BAGGY TROUSERS, WITH LACE AND A TOUCH OF EGYPT!

A weird and wonderful description of an outfit indeed!... I wore this on Friday for a Christmas date which started out at the Ballet exhibition at the Lowry- The Quays and then onto a night in Chester, which was magical! The outfit consists of this gorgeous cream lace/ knitted polo neck top which I bagged up from Elite Dress agency in Manchester for £20. I teamed it with these fabulous wide leg trousers from All Saints which were £50 and I accessorised with a lovely, big, jangly necklace from Egypt as well as my much loved Galliano belt from Flannels which was £45 in the sale! For once, I'm not wearing something from a Car boot sale! ;)

BEADED CAPES, BODY CONS AND BIG HAIR!

As you can tell, I felt festive again! I wen't out to Tiger Lounge and for a chinese last weekend and wore this little black body con from H&M- £15, teaming it with this stunning beaded silver and black cape which I picked up from a car boot sale for just £5!!!  It's the first time I wore it even though I've had it years! I matched it with these gorgeous silver sparkly tights and my lil high heel witchy boots! I did dark eye make up with pale pink lippy and did big 80s stylee hair, using my diffuser and some major back combing! Ta da!!!

WHITE FLUFFY JUMPERS WITH VINTAGE SKIRTS!

Soooo... I wore this yesterday as I wanted to layer up and keep warm but felt festive! Thus the lovely white fluffy jumper, which I got from a car boot sale for just £2! I wore it over a cheap cream polo neck top and teamed it with this fabulous vintage stripe skirt, which I bought as a suit from a Charity Shop- when pieced with the jacket its very geek chic!! I wore grey marl leggings from New Look and some point brown boots to match my brown velvet vintage belt from Rags to Bitches in Manchester! I also bunched my hair up bjork stylee, which was great but not practical when walking round Manchester in blistering cold winds! doh. Methinks I need to add some earmuffs to my Christmas list!...

DOLLY PARTON STYLE DENIM!

How Dolly Parton is this shirt? I saw it in a Charity shop and could'nt make up my mind if I loved it or hated it! I decided it was that bad, it was good so happily paid £7 for it! Not only is stone wash denim, it has applique flowers, metallic stitching, studs and coloured beading, as well as batwing sleeves! Kitsch indeed. I teamed it simply with a long black top and flared full circle jeans which I got from and MFN sample sale as the shirt says it all! I wore brown cowboy boots and back combed my hair, 80's style to finish off the look and wen't out for some good ol' Sunday car boot shopping to buy more vintage goodies.....

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
