If you were born in the 80's

Heyyy Mixbagers!  Below are a few quick snaps of a casual day outfit I wore recently to my internship when Spring was trying to make its way through! I have no idea what happened to my hair that day - but it seems to have gone XXL so I look like I'm channeling a bit of an 80's vibe with big hair and a denim shirt haha!  

I'm wearing my fave little mini dress from Topshop (honestly it's so good for layering, you can easily pop it under jumpers, or with cardigans etc!) denim shirt from Oasis and Cross Necklace from Matalan. I hadn't shopped in Matalan for... errr actually I couldn't tell you how long ago, but found some great and very cheap little jewellery pieces in there when I popped in last month, so I recommend it if you need to pick up a couple of things at a purse friendly price! I've teamed this casual look with my classic heeled boots from Miss Selfridge and felt super comfy! I'm not wearing any bracelets or rings which is quite unlike me - but because I work all day on a laptop they only clang against the desk so I figured it was probably for the sake of the office I didn't wear my usual amount!

Sparkle Roll Sleeve Mini Dress // Topshop // £26
Tallulah Western Shirt // Oasis // £30
Cross Necklace // Matalan // £5

She acts like summer and walks like rain.

Hello hello!

So I thought it was about time to pop up a new outfit post! Those of you who follow me on Instagram (Username: fashionmixbag) will recognise my t-shirt as I somehow managed to go from owning zero fun tops to receiving two on my birthday, as they were both gifts from different friends! What that says about me as a person I have no idea! But I thought I would have some fun with them and re-live a bit of festival style with this You Only Live Once one!

 In the run up to Bestival I was kindly sent this fab waterproof jacket from Bravesoul, thinking that it would be classic torrential weather! But against all the odds, as you probably remember, it was a scorcher of a weekend so I didn't manage to test it out till now when Autumn has set in! Although I have to say, packing it was a dream! It folds up so small and weighs next to nothing, so it was perfect to take as an emergency festival jacket!

Waterproof: c/o  Bravesoul £20
Necklace: Accessorize £18
Denim Shirt & Shorts: Topshop N/A
Shoes: Converse Navy All Star £40
Top: Gift from friend

 I've put it together with my classic converse, Topshop denim shirt & purple denim shorts and this gorgeous beaded collar necklace I recently bought from Accessorize. As you can see, the jacket has a great draw string waist that adds a lot more shape than your average waterproof and it even has cute little bows to girlie it up :) The cocoon-ing hood is also much appreciated to keep away the rain, especially if you have naturally super frizzy hair like me!

It's made me really want the festival season all over again even though I know we couldn't be further from it! What do you all think? Have you got a fun graphic tee you love to wear?

PS. As I mentioned at the beginning of the post I am now on Instagram! I recently joined the Iphone crew finally about 5 years after everyone else did, but hey, I'm making up for it now! I don't actually know what I did before without it! But anyway, yes, the point of this is to say you can now follow me on Instagram!  Username: Fashionmixbag
