Floral Topshop charityshop find.

Another Topshop find today! This is probably one of my favourites! The pattern is so gorgeous and it fits so well and has loads of material so goes proper out when you spin which is fun. It was £6.99 which for a Topshop dress that looks pretty brand new, I don't think it's bad. I really want to wear this out, the only problem is I have to go braless! So I'm not sure about that! Don't wanna get nippy! But I am in love with this, so may just wear it round the house and admire it everyday.


Look at the dreamy pattern! Hnnng!



Ignore my tan lines oopsy! But low back!




Casually looking at of my window pose..


Look how fun it is!! It goes 'weeeeeee'

Yup, beautiful right here..

Oldschool Topshop dress OOTN

Today I figured I should probably get out of my house and do something with my life so I decided to get the bus to Norwich, my nearest City and go to all the charity shops as I rarely have time to do them all. I was pretty unlucky, didn't find anything excet a jacket I will blog about tomorrow so I decided to get the bus back after like an hour and a bit there. I figured to cheer me self up over my fail of a charity shop sesh I would do the charity shops in town and this is wear I was pretty lucky! I found 2 Topshop dresses! The one that's going to be in this Blogpost is an old school one, like the Topshop label is different and vintage like. So it must be pree old, but it's very pretty. Like heavy kind of clingy material but flattering on me as it clings at the top then goes out slightly so doesn't cling to my huge ass and hips :) It has a pretty flowery design on it that is very subtle! I would happily wear this dress clubbing/out as I think it's soo pretty but classy and not trashyyy and trashy is not my style :D Also this dress was £5.99 which some may think is expensive for charity shops, but 1. this is a Topshop dress 2.It's possibly vintage and 3. It's not like I can buy my clothes anywhere else!

Oh and I apologise for the photos being in my Kitchen.. as there is so much stuff everywhere in there and it's really bright and it may be too much for your eyes! I decided it was too cold for outside and the other room I usually take photos in was real messy so the kitchen had to do. Enjoy the yellowness.
Oh and I was wearing a red bra during these stupidly so had to touch it up so if you see any black marks that don't look right, that would be my really bad touching up skills :)

Why do I do this pose? It's like 'I dunno'






Too much crack. I am cray.

Summery dress OOTD

So I have soooooooo much stuff to blog about, it's getting a bit craycray! I will try and fit some more blogs in today! But for now, I am just going to blog about one dress. It's a beautiful dress :) I got this from a charityshop in Cromer which was raising money for a Church/Christian group I think. It was hanging near the door, and I grabbed it as soon as I saw it, hoping that it would fit! It was quite pricey for a charity shop.. £7.95 BUT still had the original New Look tag on that said £28 so I figured really for a new dress that hasn't been worn that isn't bad :)
It is white with red flowers all over it, I am crazy for florals/prints! Just think it makes an outfit so much more girly and cute! It's fitted at the top and then goes out, it has netting underneath so goes out a bit more than usual which I love! Feel like someone from Grease or something! It also has a cut out love heart shape at the back but I forgot to take a photo of this! I have it in mind to wear to a wedding, but tbh now the weather is getting hotter I am hoping there will be a few events in the evening where I can wear it to :)



I teamed it with my chunky black suede Ebay heels, originally Newlook and some red lippy. A simple yet visually interesting girly outfit :) I look forward to wearing this out soon!

Fit for a festival

I recently took a trip to Holt with my family. If you're not from Norfolk, you probably don't know where this is... but it's a lovely pretty town, full of quite posh little shops, it also has a number of charity shops that aren't that expensive which surprised me because of the posh shops surrounding them. I picked up a few things. One thing being this cute little floral dress! It's so comfortable and lovely. I think it cost me £4. It makes me want to put on my wellies and head to a festival with a drink in my hand and flowers in my hair!
I teamed this dress up with my favourite shoes of the moment, my JELLY SHOES from primark, they are so 90s and awesome! 
I love the colours and pattern of this floral dress as well, the floral pattern seems old fashioned with the faded pastel colours :)



Most definitely ran out of poses and had to think quickly before the timer went off... this happened. :P

Summery date outfit.


I nearly didn't buy this floral dress as my boobs are a tiny bit too big for it.. but it was too pretty to put down so I got it anyway :) It cost me £4.99and was from British Heart Foundation in Sheringham. The faux leather jacket is also a charityshop find, it cost me £7.50 and was from a charity shop in Norwich, I actually purchased it on my lunch break! 
The shoes I have put with this outfit are from Primark and were £8, they are a mix between flatforms and platforms, as the platform isn't very high, they are sooo nearly flatforms and very comfortable!

This outfit makes me want to go for cocktails with all my girlfriends or on a summer date. Its a lovely summery floral outfit, with an added leather jacket as we live in England.. :P





excuse my pink bra on show, oopsy.

Soldier on outfit.

So as I have been useless I decided to pull my finger out today and do lots of outfit photos, so this is the first post of 5 outfit posts today! I was going to do one big one, but it would be quite photo heavy so figured it would be easier for everyone if it was 5 different ones!

