Since I just had my
birthday, I’ve come into a lot of new clothes lately. I decided to create a
LookBook of everyday outfits to show off my lovely new stuff, maybe to inspire
a few of you, and to get my head around what I actually own and how I should even
be dressing myself. As you can see, this LookBook is vibrant and
colourful…NAAAHT. Black is d e f i n i t e l y my favourite colour, and
monochromes go with it so well. Wearing lots of black means I can jazz up my
makeup and hair a lot more, so I usually just gravitate towards very wearable,
pattern neutral garb. I filmed a LookBook for my YouTube channel, so feel free
to go and check that out too!
Look 1:
Jacket | TopShop Moto
Oversized Denim Jacket in Black £45
Top | Topshop ‘90s
Racerback Crop Top in Black £6
Jeans | Topshop Joni
Jeans £36
Boots | Office Vagabond
Dioon Boots £90
Bag | Primark Backpack £8
I love this look because
it is perfect for spring when the weather is a little bit iffy and you can’t
really trust it to stay warm and sunny. On top of that, I adore double denim
and this look somehow doesn’t make me look all ‘90s Britney and Justin
Timberlake-esque. The racer crop (which you can’t really see but it’s in the
video properly) is super flattering, and the oversized jacket can be pulled over
the top in the evenings when it starts to get cooler. As for the Vagabond
boots, I salivate every time I see them. They are grunge-chic and completely
amazing and comfy beyond belief, but they add about 2/3 inches onto my 5’3”
frame.
Look 2:
Top | NewLook Stripe Crop
Top £7
Skirt | NewLook Button
Front Skirt £8 (Generation 915 in the Sale!)
Boots | Office Vagabond
Dioon Boots £90
Bag | Primark Backpack £8
This is probably the most
‘done up’ look of the lot. I don’t do ‘dressing up’ very well, so even in this
outfit I feel a little bit princess. I love the new crop top I bought on my
birthday; it’s very stereotypical blogger and will fit right in on my YouTube
channel. The skirt is flattering and the perfect length for me. As for the
boots, again, they’re perfect. These boots actually go with almost any outfit I
wear, and I feel like they glam up anything. They were an eye-watering £90, but
I feel like it was a worthy investment.
Look 3:
Jumper | Boohoo Slash
Neck Crop Jumper £10
Jeans | Topshop Rip Knee
Joni Jeans £40
Boots | Office Doc
Martens £100
Bag | Tiger Tote Bag
£0.50p
Can we all just take a
minute to appreciate this tote bag?? It’s an incredible dupe for the American
Apparel Tote bag, and is surprisingly durable for a cheap tote that has endured
many a Tesco trip. These ripped Joni jeans have existed almost permanently on
my legs for the last year or so, and they’re still my absolute favourite pair
of jeans. The jumper is super lovely, too. I must stress the importance of a
slouchy knit for spring/summer! It’s perfect for evenings on the beach or
camping when the evenings get cooler. Plus, it just looks low maintenance and
cute and oversized.
Look 4:
Playsuit | Urban
Outfitters Ecote Playsuit £49
Boots | Office Doc
Martens £100
Bag | Primark Backpack £8
I fell in love with this
playsuit when I first spotted it on the Urban Outfitters website. It’s so
beautiful and gypsy-ish and girly and slouchy looking. I love to dress it up or
down; I wore it to my birthday meal and then go-karting a few days later. It
ticks all my boxes! As for the Doc Martens, they’re my ol’ faithfuls. I
basically live in them. I got this pair for Christmas 2015, but before that,
I’d had my old pair for 5 whole years!
Look 5:
Top | Boohoo Mia V Bardot
Crop £6
Skirt | Boohoo Contrast
Maxi Skirt £8
Shoes | Primark Chunky
Sandals £5
Bag | Tiger Tote Bag
£0.50p
Okay, so this is
definitely the most affordable outfit of the bunch. It’s also pretty regal, if
you ask me! I saw a girl who worked in the tattoo shop I got my recent tattoo in
dressed in an outfit very similar to this. And maaaan did she look good! I was
reluctant to purchase the skirt because I feel like I look short in loads of
things, and a maxi skirt would swamp me. However, I decided to give it a go and
I sort of like it! It’d be more of a dressy outfit for me, maybe a ‘dinner with
friends’ type of outfit. Regardless, I’m really surprised at how nice I think
it looks, and the sandals are seriously comfy.
I hope you enjoyed
reading this very rare LookBook post! I certainly enjoyed shooting the pictures
and editing the video. I’ve definitely got a much better idea about what piece
of clothing goes with what and I’ve even had a big wardrobe sort out! I’d quite
like to do more of these types of posts in the future, so keep your eyes
peeled!
Lots of love,
