Queen of Tartan and Brit School Student

I started at the Brit school on Thursday and so far it has been super amazing. I've met loads of new people and hopefully I'll meet more (and I love putting on my own clothes every day!). I didn't take a picture of what I wore the first day; I was in such a rush in the morning but here's a picture of what I wore today.
I got this shirt from my mum but I wore it as a dress as its quite long and then I paired it with my lilac jellies. Oh and I got my student ID badge today- that means student discounts!
Today we had to create hats made out of paper to represent what is going on in our minds. Everyone said that my hat was really cool so I thought I'd show you guys a picture.

Over the bank holiday weekend I went to Nottingham to visit my family there and for my cousin's christening. And omg Nottingham is so cheap. There's loads of charity shop and there's an outlet store which sell clothes cheaper than a charity shop would- I need to find one in London.
I got these from the outlet store and I'm in love with these wedges but I have to share them with my mum. I bought the shoes for £5 and the top for £2 (yes you read right).
I'm kinda in love with tartan so when I kind these in a charity shop I had to buy them. The cardigan was £2 I thinkable and the skirt was £4 ( it comes just below the knee and even though my mum hates it I loveee it). I think I'm gonna try to wear them together, it might be a bit too much tartan but I just have to try it.

I usually try to post something every day but now that I'm starting school that just won't be possible 😭 So I've made a schedule and will try my best to keep to it. From now on I'll be posting every Friday, Thursday and Tuesday.
Lots of love, Tiana

Thrift Shop Find

Every Saturday I volunteer for a few hours and I'm always finding the cutest clothes at bargain prices. Yesterday I bought a pair of men's tartan trousers and I think I'm in love with the pattern. Recently I've been going through this phase where I love everything tartan.
Because they're men's trousers, theyre quite large on me- especially around the waist. However, they must have been made for a short man because they only just reach my ankles. Because of this and the fact that the hem has a rip in it I'm going to make them into a cute pair of Capri pants.
I've been looking at the construction of the trousers for quite a while now and I have to admit, I'm a little confused...
I've never worked with trousers before let alone men's trousers which are constructed differently to men. If anyone has thoughts on how I make them smaller without completely destroying this beautiful garment please comment.
