Didn't you wear that last weekend?

I have a confession. This week I came very close to committing the worst fashion blogger crime ever. I almost rewore an outfit. In fact, I'm kind of ashamed I didn't.

                Birthday suit                                                     Alternate outfit - and  awkward fist

Okay, here's my defence before you condemn me. Two Saturdays ago, I went for a night out with my friends. I'd spent all day planning the perfect outfit - a white lace crop and a lime green metallic skater skirt, complete with lace socks and wedges. Without tooting my own horn, it looked amazing. (Toot).

The night started off great, but it kind of dwindled into one of those 'non-nights' as soon as we left the first club. The second was only half open (apparently the downstairs toilet had flooded - ew) and it was absolutely dead apart from a handful overly overenthusiastic dancers who I'm sure were under-age.  Needless to say, we left pretty quickly. The third and final club was busier, but stuffed full of sausage ... where were all the women!? We called our taxi an hour earlier than planned. 

The company was awesome, but the vibe was kind of off that night. Seriously, what happened to Saturday nights? I couldn't help but feel I'd wasted a seriously cute outfit on a evening that hadn't gone quite to plan. Two weeks later, my birthday rolled around. Now, I have a vast collection of clothes so I wasn't short of options, but I just couldn't get that ensemble out of my head. It was the ideal birthday look. I was certainly in a pickle.

I bowed to the pressure and picked out a new outfit. I was happy with it, but I wondered why I felt I'd had to find something new to wear. I can't really place the reason why I didn't want to crack out my super outfit again - was it because there was pictorial evidence of me wearing it a fortnight before? Did I think people were going to assume they were my only garments? I actually have no idea. But something told me I couldn't wear it again until at least a months time. 

There is such a taboo around the re-wearing of an outfit, especially amongst bloggers. I've read so many  girls and guys posts where they feel they have to apologise for wearing the same item of clothing more than once. Isn't the point of being fashion bloggers creating different outfits out of what we have? And if, like me, you carefully picked out a look that you were really proud of, why should it be sentenced to never be worn again? 

I asked others what they thought and the responses were pretty one-sided. However one blogger, @LA_Kes, wisely tweeted; 'I'd say don't worry about it and do what your heart says on the day. You're too young for fashion wrinkles!' Well said. 

Do you feel weird re-wearing outfits? And what's your reasoning behind it?

 Later guys .. ♣

Happy Birthday to me! ♥

I am no longer a teenager! Yep, on the ninth of May little old me got less little and a bit older. How do I feel you ask? Not much different to be honest, I don't feel any more of an adult anyway. Which is just as well as we spent our Friday night acting anything but grown-up!

I really don't wear this skirt enough, in fact I kind of forget I had it. I unearthed it in a mad rush as I was getting ready and teamed it with this zebra crop. I love these boots; the heels aren't too high so I'm able to dance all night minus the drunken humiliation of wandering round the club barefoot, heels in hand. I had a brilliant night out, totally made me forget that I'm on the slippery slope of aging. Twenty years old, halfway to forty and still can get away with child fare on the bus!

Here's what my sister Rose rocked for the evening. How cute are the net socks! She borrowed my Sack Sale jacket as a cover-up and I think it looks great with the deep purple dress. She looks amazing, don't you think?

First night out of 2013 - Laura's 20th!

Sorry for the grainy pics, they were taken on my friend's iPod just before we went out so we were in quite a rush. Here I am in the lushest Premier Inn room I've ever stopped in. Okay I don't have a wide experience of bed and breakfasts, but trust, Lenny Henry wasn't lying to us.

Anyways, what on earth am I talking 'bout? Enough about the room. More about the night.

Blurry, sorry

It was a great night - we started off in Brindley Place, drinking wine and mixers in bars and headed up the Broad Street, ready to party. I finally got to Gatecrasher - and it lived up to my expectations. All in all, we had a smashing time and I slept like a baby that night. Unfortunately, the hangover kicked in about two o'clock the next afternoon. I felt like death. So weird, as I didn't feel that drunk at all on the night. Don't you hate how that happens.

Here's all of us having a gay ol' time

Happy Birthday Laura!

I would go out tonight, but I haven't got a stitch to wear..

Sophie, Laura, Me, Alex

Buffday girl and her man ;)

Briiiiiight light

Posin' hell.

As I haven't been able to do a post for a while, thought I'd treat you guys to some pics of my friend Vikki's birthday outing ;D We got the coach to Couture and it was an awesome night. I know the pictures aren't very clear, but it's an outfit post of sorts :3 I thought my friend Laura looked amazingly different in a long sheer skirt, what do you lovelies think? (:

Not obvious, but I wore my 'I'm laddered' tights, which, incidentally, are now totally laddered. And ripped. Boo. Oh, and also showcasing my new red lipstick, I had one before, but it's all squished and empty, so I was in dire need of a new one. 

What do you think of our outfits and have you guys been out recently: :) 

Til death do we party, with the music I die

Okay, these pics are from ermmm... last month I think, but I thought I'd put 'em up anyways as I haven't posted for nearly a week D: 

Blame uni, and work... and boyfriends and friends ;) By boyfriends, I mean boyfriend.. or do I ... ;D Nah I do. Muahaha.

Just a clubbin' outfit - Alex and I went for bralets (hey, the 'let' makes a big difference, okay ;') ) and black leggings - it's funny how we are almost wearing the exact same outfit :'] I added this statement necklace my sister bought me for Leeds once, and if I remember rightly, I went with black suede heels with gold metal circles :)

There's Jordan peeking round the corner ;P She looked equally as cool but unfortunately I don't have a picture of her look, I believe she went totally different with a body-con skirt 

For those who are interested, Alex's top is from Republic (but I'm not sure where she got mine as it was a present) and her pearl gold necklace is from Forever 21 :) For more, check her blog

My bald patch is so bald in these photos :'] My hair is finally getting sorted on Saturday, hopefully it should be pretty different ... watch this space ;)
