CHRISTMAS DAY OUTFIT

Dress: H&M | Belt: H&M | Pumps: Zara | Scarf: Avon 

---------------------------------------

Better late than never I suppose! Even though our Christmas fever has long subsided by now, I figured I would still post this look, purely because it's so wearable and appropriate for so many different occasions - and at only £19.99 for this cute lace dress, where can you go wrong? At some point last year, I completely gave up on everything lace; I felt like it had been so over-done and it failed to draw me in, but when I saw this dress in H&M, the colour and general aesthetic had me immediately. It's so simple, but at the same time, I have nothing like it, and it's so easy to dress up for a nice dinner, or alternatively pair with chunky boots or even trainers, for a more casual vibe. The belt, also from H&M, was one of the most exciting purchases I'd made in a while, not only because it's incredibly versatile, but because I've finally found one that fits my little waist.

SOME NEW BITS N BOBS

As the title suggests, this post features a few new additions that I've not yet included in my blog! I love being home because I discover old things that I used to wear, presenting a perfect opportunity to try and bring them to life again! This vibrant floral skirt is actually a dress, but I decided to wear my polo neck knit (£10 guys!) over it, which I felt was better suited to the cold weather, and also complemented the colour palette perfectly! 

These old Topshop boots have made it back into my life; they're such a great versatile day/night pair of heels! But the new additions, bought in the January sales last week, are this gorgeous leather bucket bag and the gold chunky bracelet. The bag is not only incredibly sturdy and amazing quality, but also the perfect size...and it was about time I got myself a bag with gold hardware. I've ditched my old cream/black Primark bag, so I have a feeling that this one is going to be my new regular! Such a great bargain! 

I'm not usually one for close-up face selfies; I'm way too self-conscious for that! But I'm loving this new lipstick I got myself (Chanel) the other day for general day use; not too pink, bright, or nude but just the right pop of colour.

Thanks for reading!

Blue Jeans -

Recently, I received great feedback from somebody regarding my blog, and was advised to post more of my everyday looks as opposed to occasional outfits - which usually tend to be what I wear on the weekends. The reason why I was only posting weekend outfits up until now is because I tend to spend a little more time on them, and my joy at the prospect of finally reaching these two freedom-filled days is somewhat reflected in my outfits, whereas on a day to day basis, I fear they'll be kinda blah and boring. But I've now decided to post my outfits more regularly, in order to showcase my style as effectively as possible! =]

If you're a follower of my blog, you'll know that I swear by my black (or striped) jeans - and now, of course, my beloved mom jeans - but I realised that I haven't really worn these navy blue Topshop jeans in yonks and pulled 'em out for a bit of attention. They go so nicely with my Docs - totally love the colour contrast - and, most importantly, they're super stretchy and SO comfy. 

This cute necklace was given to me by my mum after a nice jewellery spring cleaning session last year. I dunno about you guys, but I'm someone who goes through phases with jewellery. For some time, I'll be obsessed and be draped in necklaces, bracelets and rings, and then there are other periods of time where I just don't wear anything. I'm currently going through the latter, so I think a simple & understated gold necklace like this is perfect to spice up an outfit slightly, and can add a touch of girlyness to an otherwise ungirly outfit. 

So when I first got this top from the Motel Rocks sample sale, I had envisioned it as a crop top, as I was obsessed with the colours on the top half, and wasn't too sure about the horses. But the truth is that I simply haven't got around to cutting it up yet, and frankly, I'm kinda scared that I'm gonna ruin it. So I just wore the whole shabang and actually quite liked it, but I'm not too sure what its ultimate fate should be! What do you guys think?

CONTEST - How to make overalls look CHIC

Another look I created for a contest on Polyvore! 

CONTEST - Chic in Overalls by juliacoejj featuring blue tops

Unfortunately, I don't own, nor do I ever really wear overalls, so this was a challenging one for me. The aim of the contest was to make the outfit look super chic, while incorporating a pair overalls! I chose a pair of leather ones, as I felt that it was probably easier to add great little touches such as the stylish pair of heels and fluffy fur coat! 

I tried to give it a slight edge with the pop of gold by means of the clutch and necklace.

To be honest, it makes me want to get myself a pair of overalls.

What do you guys think? Can overalls look chic?
