we have neither the plans nor disguises



coat; forever21 / shirt; vintage / leggings; eBay / flatforms; asos / necklace; h&m / earrings; topshop/ lipstick; estee lauder plum couture.

need to acknowledge the state of my hands; I'm not self harming, it's my kitten! stop with the formspringzzz


Hii! I'm a bad blogger aren't I? I swear that's all I ever type in my posts. I had some personal stuff I had to sort out which is why I've been absent of late, plus, I just find I don't have time when I'm at uni. I'm always hungover or napping, sorry! I am SO grateful to have hit 550 followers already though, that's more than one new subscriber every day this year! So thank you for following and sticking with my sporadic ways :)! (are smiley faces blog appropriate? probably not...)

So, I got this coat in Forever21 a fair few weeks ago. I saw it was a small and tried it on, but it was huge. I fell in love with the oversized sort of 90s look about it though (I've had a lot of This is England comments...) and it wasn't until I'd been wearing it for a fortnight that I realised it was a mans coat; oops. If anything though, it's taught me to shop in mens section more often; this was only £12.99 in the sale! I adore my flatforms which I got with a 25% discount code on ASOS; can't stop wearing them! They're just like the Office ones I've been lusting after since I saw the beautiful Charlene wearing hers, but I couldn't afford the hefty price tag, so I'm dead pleased ASOS answered my wishes for a pair; in suede too, my favourite material.

OH HAIIII DISCO PANTS! Not really lolz. Everyone's going mad for them, and although I do like them, I don't know where the sudden hype has come from? They've been around for literally about ten years. I've had these eBay versions for probably a year now (still available via LetsParty, I also have the burgundy and lilac (!) ) but I never wear them as I tend to only wear tights and skirts, but I do really like these with my flatforms. I've worn this outfit three times this week; that's gross isn't it? But it's just so easy to throw on. I actually have three pairs of leggings on here and two long sleeved tops under that shirt, so it's surprisingly cosy. I can see myself teaming more longer tops with leggings from now on - but don't worry; I will NOT be sporting that leggings as trousers look any time soon. Anyway, I'm boring myself. Hope everyones uni results are going well! I get mine a week today, nervous! Oh and if you're a real person and work; HEY WEEKEND :D!

  7. Obviously not the attention of this post AT ALL, but the mirror behind you is pretty cool. I don't get the disco pants hype either, I mean, I'm a massive AA fan, but where has this come from?! Regardless, you look fab, and I want your hair. xxx

  14. I love the coat, if it wasn't oversized it wouldn't look as good! I look in mens sections all the time haha - Topman is especially good for the cheaky aztec! I also love your short necklace under your collar, I love that look xx

  15. I love this outfit :) I'd love the disco pants too but £70 for leggings is ridiculous! Your version is much more subtle and wearable :)

  18. Love the coat, mens section really does have some hidden gems. Beaut flatforms and nails too! I agree with you on the disco pants, I remember first wanting some about 5 years ago but always being like hell no to the price, suddenly they're everywhere! Still want some though, yours are a lovely alternative though!
