Back to Basics



Top - Bozzolo
Midi skirt - Topshop
Shoes - New Look

A lovely sunny Sunday with a missing much needed pair of cats eye sunglasses (I have a fantastic pair from Asos which have gone walkies now the sun is back out...). I love this top because it is very figure hugging, whilst at the same time flattering the wobbly bits you don't want to showcase. I found it in TK Maxx a month or so ago for PENNIES, and although I've not stumbled across the same one again, TK still stock a tonne of Bozzolo lace tops. The skirt was a Topshop find (sorry for the creases, I've moved in with my boyfriend and my stuff has taken place in the bottom of a wardrobe) but Missguided stock pretty much the same jersey skirt for £16 less. I have about 4 of these Topshop midi skirts, all in bold colours and prints. A must have key piece that's incredibly comfy too.
The shoes are tan suede wedges, after Luke had finished overtime we rushed off to a car boot (where we found nothing) so the heels were kicked off and replace with a pair of white low top converse. A basic outfit that can be dressed up or down.

Jumpsuit or Onesie?









Jumpsuit - Glamorous
Nike Air Max 1's - JD Sports (These ones were Youth's, hurrah for small feet!)
Fly Necklace - New Look

After seeing The Little Magpie's post here showcasing this "casual jumpsuit" (which is a more fashion friendly term I have adopted for, let's face it, a onesie), I couldn't resist frantically searching for my debit card to get them. At the moment Glamorous have got free next day delivery if you order before 4pm Mon-Thurs, and there's also a 20% student discount.
My package came the next day, as promised, and at first I was a little surprised at how wide they were at the waist and hips but no fear! The fabric isn't stretchy and there is a tie drawstring waist to bring it in a little. They're a thinner fabric too so it's perfect for the pre-autumnal weather right now, and when the temperature drops, they look great with a fitted leather jacket. You can dress them up a little like Amy, with flatforms, or you can take my approach and team them with a pair of super comfy Air Max 1's.
