OOTD: December 1st 2012

Simple Monochrome

Hello all!^^

So first things first, I am so sorry that I haven't posted in such a long time! With mock exams, my birthday, my dance group and various other things, I just don't know where the time has gone. Anyway, enough with the excuses - I actually took these pictures about 3 weeks ago, but I can't remember the date so I'll just label it for today xD

Lace top - Gift
Skater skirt - New Look
Cardigan - Independent store
Tights - Primark
Necklace - River Island

I received this lace top as a gift from my godmother in America, and I love it so much! It's lace, for one, but I also think that the cut and shape is very flattering. It has an extremely low back, which is slightly uncomfortable, but it's unusual and it's also a great piece for layering. 

Here's a better view of the actual
pattern :)

I've had the skirt for a while now and I love it. My waist is unusually high so I often find it hard to find a skirt that I can wear on my waist without it being too short. This skirt was from the Tall section at New Look, so it's a little longer than regular skater skirts, which is great for me! I wanted to achieve a pared-down look, so I kept with the monochrome theme by wearing a standard white cable-knit and some black tights. I chucked on my trusty genie lamp necklace for a little bit of change and that was my outfit!

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed^^

OOTD-July 7th 2012

Hello^^

So, today I'm stuck inside all day, doing all the homework that I've been putting off (yay for procrastination!), which means I don't really have to bother with dressing up. But anyhow, I felt like delaying the homework a little more and doing this, so here you go.

I've gone for the top and cardigan combo. I've had the top for a while, it's from the Generation 915 section of New Look. It isn't the best quality but it's good for a relaxed look, and it's a little embellished which means there's less need for accessories! (Three cheers for being lazy with clothes! xD)

The cardigan was a present from my mum, I think it's from Store 21 (which is now something else I think?) It's a little damaged but you can't tell. It's so comfy and the florals are really pretty :3 I've also got bog standard skinny jeans on, and cream socks (yay for socks!).
