childs plaid

jumper: gap, skirt: new look (generation 915), shoes: next

As you fellow student may know, it was loan day earlier this week, and of course I may have spent a fair bit on some fabulous new purchases! Included in this spree was this beautiful skirt and these amazing shoes.

The blue version of this jumper was featured in an earlier post, so it's identical to that one bar the colour, extra comfy, it's been washed a fair few times and it's still kept it's shape and size, so no complaints there!

Now, on to the wonderfulness of this skirt, as you can tell by the way I'm gushing, I'm pretty besotted with it. And who can blame me? I've taken to shopping in the Generation 915 collection in New Look, I know it's technically the kiddies section, but come on! A piece this beautiful shouldn't have an age limit, well not to me anyway. And because it's a kids item, the price was a little cheaper than it would have been in the regular adult range, it is so comfy, also very flattering and fits very well, doesn't bunch up and I'm not forever adjusting it, which I've had a problem with mainly with skirts. So I also cannot complain about this one!

And now the best til last I feel, these wonderful shoes, I had a similar pair a few years back from New Look, but unfortunately I wore the hell out of them, and they were unrecognisable after about 3/4 months of wear, so I was determined to find a decent, well made and sturdy pair of flats like this. And hey presto, I found the perfect pair in Next, I hadn't had chance to wear them in before I went out in them today, but to be honest I really didn't need to, these are the comfiest things, and so cute with the entire ensemble.

Loving my easter break, lots of work and lots of family time, couldn't ask for more! Hope everyone's enjoying the break if it's started for you, if not, have a lovely week!

it's an animal thing

dress: topshop, jumper: zara

Ahh, I had the best discovery on the weekend. I visited home to see my new foster brother and I had a wee old rummage around my closet and found about 20 items of clothing that I haven't worn in about 3/4 years! This is a uniform dress from back when I worked for Topshop (Summer 2011) and I bought the jumper to go with it, it's the most adorable outfit ever, and I stopped wearing it when the dress and jumper got too small as I grew up, but now nearly 4 years later it fits again, and it's the cutest little ensemble with my patent black brogues and tights.

The weather has taken an ugly turn again, feels almost like winter again! Too cold and I am a misery for it! Assignments and Practical Assessments are taking over my life at the moment, Easter break this Friday cannot come any quicker! 2 weeks off to regain some sanity!

Hope everyone is having a super week!

a summer change

jumper: oasis, sleeveless shirt: mango, floral trousers: zara

It's finally warmer! Thank goodness, I thought I'd have no time to wear all my summer clothing, but it's around 15/16 degrees, while it's not tropical yet, I'm finally able to leave my sheepskin at home and not be a shivering mess. 

Mother bought this sleeveless shirt for me, apparently mango was having a mega sale and she couldn't contain herself, so she picked me up this, a top for holiday, white jeans, navy shimmery jeans (they sound rank, but they are actually brilliant) and a few other bits and bobs, which I'm sure I'll feature soon. The good old faithful floral trousers make their second appearance, they are so easy and so comfortable I can't not wear them on days like this! 

I hope you're all enjoying this lovely change in weather also!

the gap fit

jumper: gap, trousers: topshop, satchel: river island

Hola kiddies! Now the weather has decided to warm up slightly outfits like this are now okay to wear out with maybe a thin jacket, rather than layer upon layer of vests, jumpers and jackets and looking like a drowned ant! Now I got this jumper from Gap at the Clarkes Shopping Village outlined in my last outfit post! I love it a lot, it worked really well with a collared shirt as a combo as well, and I love that look. 

Now, these trousers are a small love affair of mine, I tried them on a while ago (when they were full price) and they didn't have my size and the 8 I tried on hanged off so I was a bit gutted, but when mother and father visited me and we strolled down Oxford St, I found them, in my size and in the sale for £20 down from £40! So I was chuffed to say the least really! I love their high waisted detail, so I can tuck jumpers or shirts in and also there's never any constant hoiking them up, which is a plus!

This satchel is my best friend at the moment, I seem to have a lot of greens in my outfits recently, so this satchel has been making a fair few appearances. My mum picked this out for me and gave it to me for Christmas, she always seems to pick up little gems for me, so I thank her for that!

When sligtly warmer I wear this without a jacket or anything, and it remains comfortable throughout the day, so I have to say, it's perfect for this time of year.
