Top - Topshop

Real Leather Skirt - American Apparel

Shoes - Asos (sold out & rare)

Hat - Primark

Wahey I'm a year older on the 28th of Feb, 23! Well I am actually born on a leap year so technically I am only 5 years old still, which is great excuse when I am acting immaturely hehe, but don't think I am immature! I am as real as the earth beneath us when it comes to the serious stuff in life.
Most people question my choice of date for my birthday when its not a leap year "Shouldn't it fall to the 1st of March?" Well! I am born in February and so I shall stay in Februrary. So MEH to you lovey.

I bought this gorgeous sequin top around christmas time at a very pricey price! £55! AHHHH
but I just couldn't say no! It so minimal in its colour and I see a lot of colourful sequin things these days that don't really catch my desire apart from the sequin. The top is part of a two piece and is the same as a sequin dress I posted in January.

The skirt is real leather from American Apparel. I bought this over a year ago for a whopping £150! I think the most I have ever spent on an item before but so worth it as I find it hard to get a good faux leather body con fit. Sadly I bought this when I was a size 12, so the sexual fit just isn't the same as I have unfortunately dropped to an 8. So so gutted, especially with the price!

What I Wore for my Graduation

 

 

Dress - Asos

Blazer - Primark

Shoes - Newlook {w/ Topshop frilly socks for comfort}

Earrings - Topshop Freedom Advent Calendar

WOOOHOOOO I FINALLY GRADUATED GUYS! Well, I finished in June 2014 but The University of Derby don't have their graduation until January... Lord knows why! But it was nice to see everyone again :)

This, as you can tell by my title, is what I wore for my graduation :) The hat be the way is there to cover my roots (I didn't actually wear it) but it does mimic the graduation hat so, tada.. haha

I absolutely adore this gorgeous dress! its such a nice fit, really elegant and chic topped off with a beautiful dimante collar whilst almost comes up as a choker kind of collar with the hook and eye fastening. The dress was £45/40 and its definitely something I would wear again and again! Maybe a night out? future meals with the mr? etc.. The dress is really comfy too and its presented in layers, as in the top and bottom half are separate but they are actually joined together with some sheer material which you can slightly see in the middle of the dress.

This Primark blazer snapped up perfectly with the dress in regards to the collar line. I struggle with blazers because usually there is padding in the shoulder which makes me look rather broad and the collar line doesn't usually sit so nicely. To finalise the elegant/formal look I used some pearl earrings I got in my Topshop Freedom Advent Calendar, which I still need to do a review on actually, haha fingers crossed I get round to it so I can take all the jewellery out!

Honestly cannot wait for another occasion to wear this outfit! Its just so nice!!

Casual Lace

 

Shirt - Love Clothing

Ripped Jeans - Topshop

Shoes - Converse

Isn't this shirt just the absolute bomb!? Its so beautiful made and cut! This shirt provides the perfect simplicity with the splash of statement (over the rest of the outfit) detail. Really love the finely cut, medium sized collar too adding to the simplicity of it all in a different way, in comparison to any old white shirt. I bought this beauty for (I think) £22! temporarily reduced from £26 :) AND NOW ITS ONLY £13!!! fabulous price! The material feels really nice too, it feel like a thick cotton in comparison to the kind of linen/cotton feel of other shirts, does that make sense?

Keeping within the casual simplicity I paired the shirt with some ripped black joni jeans but personally I think I would prefer non ripped jeans, just so that the focus on statement detail is entirely on the lace of the shirt. Keeping the footwear casual with some Converse too which bounce the white around too :)

Checks and Culottes

Topshop - Check Shirt

Culottes - Dorothy Perkins

Hat - Primark

Boots - Public Desire

Hello all I hope you're well on this black friday! I am totally fried as I work in retail, its not a fun game and only 4 hours has fired my brain. Its rather hard to think!

I'm sure you are sick of seeing this shirt on my blog now haha I hope not! This is the last one I will be posting and also the last outfit post with me in it until after xmas. I just feel like I need a break and as I haven't accumulated clothes over the past 2 paydays my wardrobe is not at all inspiring me.
I will still be posting outfits but they won't be styled on me, instead simply on the ground and mostly posting on my Instagram too.

I post my ways to wear this check shirt video on my channel, here is the link if you would like to give it a watch. There is more then 8 ways to style it in the 5 minute video but mainly 8 different outfits, somethings are simply add on suggestions

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJLaZXOLX_M

This is one of my favourites of the styles. I love them all but I think this is so chic! Black culottes may look even better but I quite like how light and bright (so to speak) the outfit is :)

Ribbed and Quilted

Top - Topshop

Skirt - Topshop

Hat - Primark

Faux fur scarf - Bank Fashion

I never in a million years would have thought I would start craving khaki and burgundy colours, autumnal colours basically. I have always craved pastels but had trouble getting my hands on them and I think due to the recent pastel trends hitting the high street store and my shopping cravings towards them, I have finally got pastels out of my system or at least satisfied the craving enough to let other colours into my tastes.

