Black Leather

Wasn't the weather so nice today? It was actually considerably warm for England (no jacket required). I'm hoping the sun is going to last (fingers crossed) but looking at the weather forecast, it seems as if it's going to be slightly cooler the next few days. I'm really (so so much) excited to go and see Two Door Cinema Club this Saturday though, so all is good!

These fake leather shorts were a recent purchase from ebay (£3.99). They're originally from H&M so you obviously can't expect them to look quite as good as the proper vintage versions you can find but I don't think they look too bad. I'm also wearing a shirt I received from my grandma and the necklace was bought on holiday. Last year I broke my sunglasses - it was devastating - and I've been searching for a replacement pair for a while. I find it really difficult to find sunglasses that actually suit me so I picked out a pair pretty much exactly the same as my old ones but from River Island (my previous ones I had found in a vintage market). I'm still not completley sure about them yet, (hence me resting them on my head rather than wearing them properly) but hopefully as we go into summer I'll get used to them.

What do you think of my outfit? Are you doing anything this weekend?

Contrasting

I'm currently mourning the loss of my phone (I can't find it anywhere) so I'm feeling a bit lost without it at the moment. However, excluding that, the first week back at school is going well so far - the sun definitely makes a difference!

Do you like my new garden scenery? It's certainly a change to the wooden wall I normally take photos up against. Also, it was rather windy while taking these photos hence my hair flying it different directions! So the skirt was from ebay (really cheap again - about £4). I adore the print and colours so much and I love how it contrasts with the black shirt (from ebay, also in this post).

Gold Roses

I used to wear variations of this outfit all of the time a while ago and I'd forgotten how much I loved it. The jacket was something that used to be in my Mum's wardrobe and has now added to my collection. It's such a lovely stand out piece. Underneath this, I'm wearing a blue top which is actually just a cardigan turned the wrong way around. I haven't worn it this way for a while (it's been far too cold) but it's a great piece for layering and adds a bit of colour to an outfit. The skirt, I bought on eBay (adjustments had to be made of course) for only £5. I also delved deep into my wardrobe today to find a pair of skin-coloured tights that weren't broken or laddered (miraculously I did!). I'm starting to get fed up of my usual grey or black tights so this better, sunnier weather is definitely a good thing for that!
