I’d like to apologise for the lack of pictures of me (or a rather fetching mannequin) actually wearing the clothes. I’m in the process of battling an eczema flare up that not even my Lush moisturisers can handle and it’s awfully unsightly. It was either I photograph myself wearing the clothes and photoshop the hell out of them or do it the way I did.
House of Dereon Jeans:
I’m getting a little bored of black skinny jeans so I immediately jumped on these bad boys. They are a little too long for me so I’ll need to get them turned up a few inches but I love them all the same. They’re a nice change from my regular all black attire and have injected the tiniest bit of colour into my wardrobe. Too bad they didn’t turn me into Beyonce like I hoped they would.
Episode Blouse:
I can’t even tell you how many times I eyed this baby up on the House of Fraser website. I ummed and aahed over it for a long time and eventually decided to wait for it to go on sale. It was originally £45 and I got it on sale for £39 so there wasn't much of a saving but I literally couldn’t wait to buy it any longer. I got it in a XS and it fits rather nicely. Annoyingly I actually bought an incredibly similar item from H&M for a fraction of the price. Boo!
Jane Norman Top:
Jane Norman and I used to be best buddies back in the day but then the store near me closed down and we stopped hanging out so much as a result. I do hit up my girl whenever there’s a sale on and this top was a part of one of her many, many sales. I wasn’t really feeling anything when scrolling through all of the items but as soon as I saw this I knew I had to have it. It’s a simple, lightweight top that I love wearing with skinny jeans, a leather jacket and Jeffrey Campbell’s.
Why on earth did I just talk about Jane Norman like we're actually friends? What on earth is on my sandwich?
Jane Norman Shorts:
The first ever shorts I bought with my own money were from Jane Norman so I figured my first ever high waisted shorts should be from Jane Norman too. I find Jane Norman sizes to run quite small so, although I would usually go for a UK size 6, I went for an 8 and had a mild panic when I received them. I say their sizes run small but holy Christmas are these tiny. I literally could not get them on the first time I tried and it was a rather disappointing moment. I did have another go and got them on just fine so I must’ve been having a chubby day the first time around.
Fashion Union Cinderella Cross Back Cami Swing Dress in White (that’s a mouthful):
Blame Rebecca for this purchase! I saw her rocking this dress in an OOTD post and just had to have it. Annoyingly I went on Fashion Union about 5 times to search for this dress and could never find it. Luck hit me right in the face on the day of the Grand National (it didn’t hit when it came to the actual races though) as I finally stumbled across the dress right when it went on sale. Happy days! I purchased it in a UK size 6, waited impatiently for a week for it to arrive and was met with frigging side boob when I finally got to try it on. Fortunately the straps can be adjusted which has helped cover up my girls significantly but there is still a tiny bit of side boob on show.
Fashion Union Cinderella Cross Back Cami Swing Dress in Black:
I purchased the black version of the dress right when it went on sale too so I got both of the dresses for the price of one. I got this one in a UK size 8 and there is no side boob as a result. I do prefer the fit of the UK size 6 though but in all honesty, there doesn’t seem to be much difference between the 6 and the 8.
That’s all for now. I’ll try to feature all of these items in Outfit of the Day posts so you can actually see them on. I’ve just got to stop eating dairy for my eczema to calm down before I can do that. Damn I really want a pizza. Help!
