Sleep is overrated
Sleep and I have major issues, we are anything but bedfellows. I am forever up at unchic hours doing the most crazy mix of things; from fashion writing, diy’s, customising to tweeting etc. One such night (or is that morning?) at 2am in Marian’s Insomia adventures, chapter 4 billion , I put two broken Urban Outfitters necklaces together (ie the grey piece and green fringed piece). I and then twisted and knotted in the neon cords in an attempt to create a messy random finish.
Twisted cord
The necklace in addition to the beautiful weather on Sunday inspired the neutral garment palette in the photos above. I thought it would be great to off set the mad mash of necklaces and cord creation against the simplicity of white. I wore the outfit to a visit to a beautiful Countryside park with picturesque lakes. I will try to post some images of the park soon.
I finally went to bed at 4am this morning, what was I doing? Well when I could not sleep I ended up writing two articles and some styling research. I also customised another poor pair of jeans. The jeans I was wearing in my recent Bleak style diary post was another insomnia adventure.
I seem to come up with random but interesting diy/customised creations whenever I cannot sleep.
Maybe sleep and I not talking is not such a bad thing after all…

Sleep and I are not getting along right now either. Three hours a night just does not cut it.

Hi there-another chic and stylish outfit, you are so very creative when you can’t sleep!! Have a great week!!
Hey marian! this outfit is so fun and summery and I want that necklace! maybe u could do a contest sometime to win one? lol i rarely go to sleep before 3 am these days but then again, i usually sleep until around 11 am the next day so i’m consoled with the thought that i’m still getting my 7/8 hrs.
love love love that casual but yet elegant outfit and those bright colours are so nice, plus I honestly felt in love with your necklace, where can I get one, I’m asking seriously?!:)
Hi all, thank you for your comments.
Karolinka – Darling I customised the necklace . I did not buy the necklace as you see it now. I made it by joining two old broken necklaces by Urban Outfitters(one was a grey layered necklace and the other was a green fringed necklace) and then I twisted in the neon bright coloured cords.
big kiss xx
