Let's get high-waisted


Ah isn't it great when you decide to wear something (or rather something of your mum's, in this case...) which you had forgotten about and as soon as you put it on you vow never to forget it again, because it looks so awesome on?  That's what happened when I slipped on this faux leather jacket this morning.  I don't own many jackets apart from my quilted bomber jacket - which, let's face it, isn't exactly versatile - so re-welcoming this back into my wardrobe was definitely a good thing.  I mean, black leather jackets go with pretty much everything, right?  Even my (now fading) orange hair.


Jacket & top: TOPSHOP | Jeans: MISSGUIDED | Shoes: CONVERSE

This is one of my simple outfits as I'm much more of a wear-something-outrageous-and-stand-out-item kinda' girl, however I think going back to basics is good from time to time, plus people get on much better with these kind of outfits (but who gives a f*** about them?).  These jeans are the perfect piece of clothing for a casual day, literally my go-to pants.  I spent so long looking for the ideal high-waisted jeans and when I got my eyes on these babies I wasn't letting them get away (well, when they finally came back in stock) and thank jeebies I didn't.  I've lost count how many times I've worn them since I bought them, which isn't that long, but hey, I got my money's worth (especially seeing as they were only about twenty quid).

Muted colours


WHITE SHIRT, SKULL NECKLACE & GREY SHORTS: TOPSHOP | SHOES: CONVERSE
These shorts are another new purchase of mine from Topshop.  I had to push myself to buy these because I realised that the amount of tops I have compared to the amount of bottoms is slightly embarrassing.  I actually like them much more than I thought I would, the colour is lovely and I am all over anything which is high waisted.  It was a lovely change from my usual outfits to wear more softer colours and keep it more minimal.  I suppose muted tones are usually associated with work wear so my Converse were the perfect addition, a great outfit for when you want to look a bit more formal than jeans but a bit less formal than office wear.  Sometimes I think it's nice to step away from dresses and skirts, shorts are a perfect alternative to wear whatever the weather and plus they're a little boyish, which I love.
I hope you've all had a lovely weekend!  I've had my head stuck in 'Fifty Shades of Grey' for the whole time (it's safe to say it has completely taken over my life...) except when I went out for a meal last night for my dad's birthday, which was lovely!  The olympic torch was passing through my town yesterday morning but I'm not really interested in the olympics, never mind a torch, so I stayed in BED.  Bah humbug, etc.
