New Years Day Outfit

Hey guys, I know that this is a few days late... but better late than never, I thought I would do a mini outfit review of what I wore on New Years day, with some of the bargains I brought in the Boxing day sales. I am a girl that doesn't wear or even own a pair of jeans, so my day to day look is typically skirts and dresses, with leggings and tights,  a perfect example in the picture below. I am wearing (which you cant see unfortunately) on the bottom thick black tights from primark for £2.50 which keep me nice and warm. The skirt is a flimsy black skater skirt from Topshop's tall section, and flares above my knees, for a nice length, its a sort of elastic cotton material, making it super comfy. My mint green jumper is one of my best bargains from the sales and this is also from Topshop for just £7!!! this is a knitted comfy green colour, that is slightly over sized, and comes to around the waist, so its not a normal size jumper, and I love how long the sleeves are, creates length in the arms making them look slimmer. My necklace is again, Topshop, and this was £4.50, it is a mock gold plated collar necklace that goes brilliant with any outfit, and has a ridged fan effect giving it an extra edge.



What did you guys wear New Years day? And would this be something you would wear? Or did you just happen to pick up some bargains in the sale too?


Memory jar of 2014

Recently, I have seen a lot of people on Instagram, upload pictures of decorated jars with the title 'Good moments of 2014' written on them, which seem to be quite a hit with a lot of people. The idea of this special jar, is to fill it throughout the year with little things that make you happy and good things you have achieved or just general moments that make you laugh. At the end of the year; on December 31st, you empty the jar, in preparation to make a new jar full of new things for the upcoming year. It gives you a chance to reminisce over the events through the year that have meant something to you, making you realise the year probably wasn't as bad as you thought. So I decided to do one myself, I brought a jar from a local 'bits n bobs' shop (£1.29), but I know you can pretty much get them anywhere, and decorated it with Cath Kidston floral wrapping paper (John Lewis £2), covering all sides, bottom and the lid in a cute print. I made a small label with 'Good moments in 2014' on which I stuck to the front. I hope that by the end of the year the jar will be pretty full, and I will have a lot to look back on, and even if I am sad from time to time, I can take a few out of the jar to cheer myself up.

Here are a two of my favorites I have found on Google, to give you a little decorating inspiration. 


 

Happy Memory Making.
