Frills

I am not really a fan of fussy details in clothing so frills isn't usually my thing but when I randomly found this skirt at home I was surprised how much I liked it.  Worn with a simple jumper and trainers its an easy outfit for a spring day. 

I am wearing M&S jumper, skirt found in my loft, DIY bag, TOPSHOP trainers and PRIMARK sunglasses. 

Borrowed From the Boys

A great feature of having this blog is that it has captured my changing style. When I started this blog my style was very much influenced by vintage looks but now and especially in this outfit it's crazy how different it is. Todays look is very much borrowed from the boys with slip on trainers and beanie, something when I started this blog I would never have worn. It makes me wonder what my style will be like this time next year or even 10 years from now, will I still like the minimalist look or will I revert back to a more vintage style... I guess only time will tell.

Wrap Dress and Slip Ons

I never thought I would be the kind of girl to wear these slip on trainer shoes but here I am, I love that this blog has helped me try out new looks and ideas. Another fab thing is this dress which I bought the other day, I must confess I can be a bit of an impulse buyer but I was sensible and waited a few days before buying this. I have a theory that if you see something and you continue to think about it after you've seen it about how to wear it with other things in your wardrobe then its a good purchase. So I am afraid you might see this dress a lot over the winter. Here with a casual spin of leather and flats but I am thinking it will be great with heels as well as a winters coat and boots. 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Pretty Dress with Sporty Trainers

This dress is one of those items which has been sitting in my wardrobe for a couple of months having only worn it once mainly because I haven't really known what to wear it with. I was wanting to casual it down yet modernise it because I think it generally has a more formal look to it. So I thought for a simple summers day what's better than pairing it with a pair of trainers which does both those things. I can't believe how much use I have had out of these trainers since I bought them, I would never have thought they would become such a staple in my wardrobe. 

You are probably thinking why an earth is there a picture of your ear Jade but I just wanted to show you my new piercing. I got it a few weeks ago which is why I am still wearing a stud and I absolutely love it! I cannot wait to play around with different types of earrings and studs when I can change them and of course now I have the excuse to do some more shopping!

I am wearing vintage dress from Beyond Retro, Carvela trainers, sunglasses from Spitalfield market and earrings from accessorize. 

Back To Reality

In my last post I showed you a more glamorous look with this skirt but this look is how I will most likely wear this skirt. As much as I would like to tell you I can run around all day and go to school in 3 inch heels, I don't without regretting it with aching feet. So most days flats are just the better option as much as I love a pair of heels. 

I am wearing New Look t-shirt and skirt, Carvela trainers and Topshop sunglasses.

Trainers Not For Running

Ironic that I have wanted to buy some trainers recently seeing as the only exercise I really do is walking to school as well as the occasional jog (i mean occasional!) but after seeing so many people wandering round in trainers and I mean the cool trainers I wanted to get some of my own. So say hello to the latest addition to my shoe collection... studded and not too sporty!
