So you remember the beautiful Hobbs skirt that I bought from a charity shop in the last post? Well here is is in person! I really love a good pencil skirt as they lengthen your legs, make your hips look smaller and make your bum look amazing! I particularly love the colour of this one, it relates back to one of my first posts on here ‘Smart Burgundy’!! I do love burgundy, its very autumnal and cosy.

So with my beautiful tailored skirt, I have tried to dress it down a little with a printed burnout vest from River Island. I love it because it has a large abstract skull and (my fave) studs!

As you can see, it has a teeny bit of green and burgundy in with the print which works nicely with my skirt. I love picking out little accent colours. Over the top of it all I have added in my New Look leather jacket, with its feminine shape but tough, leather outer.

My! The skirt looks super red in this picture! So, the belt! It is actually two belts layered on top of one another. One is just an elastic belt with poppers at the back and the other is a black leather belt from River Island. It was just plain leather, but I have recently got myself a little studding kit from a charity shop and have been studding away to make everything a little more updated in my wardrobe!! I think I am in love with it! It is so easy that anyone could do it, I’ll have to do a post on it for you all :)

I love this look, it is elegant and feminine but can be worn quite casually around the shops or to a lunch date. Just swap in a blouse instead of a vest for the office, or swap in an oversized tee and some boots for a more casual look. The pencil skirt is so versatile!

With thanks to my bestie, Gracie, for helping me take the photos. I’ll include her more in my next outfit posts so you can keep track of her style too!!

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a lovely Pancake day and Valentines day! I ate sooo many pancakes!

Last weekend me and my girls Grace and Aimee went on a journey to Harpenden! This is out favourite charity shopping location and we usually find plenty of vintage items to quench our bargain thirst!

Harpenden is one of those places where wealthier old people tend to live and retire, so (and it sounds horrible, but) there tends to be some nice old lady items going for sale in charity shops, which makes us happy! But sad for the old ladies!

Caught in the act of buying beautiful goods!

Now, Grace being a photographer, she kindly recorded the day of fun for me, and took some lovely pics of my outfit as we raided Harpenden! The weather was cloudy and looked like it would rain at any moment! This did not deter me from wearing just a jacket! Infact its my favourite leather jacket! Bought from cheap old New Look, it is one of the best purchases from there I have ever made!

I have added my H&M fur stole to the jacket, mainly for warmth but boy does it look good too! The striped skirt and the polka dot tee are both also H&M! Giving me a nice monochrome but patterned look!

Now to add in some colour I have draped an Accessorise green pendant around my neck and added in one of my old lady charity shop bags. It was only 99p!!!

Yeah, so I’m wearing my old faithful boots again! I can’t help it I love them too much! They make my legs look longer! Haha! So all in all its a little bit of a sexy outfit for going around charity shops but ah well! It gives me a bit of a thrill!

Look this letterbox matches my bag!!

So what did I buy from the Charity shops? Well not that much this week, but they sure are pretty, behold!

So I got this beautiful little white granny bag, which has a clasp in the middle and two zip pockets to either side, making it really quite roomy and boxy (which I LOVE). I bought it for £4.99, and for being a white bag, we found it in amazing pearly white condition! The only part that needs a clean is the inside, but not much at all! The other purchase was a lovely burgundy pencil skirt. I tried it on in the shop to test it out and it made my bum look pretty sweet! So I bought it as it was only a fiver! It was an original Hobbs skirt, so good quality stuff too!
