My Go To Look

Hello lovely readers!

I have made some pretty big promises to myself about not being ashamed of showing my face on this blog. So, today I’m not holding back and am not just including a selfie, oh no, I’m including a selfie taken with my Sony A330 DSLR camera. Yes, that means a hella lot of crispy crisp detail of my face. What can I say? You’re welcome.

But before you go on to look at the work of art that is my face (just joking, it’s definitely more like a masterpiece), there is a point to today’s post. I know that I love looking at other people’s go to looks on their blogs, because I’m naturally all for an awesome outfit combo, so I thought that I would do a similar post for you all to judge me on (again, I’m joking. Please don’t judge me.)

After making such a huge hype, I should probably start with my face and hair. I can’t say I did a lot with my hair here as taming the long, frizzy mess that it often is can be tricky, especially after I’ve exhausted myself washing and drying it for a supremely long time. Honestly, that old excuse of ‘I’m washing my hair all night’ is kind of a reality for me. Makeup-wise, I applied my normal skin products and eyebrow pencil. I used the Maybelline Colour Drama Lip Pencil in ‘Berry Much’ on my lips and for my eyes, I used golden, warm eyeshadow tones (as they go with everything #makeuphacks). I then added Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner in black and Maybelline Lash Sensational Luscious Mascara.

Excuse the pose- I’m not entirely sure what was happening with my arm or hand. Let’s not kid ourselves, I was most probably just trying to look insanely cool.

Now, onto the outfit: one of my favourite jumper and skirt combinations ever! Seriously, I struggle with my confidence but never have I felt so fashionable and confident as in this outfit. I really love to mix lots of different styles with my clothes- here, the embroidered sweatshirt with its bishop sleeves adds a touch of relaxed femininity whilst the tight fitting, leather-look skirt is bold but sophisticated.

It seems that the jumper sold out in the January New Look sale this year and while I got the skirt a long time ago in another New Look sale (it’s suddenly become clear how obvious my love for bargains has become), the same skirt in different colours can be found here.
