The Christmas Jumper Challenge Day 5: Read all about it!

 So today was day 5,

I absolutely love today's jumper! 

I wore Black corduroy treggings from Tu at sainsburys

A long black H&M T-shirt

Gok Wan for Specsavers Glasses

and..............

Squeeel, isn't this fab! 

It's from the mens range at British Christmas Jumpers

its the 'Daily Starr News' Jumper

I'm a 14 and bought it in a mens M and it fits just perfect

Such a cute novelty news paper print.

I saw it and just couldn't resist, and it's very comfy too.

In case you didn't see the other day 

British Christmas Jumpers have kindly given me a code 

that you guys can use to get a 20% discount until Christmas day.

They have all sorts of designs in multiple colours and styles.

At the checkout enter: 20%MH

I used a sharkskin shade stick by mac on my eyes

and a Revlon just bitten lip stain in flame on my lips

I paired it with my Jigsaw Leather Studded Star Cluster Tote Bag

from 2010/11 I think,

just such a lovely easy to wear bag

and finally on my feet I wore my Clarks Majorca Sun faux fur lined leather biker boots

I've just had these re-heeled to hopefully last a couple more winters.

What Milly Wore: Before The Summer

Hi guys,

hope you're all well and enjoying the sun!

I found a few outfit pics that I took before it got so warm

so sorry if they seem a little inappropriate for the current weather.

I Wore:

Stretchy Black polka dot dress - New Look (sale last year)

this is a really versatile every day dress, 

it has a kind of skater dress style which I find really flattering 

Black skull necklace - Tarina Tarantino

I love love love all of tarina tarantino's jewellery,

this is one of here smaller more understated necklaces.

Black Leggings - Primarni

Black Jersey Waistcoat - New Look

I love this waistcoat,

it's great for adding an extra layer and it has pockets too!

Black Pixie boots - River Island 

Folky Print Jersey Wrap Coat - Free People (ASOS sale £40 last year)

I just love this coatigan!

It's so snuggley, and I love the faux embroidery style print.

It's got a bit of a skirt to it too.

Here's a close up of the print on the back

cute eh!

xXx

What Milly Wore: Fancy Florals

Hello one and all :)

I've managed to make a small photography set up in my room

So I can take outfit pictures before work!

Yes these photos were taken at 6:30am

This is probably the most organised I have been ever!

With my new job and all, I've been dressing a bit smarter

and I love it!

Earlier this week I wore this outfit which consists of:

Floral / Daffodil white yellow and green dress: Tu (sainsburys)

In the sale, plus and extra 25% off everything

so it ended up being under a tenner!

I bought LOADS of clothes from Asda and Sainsburys

so expect to see more on the blog!

Khaki Catwalk Suede Tote Bag: Jaeger London RRP £499

I love this bag so so so much.

It feels really expensive and is a great size.

and it was the biggest bargain ever!

It was reduced to £60 on BrandAlley ( my fave designer outlet)

and I had a £50 voucher (from a tesco points exchange thing)

So all I paid was £15.95 including postage!!!

It came with the original Jaeger price label on it as well,

my mum nearly had a heart attack!

Here's a slightly better picture of the bag -

Mickey Mouse Padlock Necklace: Disney Couture

Plain Black Cardi: New Look

Plain Black leggings: Primarni

Black long top: H&M 

(worn underneath, so I could wear the tu dress rolled up as a top)

Lightwieght Green Parks: ASOS (flash sale £15 ish)

Leopard / Dalmation Pony Skin Boots: Kimchi Blue via Urban Outfitters

Still my favourite booties,

I get nice comments every time I wear them

and they're really really comfy.

I didn't manage to take any more work outfit pictures this week

but I'll deffo be doing one or two next week!

What do you guys wear to work?

Do you get to wear what you like within reason?

Leave any comments below,

I love reading them :)

What Milly Wore: Mary & Charnos Armery

Hi guys,

hope you're surviving the cold!

I was lucky enough to be sent a pair of Armery by Charnos to try,

as part of the Charnos Blogger Challenge.

I was asked to style my Armery any way I like

to go up against the other bloggers on facebook!

But what are Armery I hear you cry? (I swear I can hear a few of you!)

You may have heard of them if your a fan of Mary Portas & watched Mary queen of frocks,

if not they are quite a simple but ingenious concept.

They are basically tights, for arms!

If like me you are not a fan of your upper arms,

they do a great job of covering them, 

whilst supporting and slightly holding you in.

Most importantly they do all of the above without adding bulk.

I was sent my Armery in Indigo, in a M/L which fit perfectly (I'm a 14)

I tried them on with all sorts of dresses that I normally don't wear without a cardigan,

and I can honestly say they are brilliant!

They look sleek and stylish 

and most of all dont look like you are trying to cover up if you get what I mean!

They are really stretchy and opaque,

and go with almost everything.

and 'like' my picture

I'd really appreciate it, I could win some more Charnos goodies!

