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

Giving Boohoo Another Chance

19/09/2017

If you’ve been a follower of my blog from the beginning, you’ll know that I had a bit of a disaster with them last year and swore off ever shopping with them again.
I had issues with things arriving and not matching the colour shown on the website, there was also an issue with Hermes not delivering my parcels and just returning them back to Boohoo without leaving a delivery note 🙄.
However, whilst mooching on Facebook another ad came up on my newsfeed for some of their knitwear and I decided to have a look – I knew I could never swear off them forever and that I would be back again some day 😉. 
I found 4 items in the sale that I wanted, but unfortunately the app kept on crashing and I missed out on getting a £5 deep red cable knit jumper that I was really excited about for Autumn/Winter, so I ended up with just 3 items.
Pink Fitted Mid Sleeve Dress

Red High Neck Bodycon Dress

Black Cable Knit Jumper  

I decided to go for next day delivery which was an extra pound and I thought it was better to order over the weekend because I knew I would be home, should Hermes decide to be a nightmare as per. 
What arrived? 
Black cable knit jumper
I fell in love with this one as soon as it arrived – it’s perfect for this weird weather we’ve got during our transition to Autumn as it’s not too thin making me cold, but not too thick making me feel hot in the humidity! The price was great at just £8 which seemed like a steal to me! 

Red High Neck Bodycon Dress
The fabric of this was quite thin, but again perfect for the transition to autumn. I could rock it if I added some layers in the winter too which was a plus. The only downside was that I wore it to work and the office was quite humid, meaning sweat patches galore! Not a fault of the dress, just the colour showed it up a lot when I got home! However, at £5 I couldn’t grumble!  



Pink Fitted Mid Sleeve Dress 
I liked this dress a lot and thought it was perfect for my niece’s christening which is coming up next month. It’s more of a Spring/Summer colour, but at £5 I couldn’t miss out! It was pretty tight to get on and looks more pinky in real life, but I’m pretty happy with how it photographs! Excuse the scars on my legs – remnants of my battle with Hepatitis E 🙄

Verdict
I’ll definitely shop there again, but will try to order so my items come at the weekend. I think you get what you pay for, but you can definitely find some great cheap basics. I’d also recommend having a mooch at their sale, which is where I found all items featured today! Let me know your thoughts on Boohoo in the comments and if you’re a fan or not!

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
