The return of #OMCZ- Shopping Trip

Outside My Comfort Zone (OMCZ) is back! I missed week one as I was simply to busy but I'm back on track! These challenges are a great way to push each of our styles in to new territories and trying something we would usually avoid.

'The next theme has more of an open feeling to it. No specific items or patterns to showcase. Just show us what you'd wear to go shopping.

This is inspired by the Shopping Trip to Birmingham organised by Nikki . Knowing what to wear on a shopping trip in the colder months can be a challenge. You want to be warm enough when you're outside but as soon as you go inside it's too hot.'

I love this theme as it shows how I dress on a daily basis! As I don't work, I don't really have a reason to dress smartly but always have to dress as practical as possible. I'm smeared with food within an hour of dressing, most days, so I'm used to having to change at least once a day. 

Here's what I wear for an average shopping trip

Cream and gold fleck jumper is old New Look Inspire, leggings are H&M, bag and pumps are Primark.

I get so hot and flustered when I'm out shopping so tend to not wear a jacket. I also like to wear a black vest and leggings so that I have something plain to wear when trying on clothes. 

Here's a list of other bloggers taking part in the challenge.

OOTD ft Simply Be Quilted PU mini

It feels like forever since I last blogged but I'm back! I've been a busy bee with family life, modelling jobs and a blogging event this month.

Today I thought I'd share an outfit post. Excuse me cold looking expression, I was freezing!

  

During January, I didn't really hit any sales for a big spending spree, rather picked up a few sale items here and there.

The top is from H&M, it features Run DMC in floral print, was a steal at only £5! It's an oversized style tee with bat wing short sleeves. The skirt is one of my faves from Simply be and can be found Here. It's a stretchy, pull on job that looks wet but is actually quilted Jersey. The cardigan is a jumble sale find, soft and thick and one of my 'go to' items in winter. My leggings are just basics from F+F and the White pumps are from New Look. My bag can be found on EBay Herexx

OOTD baseball shirt

Here's a quick little outfit post from today. I've been very lazy on my blog this summer but I have new posts to come!

 

This was a bargain T shirt that I picked up from Primark a while ago and never thought I would of gone for a top like this but I love it- almost as much as the price tag of £3! I wore it with a trusty pair of thick leggings (so no transparency would happen) from H&M and a battered pair of platform plimsolls, again Primark. Lipstick is Kate Moss for Rimmel

Colour Pop in Poppy Print

So sorry for the quietness but I decided to give blogging a little break and spend some quality time with my children this summer.

Here's a quick OOTD

I'm wearing Simply Be Poppy print dress, Primark black vest, sandals and necklace and Topsy Curvy leggings. 

The dress isn't something I would of usually of gone for but after seeming the dress in person, I loved the quality if the material, the colour and the fit. Today I wore the dress open for a more relaxed feel but would happily wear it done up to the neck with statement necklace and heels for a more dressed up look.
