This day was uninspired & provoked me to venture into Arndale Shopping Centre and finally purchase a grey blazer. I was told I had matured as a 20year old as i didn't make a birthday wishlist this year.....so as you know. I HAD to break that 'maturity' curse & make a list...on it, a grey blazer.

My room's been SUCH a tip recently!! I feel so discombobulated but I'm REALLY tryna patch my life together so I need time.

The first few days of new hair, you feel indecisive of what looks suit you so bear with me on this day....very simple & bordering on ghetto if you ask me lol.

I feel like I always dress to my hair....lol so with this short crop, I find myself dressing more conservative and less 'wild' per se.
I got my monthly allowance and lets just say, Arndale called my name yet again....i went nuts purchasing the perfect dress is SUCh a hassle...but another day, another blogpost. Ended up buying this sleeveless cardigan...the detail is to die for with a sequin trimming and see through mesh....

Well that's been a week or so worth. But at this very minute, I am at home in London, lying on my oh so comfortable bed, soaking up the memories of today. It was AMAZING! I went for an Open Day at Brick Court Chambers and guys, i think I'm set!! I'm excited because now there is NO doubt in my mind that I want to go against my odds and break the glass ceiling set above me for both being a woman and a member of an ethnic minority group and become a member of THE BAR!!
I'm sooooo excited!! This is what I've ALWAYS wanted and now I feel like my time has come to take my rightful place in this world. SO much ish has happened as of recent that has turned me up & down, but today made me settle. I am adamant I heard a voice say "E Bia go nu" (Translation: You have come!)
Indecisions...Indecisions...Indecisions...
Well, what to wear on a day that could make or break my future? I turned to the runway ofcourse!
My inspiration? CHLOE! Remember my much sought after pegleg blogpost? Well, if you remember, I purchased them out of impatience, on ASOS and this felt like the right day to rock' em!!
So...Introducing....the next black, female QC and World Renowned Corporate Bitch....
Shirt = TM Lewin (my sister's...yes I borrowed it! Sorry x)
Pegleg Trousers = ASOS
Tights = Marks & Spencers
Pumps = Welsh Store
The Pupillage Fair was enlightening and I made some new friends. As Barristers are self-employed, networking is a skill I have to learn to love from now. Went home with a ton of Chambers brochures and a world of knowledge. I really did not know there were that many Chambers out there? Its literally like the Corporate Law firm fairs, but more in my line of interest. Its so sad that due to sponsorship and financial funding, Universities put their interests over their students', and choose to force-feed us that its Commercial Law or poverty. Its a lie guys....so get out there & get enlightened.
YeYe says....BLEURGH! Pull on your socks, lace up your trainers and prepare for the race of your life, cos you only get one shot to win....no heats, just finals! Xisses
Nice outfits, I like the red plaid and the turtle neck look best. Great pics too.
