I'd been meaning to go all holiday - there are many examples like this where I wait and wait and wait 'til the last minute and almost (or do) miss great stuff.
Basically, this is going to be a two-part post... This is about my clothes today... Because I am impatient and can't wait to put them up... And part 2 - next week - will be about the artist, collection and exhibition itself!
So. Here goes.
Shocked. Bright legs. Art. Light.
Wearing - Red M&S tights, ubiquitous ToyWatch, ASOS.com horse print shorts, Motel lace back dress (wrong way around) over Tavi / Borders and Frontiers teeshirt and Hush Puppy black sheer-lace-up heeled Oxfords. Oh, and in the first two pics, I'm also covering up with the ever-useful Tibetan shawl and carrying the UBER-CHIC (not) laptop bag!
The exhibition was at New Hall (now Murray Edwards, but we still call it the old name...) College, which is what's called a 'hill college' - i.e. out of town by about 15 minutes or so - FAR in Cambridge terms, AND it's all girls... Eek. I like my 70:30 boys to girls ratio thank you very much! ;-D (More about New Hall's art collection in Part 2!)
It was the first properly sunny day we've had (in Cambridge - I'm excepting my sunny Hampshire Easter Monday here...) in ages. Bliss. Not quite warm enough for uncovered legs, but certainly teeshirt weather!
Sorry for the short-ish post. I've got several hundred more dissertation words to do before bed. Sigh.

Hi! Your style is really cool:) By the way, I saw that you were wondering where the shoes worn by the 2nd person on the blog "The Sartorialist"!!! Well I know actually... Luella!! Anyway, just thought you'd like to know:)

Oh good grief, red tights. I am so in love with red tights. I want a pair, but I have no idea to wear them with. Maybe I could just buy them for a future special occasion?
By the way, I never made it to the library. That said, I visited one vicariously through you! :)

i love the colour of those bright red tights.
great outfit!
and you have a fabulous blog.
i am so glad i just came across it.
the whole blog is just wrong... I am really annoyed I had to watch all those pictures... which are again wrong...
were they taken in the 80s and you just uploaded them now?
you really need to get rid of these disgunting and old fashioned clothes, not to mention the 200 stones you need to drop off...
do you dress yourself with a total lack of light? in the most absolut darkness, don´t you?
I hope you re-think about the whole blog thing and you close it forever and ever so you make a favour to the world and do not leave any testimonial of the worldwide damage you occasionate every time you try to dress yourself up.
you really lack of any sense of style, and needed to tell you in case your friends are not doing it yet... which seems to be very true
take care
ooh! a blog hater! how exciting. i must have *arrived* ;-D
oh.. dont care what they said! but i love your skirt! beautiful pattern!
nice blog, sweetie.
visit my blog too..
xoxo
oh, that's not too bad if they're not an anonymous person.
i've ever got one like that, and... it sucks! lol.
anyway, it doesnt matter if you replied their comment.
yeah, they do deserve to be replied (impolitely).
lol.
Amazing red tights! Love love love.
love all the shots! it reminds me that i have a red tights waiting for me in the closet

i love how you paired the red tights with those shorts. really cute!
Love the leggings! You make such fun fashion choices, and I love that you'll put a piece on backwards to make it more unique. Thanks for the inspiration!
Lol at the hater, those people seriously need to get a life.
You are so working the red tights! I love how you've worn the motel dress backwards, too, it looks so nice :).
I love peoples reactions when I wear red tights too, a teacher at my sixth form once made the joke 'Ouch you've got bad sunburn'. How lame.
