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! 

PEACE!

MUMS HAVE THE BEST VINTAGE CLOTHES!

[Boots - Kurt Geiger]
[Sunglasses - Primark]
[Top - Vintage Shop]
[Flares - Boohoo.com]
[Jacket - Mum's Wardrobe]
[Necklace - Tatty Devine]
[Harness - eBay]


I've been loving my flares since last summer when I got the amazing Forever 21 black floral bells last summer but as they were just too big for me I had to sell and even though these flares are nothing on my last years ones I am still in love! They were only £6 or something stupid like that from boohoo.com it was a right bargain! As flares are a big thing this summer I thought I'd do another post that has them in, even though I did one earlier this year if you wanted to read more about them further down my blog!  
The crochet top was a very good bargain (at the time as it doesn't really fit me and now is on my depop) it ties at the back and it halter-neck it's so pretty on but just doesn't suit me and is a bit small for me! But at the time couldn't resist! It was from a small vintage/boutique shop from Princes Quay in Hull (also came in camel and pink and camel and mint which were both lush too but I could only afford one :( [SAD LIFE OF A STUDENT] so if you want to buy this amazingly gorgeous top that doesn't fit me then head to my depop (annahodgson) and feel free to buy! :D

The main part of this blog post is this AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS black leather fringed biker jacket! It's my mums and she got it in 1988/89 and it's been all over on the back of my dad's motorbike, all over the UK and Germany too! (It's lasted longer than my dads motorbike!) I thought it complimented this outfit quite well especially when brands and shops at the moments are creating replicas of such jackets for this seasons fashion, having a real one from the 80's really is a lot better because not only does it have history thats older than me but when it's your favourite person on this earths jacket it really means something to you and makes you love it a lot more! 

Finally my boots! I love them! Kurt Geiger block heeled boots, they're not the comfiest things ever but, who cares! they look good. These photos don't do them justice at all but I swear they are SO amazing! They should be, they cost enough! I wish I got to wear them more but after 2 hours my feet feel like they want to give up and go home without me and they aren't even high, like at all. how odd.
but I love them all the same!






Thank you for reading my blog and hope you like this styling
