I need some serious help with these outfit photos! 1. I look like a horrendous troll & 2. The quality is not coming out well and is making the outfits look so dark and dull!

I'll go straight into it as I know your all here to see the clothes not and not to practise your ready! 

Outfit one:

I got the top from F&F in tesco for the bargain price of £10.. I'm in love with the Topshop ones and when I saw this, being a lover of polka dots, I had to have it. I was pleasantly surprised in how good quality it is and washes really well.

The skirt is a classic for work and was £15 in H&M, it is available in a range of colours and is so comfy! I actually despise work clothes so found it such a dull chore filling up my wardrobe with this style of clothes but I'm slowly getting used to it now.

The blazer is an oldie but a goody. I'm sure we all owned one of these bad boys from New Look back in the day. For some unknown reason I went for pink.. I never buy pink clothes so this is a rarity in my wardrobe. I love it for the office because it is just so light and comfy so I am glad I kept hold of it all these years! 

Here's a close up for some unknown reason. 

Outfit Two:

This dress is a solid favourite of mine for work, especially for the summer months. This is actually also by F&F at Tesco... I swear that's not where I buy my best clothes!! I think it cost around £20 and is again really comfy.. are you spotting a theme here?

 My face look extra ugly in this one so it was best for everyone that it got cropped off *hands over face*. This dress is the perfect length for work and looks great with a blazer. I personally think that it would also be really nice for a family occasion or a trip to the races.

Fashion | Valentinos on a budget

I have wanted a pair of Valentinos since way back when Millie Macintosh posted this photo on Instagram. I fell in love with them right away and knew, as an avid shoe collector, that I needed them.

After checking out the £600+ price tag I realised that maybe I would have to wait for them. I then gradually started seeing various styles pop out allover with the nude colour being the most popular. 

One evening I was browsing through VIPXO ebay posts when I saw she had found a jupe on ebay and I literally jumped with joy. Nude wasn't my colour of choice but they had the black and the pink also so I decided that as soon as I was back from my holiday I would order them. 

The next week I was in TK MAXX searching for flip flops when another pair caught my eye. They were all black valentino style (heels not flip flops) but the studded straps where clear so the studs looked free standing. There was just one pair in my size so yes it was meant to be. I got them to the till and it was then I realised that they were £75. Much better than the £600 Valentino price tag but still a bit pricey the week before a 3 week trip to America. I put the shoes back and had a silent cry to myself as I left the store.

Anyway here comes the really good part. Whilst in America there was a shopping outlet that we visited quite regularly and on the second to last day I spotted these in the window of a small clothes shop. It was like the world around me stood still and all that was left was me and these shoes. All the other near misses with Valentino wanna be shoes had all been for a reason because these are the absolute dream and far from the plain Jane blacks and nudes which every other dupe was made up of.

Leopard print is one of my all time favourites and these shoes are just me on so many levels. They cost me $30 which works out about £18 so they were literally the biggest bargain and they are so so comfy as well - This is a big statement coming from who girl who supports 'airmax always'.

Here I am wearing them in bed because I love them so much and I am sure you would all love to look at them some more.

Work Life | Mid week mini series | The work saga: part 4 (1)

You may have noticed that last week there was no mid week post. This was due to me just returning back from holiday, going back to work and just pure jet lag!

Now this is a part of the work saga that I have really been looking forward to, which is probably why I have left it till one of the last 'parts'. This is the sort of outfits I wear day to day in the office.

Please excuse my poor quality images, this is probably why I don't do that many outfit posts! I live with all boys so have know one to take good quality photos for me! *cry*

This outfit looks loads better in person and just screams Cher Clueless. Both the shirt £15 and the skirt £20 are from H&M and are currently in stock.

I love that this skirt is a little bit different, it is made up from a tiny black and white dog tooth pattern giving it a grey finish and is high wasted for a more flattering finish.

The next outfit is this maroon colour shift dress from primark, I believe it was between £10 and £15 but it was purchased a while ago.

It is comfy and flattering and has just the right length sleeves and skirt to it to make it feel that bit more professional.

Taking photos is so so boring and time consuming! I don't know how some of you bloggers find the time and get them looking so pro!

I would usually throw a blazer on top if I was off to a meeting or event but when I'm just sat in the office I prefer not to wear them.

Fashion | Outfit Ft Pink by Victoria Secret sports bra

Let me start by saying, that I am very much aware that this is in fact a sports bra and not a top. I know how annoyed some people get at the sight of a women in a sports bra in the gym. I personally don't get this, your in the gym surely you should be wearing comfortable sports clothes. At least this way theres no layers to sweat through.

Any how back to the point. I had a 10 pound voucher to spend in Victoria Secret and whilst browsing in the PINK section of the store my eyes landed on this. It was unlike anything I had seen before, there was just the one left, and it was my size. It was meant to be. I picked it up and marched straight to the till, thrusting my voucher and the rest of the 26 pounds at the cashier and gladly taking my petty pink bag and skipping out of the store.

