Socially Acceptable Tracksuit

Trousers - Adidas Vintage

Jumper - Mum's Wardrobe

Belt - Vintage

Fedora - H&m

Socks - Topshop

Shoes - Superstar II by Adidas

Finally got round to shooting a new Ootd, life has been seriously hectic recently so you will have to excuse my very un-made up face. But here it is, the almost socially acceptable tracksuit outfit. Probably should have ironed these trousers before I put them on, but they're that weird fabric that constantly creases so there's never much point. I found these gems when I was in Bristol in February time last year with my friend at a vintage shop thing, they're 100% silk so they feel unreal to wear and they only cost me £15. My only problem with them is how wide they are around the hips, like hammer-time trousers.. not the most flattering. Normally I would wear these with some sort of cute crop top to balance out the Kim K bum they give me but seeing as Autumn is officially here, it's too cold for that nonsense.

Which brings me onto the strange occurrence with my hair, it seems to reflect the season.. and now that the leaves are orange-y.. I'm becoming even more ginger, very odd. Not that I mind, Ariel was always my favourite Disney Princess. On the subject of hair, however much I love this hat, it doesn't hold very well unless my hair is straight which is such a shame because I really love it, so if any of you curly girlies have tips for that, they are extremely welcome here. And no, bobbie pins don't work.

My new babies were my 19th birthday pres from my parents, and they are the best. (I'm 19 how old is that?!?) Not sure why I haven't ventured to Adidas Originals before, because they are super (get it) comfy and they come in my size!!!!!! Ye the excitement is real friends, adult shoe's finally fit me. I was considering getting the suede ones, but I felt after my boks' I didn't need two green suede trainers, seemed a little excessive even if green is the best colour. I've seen a few white versions of these around but I thought I would really go wild and get the black ones, which I lav.

I still can't believe how much support blogging has got me and it is honestly the best thing I have ever decided to do with my spare time. So I thank you all for reading it and sharing it etc etc it means a lot! That's the most emotion I can produce right now, but you are all just really gr8 and know that I love every one of you who visits.

BIG LOVES

Chinese Beauties

Dress/Jumper - China <3 but eBay, link HERE 

Belt - Vintage

Lace Bralette - Calvin Klein 

Shoes - Boohoo

Earrings - Spanish Markets

Necklace - 18th bday pres, will find out and get back to you

Clutch - Fiorelli

Hair Donut  - Primark

Seeing as all of my outfits are daytime and casual, I thought I would spice it up a bit and do an evening look. No not quite black tie, but I can't say that's a look many people ever need to wear. So this beauty only £5.95 from Chinese eBay including postage?!?!?! is so so comfy, possibly greatest buy ever? 

The best part about buying random stuff from Chinese eBay is that even if it looks awful, at the end of the day it probably only cost £5 and you can sell it on Depop for £20... Not that I do that.

My depop is here btw, check me out.

Boohoo have the most brilliant collection of heels for very reasonable prices, these despite being 6.5 inches are extremely comfortable, not that I can walk in them but whatever. They look good.

This necklace is the sweetest thing, my mum's best friend got it for me for my 18th last September and it is just beautiful. Do you remember when we were little and we all bought those quartz stones - like this

Well the necklace is simply one of those spray painted gold on a long chain, and it is soooo pretty. I know you aren't meant to mix silver and gold jewellery, but my gold version of the earrings I am wearing have lost 1 earring, so alas.. stuck with silver.

Safe my lovelies

Just a Baseball Hat and a Bit of Denim

Leggins - Topshop

Shirt - Vintage

Hat - Market

Denim Jacket - Motel Rocks Vintage Pop Up

Scrunchie - DIY - link tutorial click here

Sunglasses - Primark

Shoes - Creepers, Office

I am aware that I look like an American 'football' player on their day off, a very standard leggins and shirt sort of day. Not saying that footballers wear leggins, it's just the whole 'backwards hat vibe' going on.

I feel like I may never take this jacket off, it is the comfiest thing with the most strategically placed pockets for concealing ones hands, that are actually big enough to fit a phone, keys and purse in. So thats fab. It even fits perfectly over every single item of clothing I own, although not in the 'Joey in Chandlers' sense; from another jacket (double whammy) to one or two hoodies, not that I need them in this weather. Although if you've been to Herts Uni Library, it gets pretty chilly in there. Anyway I've gone completely off topic, I can never decide if I'm a 'leggin's' person or a tights person. but revision calls for elasticated waists (If you know what I mean) so these do me fine in my slouchy moments. Although I feel that 'fashion' is something one should always pride yourself on, it's just impossible to look good during exam season, stress affects skin, everyone is eating three times their body weight because its a fab way to procrastinate.. or procrastin-eat (ha) and we're all in that awkward in-between stage of when it's acceptable to whip your ever-so-pasty legs out for the general public.

Shoes-wise though, creepers are wonderful. Not necessarily a 'flattering' shoe.. but the platform does give me that cheeky extra inch and a half that brings me to the normal height of 5'5" (I'm lying, way closer to 5'4") But anyway, in a classic black suede they go with baaaaaaaasically everything, except brown but I don't own brown. These are the kind of shoe that I will keep in my cupboard and rediscover in 4 years and start wearing again. I am a major hoarder and I hate throwing anything away, but this is the kind of shoe that is so simple that they can't really be out of style so I don't feel any guilt in hoarding these. 

It probably isn't legit, but I've decided that having light eyes makes them more sensitive, hence why I am permanently wearing sunglasses or else I look like I'm screwfacing the camera, not a good look. These are what I like to call my "throwaway pair" originally bought for lovebox festival last year, they are brought out every time I'm going somewhere where they will probably be snapped in half. And for £1.50 I don't feel too distressed by that option.

