I’ll admit, if I’m wearing the right clothes or accessories – I feel like a bad ass bitch. I feel like I could go and dominate the world and look like the coolest person you’ve ever seen in your life, flicking my hair at the haters that walk by, sunglasses propped at the ends of their noses wondering “how is this girl so pumped when her hair is so wild, yet greasy?” Jk I don’t have haters staring at me – I’m actually quite friendly 😉
Well my friends, you simply find something that you feel emanates the utmost swag and you wear that with pride. I could sit here and tell you about all the things I think you should have in your wardrobe, how you should wear it and everything most other fashion blogs will tell you to do, but we all know I’m prone to fashion faux pas’ (hell – that’s the name of this blog!) but the main thing that makes you feel like a fly as fuck, sassy queen is what YOU think looks cool/ edgy/ *insert some young people lingo for the last two words that I don’t know about here*
I’ve personally got a lot of favourites when it comes to wanting to feel sassy, so here’s a list of my go-to’s for doing that;
Doc Marten boots
I’ve had these black boots for over a year and love them with all of my heart. I featured them in an older post similar to this called Stuff That Makes Me Feel Cool and they’ve remained a staple for me throughout all of the seasons. I can’t explain it, but wearing them makes me feel like the baddest bitch you’ve ever met.
Sunglasses
My staple shades are obviously my Ray Ban Clubmasters – I love them because they instantly make me look stylish as soon as they’re propped on top of my nose. These have remained a staple accessory for me and have been worn hundreds of times over the last couple of years! Find some shades that make you feel sassy – no matter what they look like.A great fitting pair of jeans
My personal favourites are from Topshop (I recently wrote about being a Topshop addict and shared everything I have that’s from Topshop in my wardrobe, you can check it out here) and fit me perfectly. With so many different sizes on the high street, you’ll need to shop around before finding the perfect pair for you depending on your shape or your preferences. I personally love my ripped skinny jeans and love how the older generations ask me whether my rips are intentional – yes they are and no I won’t buy another pair without holes in.
Find some jeans which are your perfect match whether that’s skinny, boot cut, straight leg, flared, mom fit, boyfriend fit – whatever!
A well made coat or biker jacket
I personally love a good, quality made jacket or coat – they’re items which can make or break an outfit – you could have the sassiest outfit on and ruin it with a crappy coat, so it’s definitely one of the things I make sure to nail when I head out of the house for whatever it is I’m doing that day. I think I’m a bit of a rocker chic (style wise) at heart and love having some chunky stuff to put with floaty, feminine pieces of clothing.
A staple handbag
I love me a handbag and if the bag I’m wearing is shit, I’ll feel like shit. I’m currently donning my bargain Michael Kors bag (check out a full overview of the greatest bargain of 2017 here) and will often wear a bag to death until it’s held together by a mere thread if I love it that much – though by the the time this happens, the love has always gone and I’ve moved onto something better. I personally love a well structured bag, which has enough room for everything bar the kitchen sink, while remaining positively stylish.
A positive view of myself
This last point is such a hard one to achieve – I have my days where I look like someone dipped my face in a pan of oil and poked at it until spots appeared, or my hair is greasy AF, my clothes don’t seem to go together the way I planned – but having one of the above things helps me skip past some of these everyday thoughts and channel positive energy, making me feel like the bad ass bitch I know I am.
I know it’s hard to not think about what others think – but wear things you feel comfortable in, channel who you are and go get em 😉

Yasss I love all these things, I also love a good stylish bag that you can fit everything in, I love bringing everything I own out with me, haha! I have some chunky gothic boots that make me feel like a queen, especially when I pair them with fishnets! And a dark red/purple lippy with a leather jacket makes me feel badass too 🙂

I love this post so much! It’s so true that sometimes little things can make a whole lot of difference towards how you feel in yourself. For me, if I’m wearing red lipstick it boosts my confidence so much, or if I take the time to curl my hair x

Superb blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring
writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a
little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go
for a paid option? There are so many options out there that
I’m totally confused .. Any tips? Appreciate it!
Hi Evie, thank you! I went for the free WordPress site for a year before taking the plunge and going self-hosted as I didn’t want to shed out money if I wasn’t going to stick with it. Self-hosted is a lot more versatile – I guess it all depends on what you’re after!
