What Milly Wore: Birthday Cape

Hello readers,

I'm trying to get into the swing of posting more regularly again, 

so I thought I would start with a What Milly Wore post!

Today was my Birthday! Hazzzaaahhh I'm now 23 which feels very old!

I'll do a post on the lovely gifts I've been given next week!

Excuse the not so good quality photos, they were taken in the dark :)

I Wore:

Cream Lacey Frilly Dress: Pussycat London Via HOF a couple of years ago £6 ish

I've worn this dress on the blog before last year here, I love the girly feel of it

I also own the same dress in black but don't seem to wear it half as much!

Brown Red Green Aztec Print Blanket Cape: Topshop last winter

I own this in grey too (I'm sensing a theme here!)

I've never worn either of them out of the house before tbh

but with a belt it seems to make them look much more coat like!

Tan Plaited Leather Belt: Next Sale in the summer

Brown Studded Metallic Leather Fringe Pouch Bag: River Island sale last winter

Once again, never been used before

but I'm making an effort to use what I already own!

With this tasselled bag and the cape I started to feel a bit robin hood esque.

Speckled Knitted Brown Patterned Boot Socks: Pringle via TKmaxx £5.99

These socks are amazeballs,

not only are they kinda fairisle patterned 

but they are also multicoloured speckled/ flecked in the wool!

Brown Shearling Biker Boots (rolled down): River Island Last Year £74.99

I own these in brown and black and wear both pairs all the time

stylish practical and comfy!

Fashion Fix: Awesome Aztec & Nice Navajo

 I was a huge fan of the Aztec & Navajo prints

that were around last A/W, 

but I love the ones this year even more

Here is my guide to the best items I've found:

Aztec Pattern Coat £100 ASOS

Not cheap, but I love the style of it, and it would be lovely and warm

maybe wait for a money off code?

Pendleton Meets Opening Ceremony Military Cardigan Coat 

£236 reduced from £592 ASOS

OK so this is a serious investment piece

But if you can afford it go for it, it will last you a lifetime

Aztec Borg Hooded Parker £75 Topshop

This is very similar to a leopard print one I bought from topshop last year,

the fleecey lining in the hood is to die for!

I like that the pattern in a little more subdued on this one.

Blue Print Faux Fur Aztec Coat £85 River Island

This coat is a bit more unique than the others which I really like,

The colour combination and the fur around the hood make it a bit different

Navajo Blanket Duffle Coat £125 Urban Outfitters

This is probably my favourite out of the bunch,

The prefect combination of navajo, duffle, parka and blanket!

Red & Grey Aztec Print Cape £40 River Island

I bought two aztec capes from Topshop last year

and they are amazing, It's like walking round in a blanket,

very comfy, fashion forward and flattering

especially with a belt!

Woven Aztec Satchel £45 Urban Outfitters

This is a great way to add colour to a plain outfit

I just wish the handles were real leather

Backpack with Aztec Print £35 ASOS

I actually found this in the men's section!

don't be afraid stray from women's items when looking for accessories

nobody would ever know!

Printed Leggings £20 Topshop

As you may know I'm not adverse to some funky leggings in my life

And these printed ones from Topshop are great to wear with a baggy t-shirt

and some high-tops, channelling the 80's vibe :)

Grey Aztec Print Leggings £22 River Island

If you fancy something a bit more subtle

this pair in neutral tones are great!

Black Aztec Print Tapered Leg Trousers £22 River Island

I love these,

they could be really smartened up for a night out with a black vest top,

a pair of heels and a clutch bag!

BDG Printed Rib Knit Leggings £24 Urban Outfitters

These look fab,

great as pyjama bottoms or just lounging round the house

these long john style leggings look so comfy

Thats everything folks,

Please let me know what you think of this kind of post,

as I'm forever finding great items to buy, and cant afford

so I might as well share them with you guys right? :)

What Milly Wore: Printed Maxi

Stained Glass Maxi Skirt - £15 Topshop sale

Leopard Blanket Cape  - £25 ASOS

Black Studded Bag - Topshop Last  Year

and thats all you can see :)

This is the skirt in all its glory

it was £50 originally, I got mine online a week or so ago, but it seems to have sold out :(

And here is the leopard cape

I bought mine with my groupon voucher

Its now reduced to £20 in the sale now HERE

Blanket capes are actually great for this time of year,

warm enough, but easy to slip off the shoulder or wear more open if it gets too hot!

What did you guys spend your groupon vouchers on if you got one?
