The Perfect Jumper Dress.




Necklace - New Look
Jumper Dress - Primark
Boots - Topshop (Last year)

It has taken me ages to find the perfect jumper dress for the winter; long enough so that my legs are relatively warm without having to wear tights but not too thick where I can't wear my favourite coat in fear of looking and feeling like the Michelin Man (search it and you'll understand).

Whilst on my most recent shopping trip, I found this beauty calling out my name in Primark. Yes Primark! To me it looks like something you would find in All Saints but without the enormous price tag. At £12, There was no way I was leaving the shop without it! What a BARGAIN!

Everything about this dress is perfect, the length, the colour, the material and the price!

Casual Sunday





Coat (Last years sale) - Topshop (Similar styles HERE.)
Shirt - Matalan
Jeans (Last years) - Topshop
Bag - TK Maxx
Shoes - Zara

I made a huge mistake today in wearing these beautiful white patent flats from Zara today, not because they cut my feet up for once! But because my poor little tootsies were freezing! 

However, I've been obsessed with wearing these shoes ever since they stopped giving me blisters! Girls, you know what I'm talking about! The majority of the shoes I own, I had to go through that barrier where they just really hurt your feet :( 

For these shoes, those days are long gone now, Thank God! I just love them so much, they are so comfortable and versatile. The patent white material really reminds me of the 60's , so they are a great way to incorporate the 60's styles into your everyday wardrobe, especially as the perfect transitional shoe from Summer to Autumn/Winter.

Looking back at my outfit choice of today, I look very patriotic, you know following the colours of the United Kingdom's flag, this wasn't intentional until I looked in the mirror at my shirt and jean combo and decided a black coat just wouldn't complete the look.

Black boots - Topshop

The months from October all the way through to March seem to drag by, once Christmas and New Year are over, what's really there to look forward too? The harsh winds that pierce your face, No. What about the rain that freezes your body through and through? I dont think so...

You're probably wondering why on earth i'm blabbering on about my dislike for winter (ignore the week of Christmas and New Year, because who doesn't love sitting in front of the TV surrounded by your favourite people and chocolates). There is method in my madness.

You see The only thing that really gets me through the winter season is the light at the end of the tunnel, quite literally, the sun.

When watching the rain constantly pour down, I tend to long for the days of picnics, shorts and ice creams. The first sign of spring/summer for me usually is when the daisies start to make an appearance and make the once dull grass seems full of colour.

And on to my jumper... Even though it was a miserable day outside, I couldn't let this jumper go. It gives off a summer vibe, even though its only black and cream, it's somewhat cute and girly (which isn't really my style, but who can resist the print?!) Even though I paired it with a black dress, black tights and a black chunky coat, it would look really nice in the Spring (when its still a bit chilly!) with a pair of denim shorts or a bright coloured midi skirt. 

What would you pair this jumper up with?

OOTD - ft my Pompom.



*Apologies in advance for a heavy New Look/Topshop post!*









Felt fedora Hat - Charity shop - £3.49
Quilted Coat - New Look - £39.99 ( I think? It was a 2012 Christmas present.) 
Black long sleeved top - New Look - £4.99
Florescent pink Aztec trousers - Topshop - £28.00 - Similar ones here.  (And in the sale!)
Fringed cross the body bag - TK Maxx - £20.00 
Black canvas lace up Boots - Topshop - £35.00 

 Even though summer is officially over for another year (boohoo!) that definitely hasn't stopped me from wearing my bright pink Topshop trousers. I mean, every dull day needs a bit of colour, right? Saying that, I don't just think it was the day needed brightening up, it was more so for me too. 

 As Autumn/Winter makes an appearance, my wardrobe tends to be, let's say; on the more darker side. So these gorgeous trousers really added that pop of colour to my outfit. Even in the Summer, you could team these trousers with a white crop top or a loose fitting t-shirt for the Springtime.

 Months had gone by where I found myself lusting after, and being drawn to, the fedora in Topshop. However, I couldn't really justify spending twenty five pounds on a hat, so when I saw this through the window of a charity shop whilst at work, I knew I had to have it! 

 And have it, I shall! After my shift I practically ran over there so that no one else could have it and bought it for an amazing £3.49! Also I received advice from the lady who served me about how to keep felt hats clean without risking the loss of shape. (Stuff the hat tightly with newspaper, and then hover it over a boiling kettle.) Learn something new every day, ey?

Onto another one of my favourite bargains; my fringed bag! Obviously, you can never go wrong with a black handbag (such a staple piece to any outfit!) After watching, and obsessing over, 'Girlfriends' on ITV2, I noticed that one of the girls had a black fringed bag, and immediately it was on my wishlist for the Autumn/Winter.

You know when you want something and you don't even know how to start about getting it, that's how I felt about this bag; I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a bag yet wanting a fairly decent one. 

Luckily, my mum and I took a trip to TK Maxx (one of our favourite stores, especially for homeware!) and found this ideal fringed bag for only £20.00 bargain! It's only faux leather, but definitely feels and looks like the real mccoy.

Let me know what you think?

Have you found any bargains that you're currently in love with?

P.S - I forgot to add, in one of these photos my wonderful little Pomeranian made an appearance, always has to be part of everything and anything. She'll probably be in a lot more photos as she refuses to leave me alone. If you follow me on Instagram (@daisygraceox), you'll know that the majority of my photos are of her.

P.P.S - It's been a long time since my last blog post, for reasons I don't know (time just flies by!) But, I will be posting more often, so be prepared to see more of me, my outfits, my bargains (that I get far too excited about) and my little doggie :)
