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.

Bows for days..

As you can probably tell from most of my posts (both on here, and my instagram -- @georgie_alicee), I'm not generally someone who pays alot of attention to my hair.. I mean, I consider brushing my hair a strenuous task.. clearly..

Anyways, here I present to you both my combat for my issues with hair care and my latest obsession and necessity-HAIR BOWS (I am genuinely excited even talking about them....)

I LOVE how they are so quick and simple yet can competely tie an outfit together; and can bring some sophistication (or just plain cute-ness) to any hair chaos. The way in which I wear them most is using the clip-in bows and I use them to hold front strands of my hair back. The hair bands that have attatched bows I use for half ups, buns and pony tails- the bow along with the different fabrics add another element to an otherwise simple look.

Topshop has an array of 'hairband bows', in different colours and fabrics, including velvet (which we all know I LOVE). 

American Apparel has a large range of clip in bows, but if you don't fancy the price Claire's and Forever21 also have a good selection for a lot less!

^ Top & Middle Left, Claire's £4.50

Bottom Left (& featured right), Forever 21 £3 -ish

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!!
