Outift Post: Pleats and Curls

High Neck Sleeveless Top: New Look (similar in black here) | Pleated Skirt: Primark (similar here) | Tights: H&M | Ankle Boots: H&M

I have been loving long, pleated skirts recently. I seem to have acquired quite a few of them in a variety of colours. I love that they skim past my stomach and I really like the length of this one; as I find it quite a challenge to wear skirts as I am such a short height at a tiny 5'1. The grey ribbed high neck top is simple and is easy to pair up with anything. This is becoming another go - to outfit for me - its so easy and I think you can go casual or formal with an outfit like this.

Recent Fashion Lusts

Chelsea Boots    Messenger Bag   Split Back T-shirt    Print Joggers

I have been spotting so many people rocking paisley prints recently and I really love the look. I think these paisley print joggers would be perfect to wear as you can style them with any colour, or mute the pattern down with black accessories. I think they would look great with this split back top from New Look and the chelsea boots from Topshop. I thought that the three together would make the outfit look comfortable but also smart with the boots. I really love this messenger bag from River Island, I thought it would bring in the colours from the joggers.

Outfit Inspiration: Chic and Comfortable

Grey Stripe Longline Shirt Black Skinny Utility Jeans Clapman Cateye Sunglasses Cream Lace Cross Body Bag

I have been trying to have a more healthy outlook on life since January, and I have lost a little bit of weight meaning I can fit into my old clothes - small victories and all of that. I have been trying to put a little more effort with my outfits too - I still want to stay comfortable in clothes but I want to look professional and slightly more stylish than I was dressing before. I really love the utility jeans from New Look. Utility jeans are great because they are practical, comfortable, but also look quite smart when paired with the right blouse. I think the longline skirt is another practical clothing item which also looks smart too. I love the relaxed look of the jeans and shirt together. I think they are a great casual chic combination that you can easily wear to go out to lunch and run errands in the Day. I thought the cat eye sunglasses added a touch of glamour to the outfit; just the addition of accessories like these sunglasses or the cross body bag make a huge difference to an everyday outfit. I love the style of the bag, which I feel could be used from Day to Night, but I am also  a big fan of cross-body bags as they are really useful when you have your hands full and having a busy Day.

Where do you find your style inspiration? 

All Snuggled Up: A Wishlist for the Duvet Days

I have become quite the fan of snugly dressing-gowns, thick jumpers, cosy socks and the sort in the past few Months. There is nothing more I enjoy than to relax and get in my comfies at the end of the day or to chill in on my Day off. A big cup of tea and a trashy TV show has become so appealing to me now, too. I have been buying some new pyjamas recently, 'cause we all love that new pyjama feeling don't we?! Here are some other cosy bits I have my eye on... 

White Knitted Cow Slippers Painted Spot Print Lounge Pants  Sparkle Fluffy Jumper Hedgehog Cushion Shell Pink Floral Print PJ Set

I love cushions, the more the better for me to relax, and this cute little guy is the sweetest little cushion I ever did see! He definitely wont go with the decor in my bedroom but he looks adorable. 

I had to include something cow related, because I love them! Cows have been my favourite animal for as long as I remember, so of-course these slippers just screamed out at me!
The spotty PJ bottoms look really comfortable but also very sweet. I love anything spotty and these are just adorable. I love loose lounge pyjama bottoms like these. This sparkly jumper from Warehouse is gorgeous, its actually really inexpensive for Warehouse costing just £15. I am loving this cute short set from Inspire at New Look. I love the floral pattern, it looks so comfy and I am in need of some pj shorts I can change into to sleep in when it gets a little warmer.

What is your favourite cosy clothing item?

What I'm Wearing: Floral Bulldog

Flower Bulldog T-shirt - Brat and Suzie*

Floral Headband - New Look
Faux Leather Jacket - Select

Brat and Suzie is a website I am very familiar with. I have been a fan for a while and I absolutely adore this Flower Bulldog T - shirt which I am featuring today. I love the cute bull dog print and the minimal colour, making it perfect to wear with anything. Here I am just wearing jeans and a little leather jacket, but I have since paired it with a skater skirt and layered it over dresses and it works really well.

I think this t - shirt is perfect for Summer: festivals, and holidays! The material is a really good quality and I love that the sleeves are ever-so slightly wide, making it really airy and comfortable to wear. I am usually a little self - conscious of wearing white because I am not the happiest with my own weight, but I feel really comfortable in this as it isn't really thin material.

Have you spotted anything you love on Brat and Suzie recently?
