Outfit Post - Posing in Patterns

Aztec Jumper- Camden market, Label reads 'happy'

Leggins - Topshop

Black Converses

Button Earrings - Gift from a friend

Here's a sneaky peak at the outfit I wore for the Blogger meetup on Saturday. If I had been sensible I would have worn wellies like Rachel. Instead I wore my new Converses that Chris bought me for Christmas. They are very comfy and they look pretty awsome, but I did get them rather soggy by treading in lots of puddles whilst trying to navigate my way to the place we were meeting at.

I bought the jumper in this post from The Stables Market in Camden.  If you haven't been you should definitely go, it is awesome. Lots of vintage shopping as well as some really lovely quirky handmade stuff! Plus there are loads of massive brass horses everywhere!

People seem to be liking my button earrings which my friend Jess bought me for my 25th Birthday. I think she said she bought them from Camden market too, but I can't quite remember. Perhaps she can remind me if she is reading this! I don't usually wear earrings a lot as I often forget to put them in, but of course this was a special occasion so I made an effort to remember!

I think I am getting quite good at looking wistfully off into the distance, it is a talent I have acquired with much practice! I don't quite know what is going on with my eyebrow in the third picture down though, I didn't even know I could do that!

Owl Necklace - A present from a friend

Here we go, I'm going to try another outfit post. This time though, I have enlisted the help of my trusty boyfriend Chris!

Do you ever feel that one new item of clothing can breathe life into your whole wardrobe? Well thats how I feel about this skirt!  It was a Christmas present from Chris' parents and I absolutely love it! It has forced me to dig deep into my wardrobe and drag out some tops that I haven't worn for years! I bought this top a really long time ago in the Topshop sale, but it matches the colour of the skirt perfectly!

I don't wear skirts very often but this one is so comfortable I want to wear it all the time! Also it is very good for twirling in. Evidence below...

I'm also getting more into my jewelry lately, as people keep giving me wonderful gifts! The lovely button ring was sent to me from Claire from Claireabellemakes as a thank you for guest posting on her blog while she was away. What a sweet heart! She even chose me the Aztec fabric especially, as she knows how fond I am of an Aztec print!

The owl necklace was given to me for my birthday by one of my best friends, and I think it is ever so sweet. I've also recently been given another owl necklace which is just as lovely but totally different from another friend. So i am sure that will be making an appearance soon too.

I tried something a bit different with my hair too. I just put it in a side pony, then I took a section of hair and wound it around the hair tie, then tucked it in round the back. It was easy to do and kept it all out of my face for the day, so I will definitely be trying that again!

Outfit Post - Collars and Colours

I thought I'd try something different today, so I present you with my first ever outfit post! I was inspired by my lovely new jumper from Asos, so I thought I would give it a go.

Jumper - ASOS

Jeans - Topshop

Elephant Ring - Urban Outfitters

Shoes - Brantanos
Glasses - Lensway

I must admit I had a bit of trouble taking photos of myself! It was very tricky trying to get a photograph in focus, and I ended up with slim pickings, which is why this post is quite accessories heavy! I think I'll get Chris to help me if I do another one.

Perhaps you can help me out with some tips if you do outfit posts yourself? Anyway, what do you think, should I make it a regular feature?
