Despite my best efforts, it’s been a ridiculously long time since I
last blogged, due to my final year at uni and other general life stresses. So
much has happened since then, not least this:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk0ebLkso0z2TMZz6okGXVN5mjYys00x6pgKxvzljxv6qD5-vBKCeh2oIWtPO5_fZdfvKnQGcdzRmdXDALW7wjLPOi94iiiDvlC3Vj9zMQOSKrW50xqyZNIZc-enufxXoR1RaHMbox6Vo/s400/IMG_7020.JPG" width="266" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
That’s right - I graduated! I am now the proud owner of a BA
in English. It was undoubtedly the toughest three years of my life, but (somehow) simultaneously the best.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another important thing that’s happened is that I’ve really
become passionate about feminism. I’ve always believed that women and men were
equal, but I used to shun the title ‘feminist’, but now I see why it’s needed
more than ever. Feminism is infectious, and I mean that in the most positive
way. Learning about feminist theory has made me realise that I’m not alone in
not accepting the world as it is, which is one of the reasons why I started
this blog (I know I’ve promised this before, but the explanation is coming
really soon). I now feel brave enough to blog about it, and I’m hoping that I
can help annihilate the sexism which makes life unfair for both men AND women.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
To completely change the tone in favour of banality, please
forgive the creased dungarees – I think I’m allergic to being tidy!<o:p></o:p></div>

Embroidery? Fine. Embellishments? I can do that. But something that has the same print all over it? I can't help but shudder. In all likelihood it's because I've been a poor student for over two years now, and a memorable printed item is just that - <i>memorable - </i>which means I feel I can't rotate it as much.<br />
<br />
Chancing upon the latest <a href="http://www.lazyoaf.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lazy Oaf</a> <a href="http://www.lazyoaf.co.uk/lookbook.php" target="_blank">Capsule Collection</a> seems to have changed my mind completely. (I'm a bit late on this, I know!)<br />

Some of these items may seem a little bit pricey, but I actually purchased <a href="http://www.lazyoaf.co.uk/knitwear/c72_90/p2463/bobble-hat/product_info.html" target="_blank">this</a> hat from the ASOS sale the other day (pictures to come soon), and it's really good quality and <i>very</i> warm - essential for a freezing student house! In fact, I've just realised that I'm still wearing it now, hours after getting home... Not that I need much persuading in ordering some of these things soon, but what are other people's experiences of Lazy Oaf?<br />

So my efforts to blog more regularly aren't going too well as my life is CRAZY busy right now. It's just so hard to find the time between housework, my summer job, seeing people, and revising for my summer - SUMMER! - exam. Maybe that's why I look so unintentionally moody.<br />

My mum's got photos of me from the 90s where I'm wearing pretty much identical outfits to this - awkward. Couldn't resist adding a close-up of the faded floral print on my jeggings. Was it me or did leggings seem to be the only thing anyone ever wore in the 90s?! It really was the best decade to grow up in though; we had Pokemon, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4afw0uzXpE" target="_blank">Zzzap!</a>, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Power Rangers, Britney Spears... I'm trying to bring it back, one scrunchie at a time. What were your favourite things about the 90s? Let me know in the comment box, it's great to reminisce.</div>

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who's commented on my posts. You've all been so sweet and flattering, and it actually makes my day to see such wonderful feedback! I've also loved looking at all of your blogs and just generally nosing around!</div>

I know, it's been a ridiculously long time since I last posted - nearly a year, in fact - but I swear I have a very good excuse. Or more accurately, a series of excuses: a lengthy illness, a tonsillectomy, falling behind in university work, missing exams... Oh, and my laptop died a slow death.<br />
But now I'm back, and I swear that I will renounce my bad blogger ways (including replying to very old comments, sorry about that). I have so many ideas for features and outfits, and I just can't wait to share them!<br />

As you may well have guessed, I'm back at university! So happy to return to my ridiculously big room (pure fluke, it used to be a double). I'm frantically typing this in between studying for a big presentation due tomorrow. The messy floor is courtesy of my junk food addicted boyfriend and the lack of time to unpack properly! Apologies for the shit quality of my webcam, must find my SLR cable and start using that instead.</div>

This is pretty much my uniform to wear to lectures and the like. It's so easy to throw on when you have a hangover that feels like someone has trampled on your head. Ahhh, the student life.</div>

Thought I'd add a quick make-up review which I hope will be the first of many. I've recently switched from Rimmel Exaggerate liquid eye liner to Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner, which comes in a tiny glass pot with a comparably dinky eye liner brush (I hope you can make this out in the photo). I immediately became a convert: the formula glides on so easily, there is less of a chance of it leaking painfully into your eyeball, and it is virtually smudge-free! However, I would suggest waiting a few minutes for it to dry, as if you do get a smudge, it is <i>murder</i> to rub off. (N.B. the lipstick is a Mac Matte one in Ruby Woo).</div>

(A shy wave.)</div>
<br />
Why, hello there! I'm Natassja, I'm 19, and I split my time between London and Leicester, where I'm currently in my first year of an English BA at University of Leicester. I like clothes a lot a lot. Wearing them, buying them, lusting after them, the whole shebang. One day I'd love to work in fashion journalism or styling, so hopefully this blog will give me the chance to practice my writing.<br />
<br />
The title 'A Girl In Boy's Clothes' is extremely appropriate as it's widely acknowledged that I cross-dress pretty much all of the time. Maybe it's because I'm a bit of a tomboy, but I literally just prefer men's clothes. Even when I do wear girly clothes (these occasions are so rare that I will draw special attention to them), I just have to go and butch it up with a pair of brogues or something. The overall effect is that of a young male child (you'll soon see what I mean).<br />
<br />
Even typing this next sentence is making me roll my eyes at how disgusting clichéd this is going to sound, but my passion is vintage clothes (vom) and about 90% of my wardrobe is either vintage or secondhand. Being a student means that I have very little to spend on clothes (second cliché), so buying secondhand from eBay, Etsy, charity shops, etc, makes my money go much further. I also think that being on a tight budget forces you to be more imaginative with dressing, but that's a whole other blog post waiting to be written.<br />
<br />
Apart from the aforementioned penchant for gender-bending, my style is not very defined, although I am on a bit of a 50s kick at the minute. Rolled-up jeans, white ankle socks, the works (my friends tell me I look like Michael Jackson). For summer, I plan to really commit to this look - watch this space.<br />
<br />
My other interests are pretty standard: seeing my amazing friends, watching films, going out, photography, reading, cooking, and of course, the mark of a true student, drinking. However it has to be said that my other true passion is music, listening not playing. In fact, I do a radio show with a friend on my university radio station. I'll link it on here unless I get too shy.<br />
<br />
And last but not least, I have to apologise in advance for my extremely dry, sarcastic sense of humour, which may well manifest itself in my blog posts. And also for my language, which is, quite frankly, foul. But I'll try my best to keep it clean.<br />
<br />
Phew, I'm glad that's over. Thanks for reading all that balderdash, roll on some proper posts!<br />
<br />
