You always take it further than I ever can.

OOTD #11

Hi everyone, operation OOTD had to be moved inside for this one, whatever happened to that lovely sun?!

So basically, I had an interview on Tuesday for my work experience, which didn't actually end up happening, so that was quite annoying, but I still like what I wore! 

Shirt- River island

Skirt-Miss selfridge

Tights-Tesco

Shoes-M&S

I bought this shirt in the Christmas sales last year because I just couldn't resist the sweet print, look at it!

How cute are the little cats?! I also adore the pale blue colour and the detail on the collar. I think it's nice and smart without being dull :)This skirt is a really essential in my wardrobe, I couldn't live without it!

Of course my watch was also firmly on my wrist!

My make up was pretty standard for me, I didn't want to go two over the top. My eyes look weirdly green in this picture as well :p. 

 Although this trip was a bit wasted on the whole interview front, I did buy a few make up bits and I found some shoes for the wedding, all of which will be revealed later on in the week :) 

What do you think of my outfit?

OOTD #2

Hello all!

 If you live in the UK, you will know that yesterday was Red Nose day! for most people of my age, this means raising some cash for this amazing cause, and one of the best ways to do it is buy wearing what you want for school, and bringing in a donation. So... seen as my school is always non- uniform, but with a strict dress -code, I thought I would take full advantage buy wearing all the things I'm not normally allowed to wear! 

Anyway, onto my outfit:

Sorry about how gross my hair looks( I just got out of the rain!)

Denim shirt- River island

T-shirt- Zara

Disco pants- Misguided

Socks - M&S

Converse- Schuh

I love this t-shirt; I like the colours and the motif in general really! I bought it a size up, so its quite over sized, but that's how I wanted it :). It was also a total bargain, this beaut was £3.99, reduced from £16.99! I always think its worth having a look in the sale section in Zara.

I wear these disco pants a lot, and hopefully I'm getting a proper pair ( not the AA ones, but a pair with the pockets and a zip) so i'll be waering them even more!

 

My denim shirt was also a little sale item, I bought this after Christmas; it was half price, £20, down from £40 :) I had my parka on over this as well. I wanted to take theses shots outside, but it was pouring :(

Necklace- Republic



Earrings- primark

I decided to keep my jewelry quite simple for this outfit. I have quite a collection of crucifix necklaces now, and I love the turquoise colour of this one. Ive just got a simple pair of studs (in both respects!) for my earrings, nice and simple :)

I wore my trusty converse as well, I honestly think these are the comfiest brand of shoes ever! I thought I would wear socks with stars on, just to match my T-shirt :p I also wore my little DIY anklet as well.

I didn't have time to put much make up on this morning, But I did my eyeliner and applied Topshop `Brighten Rock` to my lips, I think its the perfect neon pink :)

Obviously I'm not wearing any red *Slaps wrists*, but I did have a red nose..

I did like my little dinosaur. 

As a class, we raised £85.30 for this fantastic charity., which I thought was pretty good, considering we normally have a measly £12 or something! I'm going to the theatre tonight with my family, I have no idea what to wear!

How did you spend your Red Nose day?

A little bit of vintage: Mini haul

Last weekend at my local shopping centre, they had a really lovely vintage fair on, so me and my family went to have a little look-see. I wasn't really expecting to find anything, but I think I found some gems!

My sister spotted this dress on one of the rails, I fell in love!

Its originally M&S, its got a really old label, which for some reason I think is really cute!( strange I know)

 I love the print and the style of it. I know it looks really shapeless on the hanger, but I'm going to pair it with a little belt at the waist, which I think looks lovely. Shirt dresses are actually quite on trend for this spring summer as well, so I thought this was great as a piece to have in my wardrobe for those warmer(!) months. It was also a bargain at twelve pounds. Some vintage places can be really pricey, but these lady's stall was very reasonable!

I plan to wear this with long socks and brogues (outfit post to come!) 

The other item I picked up was this gorgeous plumb coloured shirt. 

(Sorry about the quality of this shot, my camera would not focus!)

I'm a real lover of shirts, and what drew me to this one was the material: It's a really unique silky/ velvetyfabric, which I've never seen before, but I really love! I have already worn this to school with disco pants and khaki Nike blazers, but I can imagine it would look lovely with skirts and blue jeans too. It also has shoulders pads, which I would never normally go for, but its always fun to experiment!

So they were my little finds, I love that you never quite know what to expect when shopping for vintage!

Do you have any vintage favourites? What was your best find?
