I was rummaging through my wardrobe last week trying to find a outfit for my sisters birthday and as I was looking through my dresses, I realised that I had been neglecting my smart shorts I bought from Primark in April. I told myself that no matter what the weather was like, I was going to wear a pair of shorts out that night! That's when I came up with this three outfits based around my two pairs of shorts.
I thought I'd do a post showing you what I put with the shorts and maybe get your opinions on which one I should wear next week. You can be my style advisors! I have a favourite but my sister's favourite is completely different to mine so I need a few more opinions...
I paired all the outfits with my favourite pair of wedges but I'm undecided whether to stick with them or not?

What do you guys think?

Would you change anything about them?
Help a undecided girl out!

Over the last year, tartan print has been very popular (to the amusement of my mum who used to wear it when she was young) and it seems to be everywhere now.
I know some people are steering clear of this print as they think it is over used and/or they might not be too sure how to put it in an outfit.
The good thing about clothing stores is that when they see that a style or print is popular they make everything in that print, trust me I work in a clothes shop. Therefore you have lots of options of how to wear it, whether you want to go for a bright red pattern or just a plain black and white.
To help you out, here is how I would style the different tartan prints that I have :)

| Top - Newlook Leggings - Forever 21 Shoes - Newlook |
I choose to pair my black and white tartan leggings with a burgundy cami top and black wedges, I picked the burgundy top to give the outfit a kind of a dark/grunge look, but you can also wear it with a bright top like this summery baby blue cami.
I think the leggings give off a great effect when you wear them, as if the pattern moves when you move.
I will be doing a separate blog post just about these leggings after because I think they are so versatile that you can wear them with so many types of clothes.

| Top - Dorothy Perkins Skirt - Internationale |
This skirt is really easy to style, pair it with a plain coloured top or a subtle print and your sorted. I put it with a plain blue chiffon shirt with a really beautiful sequined collar, the design on the collar almost looks like it matches the pattern of the skirt perfectly. Plus the skirt really cinches in your waist!

| Dress - Primark Necklace - Select Belt - Off a skirt from Newlook |
Lastly here is my tartan dress from Primark. I know most people who jumped on the tartan band wagon have some form of tartan dress, in all shapes, colours and sizes, and this is the style that caught me eye. It is super cute and looks great with chunky jewellery and a black belt. Here is a photo of me the day I wore it, with little black boots, black tights and my leather jacket, it all worked really well together.
Hope you enjoyed this 'How To' post and it encourages some of you to branch out and try some tartan on! :)
I always feel a little sad when Christmas is over and I don't have anything to look forward to. Christmas is my favourite time of the year so in January I try to get myself over the January slump in a typical girlie way, shopping.
Here are some of the treats I picked up from Christmas eve onwards...
I did a little internet shopping on Forever 21 and found some gems that I fell in love with. First is a black and white daisy skirt which was £12. It wasn't the material I was expecting as It is knitted, but I think it will look really nice with black tights.
The second item is a tribal patterned jacket which again I thought would be a different material. It's basically a black and white jean jacket (a theme with most of my clothes in this post) which I thought would be perfect in the warmer months just to put onto of a dress. It was £18 and I just love the pattern of it.
My next purchase is a funky patterned blazer which was £15. Its a really soft material and flows nicely so I think it will be great for wearing with leggings and a plain coloured top..
Another of my purchases is some very cool patterned leggings which I fell in love with as soon as I saw them on the site. The black and white pair I thought would look good with a coloured flowy top and some wedges for a night out (which I am planning to wear next month) The brown pair were more for during the day with a big comfy top or jumper.
I am personally a big fan of patterned leggings as I think they are super comfy and you don't have to worry about finding a top that covers your bum, unlike with plain black leggings.
My next purchase is one I found while I needed to kill time waiting for my phone to get fixed. There is a new Internationale store near me and I just thought I might as well pop in and see what it had to offer. While in there I found this black and white (shock) skirt, I have been looking for a skirt of this pattern that would actually fit me for weeks now, so I was pretty pleased when I found it and it was only £12.
My last two purchases are some super cute tops with collars at the top, a feature I love! The first one is a cheap as chips floral one from Primark. You can never go wrong with a cheeky Primark spend... The other top is a beautiful sequined collared chiffon top from Dorothy Perkins with was £20 in the sale. My mum didn't really understand my need for a £20 top which I didn't need but I couldn't leave without it!
And that is the end of my January Clothing Haul
I hope you enjoyed my post and I've made you want to go out and do some shopping! :)
