The 70's

A month back I decided to have a big clear out of my wardrobes. Along with many of the items that got the boot was a pair of high waisted denim flares. They fitted me perfectly and I had bought them for only £3 in H&M, however I had to ask myself the question, "Will I actually ever get any wear out of them?". At the time I thought no, I love them but I just don't have the confidence to wear an item that hasn't been in fashion for years...........

Que. Spring/Summer 2015. 70's fashion is everywhere and so are bloody denim flares!! So moral of the story, hoarding clothes is for the win.

I really don't think I will replace them. I just can't bring myself to even consider spending £30 odd on an item of clothing that I originally bought for £3. That's the price of a fancy sandwich! Instead I have opted for maybe a more wearable option with a 70's print. Originally I thought the print may be too big for someone of my size but I think it works well. I am not used to wearing bold prints but loved the colour combination in this dress. Worn with a pair of brown boots and a beige mac makes for a perfect spring outfit.

Dress: H&M: £14.99

Cheap love

I am back at it again. As if shopping from the sales of basically every high street shop wasn't enough for me at the moment, I have yet again taken to ebay to satisfy my endless quest for that good old bargain. Cue this sheer dress originally from H&M bought for 99p. A great staple just to wear with leggings. I wore it with this sleeveless blazer also from ebay years ago. I styled it as a dress in this post here. I know for sure that I have not grown in height, so it must have shrunk in the wash. Unfortunatly there is no way that it can be worn as a dress anymore unless I feel brave and don't mind flashing a bit of cheek (aint gunna happen), so I will have to find new ways of styling it and I think this is a good start. With a pair of black heeled boots the outfit looks smart and put together. You would never had guessed that half of the outfit was second hand.
