PRETTY PLUM
14 May 2014
Eldwick, Bingley, West Yorkshire BD16, UK
Back to school! It's a Wednesday which means I'm half way through this very long week, and I'm literally counting down the hours until I can go to sleep tonight. I'm that lazy. So today I'm wearing this lace dress made for me, and I'm crazy about the colour. It has two different tones to it, the fabric behind appears as a 'background' colour which is a really dark purple and then a lighter plum/aubergine colour on top full of subtle pattern. This dress is great for school because it's so soft and comfortable for my entire day in lessons. I also have a free period right in the middle of the day so I like to relax in the common room then, which means I need something really cosy to curl up in. My coat is from Matalan and perfect for a day like today because of the fur lining on the colour and the inside. It's faux of course, and almost like sheepskin it's so very soft. I'm carrying my everyday school bag from TK Maxx that is perfect for carrying all my huge folders in, and my leather pumps are from Next. I bought these shoes from the men's section, and they're perfect for a long day of walking - possibly for a theme park or a day out, so I love to wear these to school because I know I won't have to walk home with me feet in pain!

TOTALLY TRANQUIL TUESDAY

I'll be spending the entire day working from home as I have only one lesson and my teacher isn't available. I would say one of the perks of being in sixth form are the free periods and cancelled lessons. It's like the weight of textbooks lifted off your shoulders. So as I won't be going anywhere today, I'm wearing this huge floaty shirt from Primark. I bought this shirt two sizes bigger because I know Primark sizes can bit a little smaller than other shops, but I wanted the shirt to be quite floaty and oversized because I love the pattern. It has a mirror effect all over with swans and flowers everywhere. I think it's a great top for spring because of the traces of pastel colours which were a major trend in spring, and the hints of floral - another huge trend on the spring catwalks.
I'm also wearing plain black leggings that my mum made, that have a disco-like effect in them. These leggings are made out of a stretchier fabric that plain jersey leggings which makes them super soft and comfortable, great for a lazy day in. Finally, my shoes are from Sports Direct, and the brand is Nike. I don't wear shoes inside, but if I were to nip out, I would wear these shoes because they brighten up the bottom of my outfit, as my leggings are dark, and the colour tones well with my shirt.

MERRY MONDAYS

Mondays aren't really the worst day of the week for me. I have the morning off, which means the temptation to stay in bed and watch Jeremy Kyle is incredibly strong, but I have time to blog, and prepare for my lessons which start in the afternoon. Today I'm wearing this really chunky jumper from Topshop that I bought in their spring sale. The weather is really strange today, but it looks like it will eventually be quite cold so I'm wearing this to cosy up in during my lesson, and be warm enough to walk home in. Over that, my leather jacket is from Miss Selfridge which I've had for a while and is easily one of my favourite clothing items. I love leather as a fabric, but leather jackets are incredibly versatile, not to mention waterproof so perfect for a day like today.
My jeans are from Topshop, which I only recently bought, and have become my third pair of charcoal jeans. I just really like charcoal jeans, and the more the better. The colour has really grown on me, and these jeans are MOTO which means they're super soft and sensible for school. Both my shoes and bag are from Next; my bag is one of my favourite because it's oversized and I can through everything in it. I have used it as a carry-on, a school bag, and overnight bag and everything else. The bag also has zips down the side so it does expand to make the bag even bigger. My shoes were bought recently and I love the little heel, and that they're so comfortable I can even wear them to school. They're also really easy to walk in which I always look for in a high heel.

VELVET SPLASHES AND SIMPLE SUEDE
10 May 2014

My 'splash dress' is one of my favourite dresses because it's unique to my style and wardrobe. I chose the fabric myself, and the style of the dress, which means it's highly unlikely anyone else will be wearing the same attire. I really liked the splashes of colour, and how they work really well with each other. They're also velvet juxtaposed with a jersey fabric which give them that extra shine. Velvet is one of my weakness fabrics because of it's unique texture and how it can highlight any assets of an outfit. My dress was made by my mum so it's made to fit, but I also had a dress made that has the extra 'splash' fabric on top, and on the bottom is plain black jersey so I have two to chose from. My coat is from Topshop, which I'm wearing due to the awful weather today - it's May but it's been raining nearly week! I'm carrying my everyday handbag from Next which I am back to loving, it just perfectly fits all my essentials in, without having to carry a large bag that is floppy because it's almost empty. My shoes are from Brantano, and the brand is Front. I have really gown to love these shoes because I can really wear them with any outfit. The simple suede means they're also formal enough to wear to the less-casual occasions but can still be styled with jeans or a dress.
