Dressing For The Flag

Maxi Dress - TK Maxx

Heels - Primark

Belt - No idea

Lip liner - Rimmel London

Lipstick - Mac 'Russian Red'

Earings - I want to say St Albans Market, but I can't actually remember

If you are wondering what 'OOTD' stands for, it means 'Outfit Of The Day' (just in case)
A little while ago I bought this cute maxi from TK Maxx and I think it's the perfect balance between daywear and nightwear, swapping in a pair of trainers and a fedora for big earings and a pair of heels. As the bottom of the dress is slit up the sides it can be easily tied up to make it 'beachy' and therefore casual, or left long and floaty, hence 'nightwear.'
And no.. I don't mean nightwear in the sense of what one wears to bed, because (just a guess here) but I don't know any 18 year olds who sleep in floor length dresses.

Don't actually have much to say about this, as its just a very simple outfit. Obviously featuring plaits, how else would I tame my hair and red lipstick just to bring it together. Ah...I am the colours of the British flag, how appropriate following their recent success in the world cup. 

As always, ta for reading, following, sharing

means a lot, be back soon!

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!!!
