Yorkshire Walking

28 June 2014

Ilkley, West Yorkshire, UK
One side of the Cow and Calf rocks, Ilkley.
Sometimes I have days, where I want to just wear the biggest, baggiest jumper I can find, the thickest, cosiest pyjama bottoms I can find and spends 6 hours straight on Netflix. To me, that's a good Saturday. But I have a lot of errands to run, including walking my neighbours dog that I have volunteered to take care of. The weather is super warm today, so a t-shirt like this that is thin and airy is perfect because I won't get to warm walking up hill. I love to walk, much more that I like to jog, and music always motivates me to actually keep moving because I end up strutting and occasionally posing and miming to the music in my ears. I'll be walking around Ilkley Moor, which is where the Cow and Calf rocks are in West Yorkshire. A lot of people chose the climb them, but I personally just like the view. It's a great place to walk because of the huge hill and amazing sights, it's my go-to dog walking spot as walking around the Cow and Calf works up a sweat, and is always super rewarding. I'm choosing to wear leggings over shorts today as the sun keeps peeping in and out which is changing the temperature a little. On high ground, there's also a bit of a breeze and my best option is to avoid getting cold. As I'm flat-footed, after a while, my feet start to hurt and my trainers are perfect for a long walk like today because they're heavily cushioned inside which keeps my toes cosy. I can't wait to get walking. Have a nice weekend!

TOTALLY TRANQUIL TUESDAY

13 May 2014

Eldwick, Bingley, West Yorkshire BD16, UK
I'll be spending the entire day working from home as I have only one lesson and my teacher isn't available. I would say one of the perks of being in sixth form are the free periods and cancelled lessons. It's like the weight of textbooks lifted off your shoulders. So as I won't be going anywhere today, I'm wearing this huge floaty shirt from Primark. I bought this shirt two sizes bigger because I know Primark sizes can bit a little smaller than other shops, but I wanted the shirt to be quite floaty and oversized because I love the pattern. It has a mirror effect all over with swans and flowers everywhere. I think it's a great top for spring because of the traces of pastel colours which were a major trend in spring, and the hints of floral - another huge trend on the spring catwalks. 
I'm also wearing plain black leggings that my mum made, that have a disco-like effect in them. These leggings are made out of a stretchier fabric that plain jersey leggings which makes them super soft and comfortable, great for a lazy day in. Finally, my shoes are from Sports Direct, and the brand is Nike. I don't wear shoes inside, but if I were to nip out, I would wear these shoes because they brighten up the bottom of my outfit, as my leggings are dark, and the colour tones well with my shirt.
