50's PENCIL DRESSES FOR THANKSGIVING!

Yep, I celebrated Thanksgiving for the first time this year, so it only felt right to dress up accordingly! I wore this lovely red satin pencil dress which I picked up from a Charity Shop in oxford for £10. Its fab, and so comfy to wear! I teamed it with some cheap heels which are just the right side of high heels! I popped on top this lovely fur trimmed jacket, which was also second hand from a charity shop but is originally from Warehouse. I accessorised simply with some sparkly earrings and this diamante matching cross and chain! a viola! x

WEARING A MEN'S WHITE SHIRT AS A DRESS!

I look like a moody bum again don't I! doh... I would'nt mind, this pic was taken last Saturday when I had a lovely day planned so no reason for such sour faces! I wore this for a day of Go-Karting, followed by shopping at Cheshire Oaks. Lets just say I enjoyed the latter part of the day more than the first! hehe.
Anywho, My outfit consists of these lovely black velvet leggings, teamed with a vintage black polo neck. Over the top, I wore this mans shirt which I cut the sleeves off and frayed. It cost me £6 from Peacocks and was actually for a recent fashion shoot which I styled which I did'nt end up using. To glam it up a bit, I added my fave versace belt and some cheap vintage beads, and popped up the collar to make it a bit less manly! x

A £4 FLORAL MAXI DRESS FROM WAREHOUSE!

I hope you all had a mucho dandy weekend? I started and ended mine at the Manchester Christmas markets, which I loved! with some Go-karting, Antiques shopping and a trip to Cheshire Oaks thrown in for good measure- where I picked up this bargainous £4 dress from Warehouse- not too shabby hey! I teamed it with some comfy black boots from Varanni in Manchester, this chunky grey belt from Ebay and this vintage necklace which I really should wear more often, and I have matching earrings to also. I can't for the life of me remember buying them so I think it was a presnt. I also popped on my fave black sequin ring from a MFN sample sale. Now, back to work... and reality after a fun filled 2 days off :(... doh.

FESTIVE MINI'S, A VINTAGE SHIRT & LAYERED LEGGINGS!

I wore this yesterday as I was feeling all festive with the Christmas Markets opening in Manchester! How festive is velvet... and green velvet at that!! I got this fab lil Green mini skirt from the clothes swapping party last week! I teamed it with this much loved vintage shirt from Retro Rehab- which matches perfectly! Bonus!!! I wore 2 pairs of tights, as it was cold and I love to layer it up! Both pairs are from New look- one is bright blue with sparkle and then some lace ones over the top. I'm wearing brown boots too- just to add even more colour! 
I had a great day in the office and then onto a promo event at Room, and onto the Christmas markets for my first mulled wine of the season! Now, where's my fur coat... I'm off to start the weekend at the markets again! Have a good one peeps! x

LIME (NOT YELLOW) AND HOT PINK FUSION!

I wore this last Saturday night for a mucho fun Engagement party and then onto Mint Lounge in the Northern Quarter. A great time was had, except for my aching party feet from dancing the night away.
So, This tres fabulous Lime green Gaga style dress is from ASOS but I got it from a clothes swapping party that day! I did debate with many people on the colour of the dress... and so I think like me, you will agree it is in fact Lime... and not yellow!
Anywho, as Lime ( and not yellow!) goes so well with hot pink, I donned some hot pink accessories including these satin armlets from Ebay, a vintage 80s belt from a Manchester Fashion Network Event and these vintage pink beads. I wore my high sine black leggings and high heel witchy boots, which I truly loathed by the end of the night!

LASHINGS OF PURPLE!

I'm really into purple at the moment, which may be because Christmas is fast approaching! Only 37 days to go! ;) I'm honestly so excited, I get butterflies!!!
Anywho, this outfit is a bit creative in the fact I've layered 2 pairs of leggings for a purple lace effect, Im wearing a black top I've had donkeys years and still love- with a cheap £5 dress from Shout, and this lovely purple skirt with gold buttons from New Look over the top, which I bought from a car boot sale for £3 and altered to fit me as it was initially far too big! I accesssorised with some big black and gold earrings from Hub and my Biba gold bracelet with my fave high heel lace up witchy boots. I matched my eyeshadow with purple accordingly and then I went out for a fabulous meal at my friends house, where we stayed up chatting until 2am... on a school night too... tut tut Leesa.

SOMEONE ELSES OUTFIT!

Yep, this really is someone else's outfit. I wore a black Pretty Disturbia drips dress with a suit jacket on Saturday to go to a Clothes swapping party, and so I came home in this- some of the goodies I picked up there! The animal print jeans are fab, I don't usually do jeans but I think these are fun and funky so an exception! The silver top is fab, although you can see my bra through it now I realise! hehe. I accessorised with this aqua belt and a chain belt which I wore as a necklace. The Biba bracelet and brown boots are both mine! I really can't recommend clothes swapping parties enough, as its good free, productive fun and can really revamp your wardrobe!
