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 

PEACE XO

GOING ALL NUDE

[Dress - Primark (£13)]

[Shoes - Primark SALE (£3)]

[Bag - Primark SALE (£1)]

Perks of working on the returns desk is being able to grab the returns before they go back on the shop floor at the reduced price (if they've gone in the sale) So these gorg mules were a right bargain at £3! Even though they were slightly too big, I had to have them for £3 it just had to be done. Also a perk is seeing what comes into the store every week/ seeing if there is anything new, like this lovely nude/beige dress. Even though I feel like I look like a bag of spuds in it, it would look lovely on a night out! It was also a little big so it had to go back. Also the material was a put off because it's ever so easily stained which are quite hard to get out so it's not my favourite but is a lovely style dress!

I thought I would do some posts with some outfits with toned down colour to show some versatility and that I'm not a one trick pony when it comes to outfits and styling! Having blue/green hair though sometimes makes it a struggle when you're trying to go for the natural/earthy/nude look as my wig is not natural, earthy or nude in the slightest! I would definitely wear this for a cute little meal out one night to somewhere nice if I was to wear it somewhere once or twice but for something to keep, I don't think it's very me! 

THANK YOU XO 

PROBABLY MORE T-SHIRT THAN DRESS....

[Top/Dress - Primark]

[Coatigan - The Ragged Preist]

[Sunglasses - Primark]

[Shoes - Topshop]

[Lipstick - Makeup Revolution]

 Not much colour to this outfit other than my hair, I wanted to try a change with my style and try an outfit without colour. I think this top would look great with some white culottes or shorts, with maybe some vertical stripes on. I thought it would go fab also with my king kong coatigan from The Ragged Priest! 

I like the fact its quite a greyscale outfit, until you get to my hair and get a woosh of colour which goes really well with they grey! Just shows that coloured hair can be more versatile than people initially think, you don't always have to be the worlds biggest colour palette!

I also have quite subtle makeup on with some DARK lippy which is great which the black coat to give a kind of gothy look. It could be called a stylish goth look but maybe not with the length of this dress..

I was also thinking that I could get wrapped up in this coatigan with a belt but enough so you could still see the top, I think that could be another way to wear it. Baring in mind I did get this top in a size 18 to make sure it would fit overlarge and something that I could maybe wear over a bikini and multi-use! Trying to get the most out of my clothes as usual!!

PEACE! XO

SUMMER MAXI DRESS FEATURING NEW VIVIENNE WESTWOOD

[Dress - Walton Street Market]

[Shoes - Topshop]

[Head Chain - Primark]

[Handbag - Vivienne Westwood]

[Belt - Primark]

[Necklace - Tatty Devine]

[Sunglasses - Primark]

I just did this outfit post on a wim as I need to get back into regular posting which is easier said than done at the moment because of my hectic work life! I don't think I've shown off this dress at the yet but I don't know why because it's so lush! I managed to get it from market for £2 and it's worth a lot more than that, it has a cute black and white pattern on it and I JUST LOVE. I like that the pattern on this dress goes vertical too because it is meant to elongate you and make you look that little bit taller and thinner, which from these photos I think is a lie because I still look short and plumpy! but each to their own. Much rather them go vertical than horizontal as apparently they make you look wider, but I definitely don't need to look any wider so I stay away from them as much as possible, especially on tight things!

Please excuse the bad photos, they're not my finest ones I shall be on top form soon especially when  I can get back into exercising after my back problems and can feel and look thinner! I still wanted to post this post because of the outfit I really like it and I apologise again that it's not my best post!

Thanks for reading this short post and please bare with me I will be back soon!!

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!

PURPLE SMURPLE!

[Dress - Motel]

[Harness - eBay]

[Socks - Boohoo.com]

[Necklace - Tatty Devine]

[Shoes - YRU]

Sorry I haven't posted in a while I've been busy trying to get my job back at Primark and I would love to say I was successful in getting it back which I am ever so happy about! and also I have been trying to sort out about how I go about going to see my best friend next week in Germany! I've booked my flights but nothing else I know nothing about what happens when I get there or how to even get on an aeroplane as the last time I got on one I was 6 and don't remember so in my eyes I've never been on a plane! AND to make things worse I am going on it on my own... great! 

