OOTD - Bank Holiday Drinks

If there's one thing us Brits love, it's a bank holiday weekend.. throw in some sun & pay-day Friday and it's basically Christmas come early.

In our eyes the perfect way to celebrate this extra day of freedom is (of course) to head out for a few too many drinks which perfect after a long week in the office. Not wanting to break tradition I skipped home from work & quickly got changed before heading out to a local bar with some friends.

Top: Primark - £8.00

Skirt: Boo Hoo  - £10.00 [x]

Tights: M&S - £5.00 [x]

Boots: New Look - £20.00 [x]

(I picked these up a while ago so have linked similar) 

As you can see I decided to opt for my leather-look skater skirt with a navy chiffon top. I personally love anything "skater-style" as I find it perfect for covering up those lumps and bumps around my stomach area (thanks a lot, pizza!). As we weren't heading anywhere particularly fancy, I also decided to keep the look relativity smart-causal with a tights/boots combination. Before heading out the door I finished this look by adding a leather-look jacket & a small clutch bag to carry the essentials. 

Overall this is a look that I love as it's something that can easily be dressed up or down & is perfect for any occasion. I hope you liked this little OOTD post & if you have any plans for the bank holiday weekend I'd love to know!

Easter Bank Holiday - OOTD

As the weather seems to finally be brightening up I thought it was time to ditch my winter coats in favour of some more spring appropriate clothing. 

Don't get me wrong - I love snuggling in my winters coats & wrapping up warm (plus I'm very grateful for them when battling  my way to work in the rain/wind) but I love when it starts to finally get warm enough to go out in a simple jacket & eventually *dare I say it?!* no jacket at all!

I do find the weather around this time of year a little tricky though.. It's definitely the "do I/don't I need a jacket" or "will I be too warm in jeans?" weather.. but it's much much better then bitter cold and what seems like constant rain. 

With the beautifully long Easter weekend just gone - I thought it would be a waster not to pop out & make the most of the sunshine as I usually spend my day at a desk staring at my computer... So what better excuse to put together a little Outfit Of The Day Post?!

Even thought the sun has started shining *yay* I still decided to play it safe by taking out my scarf. Simply because it's that time of the year where the mornings/evenings are chilly, so you need a little extra layer or two. But I loved wandering around again in leggings and a jackets & not having to worry about feeling freezing.

I now cannot wait to update my wardrobe ready for summer & find excuses to wander around in summer dresses/shorts/skirts again!
