OOTD : Going For Gold

Summer! We finally have Summer! It's been a mixed bag today, on the one hand who doesn't love looking out of the window and seeing their sunlit surroundings? On the other, by 'eck it's been hot!

I decided to put together an outfit around my Knuckleduster Wings Ring today. You can find them here. It took me years to come around to gold coloured jewellery, I was always a silver kinda girl, but these days I am all about GOLD! I think it makes more of a statement and although it's not as versatile as silver, can look great if you colour co-ordinate.

I comprised this look from some new items I've just bought. The leopard print body was £4 in the New Look sale and the black maxi skirt was £14.99, also from New Look. The tan gladiator sandals are a trusty pair that I've had for a couple years now, would you believe it, also from New Look. Although I wouldn't necessarily wear them out of the house, I just couldn't resist popping on my lace cat ears too!

OOTD : Racey Lacey

Some days I feel like doing nothing but schlubbing around in the slouchiest, baggiest, most shapeless clothes I own. Others I feel like doing what I like to call 'aspirational dressing'. I woke up this morning feeling a little less than fresh. Last nights makeup still firmly in place, panda eyes and the taste of gin still present in my dryer-than-dry mouth, I decided I had two options; work on further implanting that bum impression on the sofa, or get up and dress for the mood that I wanted! I chose the former. After a few hours of sofa-surfing, I then decided to opt for the latter and this is the outfit I went with.

The necklace was created by a lovely lady called Tamsyn who runs VelvetVolcano. I am a fervent lover of all things leopard print so when I saw this baby it was pretty much a no-brainer! You can find her gorgeous items on Etsy and Facebook.

The outfit put itself together after that. In honour of the necklace, I picked something both 'racey' and 'lacey' in the form of the red knee-length skirt from Rare London. I picked it up for about £8 in their sale and haven't found the right occasion to wear it yet! 

I paired it with a simple black vest, a cinch belt from New Look and my gorgeous TUK booties. They're hellishly uncomfortable but I don't care! It's like wearing a pair of tiny biker jackets on my feet! 

 

Well, I'll love you and leave you as I'm off to get some red hot Batman action at the cinema! :)