Thanks for reading as always!

Tie-Dye Leggins

Leggins - American Apparel

Shirt - Dad's

Socks - Probably M&S Childrens Range, the beauty of small feet

Shoes - Reebok Classics

Scrunchie - DIY

I am aware of the awful quality of these pictures... Not too sure what happened, the lighting was way off and blown out in half of them and unfocused in others, they almost look like disposables, weird. Anyway, these leggins are seriously old, got them from that yearly sale thingy that AA do in Brick lane where they sort of get rid of old stock and odd sizes for reeeally cheap prices, worth going too. (If you happen to know when the next one is, tell me and Ill add it onto this post.) 

The dog featured is my lavley cocker spaniel Archie, he was an unintentional feature but the reason that I am facing away from the camera in most pictures. He thought it would be funny to roll in his own poo...

Yeah, so. This isn't an 'inspo' fashion post, just a very 'me' outfit, which basically consists of an outfit muddle of childish socks with a ridiculously over-sized top, although 'over-sized' isn't hard to achieve seeing as I'm a mere 5'3"! And obviously, my classics. If I could, I would wear my Reeboks to everything, comfiest shoes in the world. And I know, comfy isn't normally the way forward with fashion, as everyone discovered when Crocs and Huaraches came out. But these are seriously amazing. I wouldn't say I am that into trainers as I don't really get the hype of owning 30 pairs of various Air Max's, I'm much more of a heels fan. But whatever, I do like classic trainers, and as long as they don't resemble running trainers I'll probably like them. Hoops are another item that can be styled in any way imaginable, ranging from 'Chavy' (1) to 'Chola' (2)

eg....

Exhibit 1-

Exhibit 2-

But that is mainly down to personal style, and whether you define yourself as a Vicky Pollard or a Gretchen Wieners. Basically.... hoops are fresh.

Anyway, always get to sidetracked by mean girls GIFs lol.

Hope you enjoyed this, big luv to all ma readers!!!

50 Shades of Grey

 

Jeans - ASOS

Crop Top - Topshop

Bag - Vintage (Mum's)

Sunglasses - Market

JELLY SHOES - eBay link here

Necklaces - The 'chai' is from Israel, sorry it always turns backwards 

- The chain is Topshop

Ring - Forever 21

Scrunchie - DIY obv

Just a little spring like outfit for you all, with a fabulously witty blog post title. Keeping as much in theme with my 50 shades of grey, I thought the rope chain bag was appropriate, if you know what I mean. I always find these jeans sort of hard to wear, because although high waist-ed stuff is the most flattering, the majority of tops are either too cropped or too long. And if, like me you aren't such a fan of your stomach, too cropped inst normally the best option. But this was the best I could do, as I didn't want to include any colours that weren't grey I couldn't photograph it with the jumper I would actually wear with this, but whatever, its a navy blue rugby one if you cared. Ill post a cheeky pic below so as not to ruin the running theme above. Although to be fair it matches amazingly coincidentally with my Scrunchie, heppy Ellie. I don't actually wear this top that much, it just goes with everything I'm currently blogging..

The jumper was originally my dads (I am the queen of  "borrowing" clothes) And although my dad is a very cute 5'7" as with many 80's trends it went way past my knees, so i cut it up and resewed it ever so beautifully.

Anyway, hope this post is well received!

Skort Loving

Skort - Primark

Shoes - Primark

Grey Crop Top - Topshop

Black Cropped Off Shoulder Top - Boohoo

Necklace- eBay, you can get it here

White Scrunchie - DIY

Nail Polish - Chanel, don't know the number sorry

Lipstick - Mac 'Russian Red' in matte, I think its number 73

Coat - Vintage, was Dads years ago but I found it and told him I'm keeping it

Primark is seriously good right now! Minus they're overly tacky neon clothing and leather copies, but shoes wise and skirts / matching sets are pretty cool. worth having a look. Feel like I'm always apologising on this, but sorry for the boobage, bra's ain't ma thing.

So this is another outfit selection, it's definitely smart enough for dinner and with the right make up and hair actually done, possibly party. Seeing as I have an 18th tonight, I shall style it up and repost the results. The cut on this skort is much more suited to someone with (short and stubby) legs like mine as opposed to the geometric shaped one which suits long (lucky) legged girls, I think (hope) its flattering, and I love the pattern and colour, makes a change from wearing black bottoms. Also gives me an excuse to whip out the St. Moriz and look especially bronzed. I'm feeling these shorts could also be easily made casual with a long shirt or a baggy crop top and trainers, versatile, lovely.

I may start wearing these shoes all the time.. that's how much I love them, so expect many more blog posts including these, even if the post isn't relevant.

Never know how to end blog posts, I think I need a signature thing?

'On Wednesdays We Wear Pink'

So, I finally got the courage up to do an actual clothes post, and I'm new to this so try not to judge me too harshly. Thought seeing as it is the 10 year anniversary of Mean Girls, I'd do an inspired post of a 'Pink Wednesday' sort of outfit.






And here goes..

Oh and apology in advance for the 'mirror selfie,' the auto focus on my camera wouldn't, well.. focus on self timer so this was the only option. My mirror has weird lines running through it, so I apologise for that too.

 

Top - h&m (very old)

Shirt - Primark 

Jeans - Can't actually remember but possibly also h&m, DIY ripped, click here for my tutorial post

Boots - Ebay, but this is the link for the person who sells them

Scrunchie - DIY

I have actually had four whole requests on a Scrunchie DIY tutorial, from real people!! So a post will follow soon, along with a 'How To' do french plaits on yourself as that has also been requested (fans x)

Happy Mean Girls Day!
