"You Look Like a Sexy Dinner Lady..."

 Navy and White Shirt - H&M // Blue and White Tennis Skirt - Vintage Elle - Thrifted // Blue Woollen Socks - H&M // White Cut-out Oxfords - New Look // Silver Rings (Selection) - H&M, New Look & Topshop

The first time I wore this skirt I asked Nick what he though of it, to which he so kindly replied, "You look like a sexy dinner lady." Well, dinner lady patterned or not, I adore this skirt. I picked it up in a charity store toward the end of summer and used to team it with a plain white tee and my JuJu Jellies, but as its gotten colder and my need for tights has become absolute, I've been struggling to style it to perfection. 

This Sweater/Shirt/Hybrid monochrome masterpiece, I think, is gorgeous! I've only worn it a handful of times but its one of those pieces that makes me feel so damn classy! I don't know why I didn't realise it before but the two go so well together. I love how the white acts as an accent throughout the outfit. 

What's your favourite thrift?

A Purple Haze

Fluffy Black Sweater - Primark // Dip-hem Digital Print T-shirt Dress - River Island // Gold Socks - Primark // Mock Crock Cut-out Boots - Missguided // Gold Chain - Divided by H&M // Flower Link Bracelet - H&M // Gold Watch - Vintage // Rings (Selection) - New Look, H&M & River Island // Lipstick - Maybelline Super Stay 24hr in 'Always Plum'

I've been lusting after gold socks since the start of summer and I have FINALLY got my mitts on some! They're darker than I'd envisioned but since I've been searching over six months, and they only cost £2.50, it wasn't exactly the moment to be picky! 

Anyway, they look gorge with this dress, which is the perfect winter floral! I think the gold brings out the tiny flecks of yellowy green throughout the dress, which usually just get lost in the pattern. The photo's don't really do it justice, I'm struggling to get the right light consistently. The way my windows are positioned in relativity to the rest of the building means I get about two hours max of natural light, around 11am...

1) It's rare that I'm dressed by 11am.

2) If I do happen to have clothes on by this time, it probably means I'm on my way to Uni.

You can see how this is causing me problems!

I'll keep at it... maybe I can convince Nick to allow me to get those huge photography spotlights! Not likely.
