National Museum of Scotland

October 16, 2011

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.

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.

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.

you must be joking with me right now, a celine sweater less for a tenner? shittt, that is a hell of bargain!

I know, right! Shit is exactly what I almost said when I found it!

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.

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.

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.

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?
