I’m back and I’m better

I bought this outfit a while ago from the men’s section at JD Sports but unfortunately they no longer do it so here is a discounted black alternative to the hoodie and another discounted navy alternative to the bottoms. For once I bought a complete outfit that didn’t include the colour black (I believe that deserves a round of applause) 🙂

Having previously bought from the men’s section, I know to stick with the smaller sizes as they fit a lot better. I really like the hoodie as it’s very warm and has a soft feel to it. With that being said, I also like the way the bottoms is tapered at the ankles; it makes it feel more fitting.

I wore this outfit to a kick about with some friends (aka football). My intentions weren’t to actually play as I was wearing light colours and didn’t want to get them dirty but that’s never the case.

My trainers were bought in white which went really well with the outfit but note to self, never wear white trainers out if you aren’t prepared to get them dirty L

Bucket hats were very fashionable a while ago and I’ve seen them slowly creep back in so I took the opportunity to add this to my outfit which I think looks nice together with everything and completes the whole look.

You know my love for chokers, need I say more? 😉

I didn’t have any perfume on but the body spray I was using is called ‘Victoria’s secret passion struck fragrance mist’.

Outfit Summary

Khaki Feels

written by victoria

Guess who’s back with another post? Yup, that’s me!

It was a casual day for me and I felt like just rocking a top with jeans and trainers (as you do). I bought this outfit because I love the colour khaki, quite frankly I love all shades of khaki and to be honest I think it has something to do with the fact that I previously wanted to join the army. An added bonus was the fact that it was a crop top, I didn’t go out looking for a crop top but it found me and I just had to buy it especially leading into the warmer months. I pared this with a pair of black jeans as black goes with everything (you know this by now) 🙂

With this outfit, I bought myself a cap (again in khaki) to go with my top and the good thing about this is that it’s adjustable so I guess you can say it’s a ‘one size fits all’, also on the plus side, it’s unisex. I love my chokers (you should know this by now also) so it was a must that I added this to my outfit.

To complete my outfit, I pared it all with my black Nike trainers which felt very comfortable to wear and also a plain black jacket (from the men’s section) as you can never be too careful; you always have to be prepared for what the weather has to offer especially in Britain.

It was a casual day for me so I wore this outfit to run a few errands, catch up with friends and plan my week ahead so nothing too fancy 😉

The perfume I wore with this outfit was the ‘Princess’ by Vera Wang and it does what it says on the tin which is to make you feel like a princess haha.

Navy

written by victoria

What’s up guys? It’s your girl Victoria back with yet again another post 😉

It was a very nice day to go to the park so I decided to rock a tracksuit. This is actually from the men’s section believe it or not; it was only right to get a matching pair. I chose to buy the outfit in navy because at the time I wanted something dark but I didn’t want black as I have too many items in black.

The jumper feels very cosy and warm which was why I wore it on this particular day; I mean after all we are in England and although it was a nice day, we can still get four seasons in a day so I came prepared.

I was actually worried about shopping from the men’s department as usually their clothing come quite large but I was able to find something which fits pretty well and put my own spin on it; say hello to jumper crop top haha ;). I really liked the way the bottoms feel also and having it tapered at the ankles just made it something that I thought ‘yes, this is defo for me’.

I had to get a bucket hat and go all out with this outfit which I got in navy to match my tracksuit. This just puts that tom boy-ish look on things which I liked because I was able to rock it better than most men if I do say so myself J.

With this outfit, I wore a standard black Nike trainers as you would know by now from reading my previous posts, “black fits with everything”. I couldn’t find the exact one so I left you with a gorgeous light blue/ turquoise trainers which in fact will also go very well with this outfit.

Big Bro’s B’day

written by victoria

Guess who’s back?

It was my older brother’s birthday not too long ago and my mind was absolutely blank as to what I could wear to his surprise meal so I thought why not whip out that little cute dress that has not yet seen the light of day so that’s exactly what I did.

