Gimme Shelter

You'll have to excuse my outfit post photos as the concept of taking photos of myself is just a bit too much and it shows but I did want to start sharing looks and what not so just bear with me?:)
This is something you will see me in more often than you probably should, short shorts and a giant t shirt. These two items probably make up more than half of my wardrobe and these two are particular favourites.
These are the lighter denim Levi 501's and they are just so soft and comfortable and lovely because I wear them SO often. I did have to size up an inch waist-wise so that I could actually wear them round my waist not my hips (I am abnormally long in the body and legs..) but with a belt, it isn't very noticable.
On to the t shirt; no I will never stop mentioning the fact that I saw the Stones in summer, it was thee best thing ever..(post here). I had to buy this shirt as soon as I saw it but the fit was absolutely horrific. I know this isn't the most flattering fit or whatever but I much prefer it; I just stitched the emblem on to a trusty Fruit of the Loom tee. Paired with my old but still going strong creepers and my new Topshop jumper for warmth, and I'm done.
What do you think?

Boohoo #DRESSMAS

I thought I would enter the Christmas outfit competition that Boohoo are running through their instagram, you simply photograph your favourite Christmas look, it doesn't have to be a Boohoo piece; make sure you are following and tag @boohooofficial and #dressmas. Simple.
This is a dress that some of you may have seen before as it is one of my all time favourites. A vintage piece I picked up from Cow about 4 years ago for my pal Billing's 20's themed birthday. At the time, I don't think I had realised what a gem it was but now, I adore it. It is the sort of thing I can always pull out for a slightly posh night out or a wedding or birthday and know I will feel confident (by my standards) in it. I have to team it with a plain black skirt to retain some dignity but otherwise it pretty much speaks for itself. It is pretty heavy for a dress because of all the beading but it is just such a stunning piece isn't it. Teamed with my trusty Topshop shoe boots that make me about 6'5" and also only come out for special occasions, it makes the perfect Christmas outfit for lil ol' me.

What do you think? What would be your Christmas outfit?

More Charity Shop Gold

I was in need of a little retail therapy the other day but as I'm am very short of pennies, I hit up a few charity shops and they really delivered! Firstly, a cute floral vest which will go with anything, a whole £1.95. Then a new leather handbag, big enough for me to lug around my camera and all the other crap I insist I "need". Finally, for eight whole pounds, this beautiful wool blend, oversized blazer style coat!! I love this style of coat but never dreamed I would be able to afford one as all the nicest ones are pushing £80 or something. This is exactly what I wanted, monochrome, with pockets for chilly fingers, well lined and warm. What more could a girl ask for!
