I don't very often talk fashion on here, but the truth is I love clothes. I don't usually stray from my own personal style, but sometimes new trends I see will inspire a DIY or two. That said, most of my wardrobe isn't handmade (unfortunately, but maybe one day), and like everybody else I love a little retail therapy every now and again. This is the kind of outfit that I'm wearing at the moment.
I'm not the most coordinated of people, but I do love to have at least something matching, without being matchy-matchy overkill. My new favourite is just matching my lips to my nails, or in this case, shoes. I love Seventeen's Stay Pout in Infared - it's a classic matte blue-red that stays put a surprisingly long time (even after eating). These shoes are a recent find - I've been after a pair of mary-janes for a while, and after letting a couple of pairs slip me by on eBay, I came across this charming vintage pair in a local second hand shop for £2. The fashion gods must have been smiling down on me, I guess :)
You'll rarely see me not wearing a necklace of some kind. I like quirky, yet simple pieces that can add a little bit of interest to a plain top. This is one I made myself - do you recognise it? It made an appearance in my post on making jewellery from spoons a while ago. I still keep my eyes peeled for old spoons with unusual decoration, as they make amazing pieces of jewellery.
This skirt is an old fave (I've had it for years and years and years), and it's a style that will never be unfashionable. The pleats are flattering, and polka-dots will forever be chic. This satchel is another lucky second hand shop find, which I bought a couple of years ago. It's actually a rucksack style one, so is great for days where I have to walk more.
I bought the jumper this weekend, in the sale at Primark (double whammy). It's from the men's section, which I always think is better quality and value for money than the ladies section. Grey makes up a large section of my wardrobe, and I'm always still picking up more grey clothes. Most of my jumpers are patterned or textured, so I needed a more plain one to layer with prints. For a mere £5, I couldn't leave this one in store.
Behind the scenes gossip: I took these photos in my onesie. So high fashion of me I know, but my excuse was that it was Sunday. Sundays were made for onesies.