So here is how I wore mine:

Indigo Armery: Mary Portas for Charnos

Chinese Fan Printed Dress: Trollied Dolly

Black Treggings: Next

(close up of print on dress, Isn't it pretty! Love the indigo background colour)

Flower Hair Band: Accessorize

(It's deffo not a fascinator, we all know how much Mary Portas hates those)

Navy Blue Leather & Suede Boots: Clarks (Style Name Knitting Yarn)

(Here's a better picture, I love them they make me feel Victorian!)

So yes,

overall a brilliant product,

If you like they way I've styled them,

What Milly Wore: Purple Rain

Hi Guys,

hope you've all had a lovely week

and you're all getting used to the fact that it's nearly February and getting colder!

I was lucky enough to be contacted by Daxon

and asked if I would like to choose an item to feature on my blog.

Daxon are branching into Plus Sized clothing,

so I was interested to see what they had available.

As a size 14, I'm at that awkward size where I'm not quite plus size,

 but a bit big for some shops!

But as someone from a family of  *ahem* curvier ladies

I gladly took them up on their offer.

I chose the Suedette Quilted Jacket in Purple

When looking at their website it's easy to skim over and think that it's aimed at a more mature lady,

or that they are not very fashion forward,

but I really would no be so quick to write them off.

I really feel you can take staple pieces such as this jacket and add it to any wardrobe,

you can style up in your own way, give it your own twist if you will.

As I hope I've proved with this post.

The jacket is extremely good quality,

much better than you would find on much of the high street,

I was really impressed with the suedette fabric, it feels really soft and authentic

and I love the faux leather piping too.

It's so well made and is a joy to wear :)

As Daxon go from a size 14-36 I think it's a great place to try

if you are struggling to find great quality clothing

in your size.

In this outfit I Wore:

Purple Suedette Quilted Jacket: C/O Daxon £49

Galaxy Print Grey Cardigan: Asos (a few years ago)

Multi Galaxy Wolf Dress: Motel @ Topshop (also ages ago)

Grey T-Shirt Dress (worn underneath): H&M

Black Treggings: Next £18 (new)

Galaxy / Glitter Print Duffle Bag: Peter Pilotto for Kipling

Leopard Wired Hair Band: Dolly Bow Bow

Future Mystic Small Crescent Gem Shapes Necklace: Tatty Devine

Grey Suede Felix Boots: Kurt Geiger £35 Sale

What Milly Wore: Aztec Swan

Hi Folks,

So I've not really made a new year resolution persay,

but I am trying to get myself organised, by sorting through my room

and my wardrobes to get rid of what I don't wear

But also I am trying to make use of pieces that I love 

but don't get use out of for some reason.

I'd like to vary my outfits more,

care less what others think of my style,

and experiment a bit!

Here is what I wore Yesterday:

Khaki Quilted Jacket: River Island (last year) £30 ish

I've had so much use out of this jacket but it is yet to be featured on the blog

as I usually wear it just with t-shirt and jeans.

It's kind of barbour esque which I love

Nude / Pale Pink Padlock Bag: M&S (last year) £39 ish

I'm not really an M&S kind of person

but I saw this bag in a magazine and just had to buy it!

and I haven't regretted it,

Its really unique spacious and well made, just wish it was leather!

Black Pearl Cardigan: New Look (sale last year) £9 ish

I never wear this cardigan,

purely because it annoys me that I cant do it up!

I do love the pearl detailings and buttons though.

Swan Digital Print Cropped Top: H&M £19.99

This is a fairly recent purchase that I've just not got round to wearing

I just think the swan is very mysterious looking, 

and I love anything with a photographic or digital print

Also seen on my Clothes Twin Hannah :)

Aztec Bodycon Midi Skirt: River Island £20 this season

I bought this skirt on Tuesday,

I'd had my eye on it for a while, and decided at £20 it was worth it!

I really like the print, that it's high waisted and the midi length

It's amazing!

Black Leggings: £4 Primark

As always, actually need to buy a few more pairs!

I love the clashing prints,

They shouldnt go together but they somehow do!

Black Leather & Tweed Fabric Buckle Boots 'Smoke': Carvela Kurt Geiger

Original Price £180 Sale Price £89 Price after discount code & voucher £49 :)

I love these boots, couldnt believe I got them for such a good price!

I featured them on my blog a couple of months ago 

but didnt think I would be able to afford them

They are really comfy and fur/fuzzy lined.

Think that's everything guys,

Do you like to clash prints?

Have you had any surprise sale bargains?

What Milly Wore: Leopard & Bambi

 

Hey guys, here is what I wore earlier this week,

before I came down with some kind of winter cold virus!

I do not know how I've not worn this on the blog before

It's my go to winter coat, so warm, and the hood is furry on the inside too!

Bambi Jumper: H&M £19.99 New

I bought this bambi jumper last week,

The same ones I was wearing in my last WMW post, but this time rolled up!
