A super dorky post today, because this pinafore is pretty juvenile. I found it at a costume sale at Bradford Playhouse a few years back, and it's still the 60s smock of my daydreams. I wore this to do boring stuff at the job centre and the market.

Also, I dyed my hair! I found some ancient dark brown hair dye in the toiletries stash and decided to go slightly darker on a whim. I had black hair when I was a teenage goth, but have not strayed too far from my light brown natural colour since I got it back. I consider this a reasonable success though!

Today was another day at work, spent transferring magnetic tapes and geeking over audio software. I broke out the smock that started my love for reclaiming the unfitted dress. Despite all the most horrific applications of muu muus and smocks as items of clothing to disguise and make invisible a fatter body, I have come to really love them as part of my more 60s/uniform moments. This beaut was found at a costume sale at Bradford Playhouse last summer, and is definitely a staple dress for daywear.

Also worth mentioning is this awesome Groupon voucher to get £20 worth of ASOS credit for £9. I had a £8 credit code for not having bought anything, so managed to score it for £1! It's apparently not valid on sale stuff, but will inevitably bring full price stuff down to a reasonable price for me. Yay!
