Trend Tuesday- Lingerie Inspiration

Underwear as outerwear is becoming really common and I have to say I love it! It adds a bit of sexiness to any outfit and makes the wearer look pretty fashionable which is never a bad thing ;). It's quite reminiscent of early Madonna but depending on your take can also give a vintage or Wang feel to a look. My main love for this is bralets/ brassieres but lace and those tights with suspenders on are also ah-maazing. Obviously Gaga kickstarted this trend with her OTT outfits but they have grown up quite a lot since then.

Susie Lau does the whole suspenders look very well here, but tbh that is a bit obvious considering how well she works every other trend. I also lovelovelove Frida's new nude bralet from H&M and am extremely jealous of all the ways she can think of to wear it.

My favourite pieces from this trend are mainly bralets with a couple of other pieces thrown in for good measure:
Topshop

Wishlist Wednesday- UO

My favourite shop of all time. If only I had more money...

I need a big scarf for these horrible winter-spring transition periods

I honestly think the zip MAKES this dress, without it, it it'd be too girly floaty etc

Everyone needs a satchel especially when it's as gorgeous as this one

ditto watch

I can't really be bothered with sunglasses anymore (probably as it still feels wintry) and these are going to be perfect for inbetween no glasses and sunglasses to get me in the mood. Plus glasses like these can make an outfit fun.

The easiest skirt in the world to wear, it'll go with anything you want

midi length :) waaay flattering and a touch of miumiu

two-tone brogues what could possibly be wrong with these?

Peasant blouse, actually a whole lot more flattering on (this is one I've been into the changing rooms for many-a time. And this would be great on the beach over a bikini.

Yeah so as you can see I'm (once again) getting a vintage vibe....luckily for you guys tomorrow is Thrifty Thursday so you can see another of my recent finds and then it'll hopefully all make sense. That's the problem with buying clothes, you see one piece and it's all "bargain" but then you get home and you have NOTHING that goes with it, so one cheap piece ends up costing you a whole lot more..

Trend Tuesday- Utilitarian

I adooorrree this trend at the moment, trenches, parkas, khaki, neutrals, jumpsuits, who could resist?! The looseness of this trend makes it easy to wear with skinnies, leggings, dresses or skirts to dress down an outfit. An even better thing is that most of the pieces are classics or can be reworked and they get better with age so if you spend quite a bit on a timeless piece now it actually WILL last you for yeaaars (I know this is a fashion cliche but for this trend I truly believe it)

Okay so the ten pieces I choose for this trend are..
Jeans- Miss Selfridge

Trench- UO

Playsuit- Topshop

Shorts- Topshop

Worker's boots- Topshop

Jacket- UO

Jacket number 2- UO

Shorts number 2- UO

Jacket number 3- UO

Playsuit number 2- UO

yeah I know there are variations on the same thing and only a few shops but I couldn't choose which to put up and I love these shops soo much it's insane.
