Something…simple

Coat: Primark   Jumper: H&M   Jeans: H&M   Plimsols: Office   Bag: Primark   Necklace: Primark

You know when you just have one of those days?! Ones that you wish you could just rewind? Up till this afternoon was feeling quite pleased with myself, sorted a load of jobs out, went shopping and got most of the Christmas presents I wanted, was loving this outfit (is basic but feels good) and then only went and dented all the side of my car in :( (hence why I am not smiling greatly in these photos!!!)

As my mum said though (when I rang her straight after in a mixture of sobs and swearing!), "at least you/anyone wasn't hurt, it's only a possession!" And it's true, it's hard to take sometimes when something you own gets damaged (mainly coz I feel pretty stupid about it all, no comments about women drivers please!) but when you and the people you love are ok you just have to look at the bigger picture! 

Texture…and print

OMG how much do I love this jumper! Possibly the softest thing I have ever worn, can't help but stroke it (which looks a bit weird sometimes when I'm just walking down the street!). Need to try and glam it up a bit though, maybe with a leather skirt and some ankle boots for the now autumn feeling?

I've said before how much I quite like this time of year, when you can break out jumpers and wrap up a bit more (maybe with someone!) but it does feel kind of like the calm before the storm, when you have gone past the crazy days of summer and now just waiting for the festivities of Christmas. That and my birthday, eeee!!! 

If I…could

So, unfortunately, I didn't get down to London this LFW. Am currently sat looking at the £10 left in my purse and wondering how I can make this last till payday?! My fault, choice of going for some sun this week instead! Definitely want to go in February then, just for a chance to get some street style snaps as I think is some of the best style you see from all the fashion weeks (not being biased at all in any way!). 

Been having a look through some of the street snaps and shall post up some of my faves soon, in the meantime this was something I thought of wearing down if I did go, shall do a couple more posts this week with some other options I might have gone with too. DO love these shoes but knowing me would probably have opted for some ankle boots in the end instead (I know am a wimp!). Currently sat getting ready to watch the Topshop Unique show, watch it live here, too!

So…that's it!

Dress: Primark   Boots: Primark   Watch: River Island   Sunglasses: H&M

So that's it! Have done my august challenge of posting an outfit each day! Although I haven't been able to get to my actual laptop some days have managed to get up some photos in some way and has proven to myself that if I put my mind to it, I can do it! It was kind of a silly challenge for this but more of a way to push me into doing something, rather than just thinking 'oh I'll just do it tomorrow'! 

I have had some great responses and thanks to all for the likes/retweets/hypes from this, has meant a lot! Love getting feedback from people that have looked at the blog/pics so please keep leaving (not too harsh though please!!! haha). I also want to say a big thanks to my enduring mum and sister, who are the bods behind the camera, and willing to help every time I keep pestering them! And to the nephew, who is mainly the one making me smile in most of them! Lots of love to everyone and keep checking in for more photos soon! x

Day…twenty seven

T-shirt: Primark   Trousers: River Island   Shoes: Topshop   Watch: River Island

Ok am playing catch up with proper photos for the last few outfits so expect a few in a row! I think these are potentially my most favourite shoes - for comfiness and niceness - but never really wear them, something good from the challenge this month has meant have worn lot more of my heels!

Day…twenty six

Dress: Primark   Boots: Primark   Watch: River Island

Oh I really need to get out of the black and white at the moment, but not one to usually go for a girly dress and print I did like the simplicity of this one! Again a 3/4 sleeve is good for the change in season at the moment too!

Day…twenty one

Shirt: Primark   Jeans: H&M   Necklace: Vintage

Chilled one today as just want to crash out right now! The necklace is actually one of my Nans, she had so much jewellery that I wanted to dress up in when I was a kid. This tassel one I remember her wearing all the time and has come back round again at the moment!

Day…twenty

Shirt: Topshop   Jeans: Primark   Mules: Primark

So this is another blatant outfit steal, from one of my favourite bloggers, Sandra Hagelstam at 5inchandup.blogspot.co.uk. See the image below! Mules are one of the weird trends that I never thought I'd buy into, like Birkenstocks and cleated sole shoes (just don't get it) but when saw these Primark ones that were so similar to her Gianvito Rossi ones that I had to get them, turns out they are ridiculously comfortable too!

Also found these jeans in Primark last week, have been thinking about getting some similar ones from Topshop, here, which you can get in a variety of tones but then these at a fraction of the price seemed like a better idea (particularly after this hectic month!)
