SIMPLICITY IS NEXT TO GODLINESS ... WHITE AND GOLD

Trousers - Charity Shop and Reworked / Top - Charity Shop / Necklace - My Own

A pair of white trousers in my opinion should be a staple in any girls wardrobe, just like a LBD or a pair of smashing black boots (but i know we all have those anyway) I picked these tailored pants up from a charity shop in a size 16 and just hand stitched them in at the front to create this pleated look... would you have ever known!? There's a better photo of me in them below from Manchester Vogue Fashion Night Out. Yet again, the top is also from a charity shop. Silver, Gold and Holographic seem to be a key trend this season that not many people are aware of, and when i saw this top and noticed it was paisley print too.. well i had to get it for £3.. who wouldn't. My choker is genuinely a pair of tights cut up and rolled in to a strange with a vintage pendant on it! Shabbang. 

I have had a weekend at home this week with the family, as i was a very lucky girl and got put off work! Never happens by the way! My paps treated me to a beautiful new leather bag which will be featured soon and i also picked myself up some amazing silver heels from Topshop. I've been shopper happy.. too much!

MISSGUIDED LEATHER JOGGER PANTS

Coat - River Island / Joggers - Missguided / Shoes - Topshop (old) / Jumper - Primark / 

Necklace - Topshop

Kanye West sports them so why can't us girls ehy?! These beauty's are a killer statement with any top jacket blazer etc. When i got my student loan these are the first item i purchased, but can you blame me? I saw a few snaps of them at LFW a few weeks ago and fell completely in love, just right for those lazy days where you want to look good, but maybe just want to put something comfy on too. These jogger pants actually go really well styled with holographic strappy sandal heels which can be brought from boohoo, and a silk cami top which are pretty much available everywhere! (An outfit of mine from a few nights ago).

 I was after a new coat for a while, one that would serve me right in the cold but that was also light weight. River Island have done the perfect combination in this tailored white, slightly masculine line version. The zips and lapels give it that biker chick edge too. It's a pain to keep clean but it is worth the sacrifice when something looks this good with any outfit. Grab yours here! 

I wish i could wear this outfit everywhere, even on holiday, but that would be silly. Speaking of holidays, I am in the process of looking for somewhere nice to go. However having a birthday on boxing day proves difficult to get time off from anything, yawn! Now i'm off to my friends after a long day at work, completing a street style interview for university and blogging.. to eat as much pizza, drink as much wine, and watch as many awesome films as we can! 

Happy Evenings guys

I'm on a mission to get somewhere new to shoot my blog, as the cellar is proving quite boring to me now, I'd love to know what you think!!

Dress - Asos (old) / Hat and Shoes - Topshop

First things first, i do not know what the yellow thing is next to the pot, apologies.. haha! ... THIS, is one hell of a dress right? It's one of my all time faves. I got it from Asos last year, sorry peeps :( although i have had a mooch and there are some similar designs on there so get looking!!! I brought it originally for a birthday and it was massive, and i didn't wear it until the other day when i was going through my wardrobe, and now it fits like a glove... so my guess is my sister has had a cheeky borrow and then shrunk it in the wash... 

Anyway, it features lace crochet sleeves that flare out at the end, kind of like bell bottom sleeves, and remind me of the crochet place mats you used to get at your nans! Or is that just me? They're a great contrast to the silk and chiffon body and the cut out in the back. Obviously styled with black... its all i ever wear. 

Happy bank holiday lovlies... Elysia
