tartan scarf / LDN

Hello,

I have another quick OOTD for you - It was a travelling outfit as I had to come to london for a few days, very casual, simple, grungey and lacking colour - all standard for me! 

  My makeup is just my everyday makeup of darkened/thickened brows (using Sleek's brow kit in dark), a white/champagne eyeshadow of some sort all over the lid, with a darker (but still fairly neutral) colour on the outer third & crease, winged eyeliner, mascara & a tonal/minimalistic lipstick. 

a/n. although not pictured, with this outfit I wore black patent doc marten look-a-likes from Rocket Dog, that I got for £20 from Tk Maxx (if real Docs are a little out of your price range, seriously recommend checking out these dupes..SO comfortable, and you don't have to break them in).

The black dress, is actually a large men's DKNY (possibly pyjama) top that I got for £12 from TK Maxx.

My tartan scarf is James Pringle in the 'Black Watch' tartan, that came from ebay (apologies for not knowing the price- was an xmas pressie!)

My gold chain was £12 (I think) from Topshop, and the black/gold heart necklace was £5-ish from Accessorize.

My trusty faux-fur collared leather jacket, was £50 (or so) from Dorothy Perkins.

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!
