Vintage re-work dress

The weather is absolutely gorgeous today! I hope it's nice where ever you are too! I hope it stays like this until after all my assignments are in and I can properly enjoy it, I really want a day down the beach. 
I just quickly popped into town today for a few bits and I was boiling! Definitely regret wearing tights today; far too hot.

Dress - Best Vintage (Newcastle) 

This is a vintage re-work dress made out of a man's shirt. It's also a Ralph Lauren one >.<

I love the pastel colours on it. It also has a really nice hemline which is very slightly higher at the sides than at the front and back. It has a button down collar too.

I wish I knew how to make these dresses myself!

My Gran's sister is visiting from Southampton this weekend and we're going for 'afternoon tea' with her on Saturday. I think I might wear this dress again then. Hopefully the weather is still nice by the weekend!

Collective outfit post

Hi, I haven't made a blog post in ages because I've been really busy over Christmas with family things, then I had school placement when I started uni again in January. But I want to get back into it so I'm just going to start off with a collection of outfits and accessories that I've worn recently and liked. I might also include a few other bits and pieces so sorry if this comes out a bit jumbled.

 This is what I wore on New Year's Eve which seems so long ago now! I had a house party with my flatmates at uni because we didn't want to pay ridiculous amounts in town plus it would have been really packed. It was a really good night and I got my New Year's kiss!

Wearing:
Velvet leotard - River Island
White tights - ebay
Frilly socks - Primark
Creepers - ebay
Star necklace - belongs to my Mum

This vintage denim shirt with embroidered Santas is available to buy from my etsy 

Bows Bows Bows

I was really excited because I only recently learnt how to tie a hair bow properly! I love it now and I can finally use this cute vintage scarf with apples on it. It still takes me a few goes to get it right sometimes and it can be really frustrating -.-

Wearing:
Bow - vintage scarf
Pinafore - Primark
Jumper - charity shop

~ Hair ~

Also I dyed my hair back to brown about a month ago and I absolutely love it! I'm so happy that it doesn't get faded and need maintenance all the time like my red hair did. The colour I am now is very close to my natural colour but slightly darker. I used the £2 hair dyes that come in a red box, I can't remember the brand but you can get them at savers and wilkinsons.

I have also mastered the art of the messy bun! This hairband is supposed to be one of those wooly ear-warmers but since the weather is finally starting to get warmer I thought I could re-use it as a general stretch hairband; complete with pompoms.

Pinafores Galore

Since finishing my placement I have been trying really hard not to spend money on clothes because I already have so much stuff that I've hardly worn. However, I popped into Primark a few weeks ago and found these amazing corduroy pinafores in the sale for £5 each! I wasn't sure which colour so I thought it was safest to get both!

Doc Marten shoes

I really like the new Doc Marten shoes that everyone's been wearing recently, but they're so expensive. So I was so happy when I found a version of them in Garage shoes for only £30! I've worn them so much already since I got them; it's definitely been worth it.

How I style them:

Cardigan - charity shop / t-shirt - gig / jeggings - River Island

Spring has sprung!

Finally the weather is starting to improve and it's not pitch black all of the time! It puts me in a much better mood when it gets to this time of year and I can start to wear my summer clothes again! Last weekend I went out for a meal with my Mum and her boyfriend and it was so nice that I even cracked out my sandals!

Wearing:

T-shirt - River Island

Trousers - Tophshop

Sandals - Primark

Thanks for reading! I will try to get back into the swing of posting more often, hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather
