Gold Roses

I used to wear variations of this outfit all of the time a while ago and I'd forgotten how much I loved it. The jacket was something that used to be in my Mum's wardrobe and has now added to my collection. It's such a lovely stand out piece. Underneath this, I'm wearing a blue top which is actually just a cardigan turned the wrong way around. I haven't worn it this way for a while (it's been far too cold) but it's a great piece for layering and adds a bit of colour to an outfit. The skirt, I bought on eBay (adjustments had to be made of course) for only £5. I also delved deep into my wardrobe today to find a pair of skin-coloured tights that weren't broken or laddered (miraculously I did!). I'm starting to get fed up of my usual grey or black tights so this better, sunnier weather is definitely a good thing for that!

Roses are Red

An outfit post for you today. I went to the sales at Westfield yesterday with some friends and managed to find a few good purchases. The two in this post are this really lovely red dress and some silver heels. The dress is from Urban Outfitters. I saw it about a month ago when it was full price, so was really happy to see it was reduced to £25. I just couldn't resist this dress. The fabric is amazing and I love the print as well. It's also very versatile and can be worn in a variety of different ways. This is actually the first thing I've bought from this shop but I've always loved their clothes (even though they're a tad overpriced). I've paired this dress with some shoes I bought from New Look. I didn't go out with the intention of buying another pair of heels but these were only £8! which I thought was a real bargain. I'm also wearing my spike necklace (see here). It's a very simplistic outfit (quite unusual for me) but I really love it! Sometimes wearing one simple garment can look the best.
