Multi-Pastel Bobble


I would being lying if I said I wasn't nervous, as this is my first official 'outfit post'. Although, it isn't so much an outfit post as a 'hat and nails post'. This is purely for the fact that, being cameraless, these are taken on an iPad, and using timer is an issue. 



Firstly, I'd like to start with a 'how awesome is this hat?!' I found it in a charity shop a few days ago for £1.50!! Bargain! I love the multicoloured pastel wool used and the huge bobble on the top. It reminds me of that 'special wool' we used to be allowed to use occasionally for crafts in Primary school.


The lipstick I am wearing in a hot-pink shade in unlabelled packaging. I picked it up at a Car-boot sale a few weeks ago (It was completely sealed, don't worry!) I liked the colour, and still do, however it does feel a bit 'wet' on my lips and comes off quite quickly.


I painted my nails using Barry M 'pink silver glitter - 337' and Models Own 'Ibiza Mix - Hk04' on the thumbs. You have to use several layers of the Ibiza mix if you're not layering it on top of another colour, which I haven't done properly here as I was running out of time whilst doing them. Whoops.


And lastly, the polo shirt I am wearing, am practically LIVE in nowadays!! I was going through super old clothes my Mum had from years and years ago that she wanted to put in a car-boot sale and found it, needless to say, I nabbed this one up before it went in!

Thank you to all of my new followers since my last post, it means so much to me and I'm so glad I'm getting into blogging!

I need help.

Dress - £11 - Primark 

Having no job at the moment leaves me very tight for money. But there are reasons why I am currently jobless so it's okay. But i try not to let myself leave the house as I don't want to face myself with temptations. However today, I DID leave the house and managed to spend £50. Although I got a bargain jumper and plain stripey t-shirt from a charity shop and an AMAZING dress from Primark. I originally found this dress online on the Look website, but did not realise what material it is. I hate it, that lycra, spandexy feel material that clings to your body and shows all of your lumps and bumps. But I loved the print so much I had to buy it, I just may have to wear my Bridget Jones pants when I wear it.
