Hello!
Over the past couple of weeks I have been shopping quite a few times, just to get some new spring things in my wardrobe as I hardly have anything and want to leap out of my leggings comfort zone!
Here are the purchases, with an added pair of shoes which I bought after this photo was taken but really wanted to include them.
First up is this T-shirt dress, I really like this as the little faux leather details around the neck-line and the sleeves really add a good amount of detail to it. This comes to about halfway up my thigh, as I am only 5ft'1 you might want to check the length before buying as it definitely would be too short on tall people.
The fit is really nice and baggy at the top and then gets a tiny bit tighter around the hips and downwards. I think it would pair really nicely with some black tights for an evening or just a smarter daytime outfit, it is really versatile.
Next up are these shorts, I really think that these are really casual for a summer day and are also really comfortable! The little draw string actually works which is great because I hate the fake ones that don't do anything.
The pattern is really casual and isn't to overpowering or too bright for me, as I don't usually go for really blocky colours in my clothing.
Next up I ordered these shorts from Forever 21 online just to see whether I would suit something like this or not. I think as it still has the green throughout most of it, it would be great for evening wear with some black almost opaque tights aswell as on their own in the day, but I will still probably wear tights during the day anyway as I'm not one to show off my legs.
They are really comfortable and I like the frilly edges at the bottom. The top is quite fitted which I usually tend to stay away from as my stomach does not like anything even barely tight against it (which is a real pain). However this has been stitched with elastic cotton throughout the back panel instead of a strip of elastic, which makes it alot softer on my stomach and not tight at all.
I picked up these sunglasses as I cannot find any that suit my eye shape or hide my eyebrows in anyway, but I finally found some at a whim when I was in New Look a couple weeks back. I really like the shape of them and I think they really protect my eyes well, without totally blocking out my vision. I also like the leopard print and colour of them, all for a really good price!
I picked these three product up in Boots about three weeks ago.
First up is the new No7 mascara, I tried this out as soon as I got back home and I think that it has a really nice wand to it but I dont think it has the 'Intense Volume Control' that it says it does. I also thing that it clumps quite easily and stays wet for a very long time.
Next up was this Barry M nail varnish in the shade 'Lychee' which is a very yellow/grey toned nude and is perfect for an everyday colour, if you aren't feeling like something bright or deep. Like all of the other Gelly polishes from the line, they go on really thick and very opaque, give a great shine, dry fairly quickly and have a good lasting power.
The final thing I bought in boots is this Batiste dry shampoo, this smells literally like heaven when it is on your hair, the cherry makes everything smell alot more like fruity shampoo than 'Oh you have just sprayed dry shampoo everywhere', however it does smell alot of alcohol when it is in the can.
Shows the colour much darker than it actually is on the site.
I picked up these Jeggings from New Look that do not have a buckle like most jeans do, but they still feel like they have the same quality of jeans and not like leggings at all. As I cannot wear jeans as they rest on my stomach these are a great alternative and I think I will get alot of wear out of them.
Last but definitely not least are these sandle wedges. They have a really small heel, around an inch and a half tall, which means they are really comfortable to wear and will be really handy when going to a party or an evening meal as they wont hurt my feet after a while of standing and at the same time they will be ultra comfortable with the extra padding in the soles, they are also wide fit which adds more to the extra comfort.
I hope you liked this collective haul from the last couple of weeks!!
I will be posting a few more of these in the coming weeks :D
