Outfit Sixteen - Sorry its been a While!

As I said sorry its been a while the first few weeks being thrown into Uni have been a little hectic to say the least but now I have a timetable of studying - yes a timetable! Its getting better! Last night was the Topshop 20% evening and the credit crunch shopper was spotted as street style for their facebook page! woop! This weeks outfit is a simple summer dress but dressed up and layers for those winter cold months that have suddenly hit!

The Outfit:


Dress - Topshop £45 but with 20% off £36 (I think thats right? Maths isn't my strong point!) I'm thinking of this dress like my other flowery dress so I am expecting ALOT of wear out of it throughout the winter months!

Navy Cardi - £19.99 from Zara I bought it to replace my old one and haven't really worn it until this year! Mainy due to the fact Ashleigh is wearing tons of navy and its rubing off on me! I too want a little nauticalness in my life!!

I would wear this dress with mayb a vesty top underneath as it has little capped sleeves, or a long sleeved top in black or white or any colour from the dress. Thick tights or tights and sock are a MUST for winter teamed with big black over the kneww boots - perfect for Autumn/winter! Chuck on an enourmous bag like mine £9 Primark its HUGE and can fit tons in it but it does squeek as its new and plastically however Rhi has the same one from last year in brown and now hers is all floppy! this is the aim!

Outfit Fourteen

This week it was getting a little cloudy little cold then woke up this morn and low and behold its glorious sunshine so on went the sandals and out came the dresses! However it is almost the beginning of University once more and so I decided to go completely art student for my outfit this week!! bit grunge!




The Outfit: (the sleepy just woken up look)

Cardigan - Ebay yellowjelly £16 vintage old Lady cardigan very lovely though and rather warm! I plan on chucking it on over anything and everything in winter to waken up those dull and drab days!!

Stripy Top - Zara £15ish I bought it last year but its lovely! stripy tops are everywhere this season and there so easy to wear. Forget the horizontal stripe makes u large and just go with it! chuck on with a large a line shortish skirt or jeans and off you pop!

Jeans - Topshop as before £40

I have teamed this today with a large belt I got inspiration from Carri Bradshaw in SATC the movie but they have ALOT of these belts about this year everywhere!! but more studded mine was from Matalan. Teamed with arty flowery pumps from Office and a vintagy leather bag £2.50 from Oxfam!

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 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!

Outfit Eight

Its been a while to say the east since my last post this is mainly due to my 21st birthday, moving house and a holiday to New York. But its back for the 8th week with a superb outfit featuring some finds in New York its self.




The Outfit:

(Scary pic!)

White Shirt with Bow Tie at Neck - H&M last summer £20 I bought this top towards the end of summer last year and have worn it tons since. It makes a smart daytime and evening look, perfect when going from work to the pub.

Black 3/4 Sleeve Cardigan - Bought in New York for $20 really good for wearing under a blazer as you can't see the sleeves but still have the warmth. It does have weird long bits at the front however I can wrap these round myself.

Black 3/4 Sleeve Blazer - I have been looking for a blazer for ages! Got this bargin in New York for £30!! its a little thin but still very super. At the moment there are alot in the sale at Zara for abut the same price.

Blue Jeans - Topshop £40 they fit really nicely though as you can buy the correct lenght and waist size.

I would wear this with little black and white pumps, or gold pumps shown in previous weeks £8 Primark. Team with bag/sachual I got mine from Urban Outfitters not exactly cheap but a treat is always lovely!

Outfit Seven

This week has been a busy one but at last the blog is on time! I looked back over the last six weeks and noticed I have done hardly anything other than dresses?! So this week Have gone for another summery look which I wore to the Cheshire show on Wednesday. Apologies for the face just come back from the dentist and my lip is huge!

The Outfit:



Zebra stripy top - This was a shopping gift from Topshop not really a credit crunch bargain top at £24.99 however it has the same shape as the t shirts with open arm holes however there sewn up so I'm not flashing my bra to everyone and thing.

Shorts - Zara £19.99 I think I wore them in outfit three, bought last year but stood the test of time bit are a little see through. However my sister has some very similar from H&M and there are fab can't see a thing through them!

I am wearing this outfit with bit earrings from Primark I love these and they were about £2 but I have worn them so much there fab. As its summer and scorching hot now (in places) I would get my gladiator sandals on or maybe gold pumps for an evening pub trip. As always team with massive bangles or a big gold necklace? It doesn't really need much as the pattern is so much.

This outfit also looks ace with blue or black jeans and denim shorts.

Outfit Four

Day late this week, due to the end of degree fashion show last night. Which was amazing got my a little scared for next year! This outfit is what I wore to the fashion show, sadly though I couldn't wear heels as I walked for half an hour into town and the streets around my house are very unforgiving! So for the entire night I was a midget compared to everyone in their killer heels. Walking into to town for the show at 5:30pm I got a few odd looks as I was a little dressed up. The outfit is really simple but I always feel very fashiony and arty in it, winner!

The Outfit:

Long t-shirt top - My mum bought this for me as the student budget doesn't always stretch I think it was £19.99 from Zara, but its lovely. Bit see-through so I wear a white top underneath.

Leggings - Primark £2.98 bargain now I've worn them a few time they have stretched and now no longer sit half way down my bum!

I wore this with my little gold pumps £8 from Primark, but you could always wear it with killer heels or pumps. I have two necklaces on a cluster of gold chains, stolen from my sister but she got them from Primark a while ago. I've seen a few in Miss selfridges but the're £20!!! and the other pearly necklace which I love I feel a bit Chanel is from Topshop last year I think this was under £10. Its snapped once but been re-threaded! Phew! You always ditch the necklaces and show off the print and just add big earrings! I also took a small clutch from ASOS which was a Christmas present and wahoo away I went.

Outfit One

This the first week of the blog I have kept it simple and gone with the outfit I am wearing at the moment as its easy, casual and to hand.

It's my casual but fashiony outfit. I wear it when I go to the hairdressers a lot cause I always feel I have to dress up there.



The Outfit:

Gray cardigan - Stolen from my boyfriend's wardrobe floor but initially from Topman. Good for slouching.

Dark gray cardigan - Zara £19.99, customised with buttons on each cuff.

Floral Shirt - Matalan £8, I bought this after loving the Luella shirts she did last S/S and this was a fraction of the price


Stonewashed light denim jeans - Zara £19.99, yes the jeans are the same as my cardigan! they have zipped ankles, are a perfect summer jean as they aren't as heavy as normal jeans and can be rolled up or opened at the ankle for summery days.

I would wear this outfit with my black and white brogues or brogue look a likes, £20 from Faith or my flowery pumps from Office Girl.
