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

Making the most out of new fashion purchases

30/04/2019

If you follow me on social media, you’ll know that I had a splurge the other week with some vouchers and cash I got for my birthday (see my Things You’ll Know if You’re a Shopaholic post for a more in depth look into that). But in the interest of saving the planet and the most out of my money, I thought I’d share some of the bits I picked up and a couple of variations to make the most out of what I purchased. So without further ado, here is a selection of the outfits I put together and where you can find them;

I’m planning on wearing this either alone or with a black/white tee underneath (although I feel the black will make me feel like a bee and show through) – versatility is key.

Yellow Gingham Dress H&M £14.99 (I couldn’t find the link to this, but I found a black and white one here).

I’m obsessed with this T-shirt and know it’ll be pulled out for what I’ve donned #FrenchFriday (where you wear a T-shirt with something French on it) with various outfits and the jeans with all kinds of summer tops. The possibilities are endless.

Grey & Yellow Tres Chic slogan tee H&M – £8.99

White Embroidered Jamie Jeans Topshop – (SALE) £10 – I couldn’t find these particular ones, but the white ripped ones are linked here.

I love the black frill on this top and know it’s going to remain a staple in my wardrobe for years to come. The dungaree dress looks great like this, but when I actually wore it out I looked pretty frumpy (gutted). I’m going to see how I get on with it and might return it for something else, but haven’t decided yet.

Black frilled top Dorothy Perkins – £14 (£9.80 in the sale)

Denim Dungaree Dress River Island – (SALE) £30

I am in love with this outfit and actually rocked this for lunch with Grandad the other day (with some obligatory white Converse of course). The white linen top is super cooling and not too clingy, the skirt is also really flowy and comfortable for any extra food you eat – the pattern doesn’t really show the food baby 😉

White linen top H&M – £12.99

Navy Polka Dot Maxi Skirt – £26

This top is bloody gorgeous and versatile enough to dress up or down – just what you need from any new wardrobe staples. I quite like how this looks with the dungaree dress – it gives it a more casj look.

White spot top River Island – £26 (£15 in the sale)

This jumpsuit is probably my favourite purchase from my splurge – it’s figure hugging in the right places and will look great with a T-shirt underneath when it’s a little chillier or a big chunky cardigan. The belt is real leather so will last and age well (it also won’t crack and peel off which is a bonus!)

Black polka dot jumpsuit Topshop – £39

Tan Leather Belt Next – £18

Have you had any recent splurges and what’s your go-to outfit for this spring/summer?

    Ever since you mentioned on one of your social media platforms that you’d had a shopping splurge, I was hoping you’d do a haul type post yay! I love SO many things in this, especially the denim pinafore and the spotty jumpsuit, they’re right up my street. The jumpsuit compliments your figure so well, I’m loving it! I really want some midi skirts like the navy blue polka dot one as I think that type of style is so pretty and perfect for Summer. I haven’t had a good splurge in ages but I did buy a khaki green button up midi dress and a pink floral wrap top from Primark a couple of weeks ago, both of which I’ve been loving so much.

    I LOVE THE JUMPSUIT AND THE SKIRT. They are so damn cute!! I ordered myself a new belt recently as I’ve started having to make new holes in all of mine hahaha and it arrived and it was also too big so I’m waiting for it to return in a smaller size now, I love a good cute belt to go with outfits though it really spruces them up! Dungaree dresses/pinafores are definitely a huge guilty pleasure of mine, they’re so versatile and you can wear so many different things under them when they’re plain as well! Perfect for all seasons, too 🙂 Love this haul Gaby!!

      Ahhh thanks lovely, I was bloody obsessed when I found them both (as I was with everything in this haul haha!) maybe I’ve been subconsciously taking in the dungaree/pinafore love from your posts as now I’m thinking about it, I’ve seen them all over your blog/Insta 😂❤️❤️❤️

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
