Hi everyone!!! I thought I would make my first OFFICIAL post as two posts in one because I love you all!
So I thought I’d post a OOTD post as well as a What’s In My Bag post!
What’s In My Bag
Last week I went into Primark to get myself some new tights. Not only did I get those tights, I also got an eyebrow pencil (this was a necessary purchase) AND a brand new bag! Treat yo self ❤
The bag I bought was G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S because it was see-through and had a holographic detail to it, very 90’s, I thought wow it’s small enough to look cute and yet large enough for all of my everyday stuff!
The only thing was though… it wasn’t just any bag it turned out I had bought a make up bag! Hahah! Still, I’ve still used it as a regular bag and I have received many compliments off it 🙂
Also because I’m an art nerd I just HAD to doodle it!
Make-up bag, £6, Primark
Aaaaand this is all the stuff I carry in my gorgeous bag!
- Small pouch – I went through a phase in like 2011 where I wanted to be as indie as possible and buy all my stuff from Etsy! Sadly I can’t remember the shop I got it from but it’s come in so handy and I still use it to keep small things in so they don’t get lost in my bag (e.g. USB stick, card reader etc).
- Purse – Again, I bought this purse back in 2011 from an Etsy shop! I wish I remember where I bought it from for the life of me! In my purse I carry my every day make up like my NYX matte lippy (Bedtime Flirt obv), nail polish for any emergency touch-ups and my compact mirror.
- Purse – I bought this in late 2016 because my old purse was getting quite tatty (it wasn’t the Etsy purse, it was another one!) and I needed something new!
- Pencil case – As an artist, I’m always drawing so I always take my pencil case with me! I bought this particular one from Paperchase because I thought it was funny.
- Lunch box, with lunch in it obv – Instead of buying food when I’m out I always make my lunch at home and then bring it into work! I started doing this in late 2016 and I’ve saved so much money ever since!
- Banana.
- BO spray.
- Phone charger.
- Apple.
- Notebook – I bought a notebook in mid 2016 from Paperchase which had a detachable cover on it, which was this parrot cover! So it meant that if I filled an entire notebook up, I’d take it out of the cover and put a new notebook in! So handy and besides if I was an animal I’d be a colourful parrot because colourful parrot is my AESTHETHIC! ❤
- Diary – I bought this from Paperchase a few months back but for the life of me I can’t remember how much it cost. I think it was around £6-7 but I’m not sure! I fell in love with it though because it had pineapples on it :’)
Outfit of the Week!
My favourite outfit of the week is!….(drum roll)……
- Headband, Primark.
- Glasses, H&M (I know, I’m a poser but to be fair I look cute af with them on!)
- Earrings, H&M (They’re much more burgundy irl.)
- Scarf, H&M (I bought this in like 2013 but there are loads of these types of scarves in a lot of shops these days! I’m sure I saw one in Primark the other week.)
- Ring, Etsy.
- Jumper, COW Liverpool.
- Dungaree dress, Primark.
- See through spotty tights, Primark.
- Shoes, Primark.
I have to warn yous though, I bought a lot of this stuff years ago so they might not be in the shops anymore! (With the exception of the earrings and the tights maybe). However, if you like this look then you can always find similar stuff in town! 🙂
I picked this outfit as OOTW because even though it’s quite a subtle look for me, it’s comfy af and it’s a quick look to throw together when I’m in a rush. However, I love that I avoided looking scruffy by putting on a number of accessories like my headband and earrings to really dress up my outfit, as well as my mustard yellow scarf as I feel like it helps complement out the autumn colour scheme perfectly!
What’s been your OOTW? I wanna see in the comments below! ❤
