#17 Fashion Foreword
So this is the first ‘my own style’ post. I’m a bit nervous, mainly because I have no one to photograph me all artsy and I only have a crappy digital camera (or my iPhone if I can’t find my camera) so even if on the rare occasion I think I look good, the camera tells me I look like crap. I’m sure that’s just a standard woman thing though!
Without further ado, here are some outfits I’ve worn over the past few weeks, along with an occasional face of the day. I work four out of seven days, so on those days I usually only wear a leggings and long top before or after my shift. Those days I haven’t bothered photographing.
Checked Shirt £22 @ Next // Faux Leather Skirt £19.99 @ H&M // Wool Tights £2.99 @ Primark // Brogue Boots (Ancient) @ Primark |
Leaf Print Tunic (Ancient) @ Urban Outfitters // Plait Belt £1.99 @ Primark // Black Top £7.99 @ H&M // Beret (Ancient) @ Primark // Brogues £8 @ Primark // Henry Holland Suspender Tights £12.00 @ Topshop |
Purple Ribbed Skater Dress £25 @ Topshop // Grey Wool Tights £2.99 @ Primark // Black Brogues £14.99 @ New Look |
Red Wool Tights £2.99 @ Primark // Black Studded Slippers £13.49 @ New Look |
As you can see from my wardrobe, I’m heavily into my wool tights this autumn/winter as well as jewel colours. I have bought a lot of new clothes lately as i’m slowly shedding my baby weight and i’m now back into a 10. Plus I have a job now! It’s been great because everywhere has had sales and discounts on, as well as when my family and I went away to Newcastle shopping my dad gifted us some money to treat ourselves (the first outfit was all bought with the money my dad had given us). It feels great to finally have some clothes I genuinely love and that I feel comfortable in. The purple ribbed Topshop dress is one of my favourites at the moment and it was one of the first size 10 items I bought, that was a proud proud day!
Hopefully I’ll have some confidence to post some more ‘What I’ve Wore’ entries!
ALSO Urban Outfitters are currently doing 20% off EVERYTHING with FREE delivery! Just enter 20URBS at the checkout! I totally just bought that velvet dress & green skirt I’d been coveting!

There’s no need to worry about not being able to do the whole ‘arty-modelling’ photos; you look lovely!
Particularly liking the checkered shirt and the leaf print tunic :- )

Thank you 🙂 My biggest issue is light both the full length mirrors face windows so it makes my photos so dark with light backgrounds, luckily I think I’ve sussed how to angle my camera!
The shirt comes in red too, and it’s really nice material. The tunic was £15 in the UO sale and has an open back, I love UO sales you can find such bargains

I don’t use anyone to take photos of me, partly cos I feel like a prat but I get way judgemental of how I look. I love wool tights, I just think they need to make more colours. Love the dresses and the patterns on them. Beautiful!
Also give me your baby weight secrets! 😛 x

When I was looking at the photos of you I wouldn’t of thought for one second you’d had two children!
But I guess the only thing I did was swap all my snacks for ones that had less that 3% fat.. I bought extra light philadelphia on things instead of butter and swapped to sweetners in my tea (I can only drink it really sweet so the three sugars were a nightmare for putting on weight!) I also swapped to skimmed milk. Apart from going for walks with the pram and of course running about at work I didn’t do any exercise haha. I’m way too tired for that!