As you may know, or not, I started a job at Topman and it is required of me to wear Topshop clothing to represent the brand and so on. So on payday I went hunting in store, spent 3 hours!!! in there also chasing after my son who is a menace when it comes to clothes shopping as he just loves to wind me up. Any-who! In the end I picked out this number! absolutely adore ribbed textures as you may know by my previous blogs! and at only £10 for a Topshop basic its fabulous. I tried the Missguided turtle neck version of this but it was too short of a crop and was fairly see through. This on the other han is the perfect crop length and is not see through!

The skirt is so nice! not like the tacking quilted skirts you may see. However I feel sizing is odd... I tired the 10, perfect for my butt but my hips were letting the skirt ride up very swiftly! So I tried the 8 and was perfect for the waist but my butt was flat then the floor haha. Damn dat ass. So a size 10 was the end of it and I'm planning on getting a slip skirt and being hopeful It won't move up so quickly!

Topping it all of is this Bank Fashion faux fur scarf. Love fur and fluffy things if you haven't noticed? haha

What amazed me about this scarf is that it has a slot where you can push the other side of the scarf through and pull until the scarf is securely snuggling your neck! such a fantastic and practical scarf! My plan was to loop it through as I usually would with a scarf but it would have been to short. So pleased as I also try and stay with my own practicality of clothes otherwise they just don't get used.

The Waist Accessory

 

Top - Miss Selfridge

Jeans - Topshop (washed out to navy)

Shirt - Topshop

Shoes - Tosphop

Choker - Topshop Sale

Necklace - Depop - BeckyWecky22

Well, I did say my 'ways to wear video' was going to be up YESTERDAY but my god there is so much editing and pieces to put together! Around 8-10 looks in all :O I certainly won't be posting 8-10 looks on this blog however, as, well, I am sure you will all be sick of seeing check haha.

Todays look is all about using your shirt as a waist accessory. You could even wear it as a skirt but I completely forgot about that kind of styling for a shirt. I really love how the shirt has spiced my black and navy outfit up and the necklaces reflect from the white on the shirt, slightly balancing the black and white, so that the black isn't so heavy. Topping the outfit off with some monochrome croc slip ons for the complete causal vibes. I am really digging this simplistic look and I'm sure as I know try and grow my shirts collection (currently at 1 haha) I will have loads more fun with them.

P.s. ALWAYS BUY SHIRT IN TALL. Covers your bum :) hehe

Double Tartan

 

Top - Ark Clothings

Skirt - Asos

Shoes - Primark

I have to say now that all of these items are old but they sure put together an awesome double tartan. Move over double denim! A/W is here and tartan is for the win! How about triple tartan? could you imagine! Just need tartan shoes haha. New A/W trend in the mitts? 

The skirt has to be my favourite piece of this outfit, well in competition with the boots. I just love the tartan colours on it as they are quite subtle and will work with a few things where as bright red (above skirt) doesn't go with lots of things! Such as pink trousers, but the asos skirt will work with a pink fluffy knit! I am really gutted thought as since loosing weight this is mahooosive on me! Definitely can't let it go though! Tartan and pleats, I mean thats it just everything in my world haha. A tailor is in order!

Love these shoes too! & at £18 with a fur top makes Tilly very happy! I am indeed a lover of boots especially in this british weather! rain rain go away come back another day!

Purple Tartan!

 

 

Top - Missguided - Alternative

Jacket - Missguided

Skirt - Topshop (AW13 - check ebay)

Choker - DEPOP - Ruth Brankin

I am beyond desperate for clothes its getting out of hand haha. I have literally had to beg my partner for some new shoes, for guess what! my new job!!! So excited about it! Will let you guys know on Instagram what it is soon enough :)

Anyway, putting together this little number is all well and cosy! Why can't this heat go away? I am ready for the cold! the cosy knits and skirt knits are incredible! I bought this one last year, its so perfect for my taste, I mean, pastel tartan (and not the tacky kind) what more can you want! I took a 3hour trip to get this skirt as it had sold out in every store nearby. Commitment or what!

I would usually wear the skirt with my lilac topshop crop fluffy knit but the heat was too much for that. So I teamed it with this spaghetti strap top to keep myself cool & this cream boyfriend cardigan which is fabulous! to help keep me more as the day fluctuates between temperature.

Pink Tartan

Crop top - Missguided

Tartan Pinafore - Lavish Alice (old)

- Similar here

Who would have thought this would work?! Such a girly twist to the grunge of tartan its perfect for my taste! I really want to hit hard with tartan this winter because I just feel its so comforting and simply reminds me of cold nights with comforted by warm colours. 

This crop top just goes with everything! I absolutely adore the top with some Topshop mom jeans but it is quite short! about half a finger from the bust. I am really craving ribbed things at the moment! I would love a sleeveless turtle neck like this top. Dreamy!
