A Few Outfit Updates

Everything's a bit hectic with all the things going on at work along with trying to uphold a social life, sell everything I own on eBay and find a new home. So in the evenings I tend to just lie around and be lazy. That is my excuse for the lack of blogging.

I figured I'd just post a few outfits from the mornings I had time to take photos. Perhaps I'll do this each week to make up for the fact that I have no time for much more at the moment!

Boyfriend's Megadeth tee and AA jeans for the dreaded day after a work night out.

Neon jumper & leopard satchel

Daisy top & Riding pants

This was my first day outfit - as close as I'll ever get to smart casual!

We have a big events on tomorrow and Sunday which both are looking to be super cool so I'll take some pics and make a post from that along with more outfits and buys. My shopping has been lacking now I'm mega poor!

This Week's Top Buys: GOT THE JOB

I GOT THE JOB! Not the blog job that I posted the outfit for, but the boring-outfit, big, scary, media job that I was never going to get because I sucked in the interview and 800+ people applied for the position - that job.

I had pretty much forgotten about the whole experience and set my heart on the bag blog job which, despite being a pretty fab job, was basically unpaid, with only expenses and "pocket money" which wouldn't get me anywhere living in London.

On top of finishing uni and getting a job, this week has also been rad for my housemate who finished her degree yesterday and has just arrived home to tell me she's passed her driving test so congrats to her <3

Naturally, I celebrated in the only way I know how (other than getting really drunk). I shopped.

Tomorrow night is go!

Bralets - Primark; £4 each

Easy Jeans - American Apparel via Maudie's eBay; £20 (RRP £64)

Jumper - Topshop via eBay; £15 (RRO £26)

Breton top - Charity shop; £6

Pearl Collar - Primark; £6

Spike boots - Random Kingston shop; £30

I've been searching for a good breton top for ages since spilling bleach on my trusty old one which was inherited from one of my mum's '80s wardrobe clearouts. I've also been on the hunt for a good lace bralet without forking out Urban Outfitters prices. I'd have posted in a picture in the white one, but since it doesn't have padding I thought it would be a bit rude!

Mauds was selling her Easy Jeans and, as a sucker for anything American Apparel/high waisted, I put in a bid and now have one more pair to add to my collection.

But best of all are my new studded boots. Along with the rest of the world, I've been lusting after the spiked Jeffrey Campbell Lita's for as long as I can remember, but when I saw these babies for just £30 in a random shoe shop in town, I couldn't resist. I'd just got a job, just finished uni, and they were a bargain. Yeah, they're not real... But I'm still on a student budget!

Naturally, this has done wonders for my party plans:

• New attire
• Sexy shoes
• Finished uni
• Got a job
• Vicky's finished uni
• Vicky's passed her driving test
• I found a sneaky bottle of wine left under a table at work
• The Cribs are playing at New Slang

Interview Outfit

What a lovely day! And how typical that I'm spending it finishing deadlines and preparing for yet another interview. 

I'm off for a meeting this evening about a very exciting looking job. It's taking place in Starbucks, so I didn't want to look too dressed up and thought this kimono, which I believe Hannah has just done an outfit post in as well (great taste!), would be perfect for the occasion and the weather.

I had another one yesterday but that was a very boring riding pants/lace shirt look so didn't even bother with a post.

Hope you're all having a lovely day in the sun!

Tropical

I bought this silky tropical bomber jacket in Primark a week or so ago and it's just been sat in the bag at the end of my bed until I could think of an outfit/occasion to suit it - I'm trying to be more sensible with my money!

But last night I went for Thai food and, having seen photos of similar jackets all over Tumblr, decided to give it a whirl. I didn't know if I'd pull it off but I think it's grown on me. What do you think?

(I hate having my photo taken, hence the awkward face)
