Firstly, can we talk about how excited I am about being able to plait my hair again? Obviously it's not long enough for proper plaits, but it's getting there. And even that is very exciting news.
Secondly, you know, when you buy something and mentally pair it with something to make an outfit? This shirt is one of those items, and I rarely wear it with something else than these leggings. Pretty sure there's another post from a couple of years ago with me wearing the exact same combination, but never you mind!
Thirdly and lastly, to match the gold tones of the leggings and the golden threads in the shirt, I dug up a few of my gold pieces from the jewellery box. You might've seen the Topshop rings briefly in one of my daily photos, and really love them. I might have been wearing them all the time, but I mean, you can't really overuse rings, can you? Whereas I've been wearing the rings almost daily, I've also realized I've many things that I love but don't use as much. After I got these earrings from my mum they've been a favourite that I used to wear all the time when I was ~17. Similarly, when I got the little angel necklace, I never took it off my neck for almost two years until the original chain broke. I was ten when that happened and it possibly took me another ten years to replace the chain.. But now I love it just as much and wish I still wore it as much. It's funny how you can have those go-to pieces that are a staple for you for years and then at some point you just change them. Or perhaps replace them. It's not as if I started disliking any of them, I just can't see myself having the same earrings or the same necklace every day right now. The only piece of jewellery that I actually do have on me at all times is the wee silver (ooh, I'm still wearing gold&silver at the same time, controversial!) ring on my right lil' finger. Even that is just something that I've only gotten so used to in five (I think?) years that it'd be strange without it. And it's been on my finger so long now, that if I take it off my finger looks deformed.
Right, cool story Laura. Maybe go get some sleep. (Especially when talking to oneself in the third person..) See you later, lovelies♥!

Oh, I love your outfit and photos! All of your jewelry is gorgeous. And congrats on growing out your hair enough to braid it! I'm kind of going through the same thing with growing out my bangs, by not on the same scale ♥

Oh my gosh I love that shirt! I have a thing for second hand shirts - about 30% of my wardrobe is shirts/blouses which is an insane amount as I have so few skirts / leggings to pair them with haha. Also love the stories about all your pieces of jewellery! I always have my watch on me - it's gold and a 21st birthday present and I feel completely naked if I forget toput it on. xx
I love your plaited hair! Those rings are so pretty :) xx
My hair is getting longer and I am excited as well! High five to us woo!
Gorgeous photos, I love your leggings and that shirt look so comfy xx
Have a great weekend doll!

Tosi nättejä kuvia! :-) Mä oon kanssa viime aikoina täysin hurahtanut sormuksiin, ihan arkilookkiinkin kuuluu sormukset joka sormessa :D Mutta niitä ei vaan voi olla liikaa!
Such fun photos! Your hair is adorable.
Your hair looks so pretty in these pics! I remember when I was growing my hair out and was so excited when I could start to do plaits again too! Love the earrings as well. xxx

Your jewelry is so pretty! And the grainy photos fit perfectly with the style of your outfit; it gives it a nice vintage look.
You're totally right that you can't overuse rings haha, i wear my H&M rings all the time!
How special that you have bits of mom's and grandma's jewelry to wear; sentimental stuff is the best. Really love those earrings and plaits. Well-styled!
Lovely photos! xo

Hi! Yes I posted :) Sorry, I've been hibernating during this non stop freezing Canadian winter. It just won't leave :( Did I tell you I love the pretty hair in your pic. You inspired me to do this style for work today :) Also, I learned a new word thanks to you: plait. As if that means braid, how cool!
And thanks, yeah I can't wait for the next few weeks to go by. So excited for the road trip!
Amy - ah, thank you, lovely! and good luck with the hair-growing, that can be so annoying as well, haha:-) xx
Laila - 2nd hand shirts are so great! and i feel like i don't have enough skirts/leggings to pair them with either, haha! and thank you, lady:-) the good thing about my ring is that i only take it off when washing my hair so i never really forget to put it back on! xx
