monochrome midi ootd

hola, another quick ootd! I like this look because it looks chic and elegant, but also casual and edgy- my perfect combination!!
   I think this look would look good with a topknot, but i felt like messy-straight-alexa-chung-esque hair today.. I also paired this look with simple winged eye makeup & then a bold coral lip (Revlon's 'Kiss Me Coral') & a bright orange/coral nailpolish (cant remember the brand but was only 99p from bodycare!!- if you want to know what it was comment & i'll find out for you)

My striped midi dress is from new look (£12.99....or there abouts). I love how the simple monochrome stripes can make an outfit so much more interesting, as well as the slight turtle-neck collar.
   My cream jumper with the studded detailing on the shoulder was £25 in the topshop sale.. it is a good thickness & hangs perfectly.
   My socks were £2.50 from primark and oh my gosh they are so soft and warm and cute!!! (Obviously, you could wear tights also, but it was a bit warmer today & I just couldn't be bothered with the faff!)
   My leather jacket which you've all seen before was £55 from dotty p's- it's such a versatile piece and was one of my best investments.
   I paired my oxblood docs with this look as they keep my feet warm, and just look amazing with everything..basically..

Hope you like this outfit and can take some inspiration from it! xxx

burgundy bodycon ootd

Holaaaa, as exams are over I intend to get back into the routine of blogging, starting with a quick ootd :)

My jumper is primark mens- there was a thick elastic band at the bottom but i gave that the chop! (i think it was £7)

My leather jacket with faux-fur collar is from dorothy perkins (£55. but i got 15% student discount, boom)

My skirt is from primark & i loved the ribbed/textured detailing on it..its also fairly thick material which is always good! (£3-4)

I'm a sucker for patterned tights anyway, but I adore this pair! Although they're 'hole-y' for me they haven't laddered nor got any extra holes in! (I think i got them for £1.50 from a charity shop near my gramps)

My shoes are my leopard print creepers from newlook. I hated creepers with a passion but I've grown to love them! (£10, new look sale)

My socks are the famous topshop ankle,frilly jobs. I love the look of the 'tough' shoes with a cute, girly pair of socks. I also love the slight hint of khaki with this look. especially next to the leopard print (Topshop £3.50 or 3 for £8)

My sheer shirt is from topshop and i was drawn to the detailing on the collar- a simple but effective was to bring an outfit together (£36..i think haha)
