Why Is It Always So Cold?

So this is my first official outfit post of 2017! Yay! It feels so so so good to be posting something like this again. I know in my birthday post I talked about sharing different topics here, but outfit posts are where I started! Fashion, is, has been and always will be a staple topic on here! Its something that really is a huge and important part of who I am as a person... I love creating looks, especially ones to match my different moods. Just the way beauty gurus have more than one look, I'm the same with my outfits. Sometimes, I love the cute girly look with a lovely dress and some cute heels. Then other days i'm feeling nothing but rock n grungy vibes. I do feel I'll always channel that inner rock child though, its where i've always felt my most comfortable. Plus, I just love really edgy and cool clothes. Especially those with the grungy 90s vibe.

I think wherever I am in my life, no matter what I'm doing, I think I will always express myself through clothes and dressing up. I enjoy being able to make myself different everyday and I enjoy too many styles and items of clothing to limit myself to just one strict box! In the next year I'm really looking forward to pushing myself style-wise as well as artistically. I'm also looking forward to what type of content I'm able to create for youtube this year. I think youtube really helps you to express or share yourself in ways that blogging can't. For one, straight off the bat I feel it's more personal. Just because its a live image of yourself.

I was saying earlier tonight to my husband Chris, no matter where the whole online industry goes, I will always blog. I know many are saying that instagram & snapchat are where its going, but many of the online generation came from blogging. I doubt that it will be brushed aside that easily. Plus, they also say this about new forms of entertainment. When the t.v first came out that was to be the end of the radio generation. Yet we still turn it on every single day. Its the same for traditional tv, many are now flocking to online forms of video entertainment. Whether its youtube, twitch of even vevo. There is always going to be the next big new thing, but it doesn't always mean the end of something! Anyways, more outfit posts following soon! Already so much planned for this year.

Outfit Details

I wore this yesterday and wanted to keep it quit casual & comfy. As well as significantly warm and full of layers. We were off for our first weekly shop of the year, so I didn't need a huge jacket. When doing indoor things, I like to keep my jacket quite light with an extra layer like a cardigan on underneath. I didn't want to keep going for the slightly oversized black tee, so opted for this fun red one instead. I kept the colour of my lipstick within the same family. I thought the tight pencil skirt was a cute add to the oversized/casual look, plus I enjoyed pairing it with a more dressed down look. Since I'm always wearing this little black bag, I thought it would be rude not to use it again. Plus its great everyday bag fits the essentials!

Wear Some Attitude With Those Boots

Yay, I have another outfit post! Originally on wednesday I had planned to shoot some outfits i'd worn but due to the weather or lighting I was unable to get photos. That didn't happen. Then today, I woke up it was nice weather I thought, yes, today is the day. But again, it was not meant to be. As I began to get ready the rain started so I didn't really want to spend time re-applying makeup and getting dressed up just for it to not happen. Plus, with the way our weather and short days are, you have to be really quick! So it's better to get something else shot rather than nothing at all. So as I was just jumping to the pharmacy to get some medication and doing a small food shop, I didn't really need to dress up too much. So casual & chic it was!

I know I said I didn't have the weather to put my other outfits on, but that would of taken time and time in Scotland at this time of the year is precious! I had things needing to get done and it was beginning to get late so it wasn't long before we would lose the light... I'd say that about an hour or so after we took these photos the evening grey skies had already began to set in. I have to say, i'm enjoying making casual outfits a bit more chic again. About a year ago I would just throw any old rubbish I could find. Most of the time that was just an oversized jumper and some doc martens... Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just wasn't even trying to make it look cool. I wanted to blend in the background.

I'm hoping to be able to get more outfit posts, but the weather is so unpredictable in Scotland! That's why Chris and I are thinking about getting up earlier one day a week and just shooting everything I've worn! I know I normally post what i've worn that day on the day, but you will only get 1-2 post every 2 weeks if you are lucky! Even though I've made changes on the blog, I still want to keep posting outfit posts as much as I can, as I do enjoy doing them and keeping to what this blog was originally about!

Outfit Details
Chris and I went out last night for dinner for a date night and I wore this shirt. In all honesty, when I woke up this morning, it was lying on the floor. I didn't hesitate in grabbing it whatsoever. I'm not even ashamed. Its great to add a little more "put together in outfit". I thought the corduroy jeans would look great, keeping the casual in this outfit very firmly on the ground. Also, I adore them. I'm loving that they are cords as well as being bootcut rather than the safe skinny jeans we all know & love. Once I picked these two pieces everything else seem to fall into place. The cardigan with the burgundy details & being cozy, the bomber jacket with its cool & casual edge. As well as my trusty three. My hat, one of my all time favourite go tos to make an outfit cool, my burgundy bag. Which has sadly broken. And my burgundy suede & leather ankle boots. The day these give up on me will be another sad day.
