Casual outfit

Hey everyone! 

I hope you're all have a good week. I've got another fashion related post for you today. This is why I wore when the weather was cloudy and overcast t the weekend. It's simple, yet still doesn't just blend into the background. 

My top is a bargain purchase from a charity shop for £1, originally from Primark. It has a gorgeous burnt out lace effect and is navy in colour. It can be worn without a top underneath as it isn't too sheer, however if you're slightly less confident, or wanted to wear it to work, a  cami/vest top would look nice worn under it too. It is oversized and hangs very nicely. I think navy compliments my skin tone well and I love wearing this top casual or dressed up.

My jeans are from George at Asda. I am unsure of the exact price, but I believe they were around £8 and were a gift from my mum a couple of years ago. They are extremely skinny fit and are more like jeggings than actual jeans. As they are quite tight, I like to wear a nice loose top with them.

My shoes are Nike Air Max 1 leopard print. These are now extremely hard to come by and are even more expensive! I managed to get my pair from eBay. I love them and practically live in them. I like to wear them with any of my clothes but feel they always look best when put with some tight bottoms. They cost me a whopping £150!! But I know that most brand new pairs go for a lot more than that now as they are so rare and were a limited edition.

For jewellery I am wearing my panda face watch from Asos. You will find this watch on my wrist almost every day as I am a little obsessed with it. I had it in my saved list on Asos for quite some time, and I managed to get it for £14 in the sale. I find it easy to style with any outfit and it definitely makes a statement! I also chose some beaded bracelets to stack on my other wrist. I got a massive bundle from a charity shop a couple of years back for £1. I find beaded bracelets add a nice summery feel to my outfit.

Tartan outfit of the day!

Hey beauts!

So I have been dying to wear a jumper for about 2 weeks now, but the weather has just been too good to us for once!! The weekend has been a lot cooler than in the week so I seized the opportunity! 

My style is quite quirky, and stands out. I dress in clothes I like, and everyone's entitled to their opinions, but it won't affect my style :).

I rocked out my 4 year old tartan mini skirt that I got from Topshop. I can honestly say, I have never seen anyone else wearing it and I'm in love with this piece! It is quite short, but definitely N essential to my wardrobe. It is difficult to style many other patterned pieces with it, so I make it the main focus of my outfit. 

My grey oversized jumper is one of my bargain finds from a carboot sale for 50p! It's from H&M originally and I am so glad I picked it up! Because its oversized, it gives the outfit a more casual look. I also wanted a cover up on my top half, as I already had a lot of skin out on my bottom half! I tucked the front into my skirt just to show of my figure and give a bit more shape to the outfit.

My over the knee ribbed socks are from Topshop. They add edge to any outfit, and I think they make a nice change from tights. This look wouldn't be complete without them! There are so many lengths and colours of socks on the market, so it's a really simple yet effective way to change an entire look! I love them! 

My Nike Air Max 1's are a huge passion of mine! They were a limited edition and were very hard to come by! I got this pair from eBay and hold them close to my heart. As they have quirky leopard print, it just adds that little bit extra to finish the outfit off. Again, these also add a more casual look to the outfit. I couldn't be without them. 

Jewellery wise, I have stacked some coloured bead bracelets to add a little extra colour to the look and they are perfect for summer. I got a bulk buy of bracelets from a charity shop.I am also wearing my amazing panda watch from Asos which I am in love with!! It just brings a bit of fun to my look, and I wear it almost religiously everyday. Finally, I have my re-worked dragonfly necklace. It's nice and simple, yet still makes a nice subtle statement. 

I have uploaded a full video of my outfit onto my YouTube channel :

New Blog!!

New Blog
 
Hello my beauties!
 
You may know me from my old blog, Charlotte's fashion and beauty inspiration, or you may be new here! Either way,  hello :)
 
So, I am starting from scratch as I was very slack with updating my previous blog. It is still there for all to read, however, I felt a fresh start may well be the kick start I needed....
 
So let me start by telling you a bit about myself.
 
I'm Charlotte, 21 years young and I work in an opticians. I am very content with life at the moment, and am trying to make the most out of every opportunity to fulfil my dreams,
 
I live with my mum, step-dad and my niece. I have a dog called Flo, who is my world and has got me through very hard times. I also have a tortoise called Theodore and 3 fish. We have another family dog called Jake and 3 chickens.
 
I work as an optical assistant in a small independent opticians with my best friend Amy. I thoroughly enjoy what I do, and have every intention of furthering my education in optics.
 
I started making Youtube videos about a year ago now, and the first step was very nerve wracking! I have been watching Youtube videos for about three years and decided to take the plunge and start sharing my ideas with everyone. I am steadily building an audience on my channel, and am growing in confidence every day, My videos mainly focus on beauty and fashion, as these are keen interests of mine.
 
From Youtubing, I then began to blog, but I feel my heart wasn't truly in it. So, I plan to start a fresh, and set aside time to plan and create posts, and make it as much of a passion of mine as Youtube is.
 
Please feel free to follow me on my journey, and if you have any tips, they are greatly appreciated!
 
Speak soon!
 
Charlotte
