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.

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.

OOTN: Cocktails With The Girls

Jumper: F&F at Tesco

Jeggings: New Look

Heeled Boots: Next

Last night me and my girl friends headed off to TGI Fridays to celebrate one of our pals birthdays. I have only ever been to TGI's once before but it was delicious just as last time! I opted for a Canadian Burger like last time, which was yummy yummy. We had a fab night and ended the night in town, very unplanned and I felt a bit out of place with what I was wearing (hehe) but was a great night. 

I bought the jeggings in the day when I spent the day with lovely fellow blogger and friend Clare, along with a few other bits which I shall share with you soon! We had a great day shopping and Starbucks off course :)

Heres a photo of us yesterday :) doesn't Clare look lovely, she just had make up done in MAC :)

How was your weekend? 

Hope it was a great one!
