Red Nails, Monochrome Pants.

I wore this outfit for quite an exciting meeting I had this morning hopefully more of which I can divulge soon but for now I will show you what I wore! I love a monochromatic outfit with a pop of colour on the nails. It just feels so classy and chic.

I wanted to present myself as a put together and professional - not a slobby slob! These trousers were an H&M sale find that when I saw them I had to have. Reduced from £24.99 to £10, it was too good to resist really. They are a beautiful light fabric that is perfect for summer time and being a simple white with black print they go with pretty much anything. I am hunting down an orange tshirt/top to really set the print off.

 

Today I teamed them with a simple black linen tank also from H&M, my River Island watch and black pointy toe heels also H&M! Love H&M these days. I added my little pop of colour with Maybeline Colour Show nail polish in 341 Orange Attack. This colour is so beautiful for summer, with a tan and a pretty sun dress. Be gawjus dahling!

Patterns, Heels & Dresses

H&M is a little hit and miss sometimes. There are times I go in and I want everything and others when nothing jumps out at me and I leave empty handed and sad to not have some other item to add to my already bursting wardrobe.

These printed pants were on a Spring Offer. Originally £14.99 each, reduced to £7.49 each - bargain! I love trousers especially printed ones. I'm still figuring out how I want to wear them - the great tight vest top vs loose vneck tee debate is raging, it is tense! - I love the depth of the red print. They look more luxurious and a richer, heavier fabric rather than they actually are.  The black with white print will go with so much. I am searching for a orange tshirt to go with these, I think it would look amazing.

The next was a "I really shouldn't buy these but I am going to" moment - we all have these! These New Look pumps were a steal at £16 (Students get 20% off at the moment) and go with everything, pretty much! I plan on wearing them with this lace sundress from H&M. I didn't have dressy shoes that would go with it on a night out so I had to buy them! My bad...

The dress is just so girly and perfect. Totally not me but I love it with a bright clutch and a deep tan. Perfect. This dress comes in mint green too, I bought this but decided that I didn't need two of the same dress when we will probably have a week of summer sunshine!This dress is exceptionally hard to photography when not on the body but you get the general idea.

Happy Friday!

Black Velvet

 

This New Years Eve was the first one in ages that I have actually done something for it so obviously I meticulously planned my outfit then changed it completely at the last minute. Standard.  I had planned on wearing these Topshop trousers - link - but changed to my disco pants at the last minute teamed with my Zara velvet blazer - link - Zara heels and a cream camisole from River Island. Added some mahoosive Topshop earrings & an orange clutch and off I went into 2013! 

I am on the hunt for some tartan trousers, anyone seen any nice ones that aren't a fortune?

Just playing around

I mentioned these H&M trousers in an earlier post - link - I was debating whether to keep them or not as I wasn't sure about them but after an afternoon spent playing about with them I have come to the conclusion, I need them in my life. I have them on with my H&M fluffy jumper which has been a staple for me this autumn and winter but I think the trousers could look amazing dressed down with a simple tshirt, possibly my fur filet & some chunky boots.

£10 well spent I would say! H&M sale is so good at the moment, loads of good stuff to snap up.

Trousers & Books

 I haven't done an outfit post in what feels like forever basically I haven't really been wearing anything interesting or that I don't normally wear ... fallen into a bit of a rut I guess but New Year out of rut & all that....

I just wanted to check in, say hello & share 2 probably not interesting pictures with you. First up, H&M sale get there it is amazing. I am considering going back again to pick up some grey jeans I saw & really wish I had bought but don't fear I did not leave empty handed. I left with these gorgeous black & white patterned trousers which were a bargain at £10!! I was umming & ahhing over whether to keep them or not but I figured i might as well sure I will find things to wear with them. The feature I like the best has to be the black strip down the side of the legs, it just adds a nice little touch to the trouser.

This is my Christmas holiday reading material, British Vogue & The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald which I am so very close to finishing & have loved every page. I am a big reader particularly of older books - for want a of a better way to say that -  I am not a fan of chick-lit modern books, I guess I like the escapism of going to another time. Everything was so much more glamorous. *Sigh*

Happy Wednesday!
