Sista's Are Doin' It For Themselves

T-Shirt; ASOS

Since I'm going back to uni this week I thought it's time to start saving money and make some DIY clothing. This year I'm going to have to learn about being tight. I am planning on only opening my purse once every week and I'll give myself a strict budget to follow. I'm not taking my card when I go out because I tend to get drunk and think I have Simon Cowell's bank account. Hopefully I'll stick to it. If you see me on the side of the road with a sign and an Ian Beale style beard then you know I haven't. 

To create this look all I did was dip a plain black t-shirt in bleach for a couple of hours then you end up with this fire kind of effect. 

This t-shirt was actually supposed to be galaxy printed (I don't know what happened either) but somehow it ended up like this. But I actually quite like it and I've already had a few comments on it. I am in love with galaxy print t-shirts and unfortunately I missed out on one on eBay. If you're looking for one a seller called Veronica Fever does really good ones.

I also thought I’d share photos from my trip to Circo Loco this weekend. Definitely one of my summer highlights! 

This is my Kim. K 'Hi' face by the way. Aren't we like twins?!

Hair Crisis

I’m going back to uni in 2 weeks and need something to do with my hair. I’ve been brown for about 2 months now and it’s getting so BORING. I’m really missing my green and blue mermaid locks. I would like to dip dye my hair again but then I think is dip dying getting a bit boring now? Below are the kind of hair colours I'm looking for  - what do you think?

(MY FAVOURITE)

Pay Day Buys

Jeans; ASOS | Shoes; ASOS | Skirt; River Island via ASOS 

It was payday so that obviously meant I had to go out and make myself bankrupt again by buying new clothes. 

I’d been watching the items for a while (they’re mentioned in my Back to Basics post) but had to wait till the clock struck 00:00 before I could make my move. I then excitedly waited for them to arrive and then something truly amazing happened. I tried on the jeans and I had to go DOWN a size. I could have cried, I don’t think I’d ever been that happy. If I was a male Peacock my feathers would be out on full display. 

However, soon my happiness subsided as I realised that I’ve committed the biggest school boy error and spent all my money on trousers, jeans and skirts leaving me with have no money to buy tops. To top it off I had a mass wardrobe clear out and threw away loads of tops so it’s not as if I can even wear them till next month. So expect to see me in one t-shirt for the whole of September. 

I also bought a camouflage jacket, riding pants and loads of tacky gold jewelry which will be coming soon!

Rush Hour

Moccasins; TK MAXX | Dress; Primark | Jacket; Primark | Belt; River Island | Watch; Michael Kors | Headband; Topshop 

This is a quick post of an outfit I went out in when I was in a immense rush (hence the strange rushed pictures). Maxi dresses are just so easy to slip on when you’re busy and confused about the great British weather and this one is so old and cheap yet I still get compliments on it. Possibly one of my best buys.

P.S check out my items on eBay, I’m having a summer sale! (seller:jazmin.duribe)

Back to Basics

I know it’s pretty humid and everything right now but I’m already thinking of what I want in my winter wardrobe. I’m thinking about going back go basics as I lack most basic things, for example, a plain vest top. Why don’t I own one plain vest top? As the saying goes you can't have a strong house without a good foundation so these are my 10 basic picks to start off my wardrobe.

1. A black leather jacket - I’ve wanted one for absolutely ages but never seem to find the right one - do I want the traditional biker style, studded, fringed, real leather?

Fringed; Asos | Waterfall; River Island 

2. Jeans - Jeans are probably the hardest thing for me to buy and I must be the only girl who owns just one blue pair (which are really ill fitting). It’s such a struggle to find jeans that fit on my bum and thighs and I have recently come reasonably close to finding the perfect pair from ASOS. They have lots of stretch in them to accommodate my bum and they sit a little higher on the hips so you're belly doesn't spill all over the place. Thank God.

Both; Asos

3. A skater skirt - Possibly the most flattering shape skirt, I'm looking out for leather look ones in various colours. 

River Island

4. Checked shirt - Arguably they can be seen as dated but I really want one. I think they look great layered over t-shirts and dresses and a leather jacket. 

Topshop 

5. Cream/ black blouse - No explanation needed, simple and goes with everything. 

Both; Topshop

6. LBD - An obvious wardrobe staple which I don't have. I like this one because it reminds me of a  Victoria Beckham design and I think it'll look cute with flats in the day and heels at night. 

Romwe 

7. A black maxi skirt - This summer I've become quite fond of my collection of maxi skirts because they're so easy to throw on. Surprisingly, I haven't got a black one yet and the thigh split means I can wear it on a night out and not look nun-like.

River Island

8. Slouchy knit - I’m looking for one of those jumpers you can just chuck on anyday and it goes with everything. Last year I made the mistake of buying about 500 extremely thick, cream knits which made me look like a farmers wife. I will NOT be making that mistake this year.

Green; Nasty Gal | Black; Topshop | Red; Wildfox

9. Pointed nails - Not really an item of clothing but it completes the look.

10. Jeffery Campbell Litas - My beloved ASOS heeled boots are on their way out (RIP) so I need to find some new black boots which I can wear with everything, won't break and which will not make me walk like I have a tail.

I’m also obsessed with studs and western tips lately so will be stocking up on eBay and going crazy!

D.I.S.C.O

T-Shirt; Topshop | Disco Pants; American Apparel via eBay | Trainers; Converse @ Schuh

For a while now I’ve been trying to make a torturing decision about whether of not to buy disco pants, (Is it disco pants or discopants? ) the time has come and I’ve bitten the bullet and bought a pair.

I heard they were a bloggers staple and since I’m more of a leggings than a jeans girl it seemed like the perfect new addition to my wardrobe. Now I have seen many posts about whether or not disco pants are for the larger lady and I have to say I really am not sure. The other thing which worries me is a youtube video of a girl who is plus size wearing them and the abuse she got would be enough to make me want to jump off of the nearest motorway flyover. I didn’t even think she looked bad. All the people i’ve seen wearing them take a XS or S so it was refreshing to see a girl in an XL. 

They are supposed to suck you in, make your bum look high and your stomach flat and I have to say I was skeptical because I have a lot to suck in. At £70 for a pair I was not taking this decision lightly. (Luckily I got mine from eBay for £39.99 brand new) I have to say they definitely suck you in and although I nearly broke all of my fingers trying to get them on it was worth it.

P.S I have purposely cut my face out of the photos because I have the bubonic plague and look absolutely horrendous. 

P.P.S I know this outfit is boring and I have camel toe, I just wanted to showcase the disco pants.
