Ladies Day Style

After a fabulous day at Ladies Day at the Aintree Grand National last week, it was a lovely surprise the next morning to see myself and the girls on a double page spread in The Echo newspaper! Although I didn't come back rich, I did feel a million dollars. So, here's a breakdown of my outfit.

Jumpsuit: River Island, blazer: New Look, shoes: boohoo.com, bag: matalan.

Of course, no outfit is finished without a gorgeous manicure and a glass of champagne!

Pastels & Boyfriend Jeans

Working at River Island definitely has it's bonuses when you're surrounded by so many gorgeous clothes, shoes, accessories.. Not so good on my bank balance though, I must admit! My latest outfit consists of this lovely pastel pink top, slim boyfriend fit jeans and worn with either a pair of black boots and cute little socks, or a pair of summery flats, just like my favourite pastel loafers from RI. The cross between girly and boyish styles is great for me as I don't like to look overly feminine with pink/frilly things! Everything here is bought from River Island and is all current season (although the boots are no longer in stock).

Rags to Riches

Generally speaking, with being a student comes a natural love for a good bargain, and I definitely fall into this stereotype. Whilst I do like to splash out and treat myself, if I can pick up a really nice item from the infamous Primark, then happy days! Here's a look from the other day when my boyfriend and I went for an amazing meal at Reds in Leeds (a really authentic style American barbecue restaurant that easily gets into my top 5 favourite places to eat, ever! Highly recommended). This pale pink cami in a subtle glittery fabric was one of my Primark bargains as well the statement jewelled necklace, both of which I love and can be worn with so many things, in so many ways. I wore this with my leather look pants from Topshop and my faux fur coat which I dug out from my wardrobe, previously bought from New Look. And it's definitely making a return in these Baltic weather conditions! Last but not least, I wore my gorgeous Michael Kors watch that always seems to finish off any outfit and guarantees just a bit more class.
