The 80s Called...

Party season is officially here! TBH I'm excited even without a party to go to as I cannot wait to see this year out, is has been one of my absolute worst, and that's comparing it to alot of pretty deep stuff so you know when I say its been crap it really really has been! 

The fashion side of things has been far from a let down though, this season has seen a serious 80s revival, and as a proud 80s child I am lovin it! 

This Asos dress ticks all the boxes, one shoulder, puff sleeve, colourful and of course a touch of leopard print! Unfortunately the camera doesn't pick it up, but there is also silvery stitching around the print which gives it a lovely shiny festive look. 

I also haven't worn anything one shoulder in a longgg time, I used to love one shoulder tops though (I totally had one of the Tammy Girl tops with one shoulder and diamante writing "Babe" on it when I was around 14, you know you had one too!) so I am rediscovering my love for these here. It is much more comfy to wear than I thought it would be. 

If you are looking for a look-at-me party dress this year then I think going for one of these unique one shoulder beauties is well worth it and will be a stand out piece for your wardrobe, that and think of all the layering possibility's you could do with this..! 

If you don't feel confident rocking a huge puff sleeve, then why not try one of the more subtle options to give your take on the trend? Boohoo has some great ones in metallic shades, or if you want to go full blown 80s babe then hit up ASOS for shoulder pad and puff sleeve heaven.

Sorry again for lack of posting, I've been crazy busy with my new job. Working in a salon is super busy and pretty tiring. It's exciting though and fast paced which I love and I do get an extra day off a week as I'm now working a 4 day working week. I've been learning loads though and putting in loads of extra time over the last 2 weeks to learn everything before the busy Christmas Party season arrives! 

As I mentioned before, I also have to wear black there day to day so I've been looking around for outfits that liven it up abit and I came across this beauty of a bralet in River Island that is perfect for layering and adding abit a cool 80s glam to an otherwise dull outfit.

I thought I'd go matchy matchy so I also picked up this cute Boohoo skirt and added the pearl embellishment myself to save a couple of quid - Can you believe I picked these up from Poundland?! It came with loads of these stick on pearls in both white and rose gold for just a quid! Perfect for a budget outfit update!

Organza

I feel like something out of Blue Planet in this tee  (thinking more of a Jellyfish, not a Bobbit... *shudders) 

Off Shoulder Sporty Top with Organza Ruffle Sleeves // Asos Collection

Mom jeans // Stradivarius

Well aware this top will not be everyone's cup of tea as it is pretty out there! That's why it caught my eye though, I am a little bit of a collector when it comes to fashion, the crazier it is, the more exciting it is and more likely I'll buy it! I like to wear things that have alot of movement (if that makes any sense) I live swishy tutu skirts, maxis with a side split and pleated things.. not sure why but they always feel good to wear.

 This one seriously takes the frills trend up a notch with these HUGE organza frill sleeves!  There will be PLENTY more organza around for the upcoming festive period which looks to be a 80s fashion frenzy, I am really looking forward to it.

 I really like that this top is so mis-matched with its pink princess organza on a sporty looking V neck shirt.  Not sure if I'd wear with jeans again but will experiment with this more in the spring when the weathers back to being on the warmer side. Check out Asos Collection though when you can for more unique pieces like this!

Varsity

 Vintage Style Satin Baseball Jacket - Pull & Bear (Barcelona)

Runaway Grey T-Shirt - Bershka (Barcelona)

High Waist Mom Jeans in Light Vintage - Missguided

Metallic Silver Sneakers - New Look (now only £4!)

White Star Waist Belt - Primark 

I really, really love the whole american baseball varsity trend, the more vintage it looks, the better! So I was thrilled to come across this retro satin jacket in Pull & Bear in Barca, its just the comfiest thing ever :) perfect for layering over the top of t-shirts.

I wanted to go totally 80s/90s and opted for mom jeans as well, they are tricky to pull off though and I wsn't sure about them at first. I think they are def suited to taller peoples as they are ment to be ankle grazing and not rolled up 100000 times at the bottoms but I have decided to keep them as they fit nicely at the waist and have abit of a 80's tomboy relaxed look about them which for me is what denim is all about.

My other new loves are these metallic sneakers from New Look, I have kept missing out on these the last couple of years and then regretting not getting them when they sell out and waiting another year, but finally managed to snap these up in the New Look sale for an amazing £4! they are so shineyyyy :) I've posted a few links below to some really cool alternative ones to the New Look pair - Superdry ones are really nice!
