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.

Outfit Post: Simple Things

T Shirt : Primark | Skinny Jeans: New Look | Bib Necklace: Dorothy Perkins | Pumps: DC

Hi everyone, its only me back with an outfit post! I know, it has been such a long time. I never felt confident enough to post pictures of myself for all to see - I was always a little bit nervous as I have always been very insecure about my body shape and features. Since the start of the year, I have been working really hard on my confidence and have made quite small changes in my life which have impacted my life and the way I feel in a very big way. For starters, I have lost over two stone in weight, which has done wonders for not only my confidence but my health too. 

This outfit is a go-to look for me now - black skinnies, a plain t-shirt and trainers, paired with a statement necklace. It is so easy. I used to struggle planning outfits and rarely left the house wearing jeans - I think I have finally found the confidence to wear whatever I want and not care what anyone thinks - definitely my mantra from now on! 

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?

What I'm Wearing: Polka Dot Smart Feat. The City Rack

Black Polka Dot Shirt*: The City Rack
Vest: H&M
Skirt: New Look          

I absolutely love this shirt. I adore the monochrome black and white with the spots. I love the addition of spots or stripes to an outfit, I feel it really lifts the outfit and it looks more interesting. I really like the 50s feel I get when I wear it!
Apologies on my squinted eyes... I have hay - fever so my eyes are quite a bit sensitive at the minute.

I love the wide collar and the sweet pocket features. Probably my favourite feature of the shirt is the white buttons. I love that they are white and not just black, I think it looks great. 

The shirt is really good quality and very true to size. I picked it in a size smaller so I could wear it tucked into a skirt or trousers or wear it open with a simple vest underneath. I wanted it to look a little more fitted, so it looks really smart. I also think it would look great casually teamed with a pair of jeans.I love the understated look this shirt gives to the outfit.

This shirt is available from The City Rack.

Outfit of The Day: Beau Boutique Black and White Dolly Dress

Black and White Dolly Dress

Dress: Beau Boutique*

Bracelet: Accessorize

Jelly Shoes: Primark

Leggings: Primark

Boots: New Look

Satchel: Dr. Martens

I absolutely love this dress from Beau Boutique. I adore stripes and monochrome colours so this dress is a dream come true for me!

The stripes are really complimenting for me as I find them quite slimming, especially as they change direction from the torso. I feel that the horizontal lines on the top half of the dress help to elongate my body, and as I am a tiny 5"1, I love finding dresses that make me appear a little more taller! 

I love the peter pan collar on the dress, it looks so adorable and makes the dress look even more feminine.  This dress is from Beau Boutique and currently costs just £14*, which I think is fantastic value for money for a dress as beautiful as this.

I decided to go for two different looks when styling this dress. As you can see in the first image, I am wearing my hair in a messy bun, and have added a bracelet and jelly shoes with the dress. I thought this would make a simple outfit on Holiday to either wear in the day time or to go out in at night.
For the next outfit, I opted for my go - to leggings. I also added some simple black boots from New Look and my mini satchel bag from Dr Martens. I think this outfit would be ideal for pretty much anything really; be it shopping, a date, or a girly lunch.

Outift of The Day: Teddy Girl - Featuring Joe Browns

Joe Browns is a clothing, accessories and gift catalogue and online clothing store which was founded in 1998, and is available across the UK. They stock quirky and original pieces that can not be found on the high street. I was recently contacted by Joe Browns to see if I wanted to try out some of their clothing - off course I jumped at the chance!

Dungaree Shorts*: Joe Browns | Peter Pan Collar Top in Mint Green - Primark | Black Leggings New Look | Floral Pumps* - Joe Browns | Earrings - New Look

I teamed up these lovely dungaree shorts and floral pumps from Joe Browns with a cute, mint green and white spotty top from Primark with a peter pan collar. I love how the collar looks against the dungarees! I tried to go for a bit of a teddy girl look, although I know some of the outfit looks more 90's than 50's, I still love it. 

The ripped short dungarees feel of such a good quality, I adore them. I opted for dungaree shorts as I thought they would be great for the Summer Months - and when it gets a little colder they will look great with a pair of thick tights or leggings underneath them. They are incredibly comfortable and look lovely on. I love the little details on the dungaree shorts, such as the embellished buttons with the Joe Browns logo, and also the cute hang over pocket material is floral and pretty. I have had great feedback from wearing these - I have had people compliment and ask where I got them from, and of - course I proudly told them they are from Joe Browns! The dungarees cost £34.95; which I think is really reasonable for jean dungaree shorts, that are really popular at the moment. 

I absolutely love these cute little fabulous floral pumps. They are perfect for the warmer Months and they look so sweet and pretty. The sequin texture on the pumps make them stand out from other patterned pumps I have seen on the high street. I love the pattern and the colours on the pumps, too. They are so comfortable, and very true to size.  The price of these shoes is £22.95* which I think is a great price for sturdy little pumps that are easy on the eye!

Joe Browns delivery was super quick, I was so impressed. My items arrived packaged nicely in a bright blue package with the Joe Browns Logo on the front - I personally love when brands package their products well and put a lot of detail into it - it shows a lot of effort is made.

I would definitely purchase from Joe Browns in the future, as the products are such great quality and they stock some quirky pieces I haven't seen on the high street. I feel that Joe Browns meets my needs as a young female - being able to find distinctive, unique and different clothing items that I can not find on the high street, for a very reasonable price.

What I Wore Today: White Lace

What I Wore Today

Half Sleeve Lace Top, Bonmarche*
Floral Skirt, Primark
Boots, New Look

I love anything lace as I find it is very feminine and girly. I spotted this beautiful ivory lace top which is new in at Bonmarche. I find it difficult looking for pretty tops which will go with anything in my wardrobe, but Bonmarche have a fantastic range of tops (you can find them all here) which are very pretty and would look great with pretty much anything. I have teamed it up with a simple floral skirt and some boots, for quite a casual look. I think this top is very versatile, and would look gorgeous with a leather jacket and jeans for a more edgy twist with the lace; great for a night out, and also with a pastel cardigan and neutral skirt which I think would look lovely in the day time.
