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

My Fiancé Styles My Outfit

12/03/2018

You’ll know if you’ve read my blog for a while that getting Aaron to participate in anything blog related is a HUGE challenge, he doesn’t have a love for the camera (unless there’s a carp involved) that I do, so made a massive fuss when I ordered him to pick an outfit for me, but after much harassment, he eventually caved. I voice recorded the whole shebang so I could dictate our conversation for shits and giggs.  I hope you enjoy reading the conversation as much as I did when typing the whole thing up (please note: there are quite a few ‘fucks’ in this conversation. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!)
A: I don’t want to do this.
G. What do you mean you don’t want to do it – just pick something! It doesn’t have to be from what’s hanging up, you can pick something from my drawers as well. Tops are in the top drawer and trousers are in the bottom.
A: What about this jumper?
G: No, I wore that two days ago, no. I’ve got other jumpers at the bottom of the wardrobe.
A: YOU ASK SO MUCH OF ME IN THE MORNING (it was 8.30am)
G: This is going to make some great content… those are pyjamas on that side,
A: I’m just going to pick jeans and a jumper. What ones do you want, these ones?
G: You’re picking the outfit, you have to pick the shoes too.
A: Alright then, these jeans.
G: Alright, we’ve gone for the Topshop Jamie Jeans…
A: Why are you talking like that?!
G: *Laughing* It’s only for us to listen to (obvs a lie as I’ve put it in) so I can dictate it.
A: What about this?
G: Mmhmm
A: Too jazzy?!
G: We can wear it, but with what?
A: AHHHH I don’t know!
G: No, with what underneath?! I can’t just wear it on its own without anything underneath – fucking hell, imagine?! Okay, he pulled out my pinafore dress, but never mind.
A: Pulled out what?
G: A pinafore dress.
A: A pinafore?!
G: YES! It’s called a pinafore!
A: Alright.
G: What’s the weather like? Is it blazer weather? Could I get away with a blazer for today? (said whilst eyeing up a beaut blazer from Topshop my step-mum Fran gave to me the week before)
A: I don’t know.
G: Well, look out the window.
A: Cloudy with a chance of meatballs.
*Wardrobe door slams*
G: Okay, we’ve gone with a pinafore.
A: Why are you telling them? You know what you’re going to fuckin’ wear… This top? (a white long sleeve bardot top)
G: No, it’s off the shoulder.
A: White shirt is the best colour I’d say?!
G: Yeah.
A: Where are your fuckin’ good white shirts, cos all of these are like yellow.
G: *Laughing* NO, there is one in there, right near the top.
A: This one?
G: No.
A: This one?!
G: No – it’s got like stripes on it, but it’s not striped.
A: This one?!
G: No *laughing* that’s short sleeved.
A: You’re going to have to fold this up cos I’m pulling out everything everywhere. This one?!
G: No.
A: Alright, I’m gunna look one more time before I shut this drawer… This one?!
G: YES!
A: That was lucky.
G: PUT THAT T-SHIRT BACK! *laugh* why do you keep on opening your drawers?
A: Because I don’t go in your drawers – EVER!
G: Okay, what shoes am I going to wear?
A: These ones.
G: HAHA – my sparkly boots?!
A: Not that you can fuckin’ walking in them anyway – do these go with it? (black Doc Marten boots)
G: Yes, okay. Hold on…
A: Good, job’s a good’un. 
G: Hold on, I need you to do something… hold up what you’ve picked.
A: What?! No, NO!
G: Just The top and the uhh.. thing.
A: WHY?! I don’t want to Gaby!
G: Do it for the blog! *said in the tone of the classic – DO IT FOR THE VINE! I AIN’T GON DO IT*
do it for the vine
A: I don’t want to do it for the blog.
G: Open the curtains, natural light will make you look good. PICK IT UP!
A: I don’t want to Gabyyyyyy.
G: Pleeeaaassseee?!
A: No, I don’t want to.
G: PLEASE?!
A: No, I don’t want to be in one of your posts darling.
G: Please, please, please?!
A: Erghhhh…
G: But why?!
A: Hmmm, I don’t want to Gaby, it’s fucking annoying!
G: You can be a twat with it if you want to, it’s up to you.
A: I don’t want to Gaby.
G: Just…. *laughing*
A: Just what?! I’m not standing there like that – why?! No fucking way!
G: No, just fanny around with it, look down at what you’re doing, that’s fine. 
A: I’ve had enough, fucking hell.
G: AAROOONNNNNNN
A: Just get the fuck up (we were going to breakfast and I was lying in bed whilst this was all happening).
G: NOPE! COME HERE!!
A: I’m not getting a photo with all this bollocks.
G: Just hold it up, try to look as if you’re trying to do something with it.
A: LIKE WHAT?!
*SHOT INSERTED BELOW*

G: Ahhh, you’re so fit.
A: Mmm *laughs all around* fuck off, let’s have a look then…that’s a horrible photo.
G: Okay, well that’s that then.
A: Deal with it.
G: Okay, I’ve just gotta “deal with it”.
And that was the end of the outfit selection fiasco of Saturday morning. As much effort as it was to get Aaron to help me out for today’s post, listening back on the conversation was hilarious and he actually did a pretty good job at picking my outfit! Here are some shots with the black shearling jacket I left the house with and also a couple of me rocking a vintage denim jacket I picked up the same morning we went out (not Aaron’s selection, but it was far too cool not to showcase in this post).

Thank you to Aaron for being a good sport (as much as he made a fuss, I think he actually enjoyed it), he’s so bloody hilarious with stuff like this so please make sure to let me know if you’d like to see some more content like this in the comments below!

    The argument over taking the photo cracked me up because it’s so relatable, my boyfriend hates me taking photos of him, I’d definitely have the same palava. “Cloudy with a chance of meatballs” really tickled me for some reason as well. I love the outfit you ended up with, super cute and I’d definitely wear it myself! x

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!
Finally managed to grab a few photos this afternoo Finally managed to grab a few photos this afternoon and was so excited to share this #secondhand dress I picked up from a vintage shop in Hitchin yesterday, along with a load of other bits from various charity shops! We luckily managed to miss the rain both today and yesterday, so got to enjoy some sunshine for a little while! What have you been up to this weekend and have you managed to hit the shops since they introduced the mandatory face masks in shops?
