Khaki and Lace

Thursday, 15 January 2015








































Bralet - Topshop
Trousers - Topshop
Shoes - Primark

I have been eyeing up khaki trousers for quite a few months now and just never really bit the bullet so to speak. If you remember in my previous blogs I had some Missguided Khaki trousers but I took them back because they were too tight on me. Working at Topman has its advantages of course and I got these on uniform, originally £40. The fit is a little odd in regards to sizing as the size 8 was so tight it was uncomfortable to breathe but the 10 was fairly loose sitting. The fellow Topshop girls recommended I get the 8 but I just was not comfortable at all so I got the 10. A week later my team leader had the trousers on and I asked her about the fit. she replied "I would usually buy a 12 but I bought a 10 in these and they have stretched out to be a comfy fit." Oh crap I thought as I had forgotten that Topshop trousers stretch! I hoped I could exchange them but whats done is done if you buy uniform. I'm honestly praying they don't stretch and if they do its off to the tumble dryer!

This lace bralet is amazing in its detail! And really modest too as unlike most bralet that show off your breasts, this one covers it up gracefully. I think this was between £28-32 and well worth it. I would usually buy an 8 to support my bust however the zip kept running down its self so I opted for the 10, again a little tight but the 12 just overlapped its lace for being so big on me.

Pieced together creates a fabulous modest, gorgeously detailed autumnal coloured outfit!

Khaki and Faux Fur

Tuesday, 25 November 2014





































Turtle neck - Missguided
Khaki trousers - Missguided
Faux fur scarf - Bank Fashion
Fedora - Primark

This turtle neck is the best pale pink/pastel colour and its ribbed too! But its heartbreaking to know its rather see through and its very short of a crop! Sorry its quite pale here, its certainly not so light, that is just my lighting fading it out. I think these shots were taken around 4pm, after my school pick up, so it was getting dark and overexposure was needed!

Love the khaki tailored trousers. They are pleated at the top and wrap over your lady bits like a skirt does haha. These trousers are really comfy as well. I bought a size 10 (usually I'm a 10-12) but I had to send them back and I'm awaiting the size 12. They were just that little bit too tight around the waist and garden.

I threw in some essential faux fur from bank fashion just to add a bold kind of texture in comparison to the ribbing on the top. I'm not so sure on the mix of colours though? What do you think? I think its a fairly subtle clash, just need some confidence or ignorance hehe

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.
