OOTD - Fair Isle Bargain!!

For some reason my GFC isn't showing up for some people at the right hand side, if you want to follow me (and I'd love you to!) then please click on the 'follow blog' button at the very top of the page, or you can also follow via BlogLovin' using the link on the left. Sorry and thanks!! ^_^

A little OOTD for you today, featuring my lovely little bargain skirt from Primark! It was the only one left, and it said it was a tenner but scanned up at £3. Perfect.

I've liked the whole Fair Isle trend over Winter but because I tend to wear what suits me rather than just follow the fashion, I was worried about investing in something and then looking 'so last season' because I'd probably wear it year round. Ha. So this little bargain skirt was perfect for me to dip my toe in!

I used my Gorillapod to take these photos, my first real attempt with it!
Here's the photo of it incase you missed it in my post a while back:

It worked a treat! I really recommend it if you're looking for a wee helping hand for your photos. =p

The top is from New Look last year, and the tights are from Primark. I'm going through a 'ribbons in my hair' stage just now; just ignore it haha!

And my face:

No idea what the pink thing is under my chin!

Eyes: Naked Palette, Collection 2000 Extreme 24 Hour felt tip eyeliner, UD Supercurl mascara
Face: Nars Orgasm, JK Light as Air foundation
Lips: Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Colour in Coral Reef.

What do you think? Will you still be wearing your winter clothes in Spring?? Or wouldn't you be seen dead in 'last season's' efforts? =p

Let me know!

OOTD - Would you rock white tights??

Hellooo. Yesterday me and two of my best friends felt like a catch up (even though we see each other at least once a week!) and decided to go for lunch and drinks. Now, baring in mind me and one of my friends, let's call her Ben - because that is actually what we call her - are unemployed, we wanted to to be a reasonaly cheap day/evening. We settled on November Cafe in Glasgow for lunch and a couple of cocktails to start.

November is a really pretty, chic place to have a drink, it's in a more upmarket area of Glasgow and I really like having a few cocktails there. BUT we were on a budget so after a two course lunch and a couple of French martinis...

... it was off to Wetherspoons lol.

We don't really frequent Wetherspoons that often but I'd seen an advertisement of cocktail pitchers for a fiver. A fiver?! SOLD. But when we got there, it was suddenly two for £14..? Hmm. So we got four pitchers and whiled away a few hours chatting! Lovely.

So what did I wear? Well, it was cold and wintery, so I decided to play on that and dusted off my white tights. Now I know they're not everyone's cup of tea; they're not overly flattering, they really stand out and they can make you look about six, but I love them!

Wearing:

Forever 21 dress I got in New York

Red belt from Primark

White tights from Primark

Boots from Primark

Sorry the pictures, again, are poor quality. For some reason I thought it would be a fantastic idea to wait until I got home to take the photos, and it probably wasn't my best plan ever. So they're a bit blurry as  I  the camera was struggling to focus, and the lighting is all wack because it was nighttime so I had to put on my spotlight on my ceiling which cause crazy shadows.

But! Anyways. What do you think about white tights? Have you worn them before? If not, is it a look you'd try? Let me know!
