Acid Wash Jeans

Acid wash jeans - £20
Tartan scarf - £12 both boohoo.com

With spring on its way I invested in a pair of acid wash jeans. I was never really a fan of acid wash jeans but my sister bought a pair before Christmas and I fell in love with the 80’s style wash. They just have this style of being really laid back and casual. After doing some online browsing I purchased my own pair.


This gorgeous pair are from boohoo.com and cost me around £20. They fit really well and don’t go baggy which is surprising considering how much they cost. The wash is really light and grainy which is perfect for the spring and summer weather and will go really well with the pastel and monochrome trends this season.

My Wardrobe and most loved.

Last week I invested in a new wardrobe, the old one was falling apart and was way too small for all my clothes. I’m a pretty tidy and organised person so I couldn’t wait to have a sort out and finally have a decent amount of wardrobe space. Through organising my clothes I managed to find a lot of things that I forgot I had and I got rid of a few items too, most of which my sisters nabbed and what was left is going to charity.



I thought I would give you a little look at my wardrobe and show you a few of my most loved items. I am a massive fan of plaid at the moment; I think it looks really wintery and cosy. I bought this plaid shirt from new look a few months ago. Its really soft and is just about long enough to wear with leggings on days where I want to be comfortable, I also wear this shirt with blue wash denim or black skinny jeans, black boots or converses.



I purchased this short sleeve blouse from warehouse last summer for my graduation outfit. I love the patterned jacquard yoke and zip detail at the front of the blouse. I wear this with black jeans or tucked in to a skirt for a less causal look.



Last year I bought this playsuit from Miss Selfridge. The cinched in waist and frill edging at the front give me a curvy figure. If you have even worn a playsuit you will know they are really inconvenient to undo especially when you’re desperate for the loo so I really love that this one has a zip at the front. I usually wear this on nights out with wedges and it can be worn in both summer and winter.



Everyone needs a go to pair of denim jeans. These skinny ‘Baxter’ denim jeans from Topshop fit perfectly. I’ve had them for a few years now and they seem to get better with more wear. I find it really annoying when I buy a pair of jeans that fit perfectly but then stretch after a little wear, but these don’t do that at all. I only wish that I had bought a couple more pairs in different washes as I struggle to find decent pairs of jeans.  



Last year zatchels had their second birthday and to celebrate they had a 50% sale on their satchels. I love pastel colours so when I saw this pastel blue one I couldn’t resist a bargain. I got this one in 15 inches as at the time of purchase I was studying at Uni, so I needed space for my sketchbooks. I really can’t wait for summer so I can use it again.



Like most girls I own a lot of shoes so choosing my favourite pair of shoes was a bit difficult. I managed to narrow it down to two pairs of shoes, a pair of black peep toe wedges and a one of my latest purchases, a pair of boots, which I wrote about in one of my earlier blog posts. The wedges are from New Look; they are so comfy and really easy to walk in. The boots are from Miss Selfridge, I really needed a pair of smart heeled boots for both casual and smart wear and these are perfect for just that.



I hope you enjoyed having a look inside my wardrobe.
