Re-usable Fashion

17/04/2015

Taken a break from blogging again! I do massively apologies, so this post looks at how to reuse fashion - I am fabulous at doing this! As much as I love having a new outfit for every day my student loan just does not cut it - especially when I eat out 6 nights a week...
So I love the idea of been able to use something over and over again, I'm not sure about anyone else but I don't seem to have a set Winter/Summer wardrobe, because they end up been all mingled into one - downside to this, I've already worn all of my so called 'summer' clothes with boots tights and a coat...

This is just one example of how you can take a summer outfit and make it work for a different season!

I've always been kinda sceptical about jumpsuits, not sure why because I practically live in playsuits but I always had the impression that they wouldn't look right or they'd make me look huge, and then I found this one and my life has been changed forever (okay not literally but, you get me)

Necklaces - Primark
Bracelets - Michael Kors

- Pandora

Jumpsuit - Miss Selfridge
(although this was last years jumpsuit I have linked the jumpsuits and playsuits available from Miss Selfridge at the minute) -

I personally love this one!

I think I need it!

That bag again - I'm addicted to them, and I was going to Uni therefore I had more or less everything it it!

Shoes - Newlook
(Had to pick my trousers up so you could see my shoes, hence the varied length of them in this picture)

Jumper - Dorothy Perkins

So I loved this jumper when I saw it I purposely bought it a few sizes too big (more then a few actually...) simply because I wanted it to be oversized so I could wear it with ripped jeans, over dress, skirts etc etc...

Add a pair of sunglasses and its instantly taken from a slouchy student outfit to a fabulous day time look!

It is so easy to take a top, playsuit, skirt or whatever else it is you have in your wardrobe and rework it for the new season without having to spend a bomb on a whole new wardrobe, obviously I still love buying clothes and I will have another haul for you when I'm rich again (i.e. when payday arrives) but at the minute I am using what I have in my wardrobe with a couple of exceptions (you'll see)

Anyone else really really looking forward to Summer? I'm already on a mental countdown! It just seems too far away..

Hope you've enjoyed my post today check out my Instagram for daily outfit posts and random things!

70's Dreaming..

03/04/2015

I finally found the perfect style of jean to feed my 70's hunger and I must say they are perfect! Paired with this basic burnt orange turtle neck and an over sized shirt I can't really go too far wrong

Shirt - Warehouse - Sold out Online
Top - Topshop - £14
Jeans - Dorothy Perkins - £15

(Dom found it terribly difficult to take photos of me with no eye liner on... apparently its not normal...)

Okay so lets talk about the jeans - I have been looking for a pair of jeans to fit the 70's trend for a few weeks now, having tried Topshop, charity shops several vintage shops and having no luck I found these little gems in Dorothy Perkins when I was in London (which I still miss..)

So there not flares flares but instead I opted for the Boot Cut style simply because I liked the fit and the style more then any of the others that I'd found! I bought them during a promotion meaning I get them for less then £10 - I couldn't believe it either

I've worn them numerous times already and I can't wait for summer when I can sport them with a little crop top, sandals and sunglasses!