Todays outfit was ALL about my second favourite colour! For some reason it reminds me about metallic space-ness, perhaps it's the little alien on the back of the YRU's...

This motel dress I've wanted since it first came out online but never had any money to pay for it from the motel website, and then it sold out/went off the website and I thought my life was over.. UNTIL some gem was selling it on eBay and I found it at the right time and it only cost me 99p with £2.80 postage! I couldn't believe my luck and now its my favourite dress! I am in the slow process of shedding a few pounds so thats why it may look VERY tight on me right now but that will give me motivation to loose weight! 

 I did buy it before my hair was so purple though so it may have looked a little better without the vibrant purple hair to compare with! My necklace from tatty devine has its own post in another part of my blog if you wanna take a look at it more because they are beautiful things! best £50 I've spent in a long while!!

Thank you for reading my post! (sorry it's so short) 

PEACE! 

FLORAL 70's OOTD featuring FISHNET TIGHTS AND YRU

When I was raking out my wardrobe from the past 7 months at uni (the time I had my bad shopping obsession) I found this gem of a dress although it's officially the shortest dress in history! I also got a size about too thinking it would be longer! The dress is from Primark it only cost me £3 which is a bargain! and I didn't even know it had flared sleeves till I got it home! 

My fishnet tights are from eBay only a couple of quid as I wanted big holed ones and my YRU platforms like usual, the link is in one of my previous posts but some people are selling them on depop if anyones interested! I got my harness from eBay too and my necklace from tatty devine, see previous post for link and write up about my new necklace!

I do think this dress is a little short but I don't think getting larger sizes will help as they get wider rather than longer so don't be fooled! and also i'm only 5ft6 so it's not like I am terribly tall, it maybe worth wearing a pair of cycling shorts underneath or hot pants but everyones different! 

I am struggling with what hair colour to experiment with next as my colourants fade so quickly does anyone have any suggestions with what hair colour I can go next?

Thank you for reading!

PEACE!

Rockin' Summer

I wanted to do a summery–ish styled post and I thought it would be a great time to try my new £1 floral leotard from PRIMARK.  It’s inspired by a gothic rock summer because of all the music I was listening too yesterday, BVB, slipknot, Metallica, ACDC and loads of other rock/metal bands (which I am a big fan of may I add)

I do need to start posting more about my own style as I have so many clothes I want to show people and wear in more ways. I will try and post a lot more frequently because I like to at least think someone is reading what I’m posting.

Todays outfit isn’t very casual it’s more of an event outfit or possibly festival, would look fab paired with some glittery wellies.  I decided to go for a maxi sheer dress because you can wear almost anything or nothing under it and wear for different occasions; dress up or down it’s from PRETTY LITTLE THING (£5). The reason for the miley buns is purely a quick fix for greasy hair and for extra greasy (like mine this morning) a bit of sparkle glitter paste from TOPSHOP (£1) does wonders! The boots are form EBAY CHINA (£13) a cute present from my boyf at Christmas. The lipstick is STARGAZER (£2.50) mixed with MUA black lipstick from SUPERDRUG (£1). The cute little bindi is from CAMDEN MARKET (£1) and hoops set of 5 sizes from PRIMARK (£1) these earrings have lasted me years and are such a fab buy!! (Y) I hand made the elastic choker necklace with the pendant from EBAY, the tattoo chokers are from EBAY too. And finally my sunglasses are MOSCHINO from TKMAXX (£12) bargain buy I am in love with them and cant wait to give them a good running this summer!

I hope you like my post and thank you for reading, if you want to ask me any questions feel free to comment or get in contact don’t forget to follow me on social media showing off work that I do as a fashion comms student and are happy to do work for people.
