Hey!
How's Easter been for all of you? I've spent it trying to find an outfit for a wedding, as I don't own anything smart, and emptying boxes from last week's house move. Exciting, huh? I'd love to say I've been working my way through a mountain of chocolate eggs, but I didn't even get one!
As far as this wedding outfit goes, I've been working backwards, with the shoes directing what the rest of the outfit looks like. I picked up these pretty smart Vans Era in NY, and thought that I should be able to get away with wearing them for these 2 weddings I have coming up. I'm gonna accesorise with a pair of skinny, tan chinos and a pretty nice navy suit jacket I picked up. I'm just hoping I don't end up looking like a complete prick / hipster. I imagine I will:
In other news, I've finally got my new tattoo - or at least the first half. I'm kind of gutted it won't be finished for this first wedding next week, but hey, it's not biggie. The tattoo is based on the character of The Great Octopulus: a weight lifting, strongman octopus, who hates his job and wants to leave the circus to find love. It's from a song I wrote and used to play a lot when I was still performing music, that's basically about following your dreams and taking risks. With everything that's happened so far with my work situation this year, and starting my freelance design business properly, it seemed like the right time to get it done. Looking forward to getting it finished next week:
Finally, I've been going pretty nuts over this song recently, by Apologies, I Have None. They're a pretty awesome melodic Punk Rock band from London, and I can't stop listening to their new album. It's easy to relate to, as it's all written about the area I live in. Anyway, if you're into that sort of thing, check it out:
That's about it for now. If you feel like following me on Twitter or Instagram, just search for @scrtlyswdsh.
