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.

OMCZ 25 My First Challenge!

So I've jumped on the OMCZ bandwagon. The challenge this time was accessories, chosen by the lovely Nikki, who said  'I thought we can use scarves, bags or statement jewellery to show how you can change the look of an outfit and the bolder the better'.

Def a great theme for me as I LOVE accessories, the bolder the better!



I chose this plain cream dress that has a charcoal fleck/marl effect. It cost a whopping £2 in the George @Asda sale. Paired with my faithful black Dorothy P leggings and Next tan boots. Perfect enough outfit for carrying out boring mum duties.



These are what I chose to accessorize with. Large multi-chain necklace from passed seasons Topshop and my fave cage belt from Asos Curve. I swapped the boots for heels too. Chuck on a biker jacket and take along a clutch bag and grab a drink with friends! (I would also look in the mirror and straighten out my dress and belt too lol)

Here's the list of all the other fab babes doing the challenge;
