OUTFIT POST: In which I look like a giant marshmallow. Also hi.

 Surprise! It me. 

I was recently having a chat with an old friend recently over a pint, and she said "Oh by the way, my friend the other day said "I didn't realise you know MessyCarla?""

Yikes. I haven't been called that in a long fucking time which caught me a bit off guard.
Hello, whoever you are.

Out of morbid curiosity, I somehow managed to log in here, and was surprised to find that my little hole in the internet still gets around 10,000 hits per month. Hardly an influencer numbers, but still. 

Looking through 15 years of blogs definitely gave me a chuckle - from the sheer Millennial cringe (oh, but to be cringe is to be free) to the "fashion" choices. Some of which are a slay like, not gonna lie. Some pieces are still lying in the recesses of my cheap Swedish furniture. 

There's a lot of talk around the return of indie sleaze, which honestly as someone who was there the first time round and still managed to be tragically uncool does warm the cockles of my chilly little heart. 

Also howl that my last outfit post was in 2017 (case in point - I still have that beret) I think I should post my most recent.

I think long-time readers will be happy to find that I'm still dressing like an absolute knacka. 

Nice to know that Blogger still manages to make all images extra crunchy. Never change, guys.

DRESS: Lazy Oaf x MyMelody
CARDIGAN: Asda
EARRINGS: ¥300 shop
BOW: Present
BOOTS: Dr Martens


As you can see, a perfectly normal outfit for a nearly 36-year-old.

Which is wild to say honestly - seeing as I started this blog during my last year of university, in my sad mouldy student flat when I was just 20. 

When I told my sister about my stats, she's encouraged me to start writing here again. About what, I'm not quite sure. The idea of attending an influencer event brings me out in a rash, but I am starting to experiment with little vlogs and reels and stuff lately.


Actually using the media degree I was supposed to be studying for instead of writing here? Full circle.


Anyhoo, hope yous have all been good. 
If you've been here from the long long ago, I recommend getting a decent eye cream. 

Muchos love, (do I still have to sign off like this? Cringe.)
Carla.
