Most Worn Items of 2017

06/12/2017

Just a warning for you all, you’re going to be seeing a lot of these end of year posts this month – most worn items, photo out takes, blogging achievements… don’t say you weren’t warned.
I thought it would be fun to crown my top items I’ve worn all year which have withstood the test of time and seasons. I’m sure you’ll all see these and roll your eyes at me showcasing the same old shit again – but I’m going to do it anyway 😉
Each item has been ordered based on how many times they appeared on my Instagram feed since the beginning of 2017;
1. Rayban Clubmaster Sunglasses
48 Times
These make me feel like I’m the absolute shit – like I can strut on a runway not giving two fucks (lol I deffo can’t with how much my legs go wobbly when someone makes me jump) just flicking my hair at the haters

2. Doc Martens
32 Times
Another thing that makes me feel like the edgy girl that stomps through her life like  “and what bitch?” These are deffo my fave shoes of 2017 and probably will continue into next year.
3. Ripped skinny jeans from River Island
15 Times
Who doesn’t love ripped jeans (other than older family members that love to inform you of the huge gaping hole you have in your jeans – no Auntie they’re supposed to be like that because, FASHION) I love these ones from River Island and the wash on them works really well for me.
4. Ripped skinny jeans from Miss Selfridge
9 Times
Ahh an old classic pair – yes they have holes in and yes is the answer I’ve given to all of the people that don’t understand fashion when they’ve asked whether I know there are holes in my jeans – but they’ve also lasted me a couple of years.
5. Black Joni jeans from Topshop
6 Times
Who doesn’t love the Topshop Joni jeans? Every girl and her sister has them. I’ve retained the colour by not wearing them too much and getting as much wear between washes as possible as they’re renowned for the colour washing out quickly. But again – fashion.
6. Tan bucket bag from Warehouse
6 Times
I love this bag and have done since Aaron got it for me for my birthday many moons ago – you can’t go wrong with a real leather bag as it only gets better with age. I’ve since swapped it in favour of my latest Michael Kors addition to my wardrobe, but this is a bag which will remain until the end of time.

And so we come to the end of the post as we draw towards the end of the year.
I’ve been working on this post for months and adding to it as these items cropped up time and again in my wardrobe. But the main thing I wanted to get across is that; investing in key pieces for your wardrobe will save you lots of pennies in the long run. I’ve only shown items which I’ve got photos of and there are a hell of a lot more wears which haven’t been shown and a lot more that has been worn on the regular.
Let me know in the comments below if you’ve got key staples that you want to shout about and tell everyone they need, as these are mine 😉

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
Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and let you all know I haven’t forgotten about this online world, I’ve just needed some time to myself after almost 5 years of continuous life sharing! I also haven’t been heading off anywhere glam or buying much to share on here, so today’s snap is a bit of a throw back to just before the first lockdown when I found this gorgeous wool blazer in @british_heart_foundation from @poloralphlauren 🥰 how are you all and have you managed to find any bargain secondhand finds?! ♻️🌿
I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely go I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely gone off of Instagram over the last few months and popped on here this morning for the first time in weeks to see if I could get back into the swing again. To be honest I’ve been so busy with work most days, that when it comes to having some free time all I want to do is slob out, watch something on the telly and do nothing - I spend most of my life on my laptop or work phone, that the last thing I want to do when I’m finished is churn out more content. But I’ve come to realise that’s okay - I don’t need to let my social media dictate how I live my life, or feel bad about the fact that I don’t have certain things, can’t go certain places or live a certain life - because social media (and especially Instagram), is where people showcase their best selves and not necessarily what’s going on off screen. I realised a while ago that jealousy isn’t going to get me anywhere; I might look at someone online and envy their life, but should be thankful (and am!) for the life that I’ve already got - there’s always going to be someone worse off and everyone has different goals or ideals in life, so there’s no use in getting bogged down when I can’t afford to go certain places, have certain things, when I’ll get where I need to be in my own time. I just need to carry on doing my own thing and not let the Instagram envy get me down ❤️
{GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sen {GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sending me these gorgeous earrings from her Etsy store - everything is zero waste and all packaging is 100% recyclable!  I hope you’re all enjoying the gorgeous sunshine and making sure your skin is well protected from the sun - you don’t want to end up tossing and turning because you got burnt and turned into a radiator in a day! We went food shopping and out to the in-laws for our weekly Sunday roast, so I’m now spending the afternoon keeping as cool as I can in the flat, readying myself for another week of work in the heat!
What a gorgeous day we have today! I’ve spent mo What a gorgeous day we have today! I’ve spent most of the weekend holed up at home, sweating my tits off and binge watching Empire, but it was nice to leave the flat to do some food shopping and have a Sunday roast with the in-laws! On the way home we stopped at a field near home to take some photos for today’s post and it was fun to try out a new location, rocking my #secondhanddress I picked up from @scopecharity last weekend!
