What I'm Wearing... Glitter and Sequins

I've mentioned in previous posts how many fabulous bargains I've managed to pick up in the January sales, this outfit is made up of some of these fab purchases! I'd had my eye on the black sequin fluffy (what's not to love!?) cardigan in Primark when it was full price, but at £16 I thought it was a little pricey (for Primark anyway!) when I spotted one left on the sale rails I immediately grabbed it! There was only a size 18/20 left but I wanted it to be slouchy and oversized so this was perfect and reduced to £5 too! Bargain! 

The turquoise shorts were £3 from Asda and the sheer shirt was £3 from Primark it came with a crop but I seem to have misplaced it so styled this outfit with my Miss Selfridge crop. Worn with my super comfy boots this outfit is perfect now the colds slightly easing off (only slightly!).

What I'm Wearing... Winter Crochet

I absolutely love crochet dresses so when I saw Elsie and Fred had put so many in their winter sale I knew I needed some in my life! Crochet dresses are usually associated with summer but once the dresses I'd ordered arrived I couldn't wait until summer to wear them! I've got my eye on the Zeppelin Rat & Boa dress I think next pay day I'm going to have to treat myself! (You can never own too much crochet!) 

I've styled this black crochet dress with burgundy (my fave autumn/winter shade) and I think it works perfectly. I've also teamed this with another sale purchase a velvet choker set from New Look. I'd also had my eye on this kimono in Primark for a while and when I finally decided to buy it, the Derby store had sold out! When I recently visited Meadowhall and saw it again I immediately put it in my basket!!

What I'm Wearing... Gold Embroidery

I've been going absolutely wild in the sales recently, I've bought so many fab new things. Although most has been very very summery I'm excited to be able to start wearing it all! I may do a sale haul post if I find the time between working! 

The black tassel crop I'm wearing in this outfit is one of my buys and was an absolute steal for £5 from Urban Outfitters I couldn't wait until summer to wear, but I think it works perfectly with this outfit. 

I found this jacket last weekend in a charity shop, I couldn't decide whether I needed it in my life or not. I was umming and ahhing about it for so long I knew if I didn't buy it though, I'd regret it. I'm glad I did because I absolutely love it and it was only £4, bargain! It'll be perfect at festivals in summer but also looks great and adds some colour into this outfit.

What I Wore... NYE... Sequins, Sequins, Sequins!

So, I've been the worst blogger ever over Christmas and New Year (I hope everyone had a fab Christmas!) it's an extremely busy time of year and combined with work I feel like I've not stopped! I've also recently handed in my notice at my second job so this will mean I have more time for blogging and to actually have some free time! 

Anyway for New Year myself and Ashton (Glitz, Glamour & Grunge) decided to go to Manchester, we didn't want to have a boring night in Derby and figured it wouldn't cost us much more than if we went out in Nottingham! We were debating between Warehouse Project and Albert Hall but as these were both sold out ticket prices were ridiculous!! We decided on two fab events at different bars next to each other. We got ready at our hotel as usually we were running slightly later than planned so ended up getting a taxi instead of the bus like we planned! We didn't mind and our hilarious hotel receptionist wouldn't allow us to leave without taking a photo of us, he said we looked absolutely fabulous and he needed to photograph us immediately!!

The first was Blossoms @ The Night and Day Cafe, we'd been wanting to see Blossoms for ages, they'd supported Courteeners on their last tour but as we are late for everything we missed out! They were absolutely fab and we saw in the New Year during their set, after the gig we stuck around for a bit before heading to Pop, Bubble, Rock @ Dry Bar where we continued the night into the early hours! 

The next day were we feeling (surprisingly) quite fresh so decided to head to our fave food haunt Home Sweet Home for some late brunch! I usually go for the Winner Winner Chicken Dinner, but it was quite nice to be able to sample the breakfast menu, I went for Steak and Eggs and we decided to share the Peanut Butter Milkshake. It was delicious!! 

I decided to wear my absolute favourite dress for NYE, it's the most appropriate time for sequins I feel although the response we both got in them I feel like wearing them every day of the week!

I bought this dress off eBay its a vintage sequin dress initially for my work Christmas party but as it is so gorgeous I had to wear it again! I wore a couple of gold rings with the dress but didn't want to over accessorise it as the sequins do the talking!! On NYE I did however use a little glitter on my lips for that extra bit of sparkle!
