The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle An unconventional fashion blogger trying to find her place on the internet

Fashion trends I can't get on board with

09/05/2016

I started writing this post a couple of weeks ago and didn’t get around to posting it yesterday, so apologies for the delay!
So, I was thinking as I was walking around H&M a couple of Saturday’s ago about trends that I personally could never get on board with and after scrolling through old Facebook photos have compiled a list of my ‘don’t even go there bell end’ trends that I can’t be dealing with;
1. Animal prints. I don’t think I’ve worn anything animal print since I was about 20;

I don’t know what it is about it, but whenever I personally (I hope to cause no offence to anyone that does wear it, I bet you look banging 😉) wear it, I feel like I look tacky. Even if I find something in the shops that’s high quality, my inner voice tells me “Kat Slater” and I immediately put it back. Except for pyjamas, but who sees me in them?
2. I highly doubt this in controversial, but Croc shoes. Just plain ugly and no further explanation should be required.
3. Plastic see-through anything. Be it a clutch bag, shoes or rain mac, I cannot get on board.
4. Pom Poms. I could fall in love with something until I see a big old furry, knitted, or tasseled Pom Pom and immediately hate it. It reminds me of textiles lectures at uni when our nutty lecturer would insist on us making the bloody things over and over again, which is the root cause of my hatred (little ones are fine, I just got a black swing top from boohoo.com with tiny ones along the hem ☺️)
5. Anything with organza. Again, this is due to having to use the damn stuff at uni for a collection that I hated with a passion. The colour scheme was grey, purple and orange, nuff said.
6. Huge clip in/headbands with flowers for your hair. Now this, I have picture evidence of. I thought I looked the shit with my huge flower on the side of my head, but look at how ridiculous it looks now;
7. And while reminded by the photo above, big chunky waist belts that serve no purpose. I was obsessed with everything I was wearing this night but in hindsight, I don’t think it works together. What do you reckon? 😜

8. Neon coloured anything unless attending a party and the theme is neon. Again, this is something I feel I look tacky in and can’t get on board
9. Bargain shop lace. I’ve kind of gone off lace altogether lately and think it’s due to seeing tacky stuff everywhere that isn’t well made
10. And finally polka dots! This is only after an eBay purchase from a Chinese store where I received a dress that had printed polkas on top on the fabric that ended up cracking (and they didn’t line up properly at the seam). Now anything else I pick up with a polka dot print reminds me of that bad purchase

I think ten is enough for now. I’m sure in a few months time when I’ve had time to mooch around the shops and the spring/summer styles I might add more 😉
Until next time…

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
