Skirt - ASOS Curve // Shirt* - ASOS Curve // Cardigan* - Very // Shoes - New Look // Necklace* - ASOS // Bag - ASOS // Ring - Lipsy // Bow - New Look
The people over at Most Wanted (the lifestyle magazine from Vouchercodes.co.uk) recently challenged me to "wear your wardrobe", which involved picking out 3 new items to jazz up some of my old barely worn clothes. I'd recently had a clearout/eBay sale, so most of my clothes are ones I wear fairly regularly, but I picked out a skirt I hadn't worn since last October for the challenge.
The items we bought had to come £80
or under, so I picked out a dalmatian print cardi (£27, a raccoon print shirt (£35) & a diamante necklace (£15). Now I didn't have to wear them all in one outfit, but I think they went pretty well together, so I also added a bag & shoes I hadn't worn/used in forever
to complete my look.
I did take some pics of other outfit combos as well (seeing as I probably won't get a chance to post another outfit for a while & I'm supposed to be showing all the ways the new things can bring my old things to life!), combining some more of my barely worn/never worn items with the new things.
How lovely is this (handmade) feather skirt? I've never worn it, it's a bit uncomfortable, & very impractical, but it would look super nice paired with my new cardigan & necklace. Or in the outfit below, my Evans frilly dress that I've only worn twice, paired with the raccoon shirt.
I can definitely see these 3 things renewing my wardrobe, having to buy things with this in mind definitely made me think about what I chose more. Normally I just buy things & co-ord them later, but this can lead to unworn items, which is such a waste!

Very playful and very cute! Ever since being introduced to "Cupcake's Clothes" from a fellow blogger, I have enjoyed your sense of style in your many posts. This one is very lovely! Your sense of style is amazing.

It looks perfect. Especially in G&G's garden.
ReplyDeleteYou need to wear that feather skirt combo soon. Would look cute!

Oh my, I am totally in love with that cardigan <3 I don't own anything dalmatian print and now I NEED to! xx
ReplyDeleteAww I love it your outfit is so cute I really love the cardigan where is it from? Xx
ReplyDeleteYour outfits are always amazing, but this one has to be one of my favorites. I especially love the detail with the necklace peeking through under the collar, and you manage to make the black still look very sweet and "you"!
ReplyDeleteThe other outfits are beautiful as well, I think I have to look into finding a feather skirt now :)
You look so lovely. And I love the background of these photos.

I've recently been looking for some more business cas. shirts to wear to work with all the stuff I already have, and I immediately fell in love with this raccoon shirt. I'm so glad to see a couple of examples of it looking fabulous. It makes me want to purchase it even more!

I always buy things and then find I don't have anything to wear them with! I might try taking on your new attitude to buying clothes too.

Love all three of the outfits! The last combination is definitely my favorite. I don't have many casual buttondowns but you are tempting me to get one to wear under dresses :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a daring yet cute outfit. :)

Very good point! When I was younger I just bought things I liked, and I would never work it any new way or I would just stop wearing it. So now I always try to think before I buy, and if I have old clothes I don't wear I try to think about what I could do to re-vamp them up so I would wear it more often.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovel idea. I also enjoy seeing you in black, because it is such a contrast to your usual outfits and becaude as you knkw i looove black.
ReplyDeleteThe Cardi is so pretty, I would totally go for it!
very charming

You're so lovely, and your blouse amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou always have incredible tastes in fashion <3
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm very partial to this outfit, but that's probably because I wear a lot of black... hehe! That racoon shirt is soooo cute!!! I need one for myself!
ReplyDeleteLove the cardi : )
ReplyDeleteGreat outfits , you look fabulous ! Love the hair too. I read about fat fashion blogger in the daily mail and found this blog when i googled. Ive been feeling a bit down as i find it hard to get fashionable /funky / sexy /quirky clothes in my size ( uk 18-20) . I love the vintage/retro but its all usually teeny tiny sizes. You have inspired me , i need to sort out a paypal acc and start shopping online instead of trawling the shops full of nice things that only go up to a 16. Keep up the good work.

LOVE THIS OUTFIT!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinetely added your blog in my bookmarks :--) <3!
ReplyDeleteI love your hair. It colours up the black and white Styling. :)
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing!
