Going Out Out

Vest Top - ASOS | Skirt - Zara | Heels - ASOS | Clutch - Primark 

This outfit was something I wore a few weeks ago when I went with some friends. I struggle to dress for going out as I find my style very manly/oversized/not glitzy enough for the clubbing scene in my home town. Rather then wear something I'm not comfortable in, I settled on this vest and skirt combo, with the addition of leather adding a level of dressiness but still being myself with the neutral colour palette.

As a 5"2 girl, I rarely wear heels as everyone already knows I'm teeny tiny but I'm trying to branch out and so invested in these shoe boots from ASOS. I know they'll look just as perfect with a bashed up pair of jeans as they do with a skirt and I can't wear to make them a main part of wardrobe. 

I'm currently away on holiday but will reply to all comments on my return.

Love Me Hate Me

Fedora - New Look | White Shirt - H&M | Blazer - H&M | Jeans - ASOS | Clutch - Zara | Trainers - JD Sports 

I basically live in white shirts nowadays so I thought I'd start doing a series of pieces on how I like to style them up, for casual and smart.

This look is one that would work during the day, perhaps to go shopping with friends or for travelling but could be easily changed up and made more appropriate for evening attire with a pair of barely there heels and a bit of lipstick. 

I recently bought this blazer during H&M's 25% promotion (check it out online and in store if you haven't yet!) as I've never owned a really smart jacket that would work with most things and can easily make a pair of scruffy jeans look grown up!

I toned down the smartness of this look with the addition of the Nike's and then added a dash of colour with this bright clutch from Zara, as I do love a good slogan!

My own personal wind machine

(All Old) 

So today I found out that taking outfit photographs on a really windy day is not the best idea in the world. So do excuse my weave in these photographs, we tried out best to control it. 

This week I decided to bite the bullet and finally wear my white jeans outside of the house. Now I've always stayed far away from colourful/patterned jeans due to my cyclist thighs but I couldn't stay away any longer. I love a neutral colour scheme and this outfit ticks that box fully. As summer has decided it's bored of the North West, I added my favourite shaggy scarf to keep me from freezing and to add some darker tones into this relatively light ensemble and topped it all off with my life long best buddy, my fake leather jacket from H&M. 

I might be a bit off the grid over the next week as I have 2nd year resits (don't fail your exams kids) but I'm hoping to fit some outfit posts in around those exams (top student) PRAY FOR ME GUYS!

Casual Parisian

 

Fedora - ASOS | Blazer - ASOS | Tee - M&S | Jeans - New Look | Desert Boots - Topshop | Bag - Primark | Sunglasses - ASOS

Today I went to the Lowry in Salford to view the exhibition and browse the outlet stores and I spied the perfect photo op next to the river. My photographer (sister) is back in my life so expect many more outfit posts for me! This is a very normal outfit for me, just the right level of casual but with my own unique feel. I love the Parisian look of simplistic outfits and I feel this fits very well into that category by combining classic cuts like my blazer with casual everyday items like my skinny jeans.

By now you'll know that I don't really do colour in my outfits so I like combat the monochrome effect with little features like my grey fedora and my beige desert boots. I've become very attached to simplistic jewellery in gold, I have zero time for statement right now so I have built up quite a collection of delicate rings, bracelets and necklaces.

 And you might have noticed that I'm gradually lightning my hair using L'oreal Lightning Gel, which is doing an amazing job by the way! If you'd like a full review let me know, I know how troublesome lightning hair can be!
