Take one unwearable shirt...


So when I brought this shirt home from the Sack Sale, Jack was less than impressed with it. He actually laughed his head off hysterically and asked, 'when are you ever going to wear that?'

Here's the wonderful garment itself...

Some love for the pig's bum coat hook?
I honestly didn't think it was that awful; in fact, I rather liked it. But perhaps it is a little 'out there' for the general majority. This is why I've decided to prove him wrong and have come up with three great outfits with the 'unwearable shirt'. Take that ;D 

Outfit One
Jumper - my sister's, skirt - H&M, Boots - Primark, Headscarf - not sure, Watch - Jeremy Scott for Swatch
I've got my Ace Ventura hair going on.The thing that actually attracted me about the shirt was the interesting material, it's so bright and shiny. The main qualm I have with it is that it's a little on the large side, so I've tucked it into this skirt to mask that.

Outfit two


Tee - H&M, Jeans - Primark, Skull bracelet - Charity shop, Watch - Jeremy Scott for Swatch, bracelet- Pandora

Check out the lil socks - so chic, right? :') A more casual look now, and the oversized look of the shirt works great this time. Of course, I did tie it at the ends as it is actually ma-hoo-sive, but I think that looks okay. It makes for a nice cover-up and and extra layer in this freezing cold. I'm notoriously awful at dressing for the winter weather, so I was pretty thankful for the additional warmth.

Outfit Three

Jacket - Sack Sale, Leggings - River Island, Trainers - Pastry, Bracelet - Pandora

'What choo lookin' at?'
Me looking just a bit insane
.
I look an absolute berk on this picture. I know it's hard to believe, but it actually was the best of a bad bunch :') It's the only one where the outfit is completely visible. Bad lighting, you see. 
 Despite the fact the photo is a bit loco, this is my favourite look. I'm rocking the dogtooth trend this season, plus these leggings are quite thick so keep me reasonably warm, which is a bonus.
I got two denim jackets from the sack sale, and I've been wearing them so much recently. I'd been on the lookout for one for so long and two came at once, how perfect :3

So what do you think of my unwearable shirt? Did I convince you guys that it's beautiful or do you still think it's completely hideous? ☺

A Gem from the Sack Sale..

Outfit of the day for you guys! I really wanted to show you this one, as I'm wearing one of my laaavley gems from the Sack Sale. Yep, it's this beautiful vintage shirt - how great is it? I really love the gothic-inspired collar. How much do you reckon you'd pay for a top like this in somewhere like River Island? My guess is a lot.




Haven't got much to say to be honest, apologies for being so boring. But ohmigosh, I nearly forgot - I have awesome Kpop news! Big Bang are coming to Wembley Stadium - that's right, in LONDON! Dreams really do come true .. ♪♥

So I'll leave it at that for today, laters lovelies ☺ 
♣

Skirt - H&M
Shoes - Red
Jacket - Peacocks
Shirt - Vintage, sack sale
Bicycle necklace - Claires
Headscarf - from Cyprus 
Tights - probably old school tight tbh

The Sack Sale Shop


All my thrifty guys and girls LISTEN UP! 




If you live in the Birmingham area there is one shop you really must check out - The Sack Sale Shop. Situated in New Street, it's a huge vintage/thrift store where you pay five pounds for a bag and fill it up with whatever you can fit in it. No catch, it's as simple as that!










The downstairs is really cute; decorated with a little birdcage, collage and graffiti style wall art. Straight away, I felt like I'd stumbled into some sort of  magical realm. So pretty! There's a few bits and bobs to be had down here; a selection of clothes and hats mainly. but the real bulk of the treasure is just up the stairs.

 Upstairs, it is kinda like a organised mess. In fact, it is the definition of such. See for yourself...

Alex rummaging through the gems


All the piles are organised into categories  like Knits, Bottoms and Shirts. If you don't mind a bit of rummaging, and I'm assuming we all don't, it's clothes heaven. Where else can you get a sackful of goodies for a mere fiver? I also love the art on the walls, so creative. I'm pretty sure they actually advertise the local artists, so it's really worth checking out for that alone.

Awesome art and piles of stuff. Bliss ;D



My sack was so heavy I felt like Father Christmas. I can't wait to show all the lovely things I've picked up. So guys, if you near good ol' Brum, I really think you should check out.  I'm pretty sure it's only on until the 23rd of December, not sure if it's going for good or coming back, but either way, I'd get there fast.

I don't have a good picture of my sack. Oh dear, that came out wrong, but you get me. But you'll be seeing my purchases soon ☺

Have a splendid weekend Bubalas ..♣
