What I Wore

OOTN 03/09

My wardrobe is slowly turning darker, and is it sad that I'm excited by all the woolly jumpers appearing?!

I love Summer, and loathe winter, but the rubbish weather does have it perks of layering up and staying snuggly! I have never been one to love being half naked in nothing but shorts and crop tops in Summer.

This is what I wore on a girls night out last night, I love this midi skirt still and it is so versatile. I just bought this gorgeous green cami from New Look.

Cami New Look £9.99

Midi Skirt H&M £7.99

Fish Bone Necklace Zara Sale £8.99

I wore my gorge chunky grungy military boots to complete my 90's grunge inspired outfit, and wore my hair a little cray! (In all honesty I couldn't be bothered to wash it and thought it looked quite cool all scruffed up with the outfit)

Boots New Look £29.99

LIP TIP

I've learnt a brilliant tip on how to get the on trend lip look

'worn, stained, blurred & bleeding'

Blend foundation or concealer into the outline of the lips and then with a small eyeshadow brush carefully blend and dab lipstick on to the lips. Blend carefully into the outlines, meeting the foundation to create a subtle blurred line. Do not use too much lippy, this will create a more bruised effect! I love it! I find this looks best and most effective with darker lipstick.

Thanks for reading!

Checks and Stripes Mish Mash

I am super excited about all these tartans and checks coming back in, and clashing colour ways makes it even more exciting! And also very excited about all the bold animal prints returning (with in mind not overdoing it...)

In Brighton a month or two back, I picked up this Red Tartan oversized shirt from a street vintage shop for a bargain £5, and cannot wait to wear it! (The problem being it is still too hot to!)

So for now I am thinking I might just settle with these lovely cute little Tartan socks (£1.99 New Look) under my new grungy cut out boots from work too! £59.99. 

This is an outfit from work the other day, I love this little check monochrome skirt - £10 in the New Look sale. I decided to make it more casual by wearing this boxy green boyfriend crop top from River Island, £10. I don't think Monochrome has seen its last days just yet!

And here's some stripes too!

Zebra Print Blouse -  £12.99 H&M

Shell Necklace  - £7 Accessorize

Stud Tote Bag - £17.99 New Look

Sunglasses - £3.99 New Look

Hey lovelies!

This is my outfit from a few nights back!

I absolutely adore this new top, the shape and style is so retro and the glitter makes it even better! Total bargain and such a find for Primark I think. I topped it off with this new Gold Chain necklace, in the New Look sale for a bargain £2.25 to compliment my shoes. I wore it with my H&M Leather look pencil skirt- which I have been getting so many compliments on! I got it way back before Christmas and have only just started wearing it again. They do have a similar one back in stock here though for £14.99.

Sorry for the fuzzy selfie! :(

Top - £8.00 Primark 

Skirt - H&M Old Season

Bag - £6.00 Primark

Necklace - £2.25 New Look

Heels - £24.99 New Look

You MAY notice- the shoes - are- new... this wasn't my fault this time as my lovely mum treated me when I was home! They look really great with tanned pins, my natural tan seems to be sadly fading now :( Back to the bottle! I love these 'barely there' sandal heels, with the low thin stiletto heel but the truth is I just can't walk in them, and I really don't know how some of you girls do! But you do it amazingly. But these are a little more 'Beckyfied' with a thicker heel and thicker ankle strap!

Who else is loving the pastel toned hair at the moment? I didn't want to do anything permanent and have seen wash out chalks in places like Topshop but couldn't afford to spend too much, but then I cam a colour. You can't see to clearly from the photos as I wanted the colour quite subtle but these are such an amazing idea! And soooo cheap!

This is just a quick snap of my nails too! I love the dark colour palettes creeping back in to Autumn, and found this gorgeous shade called 'Moonlight' in H&M for £2.99. It catches the light so nicely. Then I sprinkled loads of fun things on out of boredom! Cute.

This again, is my work outfit for the day! Although, not really New Look .. Shhh! These are my gorgeous new shoes, yeah yeah I have a shoe addiction... They were a bargain £13 in the sale and are new in! I saw them in Marie Claire last week and 'fell instantly'

I love slouchy boyfriend tees at the moment, they make such a statement hanging over peg leg skinny trousers, or with longer skirts and are super duper comfy. I have belted mine in with this woven Primark belt- £1!

H&M Basic Top - £3.99

Topshop Floral Front Buttoned Skirt - Old Season

White Gladiator Buckle Heels - New Look Sale £13

Unfortunately the heels will have to stay at home today as I have a long shift at work and my feet won't cope! Also apologies for the rushed pictures again- always in a rush for work and don't want to pester my hosuemate!
