I wear cardis all the time but would be great to find long sleeve/ three quarter sleeve dresses where there is no need:)

Cos, Zara, Warehouse, Dunnes and just about any other brand do sleeves at the moment. They are very much in fashion.

Extremely limited selection in those shops.The few out there are all shapeless.

Not too bothered tbh.

I don't wear make-up of any sort, not even on nights out. I don't really like the feel of it on my face, it's expensive and I don't want people expecting me to wear it. You'll just have to deal with my tired, pale face as it is. Plus it means I can lie in longer in the mornings. Very important. I only ever wear it when other girls offer to do it for me using their own stuff cos they are curious to see what I'd look like. Win win for me, I spend no money and don't have to do anything but sit there.

I don't do anything with my nails, as I find nails gross and since I'm doing a nursing course I can't really have them done anyway except cutting the short

I don't use fake tan either, again the effort, the mess, the smell of it and the fact it could look awful. I don't naturally tan so it probably wouldn't look right either.

As for skincare I occasionally use a body scrub and a moisturiser on my face after a shower. Dunno if it makes much of a difference though.

My hair is a frizzy mess that no conditioner seems able to manage so I usually stick it up in a bun (again I have to when on placement). Can't do anything much fancier than a bog-standard plait. Very jealous of my friends who have perfectly straight hair and barely even need straighteners. I do use straighteners on nights out sometimes but as soon as I go outside it frizzes up again.

I've no fashion sense at all. Mostly wear casual tops/t-shirts from pennys/new look with skinny jeans (I hope they stay in style for ages or Ill be even worse).

And honestly, if wasn't for the social pressure to have shaved legs, I probably wouldn't even do that.

Very arsed I'd say. I have my hair dyed and cut every 6-8 weeks,I love getting massages, mani-and pedicures. I work in customer service so I give a lot of my time and energy to other people and really feel like these are the little moments where I can relax and accept some giving in return.
Clothes: I always loved dressing up and really like to buy new stuff. I was a Goth throughout my teens and early twenties in long heavy medieval-style gowns or skirts/tops and slowly evolved to a more pin-up style look. Those clothes are expensive for either style so I always had to go for quality rather than quantity and I love my heels. I only own one pair of flat shoes and rarely wear them :P
I have eczema so I have to take really good care of my skin: I'm a big fan of Weleda and clean my skin twice a day with a tonic, water and then use moisturizer. The only time I do not wear make-up is when I'm home alone or when I need to quickly run some errands. Otherwise it's foundation, powder, a bit of blusher, red or purple lipstick, black eyepencil, some purple or black eyeshadow and mascara. I think I'm still in my Goth period make-up wise :P
I'm not very good when it comes to styling my hair so I tend to leave it as it is, but I'd love to learn how to do vintage hairstyling and learning to mess around with my hair.
