PLAID SKIRT feat LA MODA SANDALS

As i'd mentioned in my previous post, i'd been shopping with my friend in Manchester. Unfortunately, there wasn't much time to whip the camera out and take some pictures of my outfit, so decided to re-create the look before I go to work today.  Somehow.. accidentally.. I ordered clothes from New Look whilst I'm supposed to be saving.. ANYWAY, I completely fell in love with these two pieces in particular, and they actually go together like a dream!  The top is just a simple 'waffle material' tee, and is possibly the definition of 'smart-casual', as it can be worn for any occasion, (paired with the right clothes).  I seem to have developed a wild obsession with plaid skirts in these gorgeous brushed wool materials, and to-date, I own six, (oops). They're so cute and girly, and with New Look insisting on bringing out new ones all the time, how am I to resist?! I only received these beautiful shoes in the post today, so I hadn't originally wore them with this outfit, but.. wow. How amazing are they?! I recently discovered La Moda through other bloggers, and I haven't looked back since. I can't fault them. From style, to price and to delivery time! I was hoping to purchase the lilac jellies as well, but unfortunately they were out of stock. I highly recommend checking their website out, La Moda, I promise you will be in awe at their stock.  I've shown this coat in a post previously, which you can view following the link 'coat'. I've been using this bag non-stop since it arrived. I can't find it online anymore, but I believe some stores still stock it in H&M. I've found it goes with practically anything because of the light shade of blue, and is the perfect size to carry all of your handbag junk! Also, my dog seemed to enjoy jumping in on my pictures and wondering what on earth I was doing, so he may feature in a few shots!

PEACHY PASTELS OOTD

It's my Dad's birthday today and we all went out to Nandos, (which was so so good), and since the weather wasn't as awful as it could be, I decided to take some pictures of my outfit.

I'm seriously all about pastels and plaid at the moment so I absolutely love this outfit, plus, with me being me and eating EVERYTHING in sight when I go out to eat, a slouchy top is essential! 

I'm wearing my chunky cream River Island coat that I wear to death, as you can probably tell with how shabby it's looking now!

My top\jumper is from Primark, (which is currently my go to place for on-trend and low in price). It goes so well with this gorgeous thick plaid skirt from New Look that I bought the other day when I was 'just browsing'. I wasn't sure if I'd actually like it that much considering how thick the material is, (incase it looked 'bunchy'), but it's actually really lovely on, however I wouldn't tuck anything into it because that would be far too thick. 

Once again, i'm wearing my ASOS 'Fear' chunky sandals in black like in my last outfit post, (you can view a closer image here). 

The final piece is my new Cheap Monday pleather 'paper bag' clutch bag, which fits basically anything inside and has removable straps! Simple, yet perfect.
