Stripes & Tie Dye - OOTD

Yet another OOTD. I wore this to work on Tuesday.
Simple face for the work day. Not too much makeup on.

What I Wore: Top - Primark via swap Skirt - New Look Belt - Unknown brand via swap Pumps - Simply Be Cardigan - Primark

This was such a comfortable outfit for work. 

I added my jacket from the swap too for going to and from work.

These pumps are absolutely amazing!

I'm so glad I picked them and 2 other pairs of shoes up from the swap. They're so comfy, and were practically unworn!
 

The brooches on the left are all handmade. 

The top anchor button I made myself, the Own was made by Rebecca, and the Pussycat Cameo was made by Bettie.

 The other buttons I picked up at the swap too, there were loads on one of the "misc" tables, and I swooped up like 80% of them. LOVE EM!
These will all have a permanent place on this cardi!

Quick work OOTD today.

I wore this to work yesterday (Thursday).

 

What I Wore: Dress - Roger&Roger's for Matalan
Leggings - Primark
Creepers - Rocket Dog
Belt - Primark
Cardi - Primark

This dress is actually from Laura. It was advertised on her blog sale, so I nabbed it up as soon as I could. I knew I would see her at some point in the month, but gosh I was so excited to get my body into this dress!
 

I gotta admit, it is a bit of a booby showy dress, and I love that, but I didn't realise how much boob it actually showed, until I was at work.
 

I finished it off with a scarf which I got in Paris, and a hair bow from Claire's.

Thanks Laura, I love this dress!

OOTD - 5 September 2012

Featuring Frock&Frills dress from the Clothes Swap.
Laura actually got this from the last swap, and thank goodness she decided to give it a better home, I love it!

When I first saw the dress at the swap I was so unsure of how I would wear it, and with what. I am not a very dainty lady, so I find it hard to wear dresses that are more ladylike.

Laura took a pic of the dress on for me so I could see it on my body and it looked good on so I figured I would just take it, and if I didn't like it, I would just bring it to the next swap.

After worrying how to wear this dress, I decided to "lisa'fy" it with boots and a belt. 

And it looked great.

I was scared that I would only be able to wear it in a much more ladylike way, but when I put the boots on, I knew I had figured out how I would make it work!

What I Wore:
Dress - Frock&Frill (swap)
Belt - Matalan
Boots - Asda

Ciao for now bellas!

OOTD - 28 August 2012

Featuring Clothes Swap items.



So this skirt is actually a size UK 14, but I kept seeing it on the pile of skirts at the Clothes Swap last weekend, and I was just drawn to it, I saw the size and thought, there is no way its fitting me since ASOS tend to run quite a bit small on their smaller sizes, but I finially picked it up, and the waist band was quite stretchy, so I took the plunge and tried it on and blamo ... it fit =D
It's made out of two layers, a netting underneath, and the top layer of jersey material.
I effing love it!

Lipstick is Colletion 2000 Lasting Colour in #8 Sweet Tart

What I Wore:
 Tan Skirt - Asos
Cream/Nude Top - Primark
Cardigan - George @ ASDA
Leopard print Pumps - Primark
Tan Belt - Matalan
Leopard print Scarf - Poundland



Loving these stretch cami/tank top/tshirts from Primark, they're a bargain at like £2.50 each!

Hair Bow from Peacocks.

PICTURE HEAVY

As I said on my other post, I really wanted to come back with a coat or jacket, but what I came home with was even better than I could have ever anticipated ... a fucking cape!!

There were a lot of dresses and lovely tops which I did want, but they didn't fit or didnt look good on, so I decided to get some cardigans and a knitted top to expand my already massive cardigan collection.