Not being one to enjoy or partake in any kind of sport (unless you count laps between the fridge and the freezer) my next issue was deciding what an earth I was going to do with a 'sports bra'. Well I decided there wasn't much difference between this and a crop top and this was way too pretty to kept hidden away.

Here was the final outfit I decided on, the high skirt means there is not too much belly on show and adds to the summery feel of the outfit. The skirt is a denim look skater skirt from topshop.

This is an outfit I would probably reserve for a holiday abroad but the  braver girls among us may well wear this on a rare summers day in England.

If I have offended anyone by wearing a sports bra in public or worse outside of the gym please feel free to click off at any time. This is my own personal style and my own personal views and I do understand that not everybody will share those views.

Does anyone else brave crazy sports bras with normal clothes? Nope.. just me then *hands over eyes*

Work Life | Mid week mini series | The work saga: part 3 (4)

We are now half way through the work saga! I can't believe I'm 3 months into my new job. Time really has gone ridiculously quickly.

Some of this jewellery I literally never wear outside of work so it's actually quite strange wearing it on a regular basis. 

This is my favourite ring, you don't often see pretty black rings so I like it a lot. They are both from primark at around £1.50 each. 

I originally brought these earrings for a black tie event. I had my hair in an updo and wanted them to really stand out so that I didn't look too manly. £1.50 primark. The ring I can't remember where it's from, riverisland I think but again I've had it for a while and think it was about £8. It's very pretty but the little balls always get caught on stuff!

Week 3 of jewellery for work.

This is probably as colourful as it gets and the least used items in my collection at the moment. 

The ring was £1 in primark so an absolute bargain and I love the blue. The earrings I actually can't remember where there from as I have had them quite a while now. Most likely new look or primark tho for a few quid. 

These earrings were from riverisland, I got them when I was in year 11 and I had a purple uniform. There quite heavy so I don't wear them regulary I think I got them for around £8. The ring I got for 50p in a primark sale.. I still can't believe primark actually has sales!

I'm going to go straight into it this week, the same format of my work jewellery consisting of statement earrings and costume rings.

Exhibit A 

No pun intended. I love this scrabble ring.. It's so quirky yet so tacky but sometimes it makes a nice change and simple earrings look better when I have my big plait dos that you might have witnessed in part 1 of the work saga. 

I got the ring on eBay a few years back and the earrings were part of a set from new look if I remember right. 

Exhibit B

These are my new favourite earrings, I don't know why, they remind me of pat butcher but I felt like I needed them and they look less tacky for work than normal 'dangly' earrings. The ring I first brought I'm black and decided to go back and get the white because I liked it that much. 

Both were from primark around £1.50 each.

I can't believe I'm on part 3 already, doesn't time fly when your having fun!

I wanted to show you what jewellery I wear for work this month. I'm not really a massive fan of jewellery, I normally stick to a a simple gold ring that used to belong to my mum, my Tiffany bracelet & some kind of earrings. 

For work I try to wear statement earrings in the stud variety just to look a bit smarter and I always have a costume ring on for work to cover a tattoo I have. 

I love these as I don't often wear cream jewellery so it makes a nice change. Both from primark & cost £1.50 each I think. 

These are oldies but goodies. You can tell that they have probably seen better days and are probably 20% superglue right now. They were from riverisland.. I'm going to go with 6 years ago? Wow that's insane. I still love them. There so in your face and bright and leopard and pink and sometimes you just need that.

Shoes as by far my favourite and I'm sure I have already mentioned that a few times.  This is the last in this part so here goes the last 2 pairs.

Style 1:

So simple yet so Dorothy. It's nice to brighten up a work outfit, I feel like maybe everyone in my office hates me for always wearing such bright outfits and making them look duller than they actually are! haha 

Style 2: 

These were a great buy last year. £12 from primark and they are comfy and flat and high and black and have heels and what more could you want!! These have got a bit battered for work now but in good condition they were perfect for the office! 

I never get tired of buying shoes and my shoe collection got out of hand a long time ago but sometimes you just 'need them' 

It's weird to think that, all these shoes, and my go to pair are a battered up pair of nike air max! 

I haven't decided the theme for part 3 yet so you will have to subscribe to find out! 

Lifestyle | Mid week mini series | The work saga: part 2 (3)

Today's an exciting one!

These are my favourite work shoes, I was supposed to wait for week 4 but I couldn't wait any longer. 

Heels 🎉👠👏

Style 1:

Pointed heels look so smart for work and these ones are only about 2inch which before I would have referred to as 'kitten heels' and would have puked at the sight of them but I think these look so smart for work and aren't too uncomfortable for all day wear. 

£10 in the garage shoes sales

Style 2: 

Practical but not so pretty. 

These blue wedges are the lightest shoes I have ever owned and are ever so comfy so great for work. £17 from tk max

I usefully opt for flats but sometimes it makes a nice change to put some heels on for an important conference or meeting. 

Do you ever wear heels to work?
