Hello again! This is another work outfit I wore the other day and I stupidly did that without tights *MASSIVE FACE PALM* but other than that I loved it! I'm so lucky with where I work that I am able to wear almost what I like and therefore get the chance to express my personal style. Also I am surprisingly loving this cold weather, it's given me the opportunity to wear all my coats and jackets I obsessively collect in the winter and forget about over the summer. This jacket here is an oldie but definitely a goodie and a steal at that! I got it in the UO sale a couple of Christmas Eve's ago (when I wasn't a retail bitch and had that day off) and it has served me well. Fur never goes out of winter trends, even if it's pink, it also goes with a lot and is cosy as hell. 
The rest of the outfit is relatively new- I think I may have mentioned a few posts ago how very into skirts I am at the moment and this one is a definite fave. They are massive sellers in Topshop at the moment and they also have it in black and grey, I personally opted for the white as I thought considering I have hundreds of black leather items a white one may just mix things up a little bit! I teamed it with my plain black crop tee just because I feel the skirt is quite a statement piece and i want the outfit to still look clean.
The boots are quite possibly my most beloved possession at this point, I got them about three weeks ago and they have barely left my feet since, I wanted them for ages and found the one pair in my size! FATE I'M TELLING YA! And the best thing about them is that for an ankle boot they are relatively comfy and I can wear them with pretty much anything... they're just amaaazing. I'm pretty annoyed I couldn't get a decent enough photo of them though but I'll link them here . They also come in tonnes of different colours/styles and if I could own them all I'd be a very happy lady.
Accessories for this outfit l I have kept reasonably to a minimum. The hat is a vintage family hand me down which my mother recently discovered, I love that it's not just your're average fedora or bowler hat; it's a lot bolder than that but still simple and chic. Glittery socks had to be done because black would just be boring (tights next time though) and the necklace is an old one and actually a bit beaten up but hey i'm still wearing it!
So that's it. Will also post it LOOKBOOK on a bit later! Enjoy...

GUNS N' ROSES TEE - VINTAGE
PVC SKIRT & SOCKS - TOPSHOP
SHOES, NECKLACE & BRACLET - EBAY
OVERSIZED SHIRT/JACKET - CHARITY SHOP
LIPSTICK - MAC (FILM NOIR)


Today I wore this little ensemble to work and I've got to say its one of my comfiest work outfits to date (excluding the brand new shoes). I wear this tee all the time around the house because it's so damn comfy but when I teamed it with my PVC skirt the inner goth/grunge misfit came out in me! The skirt I got about a week or so ago has to be my favourite item at the moment, I never thought I'd see PVC as such a versatile piece but, seriously, I can not stop wearing it. I did get the TALL version though as I just wanted a little bit of extra length just to be safe! I think the shoes are awesome and I had so many nice comments on them however I think I almost broke a toe and the shoes are currently being stretched so I can wear them again (fingers crossed). I have linked them but I'd definitely suggest getting a size bigger to avoid the ungodly pain I suffered today. The whole "new age goth" look was not complete with out a big oversized black shirt jacket; I've been searching ebay trying to find something similar but picked this one up in charity shop for a fiver or so the other day and I'm in love and obviously had to whip out the dark lipstick as well. MAC is a winner everytime!

AN INSIGHT

I'm new to blogging so for my first post I just thought I'd give an insight to my life and my style. These photos begin from about March time and the reel ends with me posing in my skanky work toilets and posing as a sparkley mermaid last week!

Me, Myself? I am Bethany Louisa May Powers (or just Beth to most) and I am 19 years old, from Surrey, UK and I fudging love fashion and I've made this little blog to share that. I'd like to think I have a unique style, I love layering and getting something really pretty and teaming it with something grungy but in all honesty I'm kind of unpredictable so we'll see what happens! I currently work at Topshop so a lot of items I wear are from there but I'm a bargain hunter and spend most nights scrolling through Ebay and most pay days trekking around local charity shops.

So be patient with me while I start off but I'm just here to share my favourite things with the whole wide world :)

hope you all like it. Beth x x
