202. It's a funny sort of day

Coat:  Vintage Collar Clips:  Home made - DIY Shirt:  Vintage Jeans:  New Look (Extremely old!) Shoes:  New Look/Charity Shop  

Hey there beauties!

 

Today I went for a little shopping spree with my Mum and my Nan and Grandad. We popped to B&M as we had never been before and I had seen the perfect bedside tables for my new room (more news on that soon!), so we thought we would explore! It is absolutely amazing in there, like The Range but cheaper! And I do love The Range. If you haven't been or heard of it already then check out the website here. The only downside is that you cannot order online which is a little annoying, so use the search bar to see if there is a store near you :)

 

Anyway, I was feeling rather casual but classic today and this is what I came up with. I usually always tuck in shirts or blouses into my bottoms as I think I look bigger than I am if I leave them hanging out (which is not good mixed with my short 5 foot height!), but I felt it kind of worked today. I have had these jeans for absolute jeans! Since I started working at New Look, which is over 5 years ago, so they are extremely old but I still love them! I thought I would add a little detail with my gold collar clips that I made using a pair of vintage earrings and a gold chain to attach. I still have plenty of earring left over so I will be selling them very soon on my Etsy store :) Lastly I finished with my white pointed shoes which have a low heel to give my outfit a classic, sophisticated look, and of course my vintage coat which I can not stop wearing!!

 

I don't know about you guys and where you live but the weather is really horrible at the moment! It's so muggy at hot, it's a job to know weather to even bother with a coat or not! I jolly hope the sun makes an appearance soon, I'm getting fed up of not knowing what to wear! ;)

197. That Spring smile...

Blouse:  Charity Shop Collar Clips/Clip-on earrings:  Charity Shop Necklace:  Gift Belt:  Vintage Skirt:  Vintage Shop in Paris  

Evening lovelies,

 

Here is today's look, rather fresh and Spring-like I feel :) I put this outfit together on a whim this morning and have actually fallen in love with it as it's so light and fresh and makes me dream of Spring (which should infact be here by now!!). I added the collar clips (clip-on earrings) on the tips of the collar on the blouse for detail as it matched one of the blue/green shades in the skirt. I often buy clip-on earrings from charity shops and use them as collar clips for a touch of detail. I have also sold a few which are attached by a chain and hopefully I will be putting more up for sale soon if anyone is interested?

 

I also love this sewing machine necklace which my Mum bought me for Christmas last year. It is so relevant to my life and my passion and I dream of owning a real vintage Singer sewing machine one day!

 

Anyway, I hope you guys like my outfit for today. I have a slightly different post planned for tomorrow so stay tuned for that :)

 

 

DIY Collar Clips

 

Hello lovelies! I made some collar clips today from vintage clip on earrings and a simple chain connecting the two. I will be selling these for £5 each including p+p, so who wants one?! I have only made the three below so far, two of which have been sold already, but I will be making many more in the up and coming weeks so keep a look out!
 

 

 

 

I other news, I have just booked a ticket to Paris next week for 2 nights with my friend Charlotte. We have both been to Paris before and the last time I went I found the most amazing vintage shops so this time we are off on the hunt to find these shops again and find more! If any of you lovelies found any vintage shops/markets if you've been to Paris please feel free to leave a comment so I can check it out! So excited! :D
