And here's a picture of my beautiful cat, she got hit by a car last night, but she was a lucky little thing, as all she has is a few cuts and bruises.
So I shall be cuddling her ridiculous amounts until she's back to normal :)

I love how slightly patterned trousers add can make a simple outfit so much more interesting.
I think because they come across as bold they create a sense of confidence 

on whoever is wearing them.

The jumper is the perfect slouchy-ness, making the outfit really comfy and easy to 

wear for any occasion.

You know it's the beginning of Autumn when the beanies and leather jacket comes out!
Quite a simple outfit, with a grungy tone for just being comfortable.

Just wait until it gets colder, because I pretty much live in beanies and this leather jacket!
(hopefully that won't get too boring!)

I've never been one for tight tops, as I don't like how it draws attention to my boobs.

I've always lived by the rule of tight on the bottom and loose on the top, but as part of me experimenting with clothes I thought I would try and break this habit.

This top is the perfect starter for getting me out of that idea. even though it is tight, the long sleeves don't make it feel too revealing or exposed.

For now I'm going to pair this top mainly with trousers, as tight shorts might feel too much, but who knows, maybe one day I'll just feel brave enough.

I really liked the pastel blue colour of the top, and the shape of the neckline, it's a very flattering top and it feels good to wear something out of my usual comfort zone.

I paired the outfit with these shoes, as I thought it made it overall feel more casual, and I also wanted to wear them, as they have been hiding in the cupboard for months.
During the last term of University earlier on in the year I pretty much wore these shoes every single day as I was stressing way too much to care about clothes and these went with everything and were ridiculously comfortable.
So I thought I'd give them a day out :)

I do love some good patterned trousers!
These are some cheap (yet beautiful) dogtooth leggings from Primark. I'm treating them as a standby version of the checked Joni Jeans from Topshop, until I find a full time job and can afford them.
But for now, these are more than enough. They are them kind of leggings that are thick enough that you can wear them as trousers, which is always good!

The black top is from New Look. I bought it with a voucher I got for my birthday, as I was in desperate need of a thick basic black top with sleeves, and this was perfect.

I added some blue converse and my trusty bowler hat to add some personality and a laid back edge to the overall look, as well as a hint of colour.

Wearing a Kaftan is the easiest way to make a simple outfit more formal and fancy.
I haven't really worn it too much over the summer as it has a tendency to fall off the shoulder which gets annoying, but I really want to wear it more before the good weather is over, because it is just so pretty!
And when it is paired with this equally adorable scalloped top, it makes for such a pretty and girly outfit... which for me is quite rare!
Because I'm not one for full on girly, I wore it with my trusty Joni Jeans rolled up at the bottom to make it more everyday wear.

The Purple / Green has nearly all faded from my hair, I need to re-do it!

I've been searching for some cut out boots for quite a while, and I finally got the PERFECT pair 

in this pair from Primark for £15.
(I love you Primark...)

They are the type of shoes that will go with EVERYTHING, so I thought I'd see how many 

different ways I could style them.
I came up with five different styles; Simple, Frilly Socks, Tights, Knee Highs and Contrasting, as a basis for me to style the boots.

so here they are!

❤   Simple  ❤

Styling them simple for when your outfit is already quite vibrant and patterned, or when you want to have quite a 'grown up' look.
This styling would also be good for formal events or interviews. 

 ❤   The Frilly socks   ❤

Adding frilly socks underneath the boots is a perfect way to inject some girly-ness into an edgy outfit, or just go double girly and add it to a pretty dress for a night out.

❤    Tights    ❤ 

Wearing the boots with tights shows that these could very easily transition 
into autumn and winter outfits.
And why keep the tights black when there is so many variations of colours, patterns 
and designs for tights!

  ❤    Knee Highs   ❤ 

Perfect for adding a bit of warmth in the autumn evenings, or that extra 
something to a festival outfit.

❤   The Contrast  ❤

Why keep it simple when you can have fun with your outfits?
Adding some funky socks to an otherwise simple look is just one way to inject some personality and individual style into your outfits.
I like how these socks creates a contrast between the blackness of the leather and 
the colours and patterns in the socks.




I hope this has given some people a bit of inspiration to not always play it safe.Because it's a lot more fun if you don't!
