So, my weekend's been quite busy. I really wasn't sure what to write about this weekend, so I feel like this is a jumble of things and I am sorry there is no proper theme to this post, haha.
OOTD:
So, I wore this outfit to work minus the shoes. I think it is quite "autumny" (autumnal), as the jacket is a dark green, camo/army type colour. I guess the reason why I think it suits this season is because the jacket is so dark. (Although, tbh I would wear this anytime of the year-especially when it's a bit chilly)
All the stuff from this outfit I purchased quite a while ago, however I am sure if you wanted to "recreate" this look, it wouldn't be hard. (I'm not really sure if you'd want to, I s'pose this outfit isn't exactly "in" it's just bog standard, but there you go...)
The top is quite loose, I dunno if you can tell. I bought mine in a size up, it's a size M. I got it from H&M, however I bought it when it was in a sale, near the end of summer (like the end of August). It's just a top with thin, black vertical lines. I just love the way it hangs. Initially, the reason why I bought it was because it looked similar to a top one of my favourite YouTubers wore. And I liked her style, so I definitely wanted it.
The jacket is from Dorothy Perkins, however I will be honest with you, I bought mine from a charity shop. It was a very nice charity shop, and buying clothes whilst helping other is always a good cause! -So what can I say? The jacket is in a size 8, however I wish it was a size larger because, again I will be honest with you, it's a struggle to button it up! Haha. All in all though, I do love this jacket very much and have worn it a lot.
The black jeans are from Primark, and since I haven't been to Primark in a while, I can't be sure, however I am still quite confident you will still find these, as their just basic, black skinny jeans. They are super comfy and very nice!
My black creepers I just bought from a regular shoe shop, and I bought them last year, have got quite a lot of use out of them and am still using them! So they are definitely good! I love them very much. I just think they kinda "glam" the whole outfit up!
A scarf and hat I reckon would make this outfit cosier, and maybe some accessories if you really wanted to?
So, this weekend I bought a few items and wanted to share them with you. It's not a lot but I took some photos and wanted to add them into this post.
First off, nothing exciting, I bought a hairbrush-my old one was tacky and dying, some of the "prongs" (I dunno what you call them? -The bits that stick out.) they had fallen off. So I bought with great cause and need. It's a Tresemme brush and so I believe it is £6.99 well spent. It's pretty big too. I like it :)
Next thing I bought was my MUA eye shadow palette, I saw some bloggers reviewing/talking about some of the products from MUA, and seeing the price (very cheap), I wanted to join in too. The palette I've chosen 'Heaven and Earth' (I love the name) has got lots of earthy and also golden tones, so I think it is perfect for a subtle look. I've also wanted to incorporate eye shadow into my daily make up routine, but I guess I'm just too lazy. But this palette is so pretty, that I guess I shall start now. If I really like this, it might end up in another post soon to come! We'll see.. This palette was only £4 as well-bargain!
Lastly, I bought a black liquid eye liner. Bog standard. It's from Collection and was £2.99. I'll be honest, I'm not very fussy when it comes to eye liner, so long as it stays on and the brush is nice. So, I'm not bothered.
All this stuff was from Superdrug. I always seem to give myself a reason to pop in there once a week! Oh dear, haha. My budget is only small, so I guess I seem to stagger the things I buy, if that makes sense? Anyone else do this?
Hope you all had a lovely weekend! Thank you if you're reading this! :) xxx
P.S My mum's friend bought her some flowers, so I took some photos-I couldn't help myself! They're so pretty! So please enjoy this random, crappy photo of flowers! (I really want to get a proper camera!)
Looove that outfit! I'm totally addicted to creepers and they really go well with the whole look! I've also wanted that 'Heaven and Earth' palette for forever now, the colours are so pretty! :)
