Thrift Shirt

I found this shirt ages ago in a charity shop after being inspired by endless Clothes Encounters videos. It's been sat in my drawers for a while before I re-discovered it and re-appreciated it once again. It's such a fugly pattern and colour but it has a great shape and a really defined collar, so I sort of love its ugliness.

Since the whole outfit is quite neutral, I jjj-d it up a bit with the statement necklace and my favey fave purple lipstick. Lipstick is the best.

It's definitely getting into in-betweeny weather with regards to coat wearing. I can guarantee if I leave the house in just a shirt (and trousers, you pervert) I'll be cold but if I wear a coat I will be a sweaty mess. How has anyone in history coped with this very real problem?

Black & Gold

I'm not one to usually go all black, for some reason I forget that all black outfits are a classic. Still, I've managed to break this up a bit with lots of hints of gold because, apparently, I can't buy anything black without a little gold accent. Yes, I'm basically a magpie.

I'm getting really fed up with winter now, the amount of rain we're getting saps me of motivation to sneak out in the minute window of time when it's not Noah's flood going on outside in order to take photos. I am however, still on the hunt for a perfect grey coat and with loads of spring collections hitting the shops already, I feel like my coat of dreams is staying right there.

Neon & Acid Wash Denim

I just happened to be strolling along under the trees, in the sunlight. You know how it is. Does anybody else feel like a damn fool posing for blog photos? Especially when the dog walkers are doing the rounds and their very fluffy dog stops to have a butchers.

This is my second foray into the neon trend. I spotted this skater skirt in H&M while I was shopping this weekend and it was one of those 'don't have time to try it on, I'm gonna make a leap of faith' and you know what? I'm glad I leaped. I've got nothing else like it and I'm looking forward to seeing what else I can clash it with.

The acid wash denim shirt and silky bomber jacket are both weekend buys too. I loved the tone of the shirt and it's interesting because it has a sheer panel at the back. The bomber jacket was my bargain buy reduced to £7! I bought it many sizes too big in order for it to be slouchy, although I think I could probably have scaled it down a bit from a size 20. I was just too excited and picked up the first one I found.

Stripes & Denim

Is anyone else dreaming of summer? It's so bladdy cold at the moment it literally takes me around 14 minutes just to get out of the house. Ironically I really enjoy winter clothes. Layering up and adding in lots of textures in hats, scarves etc while trying to work in my summer clothes to get the most out of my wardrobe. I do really enjoy winter clothes, I just hate being cold. Meh.

I talked about layering in my last post and it seems I was at it again here. Layering a blue chambray dress with a striped jumper feels quite classic, especially with brown accessories. The rest is all a matter of need, snug beanie, faux fur collar and my I-cannot-leave-alone oversized boyfriend jacket.

How are you combating the cold weather?
