So I know we are well into January and some of you may be wondering where is she off to posting her 2018 plans, New Year New Me is soooo 3 weeks ago. Well as I like to say better late than never. I had completely lost my blogging mojo for quite a bit due to personal reasons and all the negativity surrounding the Irish blogging community but I'm done with letting that hold me back and here I am with my first outfit type blog post in quite a bit, my plans for 2018.
Ok so I have a new obsession.. please don't tell me I'm alone in the fact that I obsess over certain items of clothing?
My new obsession is flared pants, after seeing these pants on Amy Spencer - The Little Magpie, I just had to have them! They looked so so flattering on her and she had said they're super lengthening on the legs so that was them sold to me. So here's a few reasons why these pants may just be the best ever..
1. They make me look taller
2. They make my bum look pretty good
3. They feel like pyjamas so are crazy comfy
4. I've never gotten as much compliments on an item of clothing as I have these
I think they're pretty good reasons if your'e looking for reasons to add flared pants to your wardrobe.
So the question is am I going to wear these pants way too much and fill my winter wardrobe with flared pants? Absolutely.
GET THE LOOK
The pants above are currently sold out so in case they don't come back into stock here are some other flared options..
While I have been quite good at brightening up my wardrobe lately I will always steer towards black clothing and I think most of you can relate to the fact that a black outfit is always going to be a safe yet chic option. Having said that black certainly doesn't have to mean boring. I love adding a pop of colour to black outfits through bags as they are generally the only accessory I ever wear and because I tend to wear black so often I do veer towards coloured bags more often when shopping.
This Pauls Boutique neon orange cross body certainly adds that pop of colour! I was instantly drawn to it as it's so bright and I'm having a moment for the colour orange lately so it had to be mine. I got so many compliments while wearing it simply because it catches the eye instantly. I will always love items on the way they look alone so I'm pretty easy to sell to, however, when I discover little features that make items practical then I fall that bit more in love. The practical features that this bag has is that it has an adjustable strap which is a big bonus for me as I'm only 5ft 3" so I do find a lot of cross bodies are too long for my physique and just don't look right so I have this adjusted to the second shortest length and it sits just right. It's also a lot roomier than it appears due to the very soft PU leather material used to make it so it is not a completely structured bag - I managed to fit my camera, 2 lenses, my purse (which is unnecessarily big) and some makeup bits in there so I was happy out!
If you follow fashion at all or are on any form of social media, I'm 99.9% sure that you are well aware that frills and ruffles are currently having a major fashion moment. They're everywhere! To be honest, I do tend to jump on board the latest trends all the time but I have not fallen in love with a trend as much as I have this one in a while. I want all of the frills! 😍
The moment I put on frills or ruffles I instantly feel like this emoji - 💃
And she looks like she's having a bloody great time so who wouldn't want to feel like that emoji! If you didn't notice by the shots I took in this top from Crave Closet, I had so much fun wearing this top, I adore how it moves! So here's to adding lots and lots of frills to my summer wardrobe and apologies if you're not a fan of this trend because you will be seeing a lot of it from me 😏
