Outfit Post 13/3/13

So today was my niece's confirmation today,which of course meant I had to wear something nice. Couldn't stroll up to the church in my pj's after all. So I decided to wear this.... apologies for the dodgy "selfie" pictures but I simply don't have a blog photographer so I think I'm going to have to learn to master the "selfie". I like to think of it as the inception of photography..a picture within a picture.




I decided to wear a wine coloured pencil skirt form Dorothy Perkins with a cream top that I bought in Penneys during the January sales for €5, bargain! It's really a casual tshirt type top but I'm a firm believer that any item of clothing can be dressed up or down depending on what you wear it with. Due to the fact that it was fa-ree-zing I had to wear black tights,I simply had to. I also had to go with closed toe shoes so I wore my black shoe boots from Dorothy Perkins that I also wore in this post. My bag is also from Penney's,again bought in the January sales for a whopping €3.
I wore a ring from New Look and a mixture of some bangles from Dorothy Perkins and Penneys.

 Because it was so cold (did I mention it was fa-reee-zing?) I,of course,wore a coat. I've had this coat for years,I bought it in Dunnes and it has been such a good investment,I've gotten so much wear out of it.

I decided to go for a pretty natural makeup look,nothing too exciting and recently I've been thinking about getting a new hairstyle so I'm trying to grow my side fringe out(nightmare). Today I parted it down the middle and put some waves in. Is the middle parting a style I should consider? I think I'm kind of liking it. All opinions welcome!

Hope everyone's well

Monochrome Crazy



I love the fact that the monochrome look is a trend this year. I'm a big fan of wearing black,white, and cream clothes. I've always been a fan of a classic monochrome look. Personally I think that investing in a few pieces for this trend will be money well spent. Having some good black and white pieces in your wardrobe is a no brainer, they'll never go out of style so you'll get years of use out of them.Most people will probably have several items in these colours in their wardrobes already so this is a trend that most of us can wear without spending much money.

I think a blazer is a great investment, a black blazer like this one from Asos is great addition to any wardrobe or this one from Awear will make any outfit look instantly glam.



Accessories are also a great way to update a look and make it on trend. This bag from Awear is great for day time and this clutch from Dorothy Perkins can take you from daytime to night time glam easily.


And just cos it looks so cosy, this jumper from New Look will keep you warm and on trend.


Does anyone else love the monochrome look??
