My Relaxed OOTD

So with 2015 coming to a close and after a whole social media meltdown regarding a well known plus brand lastnight, I have spent the day with my family, doing the every day things. I decided to not reflect back on my year, not to focus on the year ahead and not get caught up with who said what and when.

I made the big mistake of going out on New Years Eve. The shops were packed and the weather was crap! But...I looked cute. 

The wind and rain won, my hair did not last! 

As I was going shopping, I needed comfort and casual. I always opt for jeans or leggings. These are old ones from Asda that I cut at the knee for a more distressed look. The long sleeve T shirt was from an EBay shop, it says 'Rydell High School' which is a nod to one of my favourite films Grease. I wore my Boohoo college style jacket to keep in with the retro preppy look.

OOTD Winter Warmer

After having a dry spell of spendable pennies, I took myself off to Primark to get a few well needed, warmer pieces. 

As you may already know, I have a love/hate affair with skinny jeans. I love them, they hate me. In an ideal world, there would be a pair of jeans that would be a size 18 in the leg but a size 20 in the waist. But these sadly do not exist. 

Spying a pair of high waisted, acid wash skinnies, I was doubtful yet still hopeful that they might just work. And they kind of did! Slightly baggy behind the knees and bum but snug in the waist and leg, I snapped them up. 

Next on my list was a black cardigan. It had to be not too plain, long, preferably with pockets. Found it! It's the kind of 'throw it on' style, no buttons, fuzzy, warm, yet plain enough to work with anything. We're good to go!
