Plain and Simple

Top: Primark

Skirt: New Look

Belt: Primark

I wore this yesterday. I had to go into uni to hand an essay in (Just one more to go now!!) and then I came back to Manchester. I am back home this weekend as I bought my cousin tickets to see example for his 18th last year and we are off to see him tonight. I am excited and looking forward to having a break from essays. Also my stone roses tickets came while I was at uni so I had them waiting for me however I have to wait June to see them. I am already thinking about what I am going to wear however I will have to wait until the day as Manchester weather is very unpredictable and prone to lots of rain. I think some new wellies will be needed.

I just wore something simple and I didn't bother with any jewelry as I quickly got ready to make sure that I had plenty of time in case I had any problems with my coursework. I took these pictures last night which is why I don't have my jacket or boots on however I wore my black boots and leather jacket which somehow find there way into all my outfit posts. Sorry for the short post but I still have one more essay to go and they saved the best for last, I mean who doesn't love grammar essays???

I went to Jamie's Italian in Manchester yesterday for my Mum's friends birthday. It is in an old bank which has been converted into a restaurant and it looks so nice. We were in a private room which used to be the old mangers office which was a lovely surprise plus it meant that we could be as loud as we wanted. The food was really nice. I had one of the specials with garlic chips and carrots - I could eat it again right now. 

I wore a cream lace dress which I bought two years ago for my eighteenth and I still love it today. And surprise, surprise I wore black tights, black boots and a black jacket. I do own other shoes and coats however I am just so in love with them that nothing else I own lives up to them. I did splash the cash on my boots and jacket but I really am getting my moneys worth. I am trying to stop buying new things all the time which are cheap and just buy the things I really like which will go well with the rest of my wardrobe even if they are a little more than I would usually pay. 

I am going back to uni tomorrow to finish off all my essays before revision starts so I won't be blogging much as I won't have anything to share with you. Oh and I will be really busy with my essays....

Sunshine in the Rain

I bought this skirt the other week during a very brief spell of sunny weather and it has been mocking from my wardrobe ever since. I nearly wore it the other day but I chickened out as I didn't think I could pull it off with the weather being so miserable. I finally plucked up the courage and put it on. I decided to go for a simple look with a slight edge so I paired it with my usual black tights, boots and jacket and a simple white tee.

It was my best friend from home birthday yesterday so some of the girls celebrated by going round to hers for some chilli (pizza for me) and some drinks. I don't get to see my friends from too much as we are all at different Unis and it difficult to find a time when we are all free but most of us are back for easter so it was really good to see them and catch up with everyone. We spent the time trading drinking games before heading off to the pub quiz which we lost by a mile. 

I have been busy with family stuff and work this past week. I never seem to have time to do outfit posts when I am out with my mum as I never have time because she is always waiting for me. I always ending up doing her make up though so she only has herself to blame. We went shopping to find my mum some new bits so naturally I ended up buying myself a few things while we were out. I will try and do a haul sometime this week.

I have been very lazy with my outfit posts in the past two weeks. I am home for easter but I have 4 essays to do so I have just been wearing leggings and pj bottoms as they are comfy and I am being lazy at home. I will be doing more stuff next week as it is easter weekend so hopefully I will remember to snap a few pictures for you. 

Rambling aside, I did manage to take an outfit pic on saturday which I completely forgot about until today. My family from Sunderland was down this weekend so we went out for some tea and then to the pub for a family friends birthday. I wanted something causal (well my idea of casual) so I wore the white primark dress I bought last week and paired it with my usual black tights, black boots and leather jacket. 

One of my friends was laughing at me stocking up on black tights last week as we had a few days of really nice weather however the coldness and rain has returned with a little sprinkling of snow. I love summer fashions however I have the palest legs known to man and they can never been seen without a weeks worth of fake tan so I am happy that I can wear my black tights for the time being. My legs look a lot better in black tights and I would hate to shatter the illusion by unleashing them on the public, they have also been known to blind people with their whiteness so it for everyones benefit that I keep wearing my black tights.

Here is a quick snap of my tight-less legs. I wore this last week when we had some sunshine. I put two layers of tan on just so they would look like normal legs however as you can see they are still on the pale side. I feel very naked without tights.

I really must stop wearing buying sheer shirts but they look nice when they are not subjected to the dreaded flash of my camera. I have been having some issues with my tights recently, the elastic seems to have completely gone in all of them and they fall down every four steps. I go through a ridiculous number of tights in a year, I wear them nearly everyday and they have to be at least 60 denier. I am in serious need of a trip to primark to stock up (I have been known to spend £20 just on tights in there, yes I do get funny looks). Is is mad that I would struggle to dress myself I had no black tights? even in summer? As always I blame my mother for my addiction, she is also a lover of black tights and claims that black tights can finish off any outfit. I think she might be right but don't tell her that.
