Sooo.. yesterday I had my final exam at uni (1st year complete woo!!). I was a bit nervous, so to keep me calm, I dressed up nice :D
It's a sort of boyish look, not sure how to describe it, but I gave it a girly twist by putting my hair into a doughnut (Pretty Pieces, £2.59, Claires Accessories, Primark).
The shirt is lace and see through, dark blue with a scallop edge. It was my mums in the 80's/90's so not available anymore, though there is this one from Laura Ashley where mine is from if you're not bothered about the lace. This one from H and M is a little less structured, or if you want a proper shirt, I like this one, it's a cute pattern and nicely cut.
I have a black vest top underneath (Primark, £2.50) to preserve my dignity, though I would wear it without one for a night out.
The jeans were from a Next Clearance store (beautiful beautiful bargins!!) a while ago, and got dyed slightly purple thanks to a jumper in the wash :/ but it's a nice colour! Dorothy Perkins have a nice pair, if you've gone for a light top though, go for darker jeans. New Look also do a nice pair.
My shoes are my babies. They are from Ark, (£9.99) and are mens, but I have big feet! You can get them anywhere though, and I also have a white pair to wear with dresses.
For acessories, I kept it simple. My braclet was an 18th Birthday pressie, from Chamilia, but you can get cheap immitations from Claires, Primark, New Look, anywhere really. If you're ridiculous rich, get a Pandora. My necklace was a present from my granny, but any necklace with a short chain would work. Wear it underneath the collar. My ring was another 18th pressie from my other granny, I wear it everyday. This one from Tesco is pretty. Finally, my earrings were in a set of 9 for £2 from Primark.
Whack on a dark grey blazer if it's chilly and go go go :P
Enjoy!

Went to the gym today, not normally a place to look anything other than sweaty, but I quite liked this combination.
It's what I normally wear to the gym, really easy to mix and match.
So we have black crop top (£9.95,Dance Direct). If you need more support, go for a sports bra that looks like a crop top (shock absorber and freya active are my choices).
A plain vest top. I got mine from Sports Direct years ago, but you can get some nice ones now for £5.00, like this one. Really versitile and interchangable, I have a few in different colours.
Patterened shorts, £3, Primark. You can get other colours, including a really cute turquoise pair with palm trees on.
Black leggings, £3, Primark. Best to get a size or two bigger, as they make them quite small.
Black trainers. The reason I have black is so I can wear them for work and so they'll go with lots of things. The pink stripe was my indulgence :P £26, Sports Direct. Make sure you get training ones for the gym, running ones have a different sole.
And an armband for my iPod. This is new, and the 1st time I've used it. This one has an awkward headphone slot, but there are loads on amazon.co.uk.
Roll up your leggings or get 3/4 ones and wear trainer socks, minimal or no make-up (you're going to sweat it all off anyways) and off you go!
Have fun :)

Hello
This is a little project of mine. I have noticed that there are LOOOOAAADS of fashion blogs, well, everywhere..
Now, I don't profess to know much about fashion, but I'd like to try my hand at it. I don't dress up every single day, and most of my clothes are from the sales, so I'm not really 'high fashion'.
So I have a plan. If I like what I'm wearing, I will post it, and try to find either the exact thing, or if it's a little old, something like. If that makes sense..
So, everyday, nighttime, going out.. all looks included!
I'm not afraid of wearing something that didn't cost alot (bargain hunting is beautiful), and of mixing and matching. I'm size 10, 'curvy', 5ft 9in, long legged, short armed, long bodied, wide shouldered and ginger, though most things I wear can work for most people :)
Hope you enjoy!
