Outfit of the Day - 06/7/11

I haven't done an outfit post in a while, mainly because - 1. I still haven't got a tripod and/or a new camera & 2. My camera has officially died.

So my photos are even worse than usual, haha! Sorry about that. I took the photos with my somehow-still-alive iphone (3GS). I hope you like them anyway!

I recently done a bit of online shopping - I actually prefer shopping online... more reasons I suck at being a girl - most of which arrived today.

So I thought even though my camera is dead I'd do an outfit post!

Forever buying cardigans & sweaters etc... Yes even in summer.

I just really love them...

Other things I love and buy too many of include cowboy boots! I will forever be a country girl.

I got these off ebay for £14.99 (!!)

Outfit Details

Dress - Forever21

Cardigan - Forever21

Boots - Ebay

You might have guessed already but I'm waay behind with blog commenting and such. But I'm hoping to catch up today!

What I Wore - 8/6/11

Apologies for not posting for a few days! I went to Nottingham on Wednesday and came back yesterday. I mentioned a post or two back that I was going to see The Pierces, and that's what I done on Wednesday evening.
They were amazing (!!) As were their two supporting acts; Alice gold & Delta Maid - And I will, for sure, be posting about them on my music blog in the next few days.

However, over here on my fashion/style/personal... everything else blog, I'm of course going to blog about my outfit and my day!
I spent just over 2 hours travelling - one bus, two trains & one taxi. In that order!
And when I got off my first train it was very sunny & pretty warm! I was impressed. However, while going through various places on my second train - there was no sun. I was pretty concerned considering I was going to be standing in a queue with a white dress on, later on.
The wonderful British weather came into full force while I was in the taxi to my hotel - It hailed. Hard.
So my outfit didn't go to plan, I wasn't into risking getting so cold I go home ill, so I put my jeans on instead of the tights. Also, I put my jacket on over the dress - for two reasons: I forgot my vest top to wear underneath because the dress is relatively see-through (boo!) & also, it was cold.


Obviously, again, my outfit photos aren't up to much. And the quality isn't so good this time as the lighting was different. I took them in my hotel room. Haha! I hope you like them anyway.

Dress - New Look
(faux) Leather Jacket - Internacionale
Jeans -  Internacionale
Oxfords - Primark
Flower Clip - Claire's

I also apologize for the state of my hand... I blame the weather.


I had a wonderful Wednesday, I hope you did too. I now have a lot to catch up on!
Happy Friday!
P.S - I took a lot of photos at the show on Wednesday and you can see them on my Flickr!

Polyvore Post ♥

Yes, I've been spending too much time on polyvore again. I actually like using polyvore most of the time to make sets of outfits I'll never wear. I have a particular style - that I spoke about in the last post - but I love fashion so much and often find myself looking at clothes online that I really love but know I'll never buy because they just wouldn't suit me... and that's where polyvore comes in. It kind of saves me from buying things that are pretty but I'll never wear (...I used to do this a lot).
So, today I thought I'd share the polyvore sets that I done recently...

Grown Up Goth: A peek into

Today, I present a peek into my ever changing style. Entitled 'grown up goth' because I in fact was a 'goth' for quite a while.
I was very reluctant to change my style, I wasn't into fashion as much as I am now and there definitely wasn't any other style that appealed to me.
And that style was the one I fell in love with, so I wanted to keep as much of it as possible. But maybe kind of 'upgrade' it and that's what I mean by 'grown up goth' - It's similar, just more grunge and romantic/Victorian elements.

I shall go from head to toe - I made some polyvore sets earlier for clearer examples and ideas.

Tops;

Black Lace Sleeveless Contrast Shirt
$56 - topshop.com

Miss selfridge
18 GBP - missselfridge.com

My general palette is black, red & white - I love stripes, lace & draping. I look for tops with detailing and abstract prints but also that destroyed, burnt look. & I'm very into collars right now.

Jewellery;

Chain jewelry
$28 - topshop.com

TopShop metal jewelry
$60 - topshop.com

Cord Through Chain Collar
$28 - topshop.com

As much as I love rings, I can't wear them. I just can't get on with them. So I stick to bracelets and necklaces. But mostly necklaces, because my wrists are impossibly small and things just fall off of them.
Luckily, you can get some amazing necklaces. I tend to go for big, statement and highly detailed necklaces.
Skulls, chains & spikes are my favourites.


Bottoms - Shorts;

Distressed Shorts by MistyChaos featuring denim shorts

Secret;BB distressed denim shorts

Ksubi denim shorts
$125 - net-a-porter.com

PRPS cotton shorts
155 GBP - brownsfashion.com

TopShop hot shorts
$70 - topshop.com

I chose to do a polyvore set of shorts because of the current season and the impossible amount of shorts that are in my wardrobe. I do wear skirts & jeans. But usually; I wear shorts and tights in summer and jeans in winter.
I tend to make my own shorts. I cut my jeans into shorts and customize them with studs and patches.
But there are some awesome shorts out there right now!

Tights & Socks;

Socks & Tights by MistyChaos featuring lace tights

Miss Selfridge nylon stocking
10 GBP - missselfridge.com

Miss Selfridge black socks
8.50 GBP - missselfridge.com

Black cotton socks
$8 - topshop.com

I love tights! I love how many different styles you can get now. I own and look for; lace and lace detailed, striped, detailed & single colour tights. And knee high, cable knit & lace ankle socks.

Shoes;

Flats; Boots. Wedges. Platforms. by MistyChaos featuring wedge high heels

Peep toe wedge
$140 - topshop.com

Irregular Choice wedge high heels
$240 - solestruck.com

Jeffrey Campbell stretch boots
$265 - solestruck.com

Leather shoes
$140 - topshop.com

Klein White Contrast Toe Lace Up Brogues
$110 - topshop.com

I tend to stick to flats, wedges & platforms. I think I get weak ankles off my mother. Cause I can't walk in heels to save my life.
I love and own boots more than anything I think. But I equally love oxfords, wedges & creepers.
Jeffrey Campbell & Irregular Choice are probably forever my favourites.


I hope you enjoyed a look into my style. And liked the polyvore sets too! ♥
