overgrown

picnikfile_zFXW98



beaded cardigan; topshop / star print shirt (worn as dress); primark / black bodycon dress worn underneath; h&m / tights; topshop (I think, or maybe new look?) / shoes; topshop / bag; topshop / necklace; fashionsterotype / rings; eBay / ear cuff; urban outfitters.


I absolutely LOVE this shirt. I couldn't believe it when I saw it in Primark, I remember something really similar in Topshop a couple of years ago and falling in love, so when I saw it was only £8 I snapped it up - and the nude version too! You'll no doubt see that one soon. I bought them in size 10s so they would be an even baggier fit than intended, as well as longer so that I can wear them as dresses. I even coordinated my necklace to it by wearing one of my favourite pendants - a gorgeous star with a piece of rose quartz in the centre which my Mum gave me. I've got a few moon, star and sun shaped pieces, I love them, I'm such a hippy child at heart - I blame my Mum!

I haven't worn this cardigan in absolutely ages but I've rediscovered it and it's not leaving my back now! Don't you just love it when that happens? I bought it ages ago full price but decided it wasn't worth £50, then I saw it in the sale and uhmed and ahhed for ages as I always do, then when I decided I wanted it - they'd cleared the sale away! I ended up asking if they could go and get me it from the stock room and they only had a size 14 left, my Mum treated me to it (which sounds pretty standard, but I NEVER ask my mum for anything and she only really buys me stuff for my birthday and Christmas - I'm too independent!) and I think it was about £18? I love the oversized fit and the itchy material! And with the beads and the stars I felt a bit like the galaxy had thrown up on me, but I do love this outfit, I'll definitely be wearing it again.

I hate that middle photograph, but I didn't know how else to show you my new ear cuff thingamajig, it goes around my ear - bit scared it's going to fall off though and I wont realise until it's lost! And before you say it, I know I have freakishly small ears! I reckon it's because I was stupidly premature being a twin and all. Also, I definitely haven't ombre-ed my hair, the ends really are SO much lighter though. It's been like this for ages but I think the sun really picks it up. I think it's just where the sun has lightened my hair and it's grown out, I like it though - which makes it more of a shame that I got my hair cut after this! :( I'm not sure I like it yet but I had some pictures taken using my boyfriends new lens tonight so I might show you tomorrow if I'm feeling brave...! I've had a good 4 inches off :( Hope it grows back soon!

Hope you all enjoy your weekend! I might even post a Sunday Shoes this week...! And thank you for all the lovely comments on my last post and hello to all of my new readers! And old ones, of course :)

  1. Hello! You look gorgeous and I <3 the outfit- I like mixing up patterns too. I remember the print you mean in Topshop- yeah it was super cute.
    Haha, I didn't even notice that your ears were small, and even when I looked back I didn't think they were freakish at all! Mine are defo disproportionately small for my head and I don't have the excuse of being a twin... or premature! Thanks for entering my give-away. Finger's x'd xx
