Mesh t-shirt

Pompom hat & black faux fur gilét: TOPSHOP | Black mesh top: H&M | Red leather pants: RIVER ISLAND | Shoes: CONVERSE

I have had this top for a good few months now and only now am I getting round to wearing it for the first time, the tag came of yesterday.  I don't usually do this with new purchases and I tend to wear things within the first few days of buying them, but my answer is the top doesn't have a lot of fabric to it and it's been a little bit cold, hasn't it?  Not the greatest piece for winter.  I did of course already know this when I was buying, so the fact that I went ahead of bought it anyway should show how much I wanted it.
Saying that, it's still not exactly warm but I could not wait any longer.  Unfortunately I had to throw some faux fur into the look to avoid looking too insane as well as a good ol' wooly hat.  I don't usually choose to show off my, er, belly button area, but I really liked the floral, lace detail covering the breasticles so I thought that compensated for it.  Plus it makes me feel like a bit of a rockstar, just a little bit.  What added to that is these rockin' leather pants, which thanks to their colour made the black pieces a little bit more interesting.
I'll definitely be getting this t-shirt out much more frequently in the warmer seasons and will be wearing it with a pair of high-waisted denim shorts and a beanie, sorted.
I am looking forward to finishing uni tomorrow night as I have all of next week off, yaaaaaaaaay!  *mini Mexican wave* Am going to spend it taking lots of outfit photos, watching lots of rubbish, filming lots of videos for my Youtoob, putting lots of stuff on my ebay, taking lots of pictures for my Instagram, eating lots of food and spending lots of time with mummy.  Don't hate me 'cause you ain't me, guys.

Chicago Lions

'Chicago' sweater & leather pants: TOPSHOP | Shoes: CONVERSE

I am really liking sweaters at the moment and am happily welcoming them to my wardrobe, in all different colours and prints.  They're currently pretty popular on the high street and I can only seeing them becoming even more of a bigger thing.  They are very casual and slouchy and thus don't suit everyone's style, but I like to go for the cool, laid-back look in outfits with a 'street' vibe about them.
I recently took a trip to Topshop and added this one to my basket, as well as the embroidered tiger one which I've already shown you on here a couple of times.
They're great for the colder season as they tend to be quite big and oversized, but they're really versatile as they'd work just as well in the summer, especially because the sports luxe trend comes around every year so sweaters are pretty damn perfect for that.  They're no longer for the gym alone and with them you look just as stylish as you do sporty, especially with the Kenzo sweaters being here, there and everywhere at the moment.
What drew me into this one is the sport slogan/image on the front as well as the unusual colour.  This with the relatively baggy leather pants is the ideal Sunday outfit, I think.  It has that 'chucked together' feel and is really great for just lazing about in.  There's clearly not been a lot of effort put into it but fortunately still has that cool factor.  Boom boom powww.
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!  I have, but Sunday is the day before Monday so... Blehhh!

Bobble beanie

'New York' red beanie hat: RIVER ISLAND | Chunky chain necklace & high shine midi skater skirt: ASOS | Grey crop top: TOPSHOP | Shoes: CONVERSE

I'm a very adventurous person, in all aspects of my life, and I always like to try new things.  That's most probably the reason why my style doesn't fall into one specific category, I'd just get bored of wearing certain type of outfits.  Don't get me wrong, there's looks which I much prefer to others - you're much more likely to see me rocking a beanie hat than a fedora - and I'll never tire of my Converse, but every now and then I like to go out of my comfort zone and just say 'what the hell' about items of clothing rather than admire them from a distance.  If I see, for example, a street style picture of a fashionista wearing something which I don't usually wear but it inspires me, then I'm definitely the type of person who will just try the look myself rather than saying "I love it!  But it'd never suit me...".  And I've got to say, I've never bought an 'out-there' item and ended up regretting it, I tend to just think 'Dayummm I've got to get me more of these'.
I'm going to Paris at the end of the month, I don't know much about what's happening except that it clashes with PFW (eeeeep!) and we will (hopefully) be going to a few events.  I absolutely love fashion month - Paris is my favourite week, fancy that! - and for a few years now every time it comes round I thoroughly search the internet for street style pictures.  Let's just say people don't get snapped when they're wearing any old outfit.  I'm not trying to be another Anna Dello Russo or anything, but I thought I should at least make the effort for dear Paris and buy something pretty damn cool.  Y'know what I'm sayin'?
That's where this skirt comes in.  The high-shine material isn't something I've ever worn before, nor have I purchased a skater midi skirt, so I thought now would be a pretty perfect time.  And y'know what?  I like it, really really like it.  I've worn it with my Converse to make it my own and I wanted to keep the rest of the look casual.  I think it's the ideal Paris-worthy item which has that cool, street style look about it.  Ah oui!
Hope you're all having a lovely Saturday!  I've spent it with mum, we went out for a late breakfast, nipped into town so she could get some hair-dye, and now we're just chilling at home with an Indian on the way (food, not person) watching 'Come Dine With Me'.  Not the kind of wild Saturday night that you will all be jealous of, but I'm digging it.

January outfits recap

This month seems to have lasted quite long for me.  Not in a bad way, but I look at the first outfit from the above pictures and it seems like aaaages ago, not sure why.  To be fair I have done a year's worth of shopping in January alone, so that could be the reason... But what with awesome finds in the sales, awesome finds which weren't in the sales, how could anyone blame me?  One of my new year's goals was to buy more statement pieces and come out of my comfort zone in respect to my style.
Mission accomplished, I think.