When in doubt, whip out that little nice dress, I promise you it always saves the day. So yeah, that’s why I chose this outfit as I was just so clueless in what I wanted to wear plus it was warm so white and yellow seemed appropriate. I couldn’t find the exact one so I have left you two amazing alternatives which will look brilliant also; one of them is from pink boutique and the other from rosegal.

I pared the dress with some lovely yellow gold heels as the colour matches with the dress. The heels were sparkly and quite frankly I felt like a princess ;). Again, I couldn’t find the exact ones but I have left you with a rose gold alternative from asos which I think is absolutely brilliant; as you know rose gold items are in lately and they’re gorgeous.

Nothing beats your good old fashioned plain black clutch bag, it was only right as black went with everything; this one is from new look so make sure you check it out. Lastly, the last piece to this cute puzzle was my choker; chokers have been in for a little while now and in my opinion, brings the look together. I love chokers that much that if I don’t wear it my neck feels naked haha J

I wore this outfit to my older brother’s surprise birthday meal, if you ask me he’s getting too old J. On that note, please check out his website at www.soscreativity.co.uk ;).

The perfume I used on the evening was the Euphoria by Calvin Klein which is just peng.

TGIF when it’s not Friday

written by victoria

Hey lovely people, welcome back to my page 😉

Thank God it’s Friday when it’s Tuesday. We all wish everyday could be Friday but then again that depends on what your Fridays are like. It was my friend’s birthday and we were to go to this restaurant called ‘TGIFridays’ and the idea of it is that whenever you go in there you feel like it’s a Friday which means feet up and get comfortable.

As always I never know what to wear until the day then I’m stumped for ideas. Luckily it was warm on this lovely Tuesday evening so I was able to whip out my shirt styled playsuit which I think is absolutely cute. The idea of getting comfortable at this restaurant resonated hence the choice of my outfit; this lovely khaki alternative is from boohoo.

My outfit was colourful enough so everything else I paired with the outfit was black as this is a neutral colour. My clutch was black and nothing beats that as every girl needs a purse. My heels were plain and simple but very effective. Lastly I wore my fishnet tights and as you know these are becoming very fashionable at the moment and they go very well with a lot of things.

I felt very relaxed in my outfit; the material for my playsuit was silk/ satin which on the skin feels absolutely lovely. Overall, it was a great night and I ate quite a bit but the plus side to things was that nothing could be seen through the outfit especially in the middle section region haha.

The perfume I wore on the night was Lady Million by Paco Rabanne; absolutely gorgeous.

Down By The River Side

written by victoria

What’s up guys? It’s your girl Victoria back with yet again another post 😉

How do you manage to be bold without wearing any bright colours? The answer is black and white. Good old fashioned black and white strikes again! I absolutely love the top I’m wearing within this outfit as it has lace all over and the way they’ve designed it with the see through arms just adds that sexy look to it.

Anything with lace on, count me in; just love the damn things.

I chose this outfit because my friend had an upcoming wedding shoot at the location in which these pictures were taken and he said wear something “nice” so I thought well if it’s for a wedding then white is a must and black goes with everything so it’s a win win situation 😉

It was just a very calm casual day to walk around the reservoir and to enjoy the beautiful sight that Birmingham had to offer. On the other hand, this outfit can be very versatile and worn to any occasion such as a party, meal or even dancing ;).

I love the jacket because it was large enough to wrap around myself but it also had pockets. I don’t know about you but when it comes to long jackets/ coats which are very flowy, I love to be able to put my hands somewhere and not just on my waist so I think this was an added bonus to the outfit.

This outfit was very comfortable and the materials were soft which to me meant I could cover myself up with the jacket and fall asleep anywhere I put my head down to rest. As for perfume, I was wearing the Beyoncé heat which is one of my absolute favs.

You Just Gotta Do It

written by victoria

What’s up guys? It’s your girl Victoria back with yet again another post ;).

This outfit was inspired by Kevin Durant; love the way he plays and absolutely love his shoes. As you may/ may not be aware but I love love love playing basketball but it’s very rare I get the chance to these days so any opportunity I do get (especially if the weather is nice), I go all out and be the baddest MF on the court.

