Pink Coat

I know I'm about 4 years late but I wanted a pink coat for ages, so when I found this one in Primark for £25 it was a no-brainer, as they say. I've been finding, in my old age, that I opt much more for neutral colours, so it's nice to get a bit of colour in my life in something other than lipstick.

Trainers are another thing that I basically live in. Seriously, if I could wear them to bed like my little brother used to do with his cowboy hat, I would (just joking, shoes in bed would be gross.) Santa brought me a very exciting new pair of Nike's for Christmas and I treated myself to a simple black and white Karrimor pair last week. In total I think I have six pairs of proper trainers and that's not including these Reebok's or Converse or NUTTIN! I have a very real problem but seriously comfortable feet, so, swings and roundabouts.

Layering Cropped Tops

Wow, check my ultimate sad face! Taking blog pictures when you have a sad neutral face is no easy task, let me tell you. Also, I am not currently wearing Birkenstock's, I predictably took these back when socks weren't a necessity.

I'm still enjoying my home made ripped jeans which is lucky because I've ordered about fourteen hundred pairs from ASOS and not a single one fit my Beyonce thighs (Beyonce, LOL).

I've recently re-discovered my love of layering thanks to it not being summer any more and I'm particularly enjoying that concept with cropped tees. I get a bit fed up of having to wear high waisted stuff with cropped tops, so it's a nice change to just stick something longer on underneath.

I love autumn dressing but I hate this in between weather where as soon as you've been walking anywhere for five minutes you've got to lose a layer. First world problems, as the youths would say.

Ripped Jeans & Birkenstocks

It has been mega long since I blogged because back in July I was burgled and my laptop was stolen, woo! All my pictures from the last couple of years were on there and, like an idiot, I had never gotten round to backing them up on Dropbox (do it, people!) As you can imagine I was pretty gutted and it meant finding the money for a replacement laptop as well, hence the huge blogging gap. Anyway, I am back now so you can call of the search, heh heh.

Despite not having blogged in two months, I'm still heavily into monochrome style, particularly when it involves ripped jeans. I bought about a thousand pairs of ripped jeans from ASOS but couldn't find any that fit right, so I decided to rip some old Primark skinnies instead. You know how it is, skinny jeans from Primark gradually get a little loose, especially round the knees so it just made good sense.

I've also jumped on the Birkenstock bandwagon in the last month. I was sold on the comfort-factor everyone bangs on about as I'm off to Greece in a couple of weeks and wanted a pair of sandals that won't leave my feet hurting. They are pretty ugly and I have to be careful what I wear them with to avoid looking like a German granny but overall, I'm pleased with them.
