This was supposed to be a post about how amazing these trousers are. They were a £5 score from a sale rail in a Brighton vintage shop, and I was in love with them. Last night I washed them for the first time, and they are now ill fitting pedal pushers. I'm an idiot, and most certainly in mourning mood today. However, here are the two ways I managed to wear them before chaos ensued :(

Blouse, Primark

Strapless bra, £7, Evans

Trousers, £5, vintage

Shoes, New Look

Belt, old vintage stock

Lace body, £13, very.co.uk

Cami, £4, Primark

Trousers and belt, as above

Shoes, Deichmann, £15

Work work work. Today I remixed two of my most favourite items of the moment - my lace body and high waisted grey trousers. I'm sure everyone is more than slightly fed up of them, but I'm trying to keep this blog focused around what I wear every day, repeats and all, to give a sense of what is achieveable on my budget, and the ways in which I reinvigorate my favourites. My wardrobe is large and plentiful, and I'm not, er, known for my ability to purchase staple items (OH HELLO UNITARD), but there are a few items I will wear until destruction. This lace body is definitely one of them.

Just a note also, I'm starting to tag all of my posts with the items involved. Hopefully this means (when I actually finish doing it) that you should be able to click on an item and see all the ways I've worn it. I hope this will keep this blog running on a remixing ethos, as well as just being about the sheer amount of ridiculous nonsense I buy, ha!

Feather brooch, £2 Primark
Loafer heels, £15, Clarks

I'm back at work, pah. I'm still wayyyyy behind on posting, so here's two outfits worn last week, both utilising this leopard print body con number I found at Leeds Affordable Vintage Fair a few years back.

Proper thoughts will return eventually. For now I'm feeling a little glum and choose True Blood and pajamas instead. x

...and we're back

So I have internet contact again! Yay! I'm up in Leeds for the week now, staying at my boyfriend's house, and *hopefully* I might even have my laptop charger by Monday. In the mean time, I actually have photoshop also, so hurrah for non-shit image editing. Here's an outfit from a couple of weekends ago, worn to go shopping for Algerian sausages and various food delights.

And the epic banquet of the evening. Merguez sausages, potatoes roasted in chilli and chorizo, roasted red peppers, hummus, pittas, lentil dip, olives, followed by many a gin and juice. Yum!

I'm so behind on my outfits of late. Here's one from early last week, trying the ASOS camel pencil skirt I got in the sale in a new way. Not convinced about the pale shoes/dark tights combo, but this is what happens when you get dressed at 6am! Yuck!

Lace body, Very.co.uk £12

Cami, Primark, £4

Skirt, ASOS sale, £9

Tights, M&S

Scarf, vintage, £1

This post is sponsored by a roaring hangover that is slowing turning into a flu type bug as we speak. Today involved lots of sleeping, reheated macaroni cheese and avoiding the outside world. Last night I went over to a friend's house, and we cooked butternut squash and goats cheese lasagne, then I made these awesome brownies (with white chocolate chips and a peanut butter swirl) for puds:

Mmmm, chocolate hangover. And most types of hangover actually.

This lace body was a score from the very sale, back when I had pennies. It's not seen much outing as yet because I want to wear it with just a bra, and the only beige one I have is a bit "oh hello have you met my breasts?", so instead I teamed it with a beige cami instead.

Lace body, VERY.co.uk, about £12?
Skirt, vintage, £5
Tights, M&S £8 (love love love these tights)