Don’t underestimate average sized people aka short players’ coz we’re closer to the ground so “theoretically” we’re rapid and can run circles around you.

I was going for the all Nike branded look and after picking my brand, I decided to pick my colours. I went with black and grey because it’s varied and if (when) I get dirty on the court; it doesn’t look too bad as they’re dark colours.

The top can be versatile; not only could it be worn to play basketball but can also be worn for athletics or just going to the gym. The shorts are so comfortable and they’re actually from the men section to tell the truth 😉

As you may have gathered, I wore this outfit to play basketball and I absolutely killed it on court if I do say so myself. The weather was actually nice (for once) on this day so defo was working up a sweat and had a great session.

Black-ed Out

written by victoria

Yo yo yo, what’s up? It’s your girl Victoria back at it again with another post ;). I chose this outfit because it’s plain 😀 (THE END). I mean come on; can you really go wrong with black? On a serious note though, ever had one of those days where you don’t feel like making too much effort so you decide to go simple and the simple then ends up banging anyway?

Well, I was having one of those days and I just thought to myself black goes with everything so why the hell not?

The top was very comfy and had that edgy look with the cut out shoulders which I love love love as I was able to pair it with any bottoms but chose black of course ;). The weather wasn’t actually that bad so I was able to soak up whatever vitamin D the sun was producing on that day due to my colour choice. Don’t knock it till you try it! My trainers were very comfy and felt better than they look; that was my whole aim for the day to be honest as it was a chilled out day for me.

What Perfume 🤔 ?

I wasn’t doing much throughout the day as I was working from home hence why I needed to be comfy. With this outfit, the perfume I paired it with was Paco Rabanne Olympea Eau De Parfum which smelt absolutely amazing.

Denim On Denim

written by victoria

Hey guys, it’s your girl Victoria back at it again with another post 😉 . I actually chose this outfit because my friend, whom I “stole” the jacket from thought I couldn’t “rock” it better than he did so I accepted the challenge and did just that. I was going for a casual look so I decided to pair it with denim skinny jeans and a plain white top.

The outfit was very comfortable which helped with what I was doing throughout the day as I was just driving about and running errands. This outfit is very versatile and can be worn throughout the year especially with the oversized jacket to keep you warm. As you may already know, I live in England and this weather is very unpredictable; we’re in April and we were predicted snow! Really though? Snow in April? What a nice way to kick off spring :’(

The outfit is simple yet was able to use it to make a statement (you know that rough, edgy clean look). Yes, I’m aware that’s an oxymoron :D. I actually felt very comfortable especially with the jacket, I was walking around as if to say it was mine. It was so comfy to the extent that when hugging anyone throughout the day, I literally wrapped them up with the jacket.

What Perfume 🤔 ?

The perfume I paired with this outfit was Kim Kardashian Gold as it had that sweet but bold smell. I don’t know how a smell could smell bold but you know what, it is what it is ;).

Business is Key

written by victoria

People buy outfits for different reasons. The reason I chose to buy this outfit was because it was plain. To be honest, I thought to myself you can’t really go wrong with plain because you can choose to dress it up or down as you please. I decided to dress it down and go for that “boring professional look” which wasn’t so boring after all as I spiced it up with my hand bag and heels and that’s all I needed.

I actually felt like I was about to go and give a key note speech wearing this outfit. Do you know that ‘confidence’ feeling you get when you wear an outfit? Well, this was one of those days. I literally felt like I was the CEO of some multimillion pound company about to fly in for a meeting. In addition, the attire occupied me with confidence, self-belief and assurance which helped during my interview.

I wore this outfit to a job interview; I guess I was getting one step closer to that multimillion pound company. I thought to myself you can never go wrong with formal attire and I even got complimented which felt nice. This is the part where you ask me if I got the job or not? Well, you’ll have to stay tuned to statement pieces to find that out.

Most Importantly, What Perfume 🤔 ?

I sprayed confidence all over myself and what better way to achieve that if not by wearing Si by Giorgio Armani. It has this sweet smell that has the power to make heads turn when walking past.
