OOTD: daisy chained together.



 

This is an outfit from a couple of days ago that I haven't had time to upload until now. I wore it to a village pub to have a few cheeky cider and blacks the other night.

 

 

 JUMPER - Primark / DRESS - Vintage

 

This dress was actually my lovely mother's until I 'borrowed' it two years back and it is one of my favourite dresses. I reckon I will be wearing it to death this summer what with the daisy print trend that is going on and all. I grunged this dress up with a black loose knit jumper and my old faithful biker jacket.

OOTD: Although we're tongue tied & breathless, we won't let our worries dictate who we are.

Hi my dears, hope you are all well. I had a day off today with which I made a DIY floral garland headband so I thought I'd do and OOTD post to show you it. If you're wondering what the lyrics used in the title are it is Don't Forget Who You Are by Miles Kane. This song has inspired me to try and look at things from a 'glass half full' perspective, by which I mean I am going to try and embrace things in a positive light and make the best of bad situations.

These photos were taken at around half seven at night and although it was pretty breezy it was still quite warm for English weather, well warm enough for a crop top anyway; although my body temperature may have been a bit disorientated considering I'd only just stepped out of a boiling hot bath!

 

BELT - Primark

 

I have wanted a floral headband ever since I first saw Lana Del Rey's Born To Die video, but everywhere I have looked they have been so bloody expensive! So since I had some spare flowers in the sewing box and a hairband I never wear I thought I'd team them up to create my Lana inspired garland; what do you think?

 

I feel ever so spring in these pictures, what with my daffodil background and all. I kept the colour scheme pretty muted today because I wanted the main focus of my outfit to be the headband. The jersey material and flats keep the outfit pretty laidback, tan belt gives a vintage feel and the necklace and the hairband just give this whole outfit quite a bit of edge. This is the first time I have ever worn a maxi skirt and have totally been missing out! They are so comfy and stylish plus they are great for spring weather because they are long enough to keep you warm but light enough to keep you cool (does that even make sense?)

LEOPARD FLATS - Primark

NECKLACE - Primark

 

I think this necklace looks so expensive and yet it was just £4! It reminds me of a necklace I saw Rihanna wearing once and since I adore Rihanna's grungy/edgy/sexy style I loved this as soon as I saw it on the stand.

Hmm, doing this post I have realised I am pretty brand loyal; Rimmel for make-up and Primark for accessories. Perhaps it has something to do with their reasonable prices!

OOTD: Innocence and arrogance entwined in the filthiest of minds

(song in title? The Last Shadow Puppets - My Mistakes Were Made For You)

Feeling a little bit late fifties / early sixties with this look. It has been pretty decent weather for the past few days here in England so I thought I would dare to bare some flesh and throw on a crop top. I love a crop top in the spring/summer; they're just so easy to style.

HEADBAND - Primark /CARDIGAN - TOPSHOP / CROP TOP - Primark / TROUSERS - H&M

FLATS - Primark

I got these flats from Primark for £3 in the sale (originally £6). They are  a really cool primary red colour and they just give an amazing pop of colour to an outfit (especially just a plain black dress)

I absolutely bloody love the print on these trousers. I got them from H&M for £4.95 in their spring sale (originally £9.99) - bargain or what! They are highwaisted and have a side-zip and they are really comfy to wear.

NECKLACE - eBay / WATCH - Michael Kors

OOTD: Grenadine, sunshine, can you break this heart of mine

(song in title? Lama Del Rey - Bel Air)

So I had a day off work today (yey!)which meant that I could have a nice relaxing day doing absolutely nothing but watch American sitcoms and make dinner for my family. It was sunny again today so I thought I'd get out in the garden and do an OOTD.

Blazer jacket - Primark / gold spike choker - eBay / dress - Topshop / belt - vintage / clutch - Primark / knee-highs - Primark / boots- Topshop

I went for a bold daisy print skater dress and a muted colour palette. The oversized blazer and clutch bag give a sophisticated vibe and I added the knee-highs to keep the look laidback.

Topshop PROWESS boots

 

I flippin' love these boots; they're from Topshop and they are just the perfect sized heel for them to be comfy enough for all day wear.
