Dinner Outfit.





Whistles dress (old) 
Givenchy Rottweiler clutch 

Apologies for the phone photos, but this was an outfit I wore out to dinner last week. I went for a lovely Chinese, and wore this outfit. My dress was from whistles ages ago (I've blogged about it before), and my coat is from Missguided - this coat instantly dresses up any outfit. I added my over the knee boots from River Island as they're comfortable, practical and aren't too dressed up. Finally I added one of my sale buys - this gorgeous Givenchy Rottweiler clutch bag (I have a Selfridges sale haul going up on my Youtube channel tomorrow).

Autumn denim.





I'm still loving my Topshop denim dress and as I hadn't worn it for a while I decided to get it out again last weekend. This outfit was what I wore on Saturday for coffee and shopping (still obsessed with the pumpkin spice latte!). I paired the dress with this Monki top that I showed in an ASOS haul a few weeks ago which I really like, and my new River Island coat & boots. I really liked this outfit, and I'm really getting into skirts and dresses recently!

Navy & Black.





Whistles Dress 
Primark hat 

I love these new boots from River Island! They've made them in a wide leg version this season which is perfect for me as I unfortunately struggle a lot with boots. I'm so pleased that I got these as they're perfect for autumn/winter to wear with dresses and jumper dresses. They also fit over jeans which makes them even more versatile! I also managed to get them when RI had their student discount event, but I've got my eye on the grey version now too! 
My dress is from Whistles, and I actually got it in the sale back in the summer, but haven't worn it yet as it's been to warm up to now. It's really simple, but as always with Whistles, great quality and easy to wear. 
I added my Primark hat for a touch of boho-chic, and I think it just completes the outfit!

Verity





Primark jumper
Clarks boots 

Last weeks Grazia magazine came with 25% off Whistles, which of course I had to make use of. I'd been thinking about a backpack for a while now, and have had my eye on a couple of the MCM and Marc Jacobs ones, but I don't know how much I'll use a backpack, so when I saw this Whistles one, I decided to get it. It's real leather and great quality, but isn't as expensive as the designer options. It's not super-affordable, but I'm fussy about bags! The rest of the outfit is really simple, and all items I've shown before in hauls and other posts - I really like how this outfit came together though - minimal but still interesting - I'm loving long boots right now too!

Skull of flies.





Primark stripe top 
M&S black leather flats 
Bracelets: Whistles & H&M (old)
Rings: vintage & The Great Frog 
Necklaces: Brandy Melville & Primark 

This outfit is what I'd call a 'transitioning outfit' (ie. between seasons). The two tops layered together work really well, and it's a good way to break up an all black outfit. I really like this skull tank from Cheap Monday: I picked it up in the Carnaby street store where the sales assistant told me he did 'a stripe wash' which made me chuckle as I wear too much stripes! I've always been a big fan of skulls and although I outgrew my emo phase long ago, I still love a good skull print - this one is made up of tiny flies. I got the shoes in M&S for £15 in the sale, they're real leather and are such a basic item. Believe it or not, I didn't actually own any black ballerinas!

Simple outfit.





Bangles: topshop & whistles 
Primark necklaces
Michael Kors watch 
Rings: vintage & The Great Frog 

This is such a simple outfit but I love this top/dress from Brandy Melville, it's so soft, comfortable and easy to wear. I've added some interest to a very plain outfit with a variety of jewellery - these Primark necklaces were only £2 for both!

Dressing down a formal dress.




ASOS long sleeve top (old) 
Topshop boots 
You might recognise this dress from my PGCE graduation post a couple of weeks ago! I bought it for graduation but thought it was such a shame not to wear it up, so I experimented with ways I could 'dress it down' to get more wear out if it (and also how to wear it into autumn and winter). I added a plain long-sleeve tee underneath and my Topshop boots (these are the ones I got for £18 in the sale last month) and I think the outfit works well!

The new Whistles bracelet.



I do love it when Grazia do their 25% off vouchers, and last time I had one for Whistles, I bought a bracelet and ring which I've worn loads, so when I got another voucher, and saw they had a similar bracelet this season, I decided to pick up another one. It was only £20 (£15 with the voucher) and it's really beautiful. I love how simple these are, and the quality is great. This particular one is quite fiddly to get on, but I do really love it! I wish Whistles other things were a little bit more affordable as they do have some lovely pieces! x

My most worn jewellery.
















I've never really talked about jewellery much on my blog before, and after showing you all my new ring from The Great Frog, I though it would be nice to blog about my other favourite pieces of jewellery. 
Watch 
This was a 21st birthday present from my grandma, and it's a Rose Gold watch from Michael Kors. Loads of people have these now, but I wear mine everyday. I like that it looks elegant, but is still chunky and modern. 
Necklace
My most worn necklace has to be the wishbone necklace, which is from Astrid & Miyu. It's very dainty and simple, but I just find that it goes with everything, and I find myself reaching for it more than any of my others. This is yellow gold plated, and is really affordable.
Bracelet
I like very simple bracelets, and have a few different ones, but this one from Whistles is my favourite. It's partly a bangle, and partly a leather wrap bracelet. It's very unique and again quite subtle, but it's comfortable to wear and goes with anything. 
Rings
I wear rings everyday, and I am nearly always wearing at least two of these. The plan gold V shaped one was a hand me down from my mum. It's real gold, and it's very easy to wear. Another one from my mum is my 3 diamond ring. I wear this ring every single day, and have done for years. I get loads of compliments on it, and I really love wearing it. The gold 'crown' style ring is from Whistles, and I got it when I bought the bracelet, again it's simple but I like it. My platinum ring with diamonds was a hand me down from my grandma. I don't wear this one much as it's a lot bigger than my other one, but it's really beautiful! Last but not least, my skull ring is the ghost warrior ring from The Great Frog.I'm not sure where you could find my other rings, as the Whistles one is no longer available, and I've no idea where my other ones came from, but if you're looking for similar things, I'd have a look in a jewellers or maybe a vintage jewellers. 
It's quite an unusual set of jewellery, but these are just my favourites (not my entire collection), and you can probably tell, I like mixing metals! I also like mixing daintier pieces with heavier ones, but it's all usually dependant on my mood, and what I'm wearing or doing that day! 
I hope that some of you may have found this interesting or useful! Have a lovely day! x
