Football Fashion

Ok, it's true... I am a secret football fan. I can't say I actually properly understand football, obviously I know there's two goals and the aim is to score! but like I don't get the whole offside rule rubbish and I'm not up together with players names or understand any of that bloke football talk gibberish, however I do enjoy going to the grounds and watching a match. I love it when the crowd chants and gets the atmosphere going, I really can't help but join in with the chanting, even though I don't know half the words, giving myself 10 points for trying though.

 

I definitely made a typical 'girly' error with the chanting, I could hear all the blokes chanting something quite angry sounding and the name 'Milo' so being confused, I asked Josh why they were all angry at 'Milo' his reply being "Lino Louisa, they're angry at the linesman." (insert crying laughing face here) opppps. 

 

Right, let's get down to the fashion business. Ok, I am so into flares right now, being 'Mr long legs' (Josh's little boy 's nick name for me) flares actually fit me in the leg, such a good feeling. These patterned flares from H&M really are so flattering on and I love that they are high wasted. I have teamed with a burgundy jumper that you can't really see & of course my fave jacket at the mo. I'd like to apologise for my constant hat wearing at the moment, but this weather really doesn't do my hair any favours and with my track record of losing umbrella's well it's all round easier to just plonk on a hat.

 

Top marks to Josh for the pictures, I thought I was more into quite plain light backgrounds but I'm actually loving the busy/ scenic backgrounds lately and he really seems to have an eye for this photography stuff.

I really had to share this one with you, I was posing and my hat flew off my head! 

 

 

What I've been up to...

Woohoo it's the weekend...boohoo to the weather though, See I don't mind the cold it's just the hair ruining rain, seriously how is my hair meant to look even half acceptable in this?! I am currently writing this post from the comfort of Josh's bed whilst he has gone to the gym, leaving me all snug, a cup of tea on the bedside cabinet and a 'Dairy box' next to me, now that is what I call breakfast in bed.

 

So here's a bit of what I've been up to over on Instagram, which I'm becoming obsessed with, I could literally spend hours getting lost on Instagram, lusting over outfit posts, new in trends, décor inspo...all sorts really.

 
I really do try not to use filters on my photos, I much prefer to just take pics in good lighting, I'll only brighten the picture up if you can't see detailing or the lighting hasn't caught what I'm trying to take a picture of properly.

So in the top left hand corner is my new hair do, the extensions are out and I'm going cold turkey... for as long as poss, it's hard and I have to keep telling myself 'natural is better natural is better' and I really want to take good care of my own hair.

Quote I love!

My sweetie dish on top of my adult colouring book

I am so in love with this unicorn money box from New Look, not that I'd use it as a money box (I'm awful at saving) I'm so gutted I didn't buy it, but I seriously don't have anywhere to put it, I've got so many candles and pretty things, I'm trying to work out where I could put more shelves and as soon as they are up this unicorn will have a saved space for sure.



Anyways, I'm off to Fratton park, to 'have a beer and do some crowd chanting' haha and then for a TGI's catch up with the girly's tonight...yumyum.

Have a lovely weekend...

Pink to make the boys wink...

Asos, take a bow, give yourselves a huge pat on the back and crack open the champers! ... I never believed in love at first sight until I saw these worldies! (If you're reading this Josh I love you second ok, and it's your fault for buying me them.) Pink velvet heeled ankle boots... they are just sooooo bloody dreamy, I literally love them so much that I have made a space for them on my shelf in my bedroom with all my decorative and pretty bits, geeeek. My Dad actually poked his head in my room and laughed at me for having them on my shelf, I recon he's just jel that his feet are too big to fit in them.

 

There's no doubt about it that these boots stand out for themselves, I love the way they shine in the light too. I decided to keep the rest of the outfit pretty simple but with a tiny bit of added pink on the top half. I actually have a playsuit on here from H&M which I have tucked into these bargain £7 trousers from F&F, let's all go to Tesco la la la la ooooo.

 

As it's not cold enough yet to wear a big jacket I teamed with my plain black sleeveless jacket from New Look and decided with throw in the floppy hat, mainly just to cover up my bad hair day though, thank god for hats.

Hope everyone's Monday hasn't been too much of a struggle!

Fishnet Fridayzzzz

Here she is...3 cheers for Friday...rey hey hey! It's the weekend and for all you Monday to Friday office babes like myself there's only a few hours to go until (I finish early today YAY) 2 whole (not enough really) days of freedom. I swear my brain just lets off a load of party poppers inside my head 'cause I get all excited as soon as my alarm goes off. I'm completely aware I sound like a right sad act getting excited over the weekend, but for me the weekends can't come quick enough, usually just so I can drink wine to be honest, as alcohol on a 'school night' will get me a spot in my own bad book, I like to be fresh for work.

