OOTD #12

Hello Readers!
 Today I will be sharing with you an outfit of the day post. Forgive me for not posting the last three days or so, I've not been feeling very well so therefore I haven't really been bothering with make-up or clothes so I didn't really know what to do a post on. I woke up today feeling really motivated to make an effort with my appearance today. Sometimes I just shove on a pair of jeans and a top and that's the extent of my outfit, however today I felt like being quite girly so this is what I ended up wearing!



I am a big fan of the monochrome trend and always find myself dressing this way. I don't know why but these are just the colours I feel most comfortable in. I really need to set myself the challenge of dressing more colourful. Maybe when I go on holiday to Zante next week I might find myself embracing colour a bit more? Speaking of my holiday, I was actually thinking of doing some outfit posts whilst I'm there. I don't know if I'd actually be able to get internet access to post them whilst I was away but as long as I take pictures for them would you be interested in seeing holiday outfit of the days / evenings when I get back? Let me know! I think I'll probably end up doing that anyway..

So as I said I felt like being girly today I decided to put on this beautiful little monochrome tapestry print skater skirt that I got from ASOS a few months back. This skirt was somewhere between the £9 - £11 mark so it was quite cheap. I'm not sure if it's still available but I have a feeling it won't be anymore. I then decided to pair it with this light black jumper from H&M which I've had for about 2 years now and I've honestly had so much wear out of this it's unreal. Definitely one of my most used staple pieces in my wardrobe. I then decided to put on these little New Look black peter pan boots (I call them this because they're quite pointed) and some white frilly socks. Then to top it all off I added my black bowler hat because it is a godsend to me. It allows me to be super lazy with my hair so I try and plan as many outfits around it as possible.

Outfit:

Black Jumper - H&M
Monochrome Tapestry Print Skater Skirt - ASOS
Black Peter Pan Boots - New Look
White Frilly Socks - Topshop
Black Bowler Hat - Amazon

That's all for my OOTD post today, I hope you enjoyed!

I hope you're all well.

How I'd Style: Pinafores



 Hello Everyone!

Today I shall be showing you how I'd style 4 different pinafores. I'll be showing you how I'd style a denim one, a black one and 2 patterned ones. Unfortunately I do not own all of these pinafores but hopefully in time I could maybe add some similar ones to my wardrobe. I created these looks using Polyvore so some of the pieces I've used are high end, however this was unintentional and you could easily find something similar on the high street.

The first look I've created has quite a grungy edge to it and it features this beautiful denim pinafore dress from Miss Selfridge. This denim pinafore dress has PU leather straps, so to compliment this I decided to pair it with a mesh crop top from Topshop. I then added a pair of black flat form shoes and a black leather back pack which heightens the grungy vibe and makes for a cool and edgy outfit. A pair of round black sunglasses and a vampy lip would definitely help to set this outfit off.

 

The second outfit is so me! I already have a pinafore and shirt exactly like this so I already know I'd wear this combination for sure. This outfit keeps up with the recent monochrome trend, however the gold accessories and red lipstick help to break it up and make it that little bit less predictable. The black pinafore itself is quite dressy but the bowler hat, flatforms and backpack help to tone it down a bit and give it more of a daytime look.

 

 

 

Look 3 features a floral print which is very popular for Spring / Summer 2013 and that is the daisy print. This outfit is really girly, really cute and is super wearable. This pinafore is currently in the New Look Sale for £9 so if you want it, you better get it fast!

Look 4 features another beautiful printed pinafore which I believe is also from New Look. This outfit has a cute, vintage-esque vibe to it and is just too adorable for words. I think this outfit would be perfect for a picnic, a bike ride, a walk round the woods or just any outdoor activity! It's fun, girly and quite practical at the same time.

So that's it for my post today. Hopefully this has either inspired you with how you could wear a pinafore, or maybe even encouraged you to purchase one if you haven't already! I personally love all these outfits I've created and would happily wear them all if I could only afford to buy all the items!

Let me know what you think of this post in the comments, I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Hope you're all well.

OOTD #9

 

Hello Readers!

Today's post is an outfit of the day. I've been busy photographing a prom today and now I'm eating a Chinese, watching a movie and trying to edit the photos as well as typing this out (multi-tasking at it's finest) so I've not really had time to do anything other than a simple post so I hope you don't mind. The heat wave continues in England! So amazingly I'm still digging out the summer clothing. As you may be able to see from these photos, I've caught the sun on my knee caps which is why they're bright red and incredibly painful.

I got the shirt and skirt from Topshop about two years ago so I don't think they'll be available anymore although they could have something similar out right now. I'm wearing Coral Bliss by MAC in these shots as it's my favourite lipstick right now, I love how this lipstick picks out the coral tones in the skirt and helps compliment them.
