Outfit #68 - Back to School

My personal style is definitely more about expression my individuality than following fashion and trends. I do love fashion though, and every once in a while a trend comes along that I can't resist buying into. Kilts this season was one of those, upon discovering that kilts are "in" for A/W 2013 I made it a mission to find a nice kilt on my London trip. I am quite happy with this one from Next. It's a bit shorter than is usual for me which is a fun change, the grey, black and red tartan works with things i already own, and i like the zipper details. Style success!

Outfit #67: Autumn Colours

I think sometimes it's okay to take your fashion references pretty literally. I bought this shirt at Goodwill during the summer, but definitely had to save it to wear in the the cooler weather. It makes a pretty fantastic Autumn outfit.

Shirt: Goodwill
Skirt: Value Village
Shoes: Winners

Outfit #66 - How do you wear a denim shirt?

I bought a denim shirt at Uniqlo when i was in London and i LOVE it. It fits well, it's comfortable, and i do like the aesthetic of it. But it's proving to be a bit difficult to work into my wardrobe. I think that it may be partly to do with the dark wash, since I wear a fair bit of navy and black and maybe it clashes a little bit. I may also need to get over my obsession with tucking everything in. I think the outfit below worked okay, but I could use a few suggestions.

Outfit #65 - Lace is More

I'm not gonna lie, i stole the lovely pun in this post's title from one of my friend's Pinterest boards.

I love this lace zip-up, i really like how it love interesting and edgy rather than delicate and pretty which is how lace usually looks, and also how i tend to dress a lot of the time. It's fun to try something different!

Also really loving bright red lipstick at the moment!

Zip-Up: Dorothy Perkins
Pleated Skirt: American Apparel

Outfit #64: All Grown Up

Hello! I know it's been aaaaaaaages...truth be told I just ran out of summer outfits to post. But it's finally Autumn, and I got back from London a couple of weeks ago where I did some shopping, so I will have some new outfits to share over the next little while.

I am trying to dress a bit more like an adult for work, also including wearing some makeup to work most days, and this outfit was an attempt at that. I don't know if I look more like an adult but I think it's a nice outfit.

Dress: Uniqlo
Tights: M&S
Boots: Dr. Martens
Belt: Value Village
