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!

70s corduroy

 

Shirt - Topshop

Corduroy A-line skirt - Urban Outfitters

Shoes - Topshop

Hat - Topshop

I was inspired by Dearestdeer the fashionblogger to get my hands on this cute little 70s style corduroy front button skirt! She posted a picture on her instagram wearing this skirt and the 70s pussy bow shirt you may have seen in the topshop picture adverts. I am defiantly getting my hands on the pussy bow shirt next! It was such an adorable look!

This skirt has gone into sale when I searched for it and it was all out of stock! Absolutely gutted. I began to search ebay and depop a few weeks later only to realise I should just do my typical trick, keep the page open on my phone and check it everyday. And what happened? Ta da! A size small came back in stock! (I thought I was going to need a medium as I thought Urban Outfitters clothes come up smaller but after talking to someone selling a M on depop I found out that she is the same size as me and M was to big) Of course I snapped up the skirt right away! This trick has never failed me. Even today I managed to get my hands on something I had been watching for 4 weeks! Magic aye! haha

I wasn't really sure how to style this skirt as I had my mind set on the pussy bow shirt. I did a little research into the 70s trend and decided to go with a plain white shirt. At first I felt I looked to plain, so I added a black bow hair clip to the top of the shirt, mimicking a bow tie but I didn't like that either. Then I tried changing the size of my hat to something bigger and floppy. At first I didn't like that either and switched back but when I looked at the pictures on my laptop I preferred the hat as it presented it self as a statement.

To finish the outfit I wore my pointed toe Topshop boots. These boots are so simple but so chic and very expensive! I would never spend as much on such a shoe but luckily for my I had 1 Topshop uniform piece left and bagged them for half price, they are real leather too which I rarely buy into because of the price, so I am extremely pleased I could treat myself to such an elegant pair of sweethearts.
