to buy new sandals; the sun has everyone wrapped around it's little finger. And working in a shoe shop, the number of sandal/wedges/flip flops yesterday was astronomical.
The sun is an instant mood elevator!


Anyway; we had our first barbecue of the year on Friday; including driving up to Tesco after college, buying meat, bread and cider. And the barbie actually worked; a revelation in comparison to past years.
Yesterday we going to Andy's as it's his birthday today. A gathering of some lovely people, the outdoors and his kitchen that had turned into "an all you can eat buffet" was fun.

The outfit above is from today, a morning of college and now an afternoon/evening of some more Arcade Fire, English essays, paintings, dress making and a singing lesson.

Happy days to all:)

  2. Apparently the SAD thing has something to do with seratonin (?) anyway, I agree, the weather makes us all feel particularly happy/sad, its definitely a British thing! I also LOVE your outfit, its really quite cute!

  4. You are seriously one of my favorite bloggers. Every outfit is impeccable!

    I understand what you're saying about SAD. I think it affects most people to some extent! I'm really bad in the fall...I'm so glad we're moving past that now and on to better--and brighter--times.

    I wish I could find some nice ones, alas all male loafers look like something my grandad owns...and not in a cool way :/
