Bit of a different post to today, as I have had this blog for about half a year now and I feel it has reached that point in our relationship where you meet the parents.  Or at least, one of them.  So here she is, my mother!  Or Jane, to most people.  Ain't she priddy?  Mum has been very supportive of my blog from the start and she reads every post.  She's always complimenting me on my style choices and has said many a time that it's actually me who inspires her and influences what she wears.  Now, even though she has said this enough times that my head should be too heavy for me to even carry on my shoulders, she does actually have her own sense of style, so it was only a matter of time before I featured one of her amazing outfits on my bloggy.

Mum says: "I don't usually wear midi skirts, but since it's starting to get a bit colder I thought they would be a nice change from my usual skater skirts without me having to wear tights yet.  I don't really do heels so I thought my new, amazing creepers would look good with the skirt."

Now I've never worn a midi skirt but after seeing this on my mother I now really want to try one out!  Because it's quite a formal, body-hugging piece I think that the simple, baggy tee was the perfect thing to team it with.  She purchased it this weekend (as well as a plain black one) so I can't wait to see how else she chooses to wear it in the future.  I think it will look great with a black jumper and a chunky necklace.  The purple ankle socks offer just a nice little pop of colour to the look, and look great contrasted with the grungy shoes.  Mum has been after a pair of creepers for absolutely ages, so when I told her 'You know eBay has loads of dupes of the Underground ones for like a fraction of the price.' she had purchased not one, but two different pairs of them within the next ten minutes.  They came last week and she hasn't really had them off her feet since, it's only a matter of time before she purchases another pair, or five...
She also has a very subtle hint of lilac in her after recently using too much conditioner (which is meant to be used to keep the hair that whitey-blonde colour), and then coming into my room after drying her hair and saying "Uh, Dem, is my hair purple?".  Me and my brother had a little giggle over this, but I am actually quite jealous of it and will probably accidentally-on-purpose be using too much conditioner next time I have a shower.
So yeah, THAT'S MAH MUM.

1. Blue & yellow check shirt £26 MISS SELFRIDGE | 2. Hinge swirl cuff £15 ASOS | 3. Cross chain ring bracelet £8.50 TOPSHOP | 4. Ripped chain cross tank £22 TOPSHOP | 5. Beaded collar necklace £10 ASOS | 6. Marble wash skinny jeans £30 Republic | 7. Creeper stud shoes £75 TOPSHOP | 8. PU sleeve fallaway biker jacket £55 RIVER ISLAND

1.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, a checkered shirt is a wardrobe staple.  Do I have one already?  Yes.  Can you have too many?  Hell nawww.
2. An awesome statement piece of jewellery but not too in-your-face.  Love it.
3. I don't own one of these ring chain bracelets, but they're everywhere at the moment so I couldn't help adding this to my wishlist.
4. This is probably a stupidly impractical top.  I mean, you can't wear a bra with it, really, but then you risk flashing some nip-nip... I still sort of, kind of, really like it, though.
5. The perfect addition to a simple tee/dress.
6. After seeing Kim wearing these amazing jeans yesterday I wanted them straight away, a great alternative to your average pair of blue skinnies.
7. How do I not have some creeper-style shoes yet?  They are pretty controversial, but I'm definitely on the 'LOVE 'EM!' side.  My mum has bought some off eBay though, which are currently on their way... Muuuuuuum?  *flutters eyelashes*
8. Perfact jacket for winter.  Yesssss.

I am going through that time again, when you feel guilty for spending a silly amount on clothes because you feel your wardrobe isn't as filled as it should be considering how much you've spent.  I could sit here and say "so I am banning myself from spending for the next few weeks", but I can't make a promise which I know I won't keep.  How do I know this?  Because I am absolutely in love with these Nike hi-tops, for one.  And by buying them I wouldn't have anything but a mere few pounds to my name, maybe I'll put it off for a week or two, but it's only a matter of time until an ASOS 20% discount sneaks into my email inbox, then BOOM.  (Hurry up please.)
Secondly, I have never actually owned the perfect pair of denim cut-offs, which isn't on really because they're like, only the wardrobe staple for every summer.  I love these Topshop ones because a) they're shorter than they should be, b) they're the perfect colour of denim and c) they're high-waisted, which I can't really resist.
This unicorn tee is probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen.  THIS is how you wear a unicorn in your outfit without looking like a five year old girl, ladies: cosmic print and cut-off sleeves mixed in with it.  Et voilà.
