I Heart Boucle Jackets | QueenBeady

Boucle Jacket Boohoo Boutique (eBay) | Top New Look (eBay) | Skirt H&M (eBay) | Shoes Primark

Yes. As you guessed it from the title, I love a good boucle jacket & this one is not to be ignored! As you know I spend A LOT of my spare time browsing through eBay trying to find all the trends at a fraction of the price. Some say I am ‘’The Thrifty Shopping Queen’’ and it’s a title I quite like thank you very much.

When I won this jacket for a mere £2.99 (plus postage!) I was more than excited to try it on and wear it out. I love the blue & white porcelain style to it, the jacket is a little different to what you would find on the high street & that is one of the main reasons I love it! I don’t like to wear something that is off the shelf and readily available and if I do I like to give it my own twist.

I paired it with a little crop top and lace cream skirt to keep it quite cute and girly! I love the way my heels completely elongate my legs (Yep, I think I just got a cheeky #ILoveMyselfBecause… hashtag in there!)

All in all this outfit came under £20 and I think it is great for a lovely lunch date or even office wear! The jacket is so versatile and could jazz up any outfit!

How would you style this jacket?

Zebra Print | QueenBeady

Hat eBay | Dress Primark | Shoes Primark

This has to be one of the cutest outfits I have at the moment. Period. As soon as I saw this dress on the sale rail in Primark I just knew I had to have it. The cut out shoulders give it that little extra edge but it’s still playful with the Zebra pattern. Ever the thrifty shopper I picked this up for a mere £5 and have already worn it to the Ella Eyre gig in Leeds last week.

Another steal were these amazing faux snake/crocodile skin pumps that I have seen on Instagram a lot. These are a dupe of Zara’s version but look just the same (albeit the quality may not be as long lasting!), I found them tucked away in a dark corner of the shelf and surprisingly they had a size 5 left. Not only that they were only £5! With that, I swiped them in to my basket and headed straight for the check out. I was not going to miss out on these babies!

My bowler hat is from eBay (China) and only cost about £2 which I think finished this quirky look off perfectly. I can imagine wearing this next year at Leeds Festival because it was just super comfy. To create a winter look I have already paired it with some thick black tights, boucle jacket and my chelsea boots.

I am so happy with these little treats I’ve picked up. Have you managed to get these from Primark recently?

Jumpin’ Jack Flash | QueenBeady

Leather Jacket Quiz | Necklace Topshop | Jumpsuit C/O Wal-G | Heels New Look

When the Wal-G package landed on my doorstep I was ready to get my game face on and style something that is a little bit unusual to what I would normally style. I was sent the pale green jumpsuit, which, in all fairness isn’t something that wouldn’t tend to flatter my rather large bosom nor my hips which subsequently resemble a woman who should have given birth to 100 children by now.

Ever the optimist I set to it by digging out my leather jacket to give it a slightly edgier feel & I must say I was pretty happy with the results. Rather than draw unwanted attention to certain areas of my body it accentuated them which I was most pleased with. Add a pair of barely there heels to create a sophisticated, glamorous look! I accessorised with a thick, chunky necklace from Topshop which completed this look.

The whole ”pyjama” style look is on trend at the moment so it felt great that I could actually rock this look despite my curvaceous figure! I say give it a go, you might be pleasantly surprised with the outcome!
How would you style it?

Swing low, Sweet chariot | QueenBeady

Dress Primark | Shoes Guess (eBay)

This.

This whole outfit is exactly what I have been looking for. You probably won’t believe me but this look cost me a grand total of £25. I know, you are all looking at the screen in awe? Yes, a whole twenty five English, Stirling pounds!

My shoes were a brilliant find on eBay and cost me only £20. They are perfect for sprucing up any outfit. Although the more I wear them, the less I can wear them. So that’s leaves a mere £5 for the dress, which is indeed correct! I picked up this dress in the Primark sale very recently and could not believe my eyes when I saw it hanging there.

I love the outfit because it has a really cute and feminine. I felt fabulous in it, quite sassy as a matter of fact! I will definitely wear this out to dinner next time the husband decides to wine & dine me. Which I do hope is soon as it’s my birthday this month! Wahoo!

Have you picked up any bargains recently that you are particularly proud of? I can’t wait to hear from you!

Autumn Colours | QueenBeady

Hat C/O The Hut | Dress Zara | Tights Primark | Chelsea Boots Barratts

Autumn is truly upon us, the nights are drawing in, the conkers are starting to fall (albeit ALL OVER our garden – insert angry emoji face here!) and there is a brisk chill in the air that’s making me itch to throw on my tights!

I bought this brown skater style Zara dress from eBay (again, a steal at 99p. I don’t know how I do it either?!) back in the summer months, however it was just too thick a material for me to wear it on those warmer days. So of course with the onset of AW it was time to bring it out from the back of my wardrobe and give it an outing! As a ‘’Curvy Lolita’’ (Yes, I really do refer to myself as that!) I find it really hard to pull certain styles of clothing off. But there is something about the skater style that is very forgiving, more for the fact it hides my hips! It is a really comfy outfit that I could wear shopping in the Christmas run-up or to the office, a versatile piece!
