Spring OOTD... 90's inspired








I'm starting to get quite a collection of cropped vests, they're so comfortable and I literally want to wear them every day. Luckily the sun is finally shining and I can live in vests and even ditch the tights and show off my pale, sun deprived legs.

Apologies for yet another monochrome outfit, I really do wish I gravitated towards colour more! I'm just so predictable.

I'm so excited about these platform shoes. Every time I went in to Urban Outfitters I was picking up the Vagabond platforms and swooning over them until I looked at the label and realised they are real leather (not cool). I found these dupes for £20 and they make me feel like I'm in high school in the 90'sand who doesn't want that.

I've decided I'm going to start growing my hair out now, shaving my head has been one of the most amazing, eye opening experiences for me and I'm so glad that I trusted my instincts! My plan is to have a short blunt bob with a short fringe (like this or this) and it will be my natural hair colour! So that will be crazy since I haven't seen my natural hair in almost eight years! I honestly don't even know what the colour will be or if it will be straight or wavy, so I'm excited to find out!

Sorry for not writing a blog post in a while, I've been rather uninspired and lazy! I have a few ideas for rambly posts and they are my favourite to write so hopefully I can get my act together. As always I have some controversial topics playing on my mind and so I'm eager to sit down and aggressively type and share all of my moody opinions.

Dark denim and pins










I've followed so many Instagram accounts selling amazing pins lately! I love seeing all of the pics from fashion week of people covering their jackets and bags in cute, colourful badges and pins. I would love to buy some new ones from the amazing illustrators I've followed, but sadly I'm on a mission to save money!

During my recent spring clean and clear out I found a lanyard that I had bought in Disneyland and filled with pins over the years. I decided to pick off my favorites and put them on my Missguided denim jacket and I love how it turned out!

Also I'm sure you have noticed that I had a haircut, I was fed up of trying to tame the permanent bed head so another buzz cut it is!
Having short hair is amazing, I highly reccomend it!

Leopard print and faux shearling OOTD

After spending a huge amount of money on Christmas gifts, the plan was to start the New year by saving all of my pennies! That plan soon failed when I popped to town and caught sight of all the amazing sales (oops). Luckily the reduced prices means it wasn't too naughty.

I fell in love with this Topshop dress a few weeks back but couldn't justify the price, so I felt it was meant to be when I found it for only £20! (It's only £15 now on the website if you're interested). I love the high neck and the metallic finish.
After shaving my head it wasn't long before I realised I had to buy a scarf to keep my neck warm! When I picked up this faux shearling stole from New Look I didn't really think it was something I'd wear, but when I tried the scarf on I fell in love with it.
It's so toasty warm and it looks amazing with all of my coats.

I cut off my hair!





I've been having a bit of an identity crisis over the last few months, not knowing what clothes I should wear and feeling uninspired to do my hair and make up.

One of my favourite YouTuber's All Dolled Up uploaded a video explaining why she shaved her head, with all of her pro's and con's and I was obsessed! I ended up spending the next few hours watching video's of women shaving their hair and talking about their experiences. I knew pretty much straight away that I was going to do it, but for some reason I was worried about what my family would think.


-

On Christmas day I asked my family what they thought about me cutting my hair off and after they realised it wasn't a joke everyone was supportive and interested.
My mum was especially keen since she's been suggesting I get a Mohawk since I was 16!






I don't know what it was exactly that made me be so drawn to the idea of completely shaving my head.
I always trust my instincts completely and I knew that because the idea was so prominent and I couldn't get it out of my mind, I had to do it.

-

After a week of obsessively finding photo's of women with buzzcut's I was ready to go the barber's. When I showed the barber the picture I had for inspiration of Agyness Deyn she was in shock, she was worried I'd cry or hate it but I had no doubt's whatsoever.
Because my roots were only small she had to shave it quite short to get all of the blonde out and I ended up at a number two.
Seeing my natural hair colour after bleaching it for the last 4 years was the craziest thing, but I immediately loved my new buzzcut!






 It's been four days since I had it cut and I couldn't be happier. I honestly don't know if I will keep it shaven or grow it out slightly in to a pixie cut but at the minute I'm loving having it super short and I'm feeling more beautiful than I ever have hiding behind long hair.


-

I'm going to write a longer post soon talking about my pro's and con's and also how peoples reactions have been, so check back soon if you're interested!
Thank you for reading! Would you ever shave your hair off?
