Hello my lovely readers!
I've been a bit slack on the blogging this week so I'll try and blog more at the weekend to make up for it! It's all a bit hectic at the moment with uni work, my MA application and on top of that I'm ill (again!) but I've got some ideas for future posts. Maybe a 'what's in my make-up bag' style post? Are people into that? Let me know!
Today I wore an outfit consisting of items I've worn on the blog before, just not together...I give you the Dorothy Perkins tunic with the Zara skirt! I quite like this colour combination, so I'm keeping an eye out for more tops in that lovely berry colour! Recently I had a big clear-out of my wardrobe and have heaps of bags to take to a charity shop so I'm trying different combinations with the items I do have until my loan comes in and I can replenish my wardrobe once more (hurrah!). I'm also toying with the idea of wearing jeans...I just threw loads out because they were so ill-fitting and I don't wear trousers anymore as a rule, but today something weird came over me and I tried on some high-waisted jeans in Topshop which fit me quite well...I just can't justify spending £40 on them though! Do you know anywhere that does nice high-waisted skinnies? I'm so out of the loop when it comes to jeans!
No-Foundation-February update: So I've been without foundation for 9 days now and although I love how fast my make-up routine is now, I've broken out! My skin must be so used to wearing a mask that it's reacted adversely to the...air? I don't know! Anyway, I thought I'd pop in a quick photo (sans eye-make-up I must add) so you can see how it's going and how I'm really trying to play up my lips and cheeks in order to detract from the horrid skin. This was taken before my break-out, but I still hate how uneven my skin tone looks. Gah. I really hope this no foundation thing pays off!
xoxo
I love the colour of that top too. The lip colour is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWell done on the no foundation! Only 19 more days to go haha!

Love love love the skirt! I'm a big fan of high waisted skirts but I'm a bit scared of high waisted jeans! And I agree, Topshop jeans are lovely but I can never justify spending so much on them!
ReplyDeleteThat lip colour is so pretty on you - good idea to focus more on lips/cheeks while you're going foundation-free! I've not noticed much of a change in my skin yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Only 17 more days to go! xxx
Love the sleeves on your tunic, all the pieces work together really well x
ReplyDeleteI love any sort of "What's in my bag/make up bag" post because I'm nosey!
ReplyDeleteI'm not too sure whether they have any high waisted jeans but have you tried H&M or New Look? xx
You look gorgeous! Love the colour together and the shape of the skirt is gorgeous! I would love to have a rummage through your wardrobe, maybe Ebay the clothes and make yorself a bit of money?? I wish my skin looked this good without foundation- absolutely lovely :)
