Out for the Night - Stuck Between Two!

Hello again :)

So today I'm going to show you two outfit ideas for one top that I was stuck between recently. I have so many going out clothes and love mixing and matching so getting ready is a nightmare as something I forgot I had always catches my eye.

Outfit number one is the cagey style bralet from Topshop which was purchased last year at £25. I'm sure you would find one on eBay or Depop if you had a look though. I hadn't worn this item until this outing and so was determined to put it on as its edgy, flattering and comfortable. I originally paired it with the tartan midi skirt seen below which was also bought from Topshop last year. I don't know the price however similar items can be purchased from other stores at a variety of price ranges. I love a midi skirt as it's sophisticated, elongates your legs and in this pattern, just livens up the outfit. If I had chosen this combination it would have been paired with my silver studded Jeffery Campbell platform heels.

Outfit number two features the same bralet as above, but, paired with high wasited super ripped Ragged Priest jeans. I bought these through Topshop in a size 10 and they cost £55. The size 8 was ridiculously small, I struggled to get them over my thighs but these are a little too big - ironic I know. BUT, with a belt and a fitting top, they look like mom jeans. The rips I love as again they add to the edgy look and the all black means you can go all out with make up. I paired this outfit with black chunky cleated boots.

I chose to wear the jeans and bralet combo because I was working until 10 that night and was not in the mood to walk around a club in huge heels. Midi skirts/dresses in my opinion look a lot better with larger heels and so the jeans meant I could have a low heel comfy boot on. Also, who doesn't love an all black outfit?

Above are a couple of photo's from the night out itself!

I'll be posting my NYE outfit up soon for you all to see so keep your eyes peeled!

Tall Jersey Pleated Skirt from Topshop - Review

Hey guys, so this post is a review on one of my recent purchases from Topshop - the tall jersey pleated skirt.

I love skirts, mainly because they can be worn at any time of year which is what brought me to this one in the first place. It seemed like the material would be warm and grey goes with everything so it would be perfect for uni! 

I decided to go with the one from the 'Tall' section because some of Topshop's skirts can be a little short and considering this was meant for sitting in lecture, it needed to be a suitable length.

It actually came longer than I thought it would and ended up looking better. I am able to wear it high waisted and thus tuck tops/jumpers etc into it (as seen below). The material is stretchy, thicker than typical skirts and very comfy. It reminds me of a school skirt in the sense it's pleated and this just makes it look really smart and even more perfect for university!

It cost £25 for the 'Tall' one whereas the original is £20 however the extra was well worth it as I just feel it looks so much nicer and more sophisticated. It just isn't a type of a skirt that I see as a mini and so having an extra few centimetres added is perfect for me.

I teamed mine with a Primark green V-neck jumper, thick tights and ankle boots for a causal winter look. I added red lipstick to give the outfit a little more colour and with my hair down, I think I looked quite lovely!

So all in all I highly recommend this item, its a perfect item for Winter and can be worn hundreds of different ways that £25 is just such a bargain!

Thanks for reading, I'll be back with another post tomorrow

What I purchased today - Topshop

Hello guys, so today will feature what I've literally just bought off Topshop online. I always tend to use Topshop online simply because they have new items every single day and the Edinburgh store can't keep up! As with most online stores, Topshop always have so much in stock and all sizes, being a size 8, it's always a risk assuming they will have what I want in store.
So I received an email saying I had a 20% off voucher code to use online which expired today. Having already had my eye on a few items I figured I may as well take advantage of the money off seeing as my student discount is only 10%!

The first item I got was the pair of jeans below. All jeans I own are plain blue (different shades) so I figured I'd go for something different and summary. Gingham print is huge this summer and I absolutely love it, its vintage looking and just makes any item 10x cuter and when I saw these jeans I knew I had to get them. White jeans are another popular choice this season however being so pale, I just am unable to pull them off so I feel these are a perfect mix of two current trends. I already have a pair of blue denim Topshop Joni jeans and they are an amazing fit and have a choice for length which I never see any more!

MOTO Gingham Print Joni Jeans - £38

Obviously I couldn't then stop at one gingham print item so just had to purchase this crop top. It is so sweet and perfect for Summer! I adore the pin-up vintage style and this hits the mark with the frills, print and bow so I'm super excited to add this to my wardrobe. Apart from jeans, I don't wear a lot of blue and so this will be something nice and different that can be teamed with a midi circle skirt or high wasted jeans!

Gingham Frill Bralet - £18

As I've just said, I love vintage styles so now that circle skirts are in, I am so happy! Previously when I wanted one I'd have to spend a lot and get one from America which would include a big shipping price. When quality isn't guaranteed I couldn't justify it so now they are the new 'in' item, they can be found everywhere in a variety of price ranges. Being pale, I love pastel colours and I thought that this lilac was so Summery and flattering. This item I'd team with a loose fitting blouse for a night out or a tucked in graphic tea for everyday! 

Texture Gathered Knee Midi Skirt - £45

So, delivery should be no later than Monday coming and so I will be wearing these items when I can (revision is currently making me housebound) and I'll be able to create reviews and outfit ideas! 

Thanks for reading guys!
