summer grunge

Hello againnn..

I have another quick ootd for you- this is one of my most worn outfits with (probably) my most worn piece.. This outfit is such a go-to for me, as it looks so put together but it takes seconds to throw on and is so comfortable, layer-able (?) & just trustworthy...hahaha

My dress is from h&m about a year ago, so although you can't get this exact one anymore I always see similar styles in there. 
My tights were from the Accessorize sale a few years ago- I love the tights they have in there, and they are always reduced massively in the sale (this pair was £4 down from £12!) 
My plaid shirt was a present, but I know it came from a vintage shop in Bath...but, I'm pretty sure you can pick up a plaid shirt from any shop these days :)
My shoes were a primark bargain (I think £4..or there abouts) and they are suprisingly comfy as Primark shoes go ..defo worth picking a pair up!

My makeup is my usual everyday eye makeup using the naked3 palette, and i have Revlon's 'mauve it over' from their matte lipstick range on.

crazy trousers

Hola!
I put this look together for an interview- I think its a good mix of standing out, but with a slight touch of formality.. hope you like it and can take some inspiration from it :) 

The trousers are from Tesco (I was just as suprised to find them in there!) and were £16. Although they're a pretty crazy print, because they're monochrome they are still easy to style and don't look TOO over the top.
The top is from H&M and was about £8. I love that it just looks like a plain black top, but then the sleeves are mesh with velvet polkadots. Its suchan effective touch, and jazzes up something that would otherwise be abit plain.
My shoes are patent, black, doc marten look-a-likes by Rocket Dog and I picked them up from TK Maxx for about £20 - a proper bargain!

I finished the look with my James Pringle 'Black Watch' tartan scarf, Dorothy Perkins faux-fur collared leather jacket, a navy bow from Claire's and my standard gold jewellery.

gothic-esque pastels.

hola! I have another look for you.. this is such a simple outfit yet I love the overall look of it-  a bit gothic, a bit grunge, but definetly not too ott!!

my black tube dress (it has capped sleeves) was about £7 from h&m.
my tights were £3 in a topshop sale (the only thing I dislike about these is that they're footless & they ladder SO easily but anyways, they look good..)
my pastel/baby blue crochet cardi was my grandma's ...i think the little glimpse of it that you get helps make this outfit more wearable, and also breaks up the black.
my trusty leather jacket with faux fur collar was £55 from dorothy perkins
my chain was £6 (i think!) in the topshop sale..the flash of pastel pink is different to other chains and ia perfect for adding a touch of.colour
my socks was £2.50 from primark.
my white converse-style flatforms were £15 from ebay.. they are slightly uncomfortable at first as they have a slightly too rounded toe, but its alright! haha

i wore this looks with dark brows, a simple eye (no shadow, thin eyeliner with small flick & a few layers of mascara), vampy lip (revlon's kissable balm stain in 'cruah begun' & topshop's 'inhibition' lipstick) and straight, messy, quiffed hair - simple yet fitting for the look!!
