Just a few shots from our trip to the National Museum of Scotland this morning. I took a lot more but I like the way the colours in these particular photos go together. Going to the museum is a good excuse for zoology students to get out of doing work for a while, especially now that the huge natural history section has been re-opened. It’s practically revision.
Everything I’m wearing is thrifted. The skirt was longer but I hemmed it because it originally sat at a really awkward length. And would you believe that the jumper is Celine? I think I paid about £5.00 for it, not bad! It does, unfortunately, have two rather large holes in the back but they’re quite far down so I can usually hide them.

This is fab. Love what you’re wearing as usual. It’s very feminine and chic but still has some tomboy elements in there. The museum looks wonderful to visit.
BRIANNE October 16, 2011 at 5:01 pm
Love your outfit!!!!
Isabel, Wake up & smell the azahar October 16, 2011 at 5:06 pm

rebecca October 16, 2011 at 5:24 pm

Lovely pictures!

Juliane October 16, 2011 at 5:29 pm
Ooh I’m jealous! I would love to go and see Edinburgh. And yes, you’re right, the colours in those pictures go together beautifully.
Viv October 16, 2011 at 6:15 pm
Lovely post with wonderful photos and colours! And what a find with the Celine jumper!
Naomi Bulger October 16, 2011 at 6:52 pm
I have looked over this collection of photographs three times now. It is just lovely. I love the muted, brown tones, and the sense of mystery and “more” you have conveyed.
agnes October 16, 2011 at 7:27 pm
really lovely
Ellie October 16, 2011 at 7:52 pm
That photo of the spider is just stunning Hannah! I adore all of them, but that one is brilliant. x
Debz October 16, 2011 at 8:34 pm
How lovely i need to go to the museum soon! I now work in edinburgh so would be really good!Your outfit is lovely your really good at finding little gems and making them work. <3
Hannah October 16, 2011 at 9:24 pm
Yes go, it’s wonderful! Not to mention free.
Dulcie October 16, 2011 at 8:35 pm
I love your outfit so much and I am so jealous of your amazing ferragmos! I am desperately saving up for a pair for myself, just need to flog a few bits and pieces on ebay first… xxx
Hannah October 16, 2011 at 9:22 pm
Thank you! Mine are ever so slightly too big for me so I have to concentrate really hard when I’m walking in them ha ha! I don’t want to sell them though because they only cost me £2 and I refuse to spend £££ on eBay when I already have a pair! I am in serious need of some eBay flogging myself right now.
LH October 16, 2011 at 8:36 pm
you must be joking with me right now, a celine sweater less for a tenner? shittt, that is a hell of bargain!
Hannah October 16, 2011 at 9:23 pm
I know, right! Shit is exactly what I almost said when I found it!
kater October 16, 2011 at 9:53 pm
Every post of yours is a kind of perfection I want want want! Ahh! I love it all so much!
Hannah October 17, 2011 at 10:34 am
Yay, thanks Kater :D
Caitlin Rose October 16, 2011 at 10:24 pm
I’m glad you kept just the short list of photos, they look stunning together. for some reason they remind me of a woody allen film? not sure which one.
amy October 16, 2011 at 10:48 pm
it was one of my favourite places when i lived in edinburgh, would be lovely to see how it has changed.
Jess Loves Fred October 17, 2011 at 12:10 am
This is the most divine outfit. Cannot be any more perfect.
Erica October 17, 2011 at 1:48 am
I work in a natural history museum and its amazing some of the things we have in storage, like mammoth tusks and monkeys bottled in alcohol. Its always fun to go exploring the back room when I’m not working.
I love the color palette of these images too! very muted and retro. :)
Hannah October 17, 2011 at 10:35 am
Ahh that sounds like so much fun! I’d love to have a rummage around.
Louise, Raspberries In Winter October 17, 2011 at 2:32 am
You look gorgeous! This museum looks amazing, I love going to museums but I don’t go nearly as often as I would like to.
Amara Villasenor October 17, 2011 at 3:23 am

I love your outfit. It’s so classic, flattering, and beautiful. And what a great find your Céline pull was!
kitty October 17, 2011 at 8:50 pm
oh, i was there just last month! it was my first time and i was amazed at how beautiful it was inside. i think if i lived in edinburgh i’d want to go every week just to sit in the grand gallery and think. i really love that outfit!
Carolinas Couture October 18, 2011 at 5:33 am
Great selection of photos, love your skirt and it’s perfect with that sweater and blouse under it.
Clare October 18, 2011 at 7:00 am
I love your bag!! I have been trying desperately to get a lovely brown satchel but had no luck so far! Great pics as ever!
Amy October 18, 2011 at 5:11 pm
I love your outfit! Very gorgeous and classy. All of the photos are very lovely!
Maud October 18, 2011 at 10:10 pm
ah hannah, this breaks my heart! i was SO frustrated that the national museum reopened literally one month after i moved away. i’ll live the experience vicariously through your pictures, though – i must say, it does look great!
Charlie - Charlestown October 18, 2011 at 11:00 pm
I love Natural History museums, I was lucky enough to go to a week event at the museum in London where they showed us behind the scenes. It was amazing, one of the best things i’ve ever seen, some pretty weird things too, like a baby monkey in a jar. But still amazing.
Your outfit is lovely, I love how you can pull off every look, I always come back feeling inspired after reading your blog!
Charlestown, xoxo.

Lovely blog! and great photos!
amber October 20, 2011 at 12:15 am
that spider web is killer!
i really think it is possible to find beautiful clothes at thrift shops. i’ve come to find it’s better to thrift than go to say h&m.
the shoes? where are those from?
Alex York October 20, 2011 at 8:00 am
lovely outfit. museums are a very nice way to learn thing if you take your time and read som of the information boards, and usualy I remember more from my museum wisits that from my school books. ;)
Michelle October 21, 2011 at 12:13 am
This place looks pretty magical. This might have to go on my list of things to do for one day when I get to Edinburgh. Love the outfit too. Very sophisticated.
bianca snow October 21, 2011 at 10:56 am
I absolutely love that skirt, I just got a similar one in an orange coral shade which also needs hemming. That museum looks so inspiring, thanks for taking us there : )
Natalie October 21, 2011 at 9:34 pm
love the photos and they go perfectly together, and absolutely adore your outfit!

i love your outfit…and not just because all the items put together is so chic but because everything is thrifted. i love thrifting — it’s like a treasure hunt! and the most rewarding feeling is finding something amazing at a steal..<3

Camila Faria November 15, 2011 at 10:21 pm
Looks like a very especial place! So interesting! I really like your outfit and I can’t believe you payed only £5.00 for the jumper! Lovely!
