Addicted to studs and furs

Hi Guys!

OOTD 1

*Dodgy face pic*

I wore my DIY studded shirt again, and this time I tied a black ribbon to keep the neck closed (ribbon from ebay 99p). I wore the shirt tucked into a black mini skirt. I looked like a jazzed up waitress.

First day wearing my fur! FYI The colour I got was 'black racoon' and I'm really happy with my choice, it complements my colouring and wardrobe really well. I wore it every day this week. (Also got a black faux fur on the way!) Both £11.99 inc p+p from ebay.

Worn with a black elbow sleeved jacket from dorothy perkins. You can wear the faux fur like a collar (opened) but there is also an elastic on the underside that you can tuck the end in (as pictured).

OOTD 2

Leopard print, raccoon and rabbit skin - I kid I kid!!

Outfit basically the same as yesterday but with a leopard print blouse and my greenish gap jacket.

OOTD: is that an egg?*

Hello Guys!

I am so excited to share this OOTD with you guys!I loved this outfit so much and felt really happy wearing it. And I got to wear a bunch of previously unworn stuff so that was fun. Jesus I am so shallow but whatever.

I am wearing:

Chiffon blouse with dip back from Tesco (loving tesco!)

Mid blue skinny jeans from Forever21

Pendant from Ebay

And once on road also wore:

My beloved Gap coat

Dirty nude suede pumps from Primark

My black Focco

Close up of my pendant (and non existent cleavage - where are my boobs hiding!?). I got this off ebay...I can't remember for how much exactly but it was under £2 (inc p+p). The chain is really long (bust length) but I did it up so that it would just peek out from under my collar. It looked really nice like this when my collar was done up all the way but settled with a few buttons undone because otherwise I would have suffocated.

*The title for this outfit of the day is due to SF's babygirl (aged 5). She seemed to find my pendant fascinating and kept asking "what is that?", I told her it was a stone (I don't think 'pendant' is in a child's vocab) and she said that she thought it was an egg. How cute is that!? (I hope she meant it looked like a really nice egg lol)

[BELOW]

Loving my new jeans! I got these from the Forever21 in Westfield Stratford City branch. I will post about my experience in another post but jeans wise I am so pleased! Buying plus sized skinny jeans in store is no easy feat. Firstly, there aren't many stores that do plus size (FYI there is no Evans in the new Westfield) and even stores that do plus size (i.e Dorothy Perkins, Newlook, Next) don't often stock the range is store, and if they do, it's pretty lame with, ironically, slim pickings. But anyway, the important thing is I got my jeans and they were only £15.25!!!! They are a tad long for me, bit they fit great and I can even walk properly and sit down and stand up. Happy days!!

On a side note - it's really weird that my two favourite OOTD's have been different from my usual look. I think I am known for my skirts and dresses but my favourite looks have been my homage to chanel and this one - both featuring...well, no skirt or dress.

This is really sad, but I can't wait until pay day, not for the obvious reason (kerching) but because we usually get a non uniform day at work (actually, we don't wear a uniform so it's official dress down day) on payday and I am soooooooo wearing this entire outfit. *excited squeal*!!!!

OOTD

Back to basics with Thursday's cream, black and grey outfit of the day.

Charcoal grey boyfriend blazer from primark, cream top from gap, m&s trousers with turned up bottom, eBay owl pendant and my 'focco' bag.

Wore grey 'suede' pumps with bow and 'gold' detail from primark. Total wrecked on the way home when the sky split open and drowned my poor shoes. Today is Saturday and they are still damp :(

And I don't know why my feet and ankles are so fat and orange, i blame the angle and lighting. They are about 5% less fat and orange in real life lol

Don't trip over the Gap!

Me in the fitting room in Gap. It's weird being there as a regular shopper. And it's weird not knowing what's going to be in the store. No money + no time = just a few try-on's in the fits for kicks :)

[ABOVE PIC] Floral maxi; not great on me but (it will become evident) I really want a maxi dress/skirt and I've decided the best way about it is to just try on everything and anything.

[BELOW PIC] With that being said I gamely picked this maxi off the rail even though it looked likea giant tent....and lo and behold it also looked like a giant tent on me too.

And saving the best til last [BELOW PIC]:

I love it! The blazer is navy with a navy and red polka dot sleeve lining and the skirt is a....I don't know what colour; creamy, greyey, beigey, stoney colour in a maxi style with an elasticated drawstring waist (which is much cooler than it sounds!!). The black top is actually my slip that I just tucked into the skirt. But I think the whole outfit was pretty cool and budget aside I would have totally brought it.

Oh well. I'm sad I couldn't get it but impressed with my willpower :)

Pride OOTD

Hi Guys,

Just a quick share of yesterday's outfit of the day. Amazingly I am not wearing anything black (bar my undergarments but you can't see so doesn't count!).

I find dressing in the hotter weather very difficult because a) I am fat and b) about 99% of my clothes are black.

Faithful blog readers might recognise the dress I am wearing - it's the one I got exactly last year to wear to 'the' wedding but I didn't wear it because I didn't like it and felt stupid in it. Not much has changed this year but I had on my fake tan and I didn't feel so bright in the dress so I took it on a tour around Oxford St. (It was £16 from Matalan btw).

I paired it with my patent nude sandals from Primark (last year, I think they were £12) and a primark bag my mum just gifted me (£3!!!!! - she also gave me a black version too - similiar shopping habits!)

I initially had on my biscuity cardigan from Gap Outlet NY ($9) but I only had that on for 15 mins before stuffing it into my handbag.

Hair is in a giant bun. So happy to have my hair off my neck and face; it's like a bloody blankey sometimes.

Oh! The dress came with a fabric belt in the same material but I took that off and jsut put on my tan Dorothy Perkins belt instead (£8..or £12)

Also my toe nails were NY Cin i131A (imaginative name(!)) and my nails were beige style by rimmel.

I have a feeling I shall be recycling this look everytime I need a bright and breezy outfit!

Hope you have had a nice weekend, and any LGT peeps readig; happy PRIDE to you.

Much love xoxox

P&G / OOTD

Last week was inspired by Chanel and boy meets girls, this week was all about girl meets girl in my d&g inspired poofy skirt and ruffly blouse (both from Gap).

My fake tan is coming along very well btw. I am not streaky which is amazing and I've had a few bare legs day so I'm happy with it. I am a bit orange/yellow tinged but I guess this is as good as it will be. I guess with my race I'm not going to find a fake tan that really compliments my natural colour. I would look for fake tans from Asia but they are so obsessed with being as white as possible I don't think fake tan exists. When I was last in Thailand I was trying to get some face powder and it only came in white and Casper white! My cousins found it very odd that I wore fake tan and bronzer.

Each to their own I guess :)

Eskimo Snow!

Who's laughing at my stupid hat now?!

Day 19 – Another picture of myself.

It's me! And I am wearing my new prized possession; furry trapper hat from Gap, rrp £19.50.
I love it. And I've had people pointing, laughing, pointing and laughing, stares, thumbs up and I have heard every single rat/beaver/cat/roadkill/badger etc joke there is. But am i 'bovverred?!' No! I heart it :)
