Neither A High Nor A Low

As promised here's what I picked up yesterday...

Midi skirt!

So I did say I was looking for a black one over any other colour but when it's made of jersey and priced at 75p you can't really say no can you?

[worn with TS Boutique vest, 3 quid battered belt and Casio watch]

A selection of designer and high street today...(apologies for the frankly crappy photo but it would appear these shorts look better in person than on camera and I'll be damned if I'm going to post a picture of me on here looking like I'm wearing something two sizes too small)...

shorts...twenty8twelve by s.miller/vest...Cheap Monday/worn with...Marc by Marc Jacobs studded leather wrap bracelet, beige suede and peace sign bracelet from portobello and Zara black leather sandals

You will not believe what I picked up from my favourite thrifting haunt today?!?! I'll show you all tommorow but for now it's time for bed.

Back To Basics

A very belated outfit post from a couple days ago...

Basics with a twist - Topshop hi-waisted skinny jeans in indigo and slouchy grey marl tee.

The t-shirt has an attached necklace made up of grosgrain ribbon and plastic rhinestones. Today I flipped it so the decoration hung at the back and I definitely prefer wearing it this way.

Worn with my super soft chocolate leather brogues - also from Topshop and picked up in the sale for a mere fiver!

Ethereal Blouses, Barbaric Shoes & Boxing Kitties

Another new edition to the wardrobe and another outfit post. I picked this cream chiffon asymmetric hem tank up in the sale for £18! The best part is that the front is a double layer so you don't feel half naked. Paired with trusty black skinny hi-waist jeans and my ancient 3/4 sleeve beige mac...

Mac...MK1. Jeans...Topshop. Blouse...Topshop. Leather Cuff...Vintage.

I've always stayed away from asymmetric hems as I assumed they would make my hip look big on one side (and who wants lopsided hips?) and whatever my style is it ain't ethereal and floaty...but black denim and leather seems to have toughened it up nicely.

It was another trusty Betsey Johnson handbag that held my daily crap, this time in black leather with gold hardware...

And on the feet? Another new purchase...Zara chunky black leather sandals. These are a killer but I'm determined to wear them in...

I seem to always be drawn to 'ugly' shoes.....something a bit barbaric that kind of takes over your foot. If you ever see me in a pretty pair of heels it's likely someone else has made me wear them.

Waiting in today for my theoutnet.com parcel to be delivered. I am so excited but will massively deflate if said item doesn't fit...if I don't post anything about it it means they're going back and I'm too sad to blog :(

Finally, while in the garden yesterday my strange and inquisitive kitty (his favourite garden activities are digging holes, rolling around on the dusty concrete and chasing flies) got stung! He's thankfully fine but his bottom lip didn't come out of the battle unscathed...

Looks like he's done a few rounds in the ring.

The Hoarder, The Blog & The Wardrobe

After reading a lot of posts from A Pair & A Spare about her wardrobe essentials and wardrobe rehab I've decided to have an honest to goodness wardrobe cull. I'm one of those people who keeps EVERYTHING! Tee's that I would never ever wear again but have some vague sentimental attention...Keep! Leggings covered in holes...Keep! Clothes which don't really fit my style but could come in useful for a) the beach b) a job interview etc etc...Keep! A whole chunk will be ebayed, some will be making their way to the TTA shop and others will head to the charity shop.

So, in honour of my first tentative steps into creating a more capsule wardrobe and defining my style here is the first of many Outfit of the Day posts...
