there was a day we used to laugh, and i wanted you by my side.

Blouse - Nan's
Bandeau Top - Ebay
Skirt - H&M
Brogues - Next
Bag - Next
Belt - Vintage





Hello Bloggers :)

This outfit was partly inspired by Nicole. She came to mine the other night, wearing a fitted red skirt, with an open blouse and a black bandeau top. She looked awesome. Me and her are pretty addicted to these bandeau tops at the moment... They are so easy to wear and are only 2.99 from hong kong on ebay, with free delivery! Although I think they are actually sports bras or something. Nevermind haha.


I have been living in this skirt recently, so I decided to wear my white bandeau top with it, along with my nan's polka dot blouse, worn open. My nan recently passed away, and I felt honoured to take some of her clothes. I will wear them so they wont be wasted. I always loved what she was wearing. Rest in peace nan :) xxx

I also couldn't resist adding my new shoes and bag, which you will probably see all the time now!


I've been realising more and more lately how some of the things I wear are very 80s. I never noticed before for some reason. I also bought the cutest pink hat today, for 2.99 from the charity shop. It is SO Andie (pretty in pink) and I cannot wait to wear it!

Anyway I hope you like this casual look. Thanks for all the lovely comments/new followers/old followers! I am almost at 200 now! <3

  8. My deepest condolences, may she rest in peace.
    The polka dots blouse is beautiful, I can tell that your grandmother had great sense of style.
    You are so brave for wearing this sports bra outside, I bet you stop traffic in this outfit.

  9. Hi! You look awesome! I love the skirt, it looks good with the bandeau! I'm not sure if I'll wear a bandeau top outside, but that would only be because of the place I live in and the critical eyes of people. But it looks gorgeous, no matter if they're sports bras or something like that! And it's so nice to wear clothes that belonged to important to us people. The shirt is adorable :)
    You know, I've always adired this 80s feeling of your style! It's just so...perfect! Your outfits are so greatly put together, even if at first sight the pieces don't match! But you make them look stunning together! I actually wish I had the guts to rock pieces like that! :) You're a constant inspiration :)
    Nicole should make a blog. You should persuade her!
