I'm Bad Behaviour But I Do It In The Best Way...

Top - New Look

Trousers - Asos

Jacket - Vintage (£11)

Shoes - New Look

Bag - New Look

Scarf - River Island

I look as if I should be behind bars!

This look can only be described as 'SHIT! Melissa (my friend) is nearly at uni and I'm still in my pyjamas'.  This is my default outfit for university.  I love pairing these high waisted boyfriend jeans with cropped pieces.  The monochrome combination is one you can't fault.  I do feel like a robber in this outfit.  I accessorised with gold jewellery, but as the top has a high neck, I decided on big hoops rather than a necklace.  The metallic bag as a bit of colour and also it's new, so I wanted to show it off.  The camo jacket is purely for fashion rather than function (I froze).  It's a casual outfit that could easily be dressed up with heels and a fitted blazer for evening.  

I love wearing this for uni, I just wish it wasn't so darn cold!

It Comes Down To Reality...

March has arrived!!
And it's still cold, still raining and there is absolutely no sign of spring - yet (hence the wintery pictures).
But before all the talk of spring trends kick in, let us look at personal goals for spring rather than wardrobe ones.  Spring cleaning is a yearly tradition, where we chuck out all those items that make us feel like hoarders and replace them with new ones.  Now let's think about spring cleaning, but on an emotional level.  How about spring cleaning all those emotions that have had such a negative impact on us??  Surely this would be the perfect time to rid ourselves of those feelings that prevent us from achieving our true potential??  Let's spring clean ourselves personally, rather than just our physical surroundings!  When it comes to our wardrobes (just like our hearts), they need to be filled with love.  Each new piece you invest in needs to make your heart skip a beat and fill up with sheer joy at just the sight of them.  Just like our personal relationships, we need to feel that bond with our clothes.  When you're wearing something that you love, confidence shines through.  Fashion has the ability to turn you in to the person you have always wanted to be and we should all embrace that!
This spring, let us embrace the endless amounts of possibility that life and fashion have in store.
Until then, I'm going to stay in bed - it's freezing out there!

Even When I'm Acting Crazy...

Top - Primark

Trousers - Warehouse

Coat - Vintage (£9.99)

Shoes - New Look

Jewellery - Primark & Topshop

Believe it or not, I do actually own more tops than this one.

I love playing around with different textures (if not colours) and this outfit encapsulates some of my favourites.  The thin knit of the top compliments the pleather joggers well.  It adds a sporty edge to the otherwise classic top.  The faux fur coat is simply because I love faux fur and it gives a luxury feel to the outfit.  Slip ons are my favourite go to shoes and these faux leather quilted ones simply go with everything.  The lion chain gives it a finishing touch!

A professional look!

I was going to an interview today (and yes I did get the job), so I wanted to look professional with my own spin.  I kept the neutral palette with black and grey, it's simple but classic.  I wore my tapered leg trousers for the professional side of things and a waistcoat to create shape from the boxy top.  I paired it with simple pointed flats and a classic quilted bag (shame it's not Chanel).

Oh My Permission To Sin...

Top - Primark

Trousers - ASOS

Jacket - Vintage (£3.50)

Boots - New Look

This is a really casual look!

I love a good dark palette, so I kept it neutral with a grey/black contrast.  I love the simplicity of the slightly higher neck line of the top, so I wanted to add the ripped jeans for a more masculine touch.  I threw on this vintage padded shirt/jacket because I really wanted to wear it!

This outfit was perfect for good old Tescos and Whole Foods!
