NUDE

[Dress - TKMAXX - (SALE £3)]

[Bag - Primark - (SALE £1)]

[Shoes - PRIMARK - (SALE £3)]

So a full outfit for £7..  I think that pretty amazing really!

This dress from TKMAXX retailed at over £15 and was in their huge final clearance sale in my local store in Hull. The dropped hem also looks good lifted up with a belt and is gives such a smart/casual look great for both daytime and night time wear. The nude colour of the dress is also on trend at the moment which makes it all the better. I just love the fact you don't have to pay a lot of money to look nice! It's good really because at the moment I am SUPER skint (reason for all the not very colourful and out there posts) 

I really liked this dress when I saw it because I thought for the price it would be great for some nice days out and the silky material hung really nicely! It also went goes with my hair which is good because a lot of formal things I buy to go with my hair either have to be a bold colour to contrast or black (maybe white but it makes me look fatter than I am so I think about it first) So sometimes it's tricky!

So if you are looking for a bargain at the moment TKMAXX have a lot of great unique stuff in and what I like about that shop is the fact that all the shops sell different things. I don't really rate their website as much as their store though! Especially for bargains. HAPPY SHOPPING XO

TIALS LIFE

[Crop Top -  TIALS ]

[Jeans - LEVI (VINTAGE)]

[Glasses - Primark]

[Hair - Bleach London]

 Love my TIALS Crop top, the logo straps on the back make it such a great top. It literally goes with everything I own which is fab and it can be worn as/without a bra!! It goes so well with my make shift ragged priest jeans which I DIY'ed when I couldn't afford the real ones! My jeans were £1 from the charity shop and I did the cutting myself therefore I saved a lot of money on these as on the ragged priest website they're quite expensive for what they are.

I paired them together because they're quite rebel-like and against the norm, would have looked fab with a silver or gold chain (if i owned one) and some other statement jewellery then I could have pretended I was jenny from the block...

THE NEW VINTAGE ORANGE SUIT... MY COLOUR? HELP!

So today I visited my favourite Age UK charity shop today down Holderness Road in Hull and discovered this beauty! I've been looking recently in places like Topshop and Zara for casual/nice looking trousers and jacket suits, I've seen some nice ones really but the price of some are a bit off putting, especially with how fast fashion is nowadays and how my job/student loan is the tiniest thing ever. Anyone else in my shoes will understand my frustration at the fact there is so many nice clothes out there but when you have no money to cover it or even if you do, the fact you have to ration what you can buy per month is so off putting! I WISH LIKE EVERYONE THAT MONEY GREW ON TREES!

but back to today's find, I spent a whole £4.50 in the charity shop today on 5 items in total! I was able to get a baby pink adidas top, a Dolce and Gabanna top, a 90's sequin style strappy top and this two piece suit! All the tops we're £1 and the suit was £1.50.  I will post photos of the other things I bought today in another post when I have found out what I can style them with! But nevertheless an absolute bargain if I do say so myself. Oh and to top it off I went to the shop around the corner and got a almost brand new pair of lilac converse for £5! FIVE POUNDS! yep thats exactly what I thought too!

I just styled this suit with a simple black cami as I don't intend on taking it off when it's worn as it's quite thin which is a good thing for summer! To match my black cami these gorgeous black flatform slip ons fro Topshop work perfectly with the short legged trousers! and they're now in the sale only £15!! I would recommend getting a size or 2 bigger though because of they style, I had to get a size 8! Odd I know as I am only a size 6 but an 8! damn! but still they look uber lovely on my tootsies! 

I am unsure if it goes with my back to blue hair! but I aren't sure I mind too much because I just love the suit and it's so comfy! Also it just proves how amazing charity shops can be! As I say I will be posting more about the other items I bought in another post so keep your eyes peeled!!

Feel free to comment!

SHADE LONDON TENNIS DRESS.. SO 90'zzzz

[Dress - Shade London]

[Bag - Monki]

[Jacket - Afflecks]

[Shoes - YRU]

[Sunglasses - Primark]

[Necklace - Tatty Devine]

[Fishnet Socks - Primark]

I haven't had much time to post this week because of me getting a new (old) job and trying to sort out Germany as that's where I am going on Saturday! I thought I'd show off this dress again because I think is super cute! and very 90's sports! I've always really liked the stuff from Shade London but since I am a poor student was never able to afford anything from there, UNTIL my cute boyfriend bought me this for my 20th birthday!

Pairing this gorg dress with my now not so white YRU sandals and some cutie fishnet socks that match my jacket and hair was a fab decision, I feel so coordinated right now.

The sporty feel from this vintage bomber complimented the dress as it's quite hard to find something to go well with it especially because it's so summery and short, it's meant to be worn alone but today was too cold for that! 

My bag was a huge bargain from MONKI in the sale for £10 got it around april time and think it's sold out now! 

I do love this dress a lot, but it is quite see through, have to have some certain underwear (if any) to wear with it because the slightest pattern would show so bad underneath! So I would definitely either, if you're close to a 10 get the next size up or make sure you're at least a 6-8 to fit in the dress without it being see through!

Please excuse my awful colour hair in this post, I am trying at the moment to get it a nice subtle EVEN colour but as you can imagine its easier said than done! If you want to know more about my hair I have a previous post on what I used/how I did it! 

Still in love with the ombrè lips though I used the purple shade from makeup revolution and the black shade from MUA both lipsticks £1 each and then used a brush to create an ombrè effect on the outside.

Thank you for reading my post! feel free to comment and don't forget to follow me on Instagram @annahodgson!

EBAY CHINA FOREVER

[Two Piece - eBay]

[Fishnet Tights - eBay]

[Trainers - Nike]

I've always being a big fan of eBay the clothing shops/boutiques on there and I have being buying occasionally for a good few years! As I am going to Germany soon I wanted to get a few pieces from eBay China for my travels that would fit in my case so I could take more! Ordering from eBay China is just as easy as normal eBay (obviously) but just takes a bit longer than usual to get to you! The items from eBay are very small simple designs and come in VERY small sizes (as I've worked out) but after a few purchases you get to know the averages sizes (I predict it at about 2 sizes smaller than UK sizes) I bought this little two piece as a test to go under a mesh/crochet dress I have to wear this summer! Both pieces cost me approx £5 which is a really good price and took approx 2 weeks to get to me but all arrived well and good! :D I also got the fishnet tights from there too as they cost something like 80p and it's good when you're not bothered about having them ASAP because it's a nice surprise when they do finally arrive! The fishnet stockings I was pleasantly surprised by them as they were 'one size' so I thought to myself that they definitely wouldn't fit me in a million years but they did!  

I will be doing a few more blog posts in the future about more of my cheap eBay China buys so if you're interested then keep checking back!

I will also link up to the items as soon as I re-find them on eBay.

PEACE
