Okay, okay, it was just the day I got my Irlen lenses. Yes, that's right, I have funny glasses; no, they're not sun glasses, they're to treat my Irlen Syndrome (you can read more about it here). Irlen Syndrome is a visual processing disorder, which means that my brain doesn't process visual information properly, so I'm light-sensitive, have a perpetual headache and am constantly anxious. I even have episodes of sensory overload. Words, when reading, also move on the page. Now, with my Irlen lenses these things will be easier to cope with, I shouldn't get as many episodes of sensory overload and even after just a day of wearing them, my headache has improved. They're awesome and I'm so happy!! Woo! I can be a normal human being!!
My frames, if you're wondering, are from Heritage.
(Also I got a new haircut - here's a pic of me just after it'd been done at the hairdresser).
So to celebrate my new look, I did an outfit of the day in my local library, because what can be better than books and clothes, eh? The lighting could be better, but it's worth it for the backdrop.
SHIRT - Charity Shop (brand Lucia) //TROUSERS - Zara // SHOES - Dr Marten (vintage)
I feel like I'm finally looking like myself! Also I was in town today and there appears to be a massive (and by massive I mean, there were like seven) influx of alternative teens around and about. It was cool to see. Back in my day (all those *cough* 5 *cough* years ago) there were practically no people my age that dressed with an edge. But now there are a fair few - it was refreshing.
I've also been doing a lot of illustration recently, because I've decided I'd like to illustrate what I write. You can see my stuff on my art instagram @lou.viv.drawz .
So it's nice to be back. I'll be writing more soon, and I hope you were all happy to hear from me.
