OOTD and a birthday gift!

Evening lovelies! So I thought I'd do another OOTD post as it features a gift I got for my birthday! A few presents I received early due to my University trip and the cardigan in the photos below is one of them.

I'm a big fan of layering especially in the winter so love cute cardigans! They can often be expensive unless you let the quality suffer which in winter is a big risk. I often buy mine from Primark but they are merely for sitting in uni lectures so low quality doesn't affect me much. I prefer to spend more money on coats and jumpers!
However I was pleasantly surprised when I opened my gift from one of my aunties and saw this! It's a cream patterned piece and is incredibly soft. The colour means it goes with everything and the lace detailing in the back means it works well for nights out too! The length varies, its normal length at the back but the front parts are longer making it look even more unique.
Unfortunately it is a one off item from a boutique in England so I do not know the name of the store but just had to feature it as its so pretty and not me but I still love it!
In the pictures below I styled the cardigan with navy leggings (Topshop), a black silk cami top (River Island) and black leather ankle boots also from River Island.



Of course I also had to take some close up face only selies! My hair was annoying me so I stuck it up in a high ponytail, done my usual make up routine and added one of my favourites - MAC's rubywoo lipstick. It dries to a perfect matte, lasts all day, doesn't bleed and is the perfect shade!
You can also see in the photos below that I am wearing a Swarovski necklace which I was given as an 18th birthday gift. I wear it whenever I can as it's subtle, goes with everything and well, everyone loves crystals!

















Anyways guys thanks for reading, I'll be back with another post soon!