 

Tonight I am behaving and not raving with the girls as I really need to take it easy after being so poorly recently, so bae is cooking me a steak dinner and I'm putting on my most comfy PJ's and having an early night...heaven.

 

 Although I love to clash patterns, prints and bright colours I do also love the plain and simple all black 'errrrything' look, plus the fact I felt my new red bag really should be star of the show. The fishnet crop I have on under my playsuit is often pushed to the back of my wardrobe with the last time I wore it being on a girls holiday to Magaluf in 2014, but I think it works so well with this outfit combo as it's not warm enough to go bare with the playsuit but not cold enough for a chunky jumper.

 

Amen to these River island knee highs they are just an absolute god send. They work so well with everything, day or night, dress down or glam up, £75 very well spent.

Hope you enjoyed today's post and have a lovely weekend!

 

Lots of Love

Khaki Co-ord

Sorry sorry sorry, I have been rubbish with posts this past week. Been ever so busy and very over tired. I'm trying to get my body clock back to normal after quite a bit of time off work ill. So yes.. apologies for the slacking, I've given myself a slapped wrist.

 

Anyway.. enough of that babble...what a bloody wonderful Co-ord I have found in Dorothy Perkins. I don't usually visit DP's as it's right at the back of the shopping centre and tucked away, but I passed it and popped in. I'm absolutely loving that it's a jacket and skirt Co-ord as it's getting a bit nippy outside so can't really go wearing the usual crop and skirt sets...and the colour... well it's bang on trend this season(and one of my fave colours), absolute winnneeerrrrr, I am very pleased.

 

I have teamed with a plain black New Look polo neck, black tights (brrrrr) and my wonderful Zara lacey heels. I thought the red lippy was needed to glam things up as My Dad and Sister both told me I look like I'm in the military.. to be honest I'd probably wear red lippy with my uniform if I was in the military anyway.

 

 

 

 

Golden Oldies

 

I am a hoarder. Feel like I should be sat in a circle in a group counselling session with a name badge on and 'Hoarding addict' underneath. I just can't bring myself to get rid of clothes or shoes, I'm haunted by this time I chucked a beautiful pair of boots out that were 'out of season' and then they came back in a few months later...devo! so from then on I promised to never chuck anything out, unless unwearable of course.

 

The oldest of the bunch is this little red number from River Island which is actually about 15 years old, my Dad's lovely girlfriend passed it on to me after one of her wardrobe clear outs along with a load of vintage Topshop...Heaven! I really love the back of it which is why I had to wear my hair up to really show it off.

 

Ripped jeans are obviously a must have in anyone's wardrobe, they literally go with everything and I felt they really update this outfit.

 

My fave is this cute little flowery bomber from H&M and it's been a wardrobe resident for a good 6 years I recon, I love how you can dress it up or down.

Mixing it up

Ok, so I'm not complaining about the sunshine we've had today but is the weather going to make it's mind up some point soon?! does it not realise the stress it causes me when getting ready in the morning, don't know whether to wrap up or go easy on the layers and I get changed at least 3 times before leaving the house.

 

Who says you can't wear summer pieces/prints in the colder months?! I actually bought this Boohoo Jumpsuit back in summer and unfortunately never got a chance to wear it, I wasn't going to let it just sit in my wardrobe with a tag on until next summer so I thought I'd team it with a little sleeveless black top from Topshop and some chunky Primark boots to give it more of an autumn/wintery feel. I've also already decided when it gets really chilly I'm going to put a black polo neck underneath and add a chunky scarf and jacket, the summery pattern and colours of the jumpsuit will really add to my winter wardrobe and work well with all the black I'll wear with it.

Black top - Topshop / Jumpsuit - Boohoo / belt - H&M / Boots - Primark / bag - H&M / silver hoops - Primark / Sunglasses - Ebay.

Hope you enjoyed today's post and maybe given you some ideas about re -wearing summer bits with added layers.

 

would love to hear your ideas.

Sister Sister

No no, this isn't me this is my beautiful little sister Lucy. A lot of people actually think we are twins, especially on holiday in our bikini's as we have exactly the same sort of body shape, long legs and not much in the boob department lol. There's actually 3 years and 1 week between us. Lucy is fashion mad like me and is constantly texting pictures of stuff she's buying in town or pictures of her OOTD for the big sister approval. So handy that we are both the same size, this means what's hers is mine and vice versa and if a parcel arrives and she happens to be at home whilst I'm at work, I'll get her to try the outfit on and send me pics... if it fits Lucy it fits me!

 

Lucy is wearing the bargain Primark denim skirt featured in one of my recent posts, she's teamed it with a plain cropped sleeve black top from Topshop and this beautiful light weight beige jacket from Boohoo. The tassel Primark bag she has gone for really adds to the outfit and is a good match with the top, tights, belt and shoes. The shoes are so on trend right now and were bought from Missguided.

 

I thought I'd feature Lucy today just to mix things up a bit! hope you enjoyed.
