I am loving the style of..

If you don't know this beautiful face yet you need too youtube her : Carly Rae Jepsen. She's 26 year old singer/songwriter hot right now with the song : Call Me Maybe. She makes me want to dye my hair dark again. And grow it long! She has so cute relaxing bohemian style with is easy to recreate. 

In this picture below she is wearing a yellow dress paired with a red belt. I bought a yellow dress from ASOS Curve a couple of days ago and was in a little of bit chock when I recived it. It was SO yellow and I had no idea how to style it. I refuse to stay with in the safe zone and pair the dress with black accessories - black and yellow make me think of a bee. So I think I am going to pair it with a red belt, some nude shoes silver accessories and maybe a nude color cardigan depending on what the weather is like. We still have snow - I cant wait until we get better weather, at least dryer weather. I can't stand more water or snow.The yellow dress that I bought is unfortunately sold out but ASOS has at this time 4 other yellow dresses for sale.

yellow dress #1 from ASOS

yellow dress #2 from ASOS

yellow dress #3 from ASOS

yellow dress #4 from ASOS

red belt from Torrid

plus size cartoon tights

   

I bought these tights of a eBay seller named stockingtopsuk.  The seller has a lot of different, cute and wild tights in plus sizes from UK 8 to UK 32. The ones I bought are a size 28-32 and I recommend to size up. I have experienced before (more than once) that the cheaper leggings and tights run smaller in size. They were 8£ and overseas shipping was 1,69£. This is probably not that cheap everywhere in the world but where I live I pay about 17£ for a pair of plus size tight and they come in standard color ; black or brown. And I like funky print and colors - they make me happy! The only downside to these tights is that they have a low rise but they stretch a lot.

The shipping was actually great it took a little more than a week for the tights to arrive and that's fast shipping for what I am used to. When I order from ASOS it usually takes 2 to 3 weeks for my items to arrive.

Below are a couple of different tights in the plus size range.

That was all for this time and until next time - stay happy!

Polka...

 

Dress/Tunic - Secondhand - from South 

Black tights - from Evans

Black cardigan - from H&M+

White belt from Torrid (old stock)

Black boots from eBay

So I friend called me at almost midnight and asked if we should go out for a beer and I felt like dressing a little bit up. I bought this polka dot tunic at a secondhand store a couple of weeks ago and never got around to using it. 

My hair is finally growing and I can almost fit it all into a ponytail. I CAN'T wait until it get to a length where I can curl it and style it. I have been thinking about coloring it some crazy color. I am actually in love with the faded coloring hairstyle that's going on right now but I have to wait until after my boyfriends 30th birthday in July - we are having family photos taken with our families and I think I may regret having pink faded hair in the photos :)

See you around!

OOTD - jeans and plaid

Guess what, I am wear all blue again. Wore this outfit today when I went to help my mother clean out some old toys and junk we don't use anymore. The blue top is new, I got it from my boyfriend when he came back from a trip to Denmark. He bought it from H&M only 14 days ago so I guess they would be in stock still - I just can't find it online. 

The blue plaid shirt is from Evans - about 2 years old. I don't like the clothes selection from all that much more. They have been gone to much brownish, old style floral and a bit ill fitted for my like.

The jeans are old, I use them for work. I bought them from Zizzi almost 4 years ago. They were a bit expensive but since they have lasted me this long I think they were worth it. That was all for this time. 

I am off to eat - free range chicken, rice, gravey and chips. Sunday feast!

Denim Shorts - from South - Last summer item

Arabic Scarf from the 90's! So we call it vintage

The top is unfortunately sold out but they have them in a similar version but with longer sleeves and in the colors blue and grey. I have this top in black, coral and a light blue version and they are SO comfortable to wear and can be worn down or dressed up.

Link to the ASOS Curve dip back top.

I bought a pair of cute owl knee socks that I am going to pair with my light blue top. But this could  be worn with the gray top too. And the socks are on sale right now - score! I used to hate it when people wore socks with sandals or strappy shoes but I am starting too like the look more and more.

Until the next time - stay happy!

**UPDATE**
forgot to mention that the black tights are from Evans. They are pretty share but I like that, they have enough color to hide the little bruises I have left from the car accident. They were cheap too, 3 for something. Don't remember, I bought the for my office Christmas party in December - I just checked they are still available. 

So yeah this happen!

So yeah this happen 14 days ago. I was minding my own business and driving to work when a driver in a brand new Audi car didn't think she needed to slow down like the other cars in front of me and her and she slammed right into the back of my car with 80 km/hour and made my car a sandwich between the one in front of me and hers. I ended up in the hospital with out any major injurious - they were afraid I might have damaged my back or neck but it was only bruises, cuts and sore mussels. BUT I am back and fight for fight - I've returned to full time working and am looking forward too posting more OOTD's outfitts.

Hope everyone is super!

Easter is on the way and yeah for chocolate eggs. 

*I've already started on mine!* I know, bad me.
