Spy girl

Coat - c/o Pretty Little Thing // Polo neck dress - Miss Selfridge

I really loved this coat when I first spied it on the PLT website but was nervous it'd look too formal once it was on. Turns out it does look pretty formal but I don't mind because it makes me feel a bit like a spy when I'm wearing it. What. A. Saddo. You wouldn't really be able to tell from my face that I like it though would you? I've apparently lost all ability to smile in photos... However, I'm going to blame the lack of grinning on the fact that I had a presentation to do today in uni today. Speaking in public is not my forte, far from it actually - I spent the whole morning worrying that I was either going to sick up on myself or pass out. Thankfully I did neither but I did spend the whole time I was talking with a face like this. Awful, truly awful. To congratulate myself on remaining concious throughout the whole process I bought myself a can of Irn Bru which turned out to a special commonwealth one... now that's a can and a half, huh?

Ahh I feel your pain with presentations, I had one last year which should have lasted 15 minutes.....15 minutes! I was over in like 2 :/

This outfit is lovely, and heck, it would be pretty awesome to be a spy for the day! xx

I'm glad I don't have to do any of that. Loving the silhouette.

Ugh, my dissertation presentation was the worst- I went scarlet and apparently spoke at 1000 miles an hour. Not cool.
I love clothes that make me feel like a spy!! Being a spy would be seriously cool. x

Cripes, I'm a bit in love with this coat! Classic but totally stylin' a la Gwen Stefani! Huge snaps for completing your presentations, I would've needed alcohol to get me through.

Loving this lippie colour too!
