UPDATING THE OLD DRESSES

Dress - Topshop (old) / Bag - Accessorize / Boots - Topshop / Bracelets - Ebay and h&m

This dress is ridiculously old, but you know you can always style the same kinda outfit the same anyways :) I was going through my wardrobe as it definitely needs sorting out, i have so much in there its a joke, a lot of it is years old too and there is no chance of me wearing any of the pieces or fitting in to them!!!

This is my favouriteeee bag ever! My dad brought it me about 3 years ago but accessorize always have beaded embroidered little bags like this perfect for slouching over your shoulder to give a pop to any outfit! Its also in good shape still, which is surprising because i bulk it out stupidly when I'm getting ready at a friends. I have been home this weekend, again, planning things for my paps birthday and shopping again, brought some super black shoes from River Island in the sale. And i'm a size 4 so i get all the good picks.. (i fit in to a size 3 in the pair i brought....) It's been noticed that my feet are shrinking over the years, anyway its Monday tomorrow i know how you all feel.

PAISLEY BOHEMIAN DREAM DRESS

Dress - Chairty Shop / Boots - Topshop / Cuff - Carboot / Necklace - Homemade

Yet again the cat sneaked in to the living room and managed to photo bomb at least one photo... the others he was kinda looking at me like 'what the hell is she doing...' 

This is my favourite most recent charity shop purchase, it's quite mahoosive but its a dream to wear!! The paisley print in pink and purple is perfect for summer going in to a/w too. Paired it with some grungey lil boots from topshop, quite a casual look i think for the day. Last night i rolled the dress up and tied it at one side asymmetrically with a bobble and wore it with my ripped up old black skinnies... it works! I picked up this great cuff from a carboot last week too, engraved with aztec navajo patterns on it, it goes perf with my homemade choker, yet again made from my boyfriends inherited pendants. The colours tie in with the dress too i think! 

Its getting a bit chilly now isn't it guys, so i think i'd have to put a little shawl on with this or an over sized blazer to keep me from dying a cold (i'm always cold, even when the heating is on). Honestly, i wore my big black fur French Connection coat, because its like wearing a big hug :)

Navajo Gypsy Maxi

Dress - Charity Shop / Shoes - Topshop / Bracelets - h&m and eBay

This was one of my amazing finds from the charity shop haul the other day. The pattern just stood out to me straight away as i love anything and everything Navajo, perfect for summer days and holidays being light silk material n all!! And obviously the floaty sleeves and hem line make it extremely comfortable.

I kept the dress on for the BBQ i went to that night, and i got a lot of compliments on it! It's a slightly bigger size than i usually purchase but for this style i think it works. My plans were to alter it so it was more fitted around my waist however once i had tried it on, i changed my mind. The elastic band around the mid-drift doesn't sit too tightly then. I hope your not getting too bored of seeing these boots yet, i do have more than one pair i promise! I just love them too much, my little Topshop specials. 

I picked up a small Navajo style bracelet too from h&m to go with my cuff that i had purchased off eBay already. Coincidentally matching the turquoise colour included in the print of this dress. You could put any jewellery with this though because its so vibrant. I thought gold cuffs would work too with a small pair of tan sandals.

Velvet Obsession

Cover Up - Charity shop / Shorts - New Look (old) / Belt, Shoes and Hat - Topshop / 
Necklace - Primark

I've been slacking at blogging lately, its been difficult to try to find a day where i'm not going to get soaked in all my new lovely clothes! So i apologise guys! It will be WAY more regular now! :)

I went on a charity shop haul the other day and one thing i literally grabbed as soon as i laid eyes on it from a few meters away was this magical purple velvet cover up. Its a little large, but that's the way i like them. It so perfect for this time of year too, end of summer taking me into the autumn. It came with shoulder pads initially and all i did was take them out carefully and it fit like a dream afterwards!

Ive paired it with some little denim shorts and a black crop, simple but effective, or less is more, whatever you want to call it. I added my jewellery, the cuff is from eBay and obviously (the not boring yet) grunge boots from topshop to create a whole bohemian bad girl outfit. Pretty much perfect for ANY festival too, my sisters has buggered off to V this morning and to be fair i wish i was going, because this would be my ideal outfit! Maybe with wellies though, its a tad wet. 

This belt is my absolute fave too, i wear it with pretty much everything that requires a belt, i picked it up from topshop about a month ago and been obsessed every since.

Little tip, add a fedora hat to any outfit and bam, you've got bohemian. I love mine!

So while my sister and everybody else is there today, im going to nip in the garden and do some more blogging in some of my new pieces from the charity shop haul i did in the week, some great stuff!!
