Varsity Jumps

What I'm Wearing: Forever 21 Varsity Jacket, Beginning Boutique Black Stripe Skater Skirt, ASOS Suede Boots & Oversized Sunglasses
Photobucket Now girls, January can often be my "blue month" - the 30 days I dislike most of the whole year- where days tick past as slow as weeks and every time you step out of the house, its raining or so cold you wanna cry. But as Aristotle said "Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence" - and so even when work is hard, you are single (and not so ready to mingle) and the winter makes your bones feel sad- you just gotta stay happy. Life revolves around your state of mind, and so, let's face it, everything works out better when you pour your energies into keeping content. And what better way than by throwing on a Varsity jacket, jumping around in the rainy streets, pretending its sunny warm and you are starring in your very own music video. Right?! So girls, here is my message to you today, how much better would winter be if we  all tried to stay as happy as we do warm? And so, as well as wrapping that scarf tight around your neck, keep a smile up on that face too. Because life is short but hey, it should always be sweet too. More tomorrow!

I love this post. The jumping pictures are fab and the Aristotle quote is just what I needed to hear :) It's been a bad week for me and I am feeling sad. This has inspired me to go out with the girls for dinner tonight now x

I always hated these kind of jackets because of little annoying people who wear them, but you have made this one look so fashionable, you can make anything look amazing :) Lovely message too!

Such a lovely reminder to cure our winter blues. The varsity jacket with the fit & flare skirt is so darling and retro chic. x

I think is so much easier trying to be happy that the opposite, at least it is to me. Being in a bad mood makes me waste my energy and feel even worse.

The jacket is perfect to mix with a lot of different clothes, I like what you did. Besides, you people are crazy going out bare legs! I've seen a lot of people doing it lately :)
