DIY FRAYED MOM JEANS

Jumper & Gilet: Pimkie | Jeans: Levis via Motel Vintage | Shoes: Reebok via Size? 

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

I'm aware that I've featured all of these items in my blog very recently, but let's face it: this gal repeats outfits constantly! If I love something, I tend to just live in it - no shame! The main purpose of this post is to show how I cut the bottom cuffs of my jeans off; literally the best thing I've ever done! I did like my Levis before, but I always thought the cuffs looked a bit too neat and even awkward at times. So I went a bit scissor crazy and chopped them off, and then started tugging on the ends like a madwoman until I was happy with the fraying. I love the length of them now, and the uneven fraying is a subtle way to take any outfit to the next level and help it all look effortless yet stylish.

PORTOBELLO MARKET

Vintage jumper | H&M jeans | Vans trainers | Michael Kors bag | Mango leather jacket

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

I headed into Portobello Market for the first time ever last weekend, and opted for a warm and comfortable outfit, mainly because the weather's been sooo indecisive recently! I went for my cosy vintage jumper and stripy jeans, adding a slight pop of colour with my old purple Vans; a simple and kinda grungy look appropriate for a good few hours of browsing and perusing.

TIE DYE & SPOTS

I love contrasting colours and shapes, and after delving into the depths of forgotten items in my wardrobe, I pulled out this thrifted green tie-dye t-shirt, and my old salmon and black spotty Vans. Together, they make for a really simple outfit, made slightly more interesting and eye-catching due to the clash of colours and prints. Once again, I paired it with my trusty black skinnies and long cardigan.

BRICK LANE VINTAGE

I ventured into Brick Lane Market for the first time only a couple of weeks ago. I literally can't believe that I've left it until now to go; it's my new favourite place in London, for sure. It's absolutely buzzing with people, incredible food, creative stalls and amazing vintage pieces. I found the cutest little stall teeming with these oversized vintage shirts, and it took me ages to pick one because I loved most of them. Finally, I decided to go for a safer option that I felt was more wearable and versatile. Even though it's black, grey and white, the crazy pattern can spice up any outfit, and I added a pop of colour with my oxblood Dr. Martens.

I finally got some sandals!

YAAAAY! I hunted and I found! 

I finally got myself a pair of sandals! The days of only ever wearing boots are over :D I got these babies from Schuh, and after seeing many similar to these in loads of different shops, I finally came to a decision, and loved the way these fit.

(Apologies in advance for my manky toe-nail polish - or lack there of it)

Also, check out this funky earring I found in the Urban Outfitters' sale; thought it was quite different and quirky and not something that I'd usually think of buying!

I also found this crop/t-shirt in the UO sale - I love the way it sits loosely on the shoulders, plus I really needed more simple-but-pretty tops that I could just thrown on to go with pretty much anything.

SHEER & CHIC?

So as promised, this is my second look featuring my new Primark sheer top, which I've probably worn a few too many times now! This look is slightly more me than the other one - and I love teaming white with creamy/beigy colours! I think it's such a nice contrast; something that a 3-years-ago-me probably wouldn't have dreamed of. 

ASSIGNMENT - Outfits that flatter a pear & athletic shape (part II)

Following on from my last post, which reflected on a module I've just completed that focused on body shapes and learning all about which clothes enhance our bodies as effectively as possible, the following images are the second outfit that I had to style on myself for one of my assignments.

Enjoy!

 Recognising the benefits of horizontal and vertical stripes, I chose this dress to best enhance these areas of my body. For a pear shape, vertical stripes above the waistline do wonders to highlight the bust and give the illusion of more volume in that area. Simultaneously, vertical stripes on the lower half of my body will lengthen and slim this area. As well as the benefits of the horizontal stripes, the bright colour will add inches to the bust area.

The dress itself is fitted at the bust, with a floaty skirt that balances my figure and skims neatly over my lower half to create a flattering A-shape.

 I decided to pair this dress with a light beige cardigan that I felt contrasted nicely with the dress, and used a leather belt to highlight the waist.

Literally obsessed with the back of this dress! <3
