OOTD | ‘tell me more, like does he have a car?’

PicMonkey Collage3
Dress: Dorothy Perkins
 
Hey!  It has been quite a while again since my last post, I have been pretty busy with work since I got my new job in the HR (Human Resources) department, wooop office job finally!  Also, I have one month left until I go off on my holiday so I have been trying to save my money which has resulted in less make up purchases etc :(  Although a couple of things made it into my possession which I will show you over this week! 
This dress is my new favourite, I bought it to wear to my boyfriend’s birthday meal and haven’t worn it since until today, because it deserves better than to be hidden in my wardrobe for months!  I really really love it, I’m not one for polka dots but for some reason this just caught my eye straight away.  Wearing it with red lips (Topshop Rio Rio), I definitely feel a bit 1950s and a bit Rizzo from Grease.  Grease is one of my favourite films, Marty is my favourite in case you happened to be wondering..! 
It’s a shame I have no tan to go with this outfit, I have spent quite a bit of time trying to get a bit of colour in the sun, but to no avail.  At the time when these photos were taken, I have just applied some fake tan so hopefully it is doing it’s thing as I type! 
What looks are you loving in this lovely weather? xx

OOTD: Teenage Kicks

Firstly, I couldn't post without including a few standard snow pics! 





Now I've got those out of the way, I shall resume usual service with an outfit post..



Dress (worn underneath):Topshop
Jumper: Topshop via Ebay
Belt: H&M
Coat:Vintage





The photos are from yesterday when Faye & I went roaming around our little village with our cameras.  It was really good fun, although we didn't really have a choice of anything else to do because snow = stranded as far as our village is concerned.  The outfit is from today though, and I apologise for the bad lighting, it just wasn't on my side today :(.  It was also a bad hair day, so I tried to put it up in a backcombed ponytail but that didn't really work out either so I gave up on it!  I have had this coat for ages, but completely forgot about it until I noticed it at the back of my wardrobe, it was a bargain £10 from a vintage store and I'll be wearing it a lot more now I've re-discovered it.  The bottom half goes outwards in a 50s style which I love as it automatically gives you curves.  This is the style of the black Topshop dress too, but you cannot see it as much because of the jumper.  The jumper is a crop style which I chose so that it would sit on the waist and create a bit of shape, and the belt is there to emphasise this.  But the main reason for the jumper here is because I was too cold not to wear it!  Hope everyone had a great weekend whatever the weather was like!
