Stone Florals

(Dress: Prodigy Red*/ Loafers: Topshop/ Necklace: Topshop/ Jumper: Primark)

I'd just like to start by stating the obvious in that I haven't blogged for nearly a month! I've desperately wanted to, but I've had exams the last few weeks and any free time I've had has been spent on revision. Now with them done, I can focus more on what I want to be doing, and that's blogging! I've had so many ideas for posts and I'm so glad I can finally get to it!
I was kindly sent this dress from fashion company, Prodigy Red. I'd never heard of the fashion line before and this dress really stood out to me as it's definitely got my style printed all over it. I was dubious as to whether this dress would even fit me, and I'm so glad that it actually fits me so well! I had to use my own belt though as the one that came with the dress was too big for me, however, they are pretty much the same anyway! I love the black floral prints which are actually have a velvety texture to them which I really like as it contrasts with the chiffon material that the rest of the dress has. As per usual, I paired this dress with a pair of loafers, this pair is from Topshop about a year ago now. I've recently tried to start wearing these more as I feel that they don't get as much love from me like some of my other brogues/loafers do and I do really like them. I was also really pleasantly surprised with how good the quality of the material of the dress is for such a cheap price at only, £15.99! If you haven't had a look at the Prodigy Red website, be sure to take a little snoop.

Asymmetric

So basically this whole outfit turned out to pretty much be Urban Outfitters haha. I absolutely love this skirt, I got it at Christmas but have only just worn it as it's not exactly the warmest piece of clothing I have! It's also such a lovely flattering shape for anyone to wear, the material is really stretchy and clings perfectly without being uncomfortable or unflattering. It's so so unbelievably comfortable to wear that I just know that when summer comes I'll be wearing this non-stop. I love the style of the skirt so much as it's different from anything I've really seen at the moment with the asymmetric design so that one side shows off some leg and the other doesn't which I think is a subtle, sexy touch.
I teamed this skirt with my glittery crop top also from Urban Outfitters (both the skirt and crop top are from the, Sparkle and Fade brand). I love this crop because it's so easy to wear in that I can put it with anything and it's great for nights out.
My beloved Jeffrey Campbell Foxy Spike's also got pulled from the top of my wardrobe that night, and I have to say, these shoes really did kill my toes that night. I don't know what it is, but these give me the worst blisters whereas my other Burgundy Jeffrey Campbell's don't. I guess it's just a case of breaking them in over time!

Pencil

I've been meaning to get this post up for a week now, but life has pretty much taken over. I started a part-time internship on my days off from University and any time I do have off now is dedicated to revision as I have three exams coming up. Yay, not. 
I wanted to include this Asos pencil skirt in an outfit post as I bought it around January but haven't worn it until now as it was quite big around my waist so had to get it altered. Is it just me that finds Asos sizing really weird?! Plus the skirt is sooo long, if I didn't roll it up at the waistband I'm pretty sure I could wear this as a bandeau dress and I'm not even that short! 
Anyway! I paired this skirt with my burgundy satchel to match. I've realised that a lot of this outfit is from Primark (unintentionally). I really like wearing a graphic t-shirt with such a plain outfit as it brings the other pieces out more and I always love a good layered look. It was actually such a nice day when I wore this outfit so I didn't feel cold at all just wearing this t-shirt underneath my denim jacket which makes a change.

Acid

Denim Jacket and Cambridge Satchel Outfit IMG_1148 Turquoise Ring Turquoise Ring and Cambridge Satchel
(Denim Jacket: Primark/Top: Forever 21/Bag: Cambridge Satchel/Ring: Primark/Jeans: Primark/Shoes: Navy Converse)

This outfit is just a super casual outfit pairing I wore the other day. I think this acid-wash denim jacket is fast becoming my new favourite staple for Spring. I couldn't believe it when I saw it in Primark for a bargainous price of, £16! I've been looking about for a slightly oversized one for ages now but most were around the £30 to £40 mark, and this Primark alternative was perfect for me as I wanted one that had a distressed vintage look. I also really love the look of it with this Forever 21 polka-dot tee and my satchel to keep with the neutral, cool tones of the outfit.  The Cambridge Satchel will definitely be coming with me wherever I go during the summer as I can pretty much put it with anything and it will look good. Another new Primark buy is this Turquoise stone ring which I love as I find it really difficult to find rings that fit my tiny fingers but this fits nicely!
(P.s. Yes I do know my zip on my jeans is undone - typical haha). 

Loving the fact that it is also getting a lot lighter now so outfit pictures are a lot easier to take!
