Another Night Out - Gingham Jeans and Studded Crop Top

Hello everyone! So today's post is on an outfit I wore out recently that is comfortable, edgy and simple. 

As I've said in previous posts, going out on a Saturday after work is interesting as I want to be comfortable after a long, busy shift. In winter this is especially true and so this is one outfit which was ideal for me.

I am a little gothic but love to keep it girly so finding the balance between the two can be difficult. Black is my go to colour all day, everyday but I wanted to break it up a little. So, I opted for my gorgeous Topshop gingham skinny jeans - which I've recently sold on eBay - and a cropped black top with studded shoulder pads. 

The simplicity of the outfit, yet the way each piece stands out is amazing. The jeans make the outfit monochrome, a timeless fashion statement keeping it sophisticated and flattering. Joni jeans from Topshop are my go to high waisted bottoms for those who want to show off curves that aren't normally noticeable and in this print, my figure looks even better (I think). Plus these jeans completely elongate your legs and even at 5ft 9, I love this illusion high waisted items give you.

High waisted jeans and a crop top is the easiest outfit in the world but works every single time. It means only showing a little of your midriff which is more than enough for me on a winter night out! This one has shoulder pads covered in silver spikes (see photo below) which adds my gothic side and means there's no need to worry about accessorising. 

With messy natural hair and nude make-up this look is easy to pull off and at work I don't need to worry about getting ready in 10 minutes once I'm finished, a quick lipstick top up and your ready to go!

Chilled Outfit Post

Morning guys! So this is just a quick outfit post on something I wore last week.

It was a really warm day however I wasn't doing much apart from nipping to Tesco (so much fun). But of course it's still nice to look nice and the main look that's quick and easy to pull off is the skinny jean/baggy tee combo. It's so comfy for lazy days and makes everyone look good!

As you can see from the above and below pictures, I have on the Topshop Joni Jeans in black and white gingham print. This style of jean is so comfy and well fitted that having such an on trend print as well is a mere bonus.
The jumper I'm wearing cost next to nothing from Primark and is a light material so worked perfect for this day as it was pretty warm! I also wanted a plain jumper due to the print on the jeans but something that had a little colour hence its tint of blue.

Definitely one of my favourite outfits for looking good with minimal effort. Add in unbrushed hair (washed, dried and straightened the day prior), some stiletto nails (check previous posts) and red lippy, and your all set to go!

OOTD - beach

So on Sunday I went to the beach and had a day off revision (see previous post) and despite the sun being out it wasn't terribly warm so had to dress cosily but still wanted to be summary! 

I wore my recently purchased gingham print joni jeans from Topshop which were £36 - I also got student discount off my order - and they are just perfect. I've owned a few of these jeans in blue denim and the fit it so perfect, I am a W2632 in Topshop and they fit well but comfortably which is what I need especially when thy are high waisted, I find others are only comfortable until you eat something because they are so tight! But, Topshop's jean's waist is stretchy which makes these great for a variety of settings! 

I teamed my jeans with my Nikki Lipstick 'Property of Salem' crop top which I love to pieces as I am obsessed with American Horror Story! This again is a perfect fit and I had on a black vest underneath but tucked into my jeans as I wasn't up for showing skin. The top is great quality and for an independent designer her stuff is truly unique which is difficult to find and for $20 your getting a complete steal! 

I also wore my little brother Nike Air Max which I bought off him for a tenner as his feet have grown too big for them. Regardless of what anyone says about these trainers, I think they're great. They are comfy, come in 110 different colours and go so well with jeans and leggings. As much as I adore heels and pumps, they just aren't reliable for a day at the beach!

My bag is another Topshop buy from last month and cost me £40. however I did get student discount. I needed a new bag and was sick of black as most of my bags are so went with this light brown. It goes with everything and the gold accents make it look much more expensive. It's a great size - I can fit all my uni stuff in it - and you can use it as a holdall or place over your shoulder! 

My make up is my usual that has been shown on a previous post, I wore no eye-liner nor did I wear false eyelashes but did use Topshop's 'Infra-red' lipstick which is an amazing bright orange colour which added some pop to this outfit!
