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

fashion•Uncategorized

My fashion faux pas' this past year

06/04/2017

I like to reflect every now and again to better understand what works for me and what doesn’t (that’s what started this blog in the first place!) and today I was scrolling through my Instagram pictures to see how my style has developed over the last year and a bit of me having this blog. 
I’ve been getting 2-3 new Instagram followers for each post and I wanted to see what I was doing differently now to say 9 months ago and how can I get my blog out there a bit more. 
I’ve created a list (yes, another one) of my least favourite outfits, with the fashion faux pas and what I’d change if I were to re-style it;
1. Grey Coke T-Shirt Topshop & Printed Leggings H&M

Okay, this is a couple of years old but I thought it was a good place to start! 
I’d get rid of those dirty smelling sandals and chuck them straight in the bin (NGL I think they’re still hiding away in my wardrobe) and swap them for my classic DM’s, although as this was the height of summer, I’m not sure they would have been weather appropriate. Georgie and I were getting matching love heart tattoos on our ankles for her 21st birthday and I thought I was oh so trendy 😒
2. Grey striped shirt from Primark with Black Denim Shorts From Topshop

I liked the idea of this one and felt good when wearing it, but think that looking back it didn’t look great.
 I think I hate the shirt to be honest – it’s now all bobbly after being washed and not very flattering with these shorts, I think it’s one for the bin.
3. White Vest and Striped Trouser from Tesco

I loved these trousers but don’t think they’re very flattering on my legs – I think I’d prefer it if I swapped the vest for a round neck fitted t-shirt and took off the belt. 
4. White baggy t-shirt from boohoo.com, Primark leggings, Topshop bag and Lace Espadrilles from River Island; 
 
I love these espadrilles and will definitely be pulling them out again this year, however I don’t think they go well with the black and white of my outfit. If I were to re-style this I would change the t-shirt to something printed and swap the shoes for a pair of Converse. 
I’ve ended up hating pretty much everything I bought from boohoo.com last year and am seeing it’s really apparent in this post. 
5. White cut out jacket and strappy white top from boohoo.com with paisley printed blue shorts from Primark

I love these shorts and think I needed to pair them with a less baggier top – I look like a sack of potatoes on top and the jacket is really cheapy looking (hello to yet another boohoo.com fail) 
The jacket will shortly be going in the bin/ to the charity shop. 
6. Black leather jacket, black turtleneck top from New Look, printed skirt from Primark and brown suede Chelsea boots from River Island

I hate the boots with this outfit and think I would have loved this look more with my black DM’s. It’s reminded me I need to invest in a new black leather jacket! 
And they’re my fashion faux pas’ that I’ve pulled out for your entertainment! Let me know how you would style my outfits and give me a bit of inspiration!
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
