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

What I’ll be wearing this Spring/Summer

30/03/2018

I’m planning on shopping my wardrobe as much as I can (with a few additions here and there – this girl can’t wear grey looking white tops forever) and today will be talking about what I’ll no doubt be wearing a lot of this season. Well, when the weather actually suggests it’s the start of Spring anyway.
I’m sure if you follow me on Instagram (if you’re not, you’re missing out on some great captions my friend – don’t miss out and go follow me!) that you’ll have seen me attempting to add a bit of spring into my wardrobe already. Yes I might layer up when I leave the house, or regret breaking in some new pumps on one of the coldest days of the year, but it’s supposed to be spring god damn it!

When I started to write this post, I started to think about all of the clobber I’ve been hoarding/ wearing from the discount online fashion shopping reviews I’ve been doing for the series I run on here, as well as my go to pieces that always come out time and again. I realised that I’ve not been making good use of some great pieces I have, so although there are some new bits I’d like to add, I need to be a bit more savvy with my spending!

White Chuck Taylor Converse


I added these to my (shit- according to my Dad) shoe collection last year and have to say, they’re a fail safe shoe for this season. However, they do need a wash and it was abundantly clear when I wore them to work recently and the girl I sit next to had the FRESHEST pair I’d seen on, next to my grubby old things. But I love them still, so will be rocking these a lot – again.

Cream Frilled Blazer


I can’t decide if this beaut needs to be saved for my hen do when I have (well, I don’t have to, I WANT to) to distinguish myself as the bride among my hens, but I know I’ll deffo be rocking this all spring/summer long – it’ll look perfect with some jeans and sandals, over a pretty floaty dress – the possibilities are endless. AND it was an item from Topshop that cost me less than £10 ; you’re in the midst of a bargain hunter.

White Jeans



I haven’t braved wearing these yet (hence why I’m recycling photos from me wearing them last year) because the weather is absolutely shit and I’m not going to risk wearing white jeans when I may just splash mud from a puddle or the mountain of congealed leaves piled up in our car park outside (council estate life) when I walk out to jump in the car with my Auntie Magi for a lift into work. BUT, when the sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky and I’m on a rare night out, these will definitely be my go to pair of jeans.

Black and white dog tooth trousers



These beauts were a great find from my beloved ASOS (and make sure to read up on five reasons you need to shop with them if you haven’t already). It was payday, not just any old payday, but BONUS payday, so I obviously had no chill when it came to ordering these with my ASOS premier next day delivery and getting majorly excited when they arrived and found they had a cute frill on the pockets!

Navy Blue Fitted Trousers

My Dad Styles My Outfit
I’ve got to get a bit dandy with the sewing machine before I rock these navy blue trousers I got during a Black Betty review as they need to be taken up and in a little bit so they fit like a glove, but once I’ve finally gotten around to that, I know these will be worn to death. I’ll also need to get me some tan leather brogues (as instructed by my Dad in one of my recent posts) so I’ve got the perfect pair of shoes to set them off.

Gingham


I don’t particularly care if this isn’t “on trend” this year (although I’m quite sure it’s sticking around) I’m all about rocking gingham again this year, so expect to see some more of this cute Bardot style top and possibly a couple of other bits if I happen to stumble upon them on my travels.

Vintage Levi Shorts

I don’t think it would be spring/summer without these bad lads and I know these will be staple for me this year as I won’t be donning a yellow tinge/scratch marks from the vile hepatitis E virus I had last year.
And there we have a few bits you’ll be seeing on here (some of them again because I’m a creature of habit). What are you going to be rocking this season?

    Gingham and dogtooth are such BEAUT prints, they’re definitely up there with my favourites alongside tartan and you look so good in them! I’m adoring that frill blazer too, my mum would deffo love that as it’s classy but super chic! And as for the converse – keep em grubby!! They look way better and authentic that way!

    I really wish I could pull off white jeans as I would totally be rocking that this season! I’m probably going for some frilled sandals, jeans and a flowy top of some sort 🙂 x

    I can’t wait to see all of your upcoming Summer outfits, I’m so excited! Your style is my favourite. I love dogtooth trousers, I definitely need a pair for work. I really wish off the shoulder tops suited me as they’re super pretty! My Converse are so grubby I can’t even cope, I really need a fresh pair x

    I love gingham in the warmer months, so pretty!
    I’m actually to scared to wear white jeans because I’m so messy, I know they’ll get filthy before I’ve even left the house

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
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!