So first up a dungaree dress that I picked up a few weeks back from a charity shop I don't usually go to in Norwich, as it's in the total different direction to the others I usually go to but I think I had loads of time to spare on this day so thought I'd have a gander :) This was the only thing I got and I think it was around £4. It's originally River Island and a black thick cotton like material.

I teamed this dress with a red top I got from Primark, my new soldier tights also from Primark which were only a pound and pretty much make this outfit, my new converse style shoes from Newlook and my new necklace also from Newlook which was like £2 in the sale :)

The tights are something that I wouldn't usually wear, but I thought they were really funky and quirky, and figured I could make them work somehow as they were only a pound and that's pretty much saying BUY ME PLEASE!

I think this outfit would be perfect for the Spring like days where it's really sunny but still a bit chilly so you need to wear something thicker than a summer dress :)

Big charity shop haul and TROUSERS.

So today was my day off but I had to be at work at 9 to see some lady about an NHS card thing and so she could take my photo. I was only there for 10 minutes so ofcourse I then went charity shop shopping. I was pretty successful today! I got atleast one thing from nearly every shop I went in! I also got TROUSERS! And shorts!! I think I have blogged before about how scared I was about doing this challenge because I have never been able to get trousers/jeans/shorts from charity shops but today I got a pair of trousers, jeans, and some shorts! I also got a dressing gown, a bag, a dress and 2 puzzles... 


So first up.. these lovely patterned gypsy like trousers. They are loose and soft and lovely! Makes me never want to wear jeans again tbh! Because they are quite loud and patterned I just quickly styled them with a black top, scarf from my last haul and an owl necklace. Comfy outfit that would be perfect for uni/rehearsals/lazy day :) These were originally from Marks and Spencers and cost me £4.49



Pretty pattern!


Turned the bottoms up :)


With my charity shop brogues :)



I have like no shorts that fit me, maybe one denim pair but I only wear them in the summer so when I saw this thick grey ones I got excited cos I instantly imagined them with boots, tights and layers :) They are orginally from French Connection and cost me £2




I LOVELOVELOVE this dress, it's originally Primark and oh so cute, and fits lovely and the style is super cute and flattering for my shape (tight on boobs loose on bum/belly/hips) It's so girly and lovely and cost me £4 I think :)





I also got a bag, a dressing gown and some puzzles. The bag and dressing gown are on my instagram.. lovelyweatherforducks

I am yet to blog about my 2 new velvet dresses that I got from ebay for charity and my new makeup brushes but they will come soon :)
Hope you've enjoyed the haul!

Dressy dresses (charity shop buys)

So I haven't got a huge time to go charity shop shopping all the time because I work a lot during the week but I figured I would go to some on my lunch break, the ones that I went to the other day with Matt because I found some quite good stuff! So I did and I found 2 dresses in British Heart Foundation..

The first is velvet and is a skater style but with cut out sides. I have never owned anything velvet or anything cut out so it was a bit of a risky purchase! It's a bit loose but it's comfy and I feel really girly in it and it's my favourite go to colour! :D


Testing it out with my hat :)


Showing the cut out at the side. I have a red bra on in this picture and you can't really see it which is good! it's a little ill fitting at the top around my boobs and around the waist but still so comfy and pretty that I still really like it..


Hangin'


I like it with a necklace because as it's a bit ill fitting at the top it draws the attention away from the baggyness and it also looks pretty with my trusty zebra.

The next dress I got is super cute and less clubby like. It's more presentable and would possibly be better for a meal with the family, a wedding or a christening..
It's baby pink with black buttons, black collar, long sleeves and pleats at the bottom. It's super adorable. It's well fitted, a bit too much atm possibly, and I don't usually wear long sleeves in dresses but I thought it was really nice so I'll give it ago and think I will wear it for my niece's christening in April!

Pretty girly pleated bottom, makes me feel like someone from Heartbeat!




Ahhhh collar and buttons ahhhh cuteness overload :D



The velvet dress was £6.99 and the pink dress was £4.99 so a little expensive for charity shops but cheap if you think about buying them in normal shops! I was pretty happy with my lunch break purchases and plan to wear the velvet one tomorrow night as I'm going out after work :) So will take some more photos then, oh and sorry that my facial expressions in these photos are really weird..

New dresses

Today I decided to go and spend money I don't have :-). I only got 2 dresses and they only came to £35 which is impressive because they are both pretty, one may become my graduation dress but I want to wear it now!! I looked for nice chelsea boots everywhere but was dissapointed :(
Number one dress was from a little cheap shop in norwich called red dress I think.... its dark grey/black with bright pink lines and was £15. I love where it goes in and the fact it has a collar and buttons, cute!
Nu ber two dress is from topshop sale! It was £20 instead of £40 :-)  it has gorgeous pastely spots all over it. It also has a big naked back hole which is so cute :-)  it seems to make me look quite hourglass shape :-)
I may borrow dads camera and take more photos later xx
