C'est La Vie - Wednesday Want

I may be watching too much of The Big Reunion on ITV 2. I may be a little too exciting for the LG Arena tour in May and maybe reliving my youth with the catchy pop songs and disastorous outfits ( Bewitched's double denim to be exact). Or I may just be bang on trend and persusaded by my own blog post yesterday but yes.... I am wanting a denim shirt this Wednesday.

These are my favourite high street pieces so far. I love detail so the Miss Selfridge jewelled collar shirt and the Topshop Moto one are high contenders right now.

I have been hesitating for some time on this purchase because I am not sure I would end up getting the wear out of it or end up styling it how I envisage it. So, as always, I have been doing my research and found this outfit inspirations on Pinterest which are tempting me and thought I would share some of these cool outfits.

 

 Anyone got any styling tips for me?

Outfit post

Just a quick outfit post today of what I wore yesterday. Now, first of all, the photos don't really do it justice but I am currently in the process of finding a new photographer so these phone pics will have to do.

I brought this simple long black dress from Missselfridge the other day and love it! I kept walking back to it and decided for £20 to take the plunge and buy it. Its so comfy due to its t-shirt like material and rather flattering to the figure too. I think I could get a lot of wear out of it in all seasons ; winter grunge with boots and layers and summer with flip flops and a denim jacket - or how I am trying to justify it to myself anyway!

Yesterday I decided to rock it up with my converse, my chunky gold necklace from French Connection at Asos (£18 in the sale, it has served me well) an old Missselfridge scarf and my leather jacket, also from Missselfridge! I don't normally go for a mid length skirt, I'm normally  a mini or to the floor type of girl but I wanted to try something different and even though it is only a subtle change, I am glad I did it.

My hair was messy waves from the day before with my new Topshop lipstick shade 'Lips in Inhibition' to add to the rocky feel.

Spending splurges: #4 Jewellery special

Yes, I am still rattling through some recent spending splurges despite currently being on a lock down. To be honest something quite miraculous has happened which makes the post just a tad more interesting. I have spent a hefty amount of my recent wages on jewellery. Yes I said it, jewellery. I am serious. For all those of you are a bit confused by this statement, staring at the screen doing an unimpressed 'yer and?' sort of look -this is big news. Let me explain.

I may have mentioned this before but I normally avoid parting with my cash on accessories due to the cost. I love necklaces, rings mostly and bracelets. I AM a magpie to all things shiny and sparkly but I just find the cost of it unjustifiable. I am a clothes junkie and would much rather that £15 go towards a new top than a sparkly chain or similar. Fact is I am being completely ignorant to fashion. We all know accessories can transform an outfit and this is a big lesson I have learnt recently. And I've gone crazy. Ok, so a little confession, all these purchases have been influenced by red sale stickers helping ease the pain but nevertheless, I have invested and my accessory hooks are bulging by the day. So take a look and let me know what you think. You may notice a few from my previous posts but I have put them all together to highlight my spending splurge. I am officially over the jewellery virgin label. Someone pass me a gold medal!

I am really getting into the 'cross' trend and have about 3 cross rings in total now. I have been wearing the Outfit multi cross chain quite a lot, I love the turquoise and white crosses that have been added to the typical gold chain and the funnel shape is really flattering on plain tops. My biggest disappointment was the layered wire Topshop ring. Ok, so its a cheapy but I was still shocked with it tarnishing after just a few wears.  I think I can just about get away with wearing it and maybe flog it as a new jewellery colour? 

Whats your favourite from my collection? Any jewellery magpies out there?
