    Co-Ord Set C/O Blue Vanilla | Knee High Boots New Look | Clutch John Lewis | Watch Olivia Burton | Bracelet C/O Links of London

    Sometimes before I put on an outfit I look at it & I automatically pull one of those ‘’distressed emoji’’ faces. You know the ones I’m talking about, right? Will it fit me in the right places? Will I look like an ‘’Oompa Loompa’’? But then, then you put it on and all those fears are completely quashed because you have fallen on to an absolute winner. You also know that feeling, right? This is that outfit. I teamed this fabulous co-ord from Blue Vanilla with my brand new boots from the New Look Sale & clutch from the John Lewis sale, respectively. This is clearly going to be one of those staple, go-to outfits in the blustery, winter months we are having! I hope you are all wrapping up warm & keeping safe in these treacherous winds. I’m very much looking forward to the spring time, are you?

    Jacket Zara | Top Topshop | Jeans Topshop | Shoes New Look

    No, I’m not really suited & booted as such. But, I find that adding a simple structured jacket to an outfit can seriously set you apart in the style stakes. I probably sound very ”conservative” (whom, I would like to add I have no loyalties to!) when I say this, yes you can give a woman a pair of shoes & she will conquer the world as someone quite famous said, however, if you give a woman a structured jacket she will dominate.

    It was love at first sight when this Zara jacket arrived on my doorstep with all it’s tags on & packaged up, barely touched & not even sniffed at. It was another one of my fabulous bargains that I had swiped on eBay for a menial sum of money for such a good quality piece of clothing. I seem to be getting very good at that!

    I don’t always want to look too dressy but I want to be seen to making an effort, it’s just the way I’m engineered. So, I paired it with my Topshop Peter Pan collared short sleeve cotton shirt & a pair of Topshop Leigh Jeans (very forgiving!). There is something about an outfit like this that is so multifunctional for a number of events, from a day trip shopping with friends or even a meeting with work. I like outfits that can serve a multitude of purposes & this does just that.

    Have you got a go-to outfit that never fails you?

    S0102548 (2) Top H&M | Skirt C/O Poppy Lux | Watch Olivia Burton | Leopard Print Shoes New Look  I’ve always dreamed of owning my own walk-in wardrobe, so when Mr C’s Grandparent’s go on holiday twice a year I can play pretend. Whilst a striking resemblance to the girl out of the ‘’The Ring’’ is quite apparent in these photo’s it was time for me to play dress up. I am a huge fan of Breton stripes and own far too many of these tops to even care to suggest, but, when paired with a sparkly new skirt from Poppy Lux (sister brand to SugarHill Boutique) it seemed a match made in heaven? Now, I love this time of year as it becomes acceptable to wear a little bit of sparkle without feeling too guilty. After all, one of my main motto’s in life is ‘’leave a little sparkle wherever you go’’ and this skirt does exactly that. I teamed this look with my new Olivia Burton watch that the husband bought me for my birthday back in October – a firm favourite of mine! Not forgetting my new leopard print heels, an eBay session brought these to me. Now, you must excuse me whilst I head back up to the dressing room and play Princesses for a few more hours…

    Jacket C/O WearAll.com | Shirt Zara (eBay) | Trousers Topshop | Shoes New Look | Rings 770diamonds & Primark

    I adore paisley print. People may associate it with Festivals and a summer vibe but I don’t see why you can’t bring it 100mph in to Autumn? For me it’s a delicate print and all the different lines, swirls and mini patterns send me in to a wondrous frenzy because you never know where it will go.

    I recently picked up this gorgeous chiffon Zara shirt from eBay & I blagged it as cheap as chips. I was too excited to receive it & I gave it my first outing last week. I have to say I’m always a little cautious with shirts but this one fit just right and I felt fabulous in it.

    I teamed with my black leathers because why not? They a super flattering and elongate your legs. What more could you possibly want from a pair of trousers?

    My black barely there heels from New Look always manage to complete a look perfectly, probably because they are just so elegant and effortless.

    For those cooler nights I would wear a light jacket, purely because I get too hot with anything else. This zip detail waterfall jack from WearAll.com is perfect to just pop on over an outfit and I love the shape to it, it’s so slimming! It really creates that androgynous, tailored style.

    Last but not least, where would an outfit be without a little accessorising? I picked up these midi rings from Primark recently and I have found myself wearing them all the time! They complimented the darker, autumnal tones to the outfit.7

    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?
