#WIW 2014

I hope everyone had an insane New Year and Christmas!

Here's a mini round up of some outfits of 2014.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas...

Every year I make a big point out of a glamorous Christmas party outfits but couldn't find a single sequin to love this year. Fortunately, being that knob in sunglasses in the night time happens to do it for me - I guess the fur helps too. Merry Christmas!

What a Day...

There's a short period of time in the year when you can wear pleather dungarees and finally it's here. There's loads of reasons why you can't wear these beauts in Winter or Summer: Firstly, they're pretty warm - I was seriously overheating one shopping trip traipsing around Meadowhall last weekend so Summer time is out of the question; you can't wear them in the winter because they're too ace to be covered with a jacket or coat; and they only look good with a cropped top underneath. So that leaves a very specific type of weather where its not too hot for a thick layer of plastic sheeting three quarters of your body, and it is not too cold to go jacketless.... there's can't really be a breeze either as half your midriff was suffer....  

 Today I'm wearing:

Pleather Dungarees - ASOS (click here)

Necklace - Topshop

Shoes - Schuh (click here)

Top - Primark

Sunglasses - Primark 

An unintentional H2T Ham

I should be writing an essay but instead I'm prancing around outside taking (forcing someone to take) pictures of myself. The fruitful mix of a bad month and payday lead to a good rinsing of the local shops and today in an bid to wear some of my recently purchased items I've somehow ended up in an outfit almost completely head to toe in H&M. Some of it is old season but still feels strange wearing lots from the same shop. Also felt good to get an unintentional clash in there too.

Today I'm wearing:

long tartan sleeveless shirt - H&M

Gilet - H&M

Trousers - H&M

striped tee - H&M

shoes - Red or Dead and Schuh

Flight and Bandwagonning

I've been carried away on the Blogger's Bandwagon again! I resisted for ages to bag the blogger's skort (part skirt, part shorts). Zara started it and they've since been found in all kinds of colours, prints and materials. It's been resisted all summer then I happened to be browsing a tiny, independent shop on the Doncaster high street  when I found this beauty. It's pleather. But it's also a fad, so its fine.

It's quite a casual outfit today, so I jazzed them up with some huge blingies. 

Today I'm wearing:

Wings Hoodie - Ebay (similar here)

Tee- Urban Outfitters

Skort - Similar here

Shoes - Red or Dead - Schuh

Where's My Prince?

I can't stop describing everything as dreamy and it is really annoying me. But it has inspired this outfit post this afternoon. This skirt was a super bargain at a Net-a-Porter sample sale. I picked it up for a photo shoot and it turned out that I liked it too much to share. Perfect for prancing around the garden on a sunny afternoon like I might one day phoofff!!! ..into a princess :)

It's a bit of a rags and riches outfit, today I'm wearing:

Ballerina skirt - D&G (sample sale at NAP)

Crop top - Primark

Shoes - Moda in Pelle

Don't Wake me, I plan on sleeping in
Don't slate me, I plan on breathing in...

Floral Velvet

It's not so summery but my outfit choices these days are severely confused. I LOVE this dress - its Topshop Boutique from a few seasons ago and its so Gothic-sex it makes me feel really feminine. There's a real luxe feel to the velvet and the flowers are dead pretty. So even though it is a bit of an odd choice this June day, clothes still make me feel good. And that's the most important thing. My boots are new - you can't seem them well in these images but they are ankle boot platforms with toe studding. I'll probably live in them this winter.

Today I'm wearing:

Studded boots - TK Maxx (click here)

dress - Topshop Boutique

Tiara - Primark

Seeking Solace

In my last few days of living in London there is chaos abound and I can only find comfort in leopard print and heels. I'm packing my life today so some charity shop is getting some serious goodies since I just don't have the capacity to drag my stuff 200 miles away. I'm not usually one for coordinating my clothes but it accidentally happened this morning - the original goal was to finally get my legs out this year since my Tunisian tan is fading fast....

Today I'm Wearing:

purple snap back - PrettyLittleThing.com

leopard print skirt - River Island

Top - Primark

Shoes - Next

Sifted and Thrifted

Finally I've had chance to get back to The East End Thrift Store - it is such a trek from my neck of the woods but so worth it. They do a fill-a-bag section and its amaaaaazing. We only filled our bag with three items so it worked out to less than £3.34 per item. I know! It's nuts.... my fave pick was this pair of dungarees. I have to say I never thought I'd succumb to such a trend but my inner fashion slave came screaming out.

 Today I'm Wearing:

Dungarees - East End Thrift Store

Leopard print shoes - Office

Tropical Vintage

I found this dress in a vintage stall at Portobello Market several years ago for my 20th birthday party and every year I still pull it out to wear all Summer. The print it amazing!! And I reckon if soul mates were clothes... I'm also wearing an Adidas pink lumo jacket which I've had since my teens and my very first pair of Irregular choice shoes. I bought them from Faith about 10 years ago! oh today is an aged day.

BLACK

A recent Spring clear out has me rediscovering lots of old pieces! I found my vintage leather and suede jacket - another piece from TRAID charity shop. I know the outfit is a bit black today but some things are beyond our control... I used to love organising outfits together and experimenting in different ways but I've noticed recently I'll throw together what ever happens to be at the front of my wardrobe - which I guess is an experiment in itself. So today is black and tomorrow are ponies.

Today I'm wearing:

Leather and suede jacket - TRAID

sheer dress - TOPSHOP

leopard print cross front bra - TOPSHOP

Necklaces - Dorothy Perkins

Shoes - NEXT

Veil and Shine

 The second the sun comes out I'm putting on my floatiest see-through dress and parading down the street bare foot - You can take a girl out of Yorkshire but you can't take the Yorkshire out of me.......

But for now my wardrobe seems to be regressing. While I love a sparkle and some shine - it's a bit festive! I can't help it the weather is confusing my body and my general attire. I feel like a bird who flew south but still ended up in the Arctic.

I don't normally like to bring attention to my lips but the shiny materials I'm wearing just called for it.

Today I'm Wearing:

Bobble Hat - DIY Veil see here

Cream chiffon shirt - H&M

Sparkle purple knit - H&M

Sparkle Tube Skity - Topshop (but exactly the same one found in Primark)

Platform - Jeffrey Campbell
