Pay Day Wish List

Crochet & Blush

Thursday, 16 July 2015



Bralet - Primark
Shorts - Vero Moda
Necklace - New Look
Flower crown - Primark
Bag - H&M
Shoes - Primark

This outfit was a no brainer for my favourite summer OOTD. My favourite nude shorts and a totally cute crochet bralet paired with a aztec necklace, fringing and flowers too!

I have had these shorts for 2 months now and yes they have creased of course, they sit outside the pockets of my wardrobe because I know how easy it is to get things creased in there. They are awaiting a wash right now and hopefully the ironing won't be hard, hopefully!!!

When I wore this bralet to work I got so many compliments. I don't think its a particularly flattering bralet on me seeing as you can see my bra and it dips heavily at the back too but I don't care. I don't like it without my bra. Overall I just love it too much to care whats cracking off with it. Oh yes, the back tie snapped off the other day ( I do tie it really tight to be fair) so it wasn't a surprise and luckily as its only crochet I just tied it back together haha. its all gooooood. How can I complain over £5?

I love the festival vibes springing from this outfit from the hair garland, tassels and crochet. The fact that I have managed to manipulate the colour palette into nudes/neutrals for summer makes me twice as happy as I find most festival relatable products to either be too bright or too dark such as just black black black. Its summer!! its meant to be colourful and my colours its definitely blush/nude :D

Boho Cold Shoulder

Thursday, 18 June 2015



Dress - Primark
Floral Garland - Primark
Bag - Primark
Shoes - Topshop (You could find similar in Primark but I like these better)

Its a fabulous Primark outfit for a total of £23 (ish, I can't remember how much the Garland was...) When I spotted this Primark dress it looked like a beautiful summer bargain! With some bohemian vibes in there somewhere. For £13 I couldn't say no. Before trying it on I expected the lacey middle to visible and the statement piece to the dress but it wasn't, it crupples up and lets the top over lay. So after I let go of the fact the lace wouldn't do as I thought, I loved how the top layered over. I bought a size 6 because I preferred the fitting figure to it, however the 8 was practically better because it covered my bum properly :'L This size 6 only just covers it with its floaty behaviour. Shorts underneath secure any exposure and to be honest you can't actually see my shorts so its relatively long enough. ANYYYYwayyy... My second favourite bit of the dress is the cold shoulder! Off shoulder and cold shoulder is 'on trend' so to speak at the moment and I adore off the shoulder but I don't like it on myself because I have broad shoulder, however the cold shoulder design is perfect as it distracts from the shoulders and onto the edge.

 This bag is yet another brilliant bargain! When the tan and black came out I was constantly telling myself, don't get it, you don't need it, take control woman! And I did, really well. However a week later, as it got warmer, I realised I was carrying a lot of little bits to school with me when I pick my son up and I couldn't hold them all in my hand with possibility of loosing or dropping them. So I went to get the black on (as it goes better with my wardrobe) but they only had the tan left, I was trying to resist the tan because I feel like I have been sucked into the tan trend and I know I won't like it next year. It fits a small drink in there, your phone and bank cards. So not bad, especially for £7.

Lastly, feel like this is a long post! The shoes :) I was planning on buying some tan lace ups that go up to my knees but no one has made any chunky sole ones, waaaaaa :'( I liked the Topshop ones the most but after feeling the sole, it was really hard!! So I felt the sole of this shoe and its really soft and squidgy. I gave them a chance and I love them!!!! Pricey £55 I wouldn't say they are all the worth, the suede stains easy with water. They were rained on, the drizzle kind, so barely anything and they have the marks of the droplets on them! What is that about? I don't know if that I just suede in general...?

Blush Beauty

Playsuit - Topshop
Bag - H&M
Shoes - Topshop
Necklace - Shop Dixi

I fell in love with this playsuit on sight. The next test was the fitting and it was fabulous! The final test, price and I mean OUCH! It was £50! Beyond my budget so I waited until payday so I could get it on uniform at Topshop however they had all sold out by then WAAAHHHHHHH. Luckily, someone was selling it on DEPOP for £30, a better price definitely! I quickly snapped it up and was very pleased with the quality when it came. You can dress this piece up or down and its my favourite confidence piece for a night out, especially with my favourite ASOS shoes! The size 6 was a better fit on the bust however the elastic band was too tight on my waist so I went for an 8 instead and it does sometimes reveal the ladies but if I tie the d-ring hard and properly (took my ages to figure it out hahaha) then the ladies don't pop out as much. This item is sold out but they have released a very similar one, just without the d-ring tie.

I have had the necklace for, hmm, maybe a year. Its the most expensive piece of jewellery I have ever bought at £38 but it was sooooooo worth. There were hundreds of similar necklaces but I just loved this design. WORTH IT!

Pink Crochet

Dress - Topshop
Bag - H&M
Shoes - Primark


When I saw this dress, I just fell for it. I adore blush at the moment and the crochet and embroidery detail on is perfection! There is a massive con however! Its extremelyyyyy see through. Even with white pants I can't get away with it. There is a slip dress underneath, you should be able to see a round neck line within the dress but even that isn't sufficient enough to make up the cover. As you can see in some pictures, my dark pants. I forgot to change them haha my bad! Anyway! I have found that I can just get away with wearing some light grey jersey shorts I bought form primark a while back. They don't seem as noticeable as black or white. Nude would probably be best but I have never seen some nude jersey shorts. 

Tassels/fringing is one of my favourite trends this season and I knew I had to get my hands on a tassel bag somewhere! At first I thought I would go with the typical black so that it will suit everything, however I do not like black for summer, it just doesn't seem right! Summer is meant to be colourful and bright, not monochrome. in my opinion that is. I was looking around H&M and I found this little sweetheart, perfect for my because its a nude/blush colour! highly suitable for my current desires :D
I toyed with the idea of having a cream version but it was bigger and didn't look as nice when I went up to the mirror. I think it was £20 and fits a fair bit in, just need to downsize my drinking bottle.

I can't wait until I go until floral garland mode because this dress will look sublime with flowers in my hairrrrrr.
