Evening my little sweetie bums. This is a bit of a quirky post, if that’s the right word for it. I am showing you an outfit but I’m not all glammed up with make up or anything. This is kind of a normal cosy day for me. When i’m poorly, this is the best way to spend my day, wearing something fun and getting crafty.

Mint green jumper – Karma Clothing*

Pastel stripe skit – Charity shop and modified

Grey tights – Ebay

White blouse – Shoppalu

White loather pumps – Primark

Collar clips – Jewellery by Jaymie

I brought this stripey skirt for £2.99 in one of my local charity shops, and it was past the knee (midi sort of style). So I decided to chop off the length and add this really cute daisy looking tape around the bottom, I had it among my crafty box of fabric and been saving it for something, this skirt was perfect! So after I finished the skirt I pretty much put it on straight away (yesterday) and decided I wanted to wear it again today. I was in a sugary mood this morning so I matched the mint colour stripe with this jumper from Karma clothing! A white blouse and daisy collar clips from Jaymie, (jewellery by Jaymie) were the perfect combination to not ‘over do’ it. although I do feel like a bit of an ice cream. I went for my new grey tights as the other day I randomly thought ‘I need some new tights that aren’t just plain old black ones’. So I brought these grey and some blue ones (that ended up being a lot brighter than expected)! It’s nice to wear something subtly different, as I find it just brings an outfit more life, especially when feeling a bit under the weather. And to finalize, I have been pottering around in these white loather style pumps for about 3 weeks, can’t stop wearing them!!

As I briefly mentioned at the start I get crafttttyyy when i’m feeling a bit down. I have always been someone who uses craft and making as an outlet in life, and this week it was put towards my Etsy store. Yesterday I spent all my waking hours making these cat plush toys, and they aren’t finished yet but I am so excited about them I thought you wouldn’t mind me sharing them with you. They are due to get little outfits made tomorrow when my best friend comes over to hang out. We are going to sew them together, should be fun! So look out for these on my Etsy store.
