Hello Petals :)
Just thought I would stop in and say hi mid week!
Feels strange to be posting in the middle of the week, it feels like forever since I have posted on any other day than a Friday. (That's because it probably has been!)
I have thought of a new idea just to give you something new to look at on my blog.
I am going to do a week posting work outfits. I have had several people recently ask me where my work wardrobe items are from, or what accessories I would put with something. So I thought why not do a post or several covering the things which I have worn on a typical week at work :) That way I can show you what things look like and I can tell you where they are from :)
Hopefully this will be something people are interested in! Judging by the amount of times I have been asked since the beginning of this year where something is from, or had a compliment on a colour or outfit... I am guessing that this is something people will want to see.
Now to kick us off there are a few things which (if you didn't already) you need to know about me.
#1 - I am a Gemini (and a typical one at that) I am a HUGE lover of contrasts, especially black and white. Or if we are going to get down with the fashion lingo... monochrome styling ;) so you will be seeing lots of this no doubt.
#2 - I am obsessed with spotty things. I'm not kidding (my mum will vouch for me on this!) If it's spotty dotty I am drawn to it. Like a moth to a flame.
#3 - I love colour! I spent quite a few years through my teens as a goth! (I know hard to picture now right?!) These years of lacking colour in my life seem to have come back full pelt now, and I am one for BRIGHT colours, whether this is clothes, accessories or lipstick!
# 4 - I like to wear things which are a little out of my comfort zone, you know me I don't like to do things by halves! If I see something on someone and think I like it, then I will try it. (Given the right occasion and budget.. obviously not just going to rock on down the high street on a Monday morning in an evening gown) But I really do mean it. If I see it on a celebrity, on TV, in a film or just someone else in the high street, and I think oooo I like it, then I will try it.
#5 - I am always open to new ideas, but I'm picky about the trends I follow / recreate. Some fashions come out and I just think oh no that's not for me. (Remember the sunglasses last year or the year before which got started because of Kanye West, which had all those slats down them rather than lenses?!) If something comes out and it floats your boat then by all means go out there and rock it :) I would always encourage everyone to just wear what they want to wear and what they feel good in. But not everything which comes out and catches on is everyone's cup of tea. It's ok to have an opinion :)
Now you are (what I would consider pretty much) fully briefed on the key aspects to my styling personality, I feel the wider world can see my clothes!
Huge build up... I feel like I should now post just one silly picture to start with just so the build up was for something worth it. (Maybe I should post a fancy dress picture first... Willy Wonka? After all that purple suit is his work outfit, would technically still fit into the theme I'm going for!)
As always if you have any suggestions of things which you want to see / hear about then let me know, whether that is on here in the comments, on YouTube, or on social media :) I am blogging, YouTubing and chatting to a camera and a computer screen to share things with you and hopefully teach you something new (especially YouTube) so if you have a request just say!
As always keep smiling :)
And stay tuned for the work outfit posts!!
xoxo E
