Let's kill grey.

I am so sick of the gloomy weather right now. It's actually affecting my mental health. So it's about time we took the situation into our own hands and killed the grey...

The weather seems to think that summer is never going to happen. That's unacceptable. Seriously - are your just going to sit there and let the weather get away with this?!

No! Let us rebel!

We shall not stand for this any longer! If the weather wont make it sunny, we must take the situation into our own hands.

Let's face it. This is pretty much our only option. I'm sorry it has had to come to this.

... But it has.

Strip out all signs of grey from your wardrobe. Throw it out! Seriously, that stuff is depressed.

In order to be a positive person, you must surround yourself with positive things. Grey is bad for your mental stability.

Now I demand that we all start wearing colour. As much as possible. Right away.

We've got to dress as much like it's summer as we possibly can - taking the circumstances into consideration, of course.

The aim: To make the world a happier place by cheering people up as you pass them on the street. So here's 4 ways of injecting colour into your look:

Same garments, brighter colours...

Pink jeans are a yes. Jeans are jeans after all. The colour of them doesn't make them any hotter/colder. So wear ones in happy colours.

Chunky knits are necessary in this freezing coldness. Wearing a white chunky knit will keep your outfit bright, whilst keeping you snugly warm at the same time! It's the perfect choice.

All hail opaque black tights...

Dig the summer clothes out of your wardrobe and dress like it's 30 degrees outside.

Now stick on some 80 denier opaque lack tights. Voila! Perfection.

It's summer if your hair says so... 

If you don't want to buy new colourful clothes and you hate your old ones, dying the crap out of your hair is definitely the answer!

A box of dye usually only costs around a fiver. Get a permanent one and you'll never be sad again. Happy days!

Take action now! And remember - if you're thinking of picking out something grey to wear tomorrow, you'll make people around you depressed. That's screwed up. You better think again...

Will you be brightening the lives of everyone around you from now on?!

My fashion epiphany...

As you may already be aware, my name is Jasmin Andrade and I'm addicted to shoes. It's genuinely shameful. But today is (hopefully!) the day that things might finally change!

I'm that girl who clicks side panel adverts on web pages if they involve shoes. Shoe shops' displays vacuum me in for at least 5 minutes at a time. I'm always on the hunt for my next pair of shoes. Even if I just bought a pair.

I'm THAT bad.  

If people monitored the amount of time I spend oggling shoes they would probably refer me to 'Shoe Addiction Rehab'.

So today I had an epiphany. It all started yesterday when I did everything I could - beg, borrow, steal - to get not one, but THREE new pairs of new shoes:

No, your vision's not going funny. They are in fact all 'same same but different' (I've loved that phrase ever since travelling to Thailand!). 

Here's my reasoning / what I'm using to justify my purchases:

Those shoes you see pictures of above are not JUST shoes! This is where my epiphany comes in...  

A feature of these shoes might just SOLVE my shoe problem. It could make me feel like I'm wearing different statement footwear every time I leave the house:

!!!!!!!!!! DIFFERENT COLOURED LACES !!!!!!!!!!

Kaching! Booyah! I've really outdone myself this time, right!? GENIUS.

The idea is that one day I will end up with laces in every single colour imaginable. And (hopefully) new shoes will no longer be necessary! 

I will no longer have to SPLURGE out on new shoes... All I'll need to do is splash out on a new pair of laces every day! 

I'm overjoyed with my epiphany! I feel like I've just got a buy-one-get-one-for-every-colour-of-the-rainbow-free AND MORE deal! This is huge. Oh, the endless possibilities!

Do you reckon this is the answer to all my problems? Let me know :)
