Gosh, isn't January depressing! The excitement of Christmas is over, the realisation of how much Christmas has cost hits you, the weather is either beyond cold, or raining, or both!
So the only thing that would cheer me up a little was adding a splash of colour to my outfits. Simple things please simple minds and all that jazz!
Yesterday I wore:
Grey tshirt, H&M £4, Purple 3/4 sleeve top, MK One, £5, Cropped cardigan, Primark £10, Skinny jeans, Primark £8, Grey legwarmers, Primark £2, Vintage boots, Thrifted.
Outfit total - £29
When I saw this cardigan it was one of those 'I must have it' moments. It also seemed to then find its way into the back of my wardrobe, finally, a year later it makes its first outing!
Today I decided to continue with my cheery clothing and grabbed my favourite dress (well favourite for the moment anyway!)
I wore
Yellow shift dress, H&M £10, Long sleeved black top with sleeve details underneath, Primark £3, Boyfriend cardigan, Primark £10, Black tights, Primark £2, Riding boots, New Look £35, Necklace, gift(I think its from Accessorize) Belt, Primark £3
Outfit total - £63
I really the cute little button detailing on this Primark cotton top, plus the bargain price makes it even better!
This necklace was a gift for my 21st birthday, love the vintage feel about it, plus anything picked out by friends is always extra special.
What cheers you up at this gloomy time of year?
Definitely, definitely bright and beautiful clothes! Nothing cheers me up more than a vivid pair of tights or bold scarf.
ReplyDeleteI love both your outfits - that necklace is so pretty.
Love the colour of that dress on you, fabulous with the necklace.
ReplyDeleteWhat cheers me up at this gloomy time of year? Lots of exercises, rose wine and a flight to Goa, please!
