Monochrome Maxi Dress

Dress - £20 Asos

Heels - Primark (Similar)

I feel like I haven't dressed up in ages, with to much to do and no time to go out other than to work. I literally wore my hair in a bun for more than a week because I didn't have time to comb it, I know you ladies do this too haha

I wore this gorgeous dress to my cousins birthday dinner yesterday. I love how figure hugging this dress is, yet still classy and sexy. I'm definitely going to get many wears out of it.

Hey Guys, I hope you have all had a good week. I went back to work on Monday after two weeks off, boy was it hard lol. Now I'm back to only taking pictures on the weekends unfortunately.

I haven't worn this shirt for a while so picked it out first and just worked my outfit around it. I picked out the necklace second and then my outfit turned into a white and yellow ensemble. Hope you like it!

White Shirt

Shirt - £14 H&M

Skirt - £8 H&M

Necklace - £10 Diamond Petal

Heels - Super old!

Bag - £12 Tesco

It has been a really relaxing Sunday for me, I went out to a wine bar last night, that always means the next day guaranteed I will be relaxing, I'm getting old!

I have been on the hunt for ages for the perfect white shirt, you would think that would be easy to find, but I found most shirts to be quite transparent and exposing my bra at work wouldn't go down to well!.

I love the material of this shirt, the added pockets also give the shirt a cool and casual look for a more dressed down outfit.

Leaves

Leaf Top - Persunmall

Trousers - £15 H&M

Clutch bag - £13 New Look

Heels - £45 River Island

I have leaves on my top and leaves on the ground, Autumn is here! The weather is actually ok, even though the sky is grey and we have occasional rain, its still warm (let me not jinx it!)

I love this statement leaf top, I thought continuing with the black and white theme would make it pop. I bought these trousers at the start of the year, was so upset when it wouldn't zip up, but happy now as it fits perfectly, meaning I lost a few pounds, yeah me!

Printed Trousers

Trousers - Boohoo

Crop top - £2 Primark

Necklace - £10 Diamond Petal

Heels - £45 River Island

Bracelet - £7 Diamond Petal

This is the outfit I'm wearing right now! I'm about to head of to a club, I hardly go out anymore, so when I do I look forward to dancing the night away.

This look is comfy compared to the usual glam dresses I normally wear. But I didn't want to make a big fuss tonight and decided to wear bold trousers and a bright necklace to make this comfy outfit more dressy.

Miss Uganda - Virgos Lounge

Skirt: £50 Virgos Lounge

Crop top - £15 Missguided

Heels - £19 Ebay

Earrings - £7 Diamond Petal

Clutch Bag - £3 Ebay

Saubas Outfit

Dress - £68 Virgos Lounge

Heels - Asos

Hey guys! So on Saturday I went to Miss Uganda for the first time. It was my second pageant show and I must say I do enjoy all the glitz and glamour of it. So of course you know I love Virgos Lounge and this event called for a VL type dress! I fell in love with this skirt the moment I saw it. I don't have anything like it in my wardrobe, and it is quite a mature look, but the crop top gave it a fresh young feel.

So I know you all get bored of my face lol ( Well I hope not!) but thought it would be nice to see another face on the blog. My gorgeous little sis also wore the most beautiful VL dress, the detailing is absolutely stunning.

Leather Skirt

Skirt - £19.99 Missguided

Top - $13 Persunmall

Bag - £6 H&M sale

Jewellery - Diamond Petal

Heels - £12 Primark

I'm halfway through my week off, its been amazing. I haven't done anything special at all and I think that's the beauty of it. We lead such busy life's that we sometimes forget to have some down time.

I'm in love with this leather skirt, I think the design is a bit different to your regular leather skirt. I wanted to keep this outfit monochrome, but you know me, I couldn't help but through in a bit of colour and print with the clutch.

Green and Grey

Heels - £40 Zara

Clutch - £6 Primark

Trousers - £11 Primark

Vest top - £4

Necklace & Bracelet - Diamond petal

This is the kind of outfit I gravitate towards to when there are a lot of meetings going on at work and I need to look more conservative aka covered up!lol But just because you need to keep it conservative, it doesn't mean you cant add prints and colour to keep it interesting.

I love the little leather detail on the vest top and I added this necklace to dress it up a bit. I cant believe this clutch bag is only £6, I would honestly expect to see it in somewhere like Dorothy Perkins or Oasis.
