OOTD: You're on a different road, I'm in the milky way... :)

Today I seem to be rocking the granny shoes and socks look...

Dress: Forever 21

Top: Hype

Cardigan: Depop

Shoes: Topshop

Socks: Boots

I have worn these shoes a lot since I bought them, they've appeared in my last three OOTD posts now! So yes, I like them quite a lot! And Topshop has them in different colours... 😏

The flower garland in my hair was something that my friend gave me yesterday, and I really like it but I'm not sure where it's from. Although there's a stall in camden and I think they sell online too, called PoppyDaisy that have really nice flower headbands like this one 😊

Back-to-School: Lookbook

I'm a bit late with all the back-to-school series things, but here it is. I know a lot of schools can wear any clothes or have a full uniform but at my sixth form we have a dress code that says you have to be dressed smart, so either way, here's some ideas for you anyway!

I am fully aware of how cringey an iPhone-mirror selfie is and I am suitably ashamed of these pictures of myself...but as I seem to be late EVERY morning, this is the easiest way to get a photo of my outfit!

1. Glasses shirt: Forever 21

Black trousers: Primark

Moustache shoes: Primark 

Glasses and moustache necklace: Topshop

2. Sheer top with vest: American Eagle

Brown Skirt with belt: Primark

Cream frill socks: Topshop

Bag: Primark

The brogues are from a small shop near where I live

3. Sheer shirt: Fashion Avenue

Black Vest: Tesco

Cat print skirt: H&M

Black "cosy" tights: Primark

I NEED those tights in my life, they have a soft lining of brushed cotton and are SO warm! I wore them skiing and they kept me warm (well as warm as you can be in -14 degrees celcius...in the snow...on top of a mountain...)

4. Black coat: Primark

Top: see outfit 2

Assymetric skirt: H&M

And my cosy tights have made another appearance!

5. Stripey shirt: H&M

Trousers: see outfit 1

I did wear shoes -although I don't appear to have put them on yet!

6. Blue shimmery dress with brown belt: Primark (in the kid's section)

Blue and brown loafers: Primark

Blue spotty bag: Primark

7. Top: see outfit 2

Brown with shimmery thread skirt: Topshop

Silver belt: New Look

The scarf I "borrowed" from my Mum's wardrobe (hehehe...)

Although, on this day I was told my outfit was innapropriate as my skirt was "too short" and "too sparkly" (can't say i disagree to be honest) so yeah maybe don't try this one...

8. Glasses shirt: see outfit 1

Black skater skirt: eBay

9. Green floral dress: Primark

Cardigan: Depop

Cream frill socks: see outfit 2

Brogues: see outfit 2

Bag: see outfit 2

And I made the flower headband

That's a few of my outfits over the last few weeks then! PEACE ✌

How to: Updo Hairstyles

Here are some tips and ideas for a few of my favourite updo hairstyles!

Ponytail:

I left my hair natural after washing it but brushed some of the curls out, and parted it as normal which for me is fairly central but just slightly to one side. Then i took the front sections on either side, twirled them tightly backwards and clipped behind my ears. To finish, I tied my hair in a ponytail at the base of my head.

If your hair isn't curly then I would loosely roll it with a curling wand and brush it through, also if you need to, add some volume spray and backcomb the hair at the back before tying the ponytail up.

Side Plait:

Again, I left my hair natural but brushed a lot of the curls out of it so it was wavy. Pretty simply, I pulled all the hair to one side and plaited it normally. Then I pulled some hairs loose to sit around my face.

And...if you're hair isn't wavy/curly add some salt spray or texturising moose.

High Ponytail:

I straightened my hair and parted it more to the side than I usually would, pulled it all backwards and upwards to a ponytail and tied it up tightly; making sure that I left some volume in the front. To finish it, I pulled a strand of hair out above my ear et voila!

Grecian Style:

This worked well on my hair when it was natural but not newly washed. I parted it just slightly to one side and twirled each side loosely and pinned it backwards towards the back of my head. Then I used A LOT of bobby pins to get the rest of my hair in place, and rolled all my hair from the bottom up inwards and clipped it all to the base of my head, and twas done!

That's it then!

OOTD: I got chills, they're multiplyin'!

Apart from literally feeling winter approaching....I felt kinda 50s-ish in this outfit, which explains the title for this post! And here it is...

Jumper: Primark

Shoes: Topshop

Socks: Primark

And the jeans are actually jeggings from Primark a very long time ago...I roll up the bottoms (yes, because I'm too short for anything) but it actually does make them look more expensive.

As always, thanks for reading and hope you like it! MWAH!
