Outfit Twelve

Today is almost the start of August Bank Holiday. Festival goers are off to Leeds, Reading and Cream fields and some of us are off on a girly weekend to Dublin! Today I feature an outfit that can be dressed up for the office, down for the summer or add a bit of sparkle for the evening! It really is a dress for any occasion. I got this dress in New york sorry everyone however the accessories are all UK! I got it after my mum spotted a few girls wearing it around Soho when we finally found the store it was a must have. I then wore it home on the plane and the scary USA police security airport checker lady said after check I was who I say I am nice dress! - Ace!

The Outfit:


White dress with navy embroidery - As I said from a shop in New York $19.99 however they have a very similar style of t-shirt dress in topshop at the moment which I also wanted to buy.

Cardigan - New York as well I am afraid however the style is all around at the moment so I'm very sure you could pick a similar one up from Zara.

I have teamed this dress with long boots with a tassel at the back £15 from Primark! Got them in Liverpool on Tuesday, you could also wear heels the strappy ones are a small heel perfect for me as I topple over on anything higher! these were from River Island and were a birthday present so they were a little of the steep side at £45 roughly but they still have them in store atm I checked the other day. Don't forget to finish the look off with a snazzy bag this bright pink one was £6 from Primark and it can be a clutch or it has a chain strap! The earrings were on sale in miss selfridges £2.50!

Outfit Eleven

This week it was Julia's birthday and Amanda confronted me at her party asking for outfits from only a certain number of shops and listed them as these are shops they have on the isle of Mann. Amanda I hope you have Topshop as it's a Topshop themed outfit this week!
I've had this dress for a few months and I wear it a hell of a lot. Well worth the money I paid for it as you can dress it up and down with jeans, leggings, tshirts, jackets - Amazing and bang on trend!

The Outfit:


Flower Print Dress - £40 Topshop yes a bit steep for a credit crunch shopper however I have worn it practically twice every week since I bought it I'm never out of the thing! So it works out ok!


Leggings - £3 Primark can't go wrong with a but of Primarni!

T-shirt - £4 from H&M I like H&M for basic tee's there super there so cheap you can have one in every colour!

I would put this outfit together with SUPER high shoes (please note I cannot walk far in these they are BEAUTIFUL though and I could stare at them all day long) these were Topshop a birthday present this time. You could also just add pumps £8 from Primark and there really comfy. Throw on a satchel and off you pop!

Outfit Ten

This outfit is a little prim and proper so I may take the hem up a little to make it a little more wearable. I do feel about 4 years old in this dress but its quite sweet. Also its ace as it holds you in in all the right places even when you've eaten wayyyyyy to much! Suitable to wear with or without a top underneath too. Perfect for picnics.

The Outfit:

Green Pinafore Dress - I got mine from Topshop a few years ago however they sold it in a cheap shop next to mcDonalds too?! Chose this outfit as it can be made into something suitable to wear today even though its a little old. Recycling!

Big Gold Earrings - H&M £1.99 bargain however I was dancing in them the other day (rather wildy) and one flew across the dance floor and I had to scramble around for it - sticky knees lovely!

Add a blazer or cardigan especially for that librarian look!! Chic librarian! Gold pumps, or gold sandals and big satchel bag!
Whalaa complete..



Everyone should check out Theuniformproject.com this girl is wearing one dress for 365days obviously she has 7 of the same dress for washing purposes, but she accessories and adds clothing to it each day to create a new look and its all about recycling and reusable fashion.

Outfit Nine

Something a bit sparkly this week. When I wear this top people do comment mainly on how sparkly I am! A walking disco ball! I had to get this top after walking past it for 4 weeks to get to my placement and just falling in love with the sparkle! However in the shop they had it displayed backwards which is how I wear it as the other way around its very low and isn't as spectacular! It also has the most amazing Shoulder pads in the world!!

The Outfit:



Sparkly Top - £24.99 from a vintage shop in Nottingham. However I have spied some very similar in much more subtle tones in Topshop this season.

Black Mini - £20 from Zara another brilliant buy its a little like a bubble skirt and I wore it constantly in winter even if it is a little short its just more space to show off coloured tights.

I also wear this top with blue jeans £40 Topshop but it can be teamed with anything you fancy really. In winter I may experiment with layers underneath. However it is a little baggy for wearing under things so it may just be a special occasion top. Team with sparkly bag ASOS and disco shoes to match Office!! or just tone it down if you please!
