OOTD #16

 

Hello Readers,

Today I have an OOTD post for you all. I went out shopping today just to pick up a few essential skincare bits and bobs that I was running low on. I also intended to do a bit of clothes shopping however that was cut short by some torrential rain. Hence why my outfit photos are indoors! I hate having to do them indoors as the lighting is awful and the background isn't very visually appealing however it'll have to do for today I'm afraid



 

Despite the gloomy weather I decided to head out without tights as I was adamant that this outfit looks better without them. Impractical yes but I'm a stubborn person when it comes to admitting that it's finally time to add some more layers on.

Outfit;
Cropped Striped Mesh Top - Topshop
Denim Pinafore with Pleather Straps - Primark
Cut out Boots - Ebay
Black Pleather Back Pack - Primark
Scrunchie - Primark

That's all for this post, I hope you're all well.

OOTD #14

Hello Everyone.

Today I have my first OOTD post for you since my move to Nottingham. I've had quite a productive day today, wandering around the city centre handing out CV's, doing a bit of food shopping and just generally exploring as there's so much of Nottingham that I'm yet to see!
Whilst out today I was stopped by 2 different Fashion Communication Students who asked to photograph me as part of their project on Street Style, I've never in my life had anything like this happen to me so I felt extremely flattered. Nothing like that would ever happen in my little town back in Northampton haha. The little tartan top I wore today seemed to draw in a lot of attention from people and it was only £6 from Primark. Amazing value! I'm really happy with the way I styled it today and I can't wait to plan more outfits around it and my new cut out boots. As you can see from these pictures, I've finally managed to get my hands on a pair of cut out boots that I was talking about in my last wishlist post. (Thank you to my boyfriend) I've already wore them out twice since getting them on Saturday and I can already tell that these will be featured many more times to come on this blog.


Outfit:
Tartan Peter Pan Collar Crop Top - Primark
Disco Pants - American Apparel
Cut Out Boots - Ebay
Bowler Hat - Amazon

That's all for todays post. 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.

Paige.
