So 90s.

Ah the 90s! This outfit makes me so happy I can't even explain!! :D It's so fun!

In my last post I mentioned my trip to Holt with my family, where I managed to pick up the super pretty floral dress, well I also picked up these Denim stripy dungarees! They cost me £3.60 and are brightening up this outfit nicely. They are originally primark but that doesn't mean I like them any less. I still saved money, they are still nice, and the great thing about primark is that it copies all the latest fashions which are waaay more expensive in other shops, clever! 

I think these are from last Summer because I remember trying some on but they didn't fit quite right.. they were a bit baggy on my bum and didn't look attractive but these fit perfect! And I looooove the colour! I have teamed them with a plain white top from primark, and the jelly shoes are back which make this outfit even more 90s!! Just need the sun to come out now :P

Yes we have an easter tree.. I don't know if this a normal thing to do every year... or if my family are just weird?? :s hahaha.

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 :)

Quick post with some haul updates.

So I have been really lucky recently and have found LOADS at charity shops and have a huge post to do, but have been really busy so am going to try and do it Wednesday next week but I styled some of the items quickly the other day so thought I would put up some of the photos I took when I styled them :)

Thought I would style my new checked shirt from a charity shop, originally George with my new dog tooth flatforms from ebay :) Loving patterns atm! This shirt is super comfy, I am pree much living in it! It's a size 18 but I don't think it actually is... it's really nice and baggy and soft :)

Ooh change of scenery.. out in the ugly bit of the garden haha.

Wearing my new cut off trousers from a charity shop originally love label and a black blazer also from a charity shop, originally George. Super love this trousers!! espescially with heels for a cute sophisticated look. and I have been looking for a black blazer for ages and this one is so soft and silk like :)

So I took this pic to test my camera as I filmed a quick haul video with all my charityshop stuff, you can see the big pile next to me!! 

Right so a bit of a random post today, sorry about that! Now I'm away for the weekend so will post on Wednesday :) xxx

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!

Patterns and colour. Charity shop haul!

Today is my day off this week and it is also my Mum and Dad's day off too which is really exciting because we hardly ever get a day together all 3 of us so we decided to go to Sheringham which is a nearby seaside town :) I thought it would give me chance to get some charity shop bits and it did! It has about 6 charity shops I think, and some were full of loads of goodies! My parents did well in them! Getting shoes, jeans, hat, gloves, jacket, and a shirt!
I was pretty impressed with my purchases too!

I got:
1 tweed like blazer originally from H&M for £4.95
1 patterned woolen scarf for £1.99
1 patterned silk like scarf for £2.00
1 blue jumper from F&F for £4.99

I find charity shops a good way to make risks with clothing, buying things you wouldn't normally buy! I always look at other people in tweed and I think it looks gorgeous but I would never have got a tweed patterned blazer full price I don't think, but this way I figured if I didn't like it, it was less than a fiver, and I gave to charity but I do like it! It's a size above what I usually am so I can layer under it if I choose :) It also has elbow patches which are cute, and really adds to the posh factor...

The scarf I picked up is really cute too. Tartan and checked patterns are really in atm and I have a tartan scarf but it's not woolen and it's quite long! I have been after a short one that I don't have to wrap around, for quite a while and this one is the perfect length and also goes with my blazer!

I have a bit of an obsession with scarves and have quite a few! I really need to start wearing them all.. I just get excited about the patterns and saw this one and thought it was super duper cute and the colours are lovely, I also like how the main colour is white as I have quite a few dark ones!


The last thing I picked up was the blue jumper in the photo! It's woolen and super soft and really comfortable, I like it with just leggings because it's kind of a thrown on outfit but because of the colour and texture it's like you have made more effort than you have! The scarf also looks super cute with it! What a comfy purchase :)

More photos...

What a good day :) xx

3 things

I am going to write about 3 things in this post, I haven't done a big post in a while :-)

Number 1: my theatre oufit
I went to the theatre the other night with my mum and sister to see the calender girls, it was very good, I haven't seen the film and have decided I have to! The picture shows what I wore.
My spotty primark blouse which I cut the sleeves off, newlook purple jeans, primark blazer and pumps, newlook pearl and cross necklace :-)  I am loving shirts with these jeans atm.

Number 2: loveheart nails
I decided I would try some nailart the other evenibg even though I usually fail and get really stressed out! These worked surprisingly well! I used a white and then a nice coral colour on top. I actually used the bottom of a birthday candle to do the hearts.. the spikey bit that goes in the cake... weird I know but was thin enough, anywsy I love these and am def going to do it again :-)

Number 3: new clothes rail
As I have recently moved back home I have aloooooootttttttt of stuff that doesn't fit in my room so I did a massive room sort out and decided to put a clothes rail made out of a curtain pole in there, it means all my mostly worn clothes can be on show! And I can keep other things in my wardrobe :-)
