♡: OOTD

Showing posts with label OOTD. Show all posts

Greetings all!

Back again with a little OOTD - I'm aware I missed my April Books post but that was on purpose, I'm going to do a combined April & May books. April was a little tough for me lockdown-wise and mentally/emotional on various levels, so I didn't get a whole lot of reading done - everytime I picked up my book I read 2 pages and fell asleep.

Anywho, back to the outfit. I absolute LOVE this little green top from Zara and I'm loving this kind of green with chocolate brown, it reminds me a bit of mint chocolate chip ice-cream and I'm not upset about it.

These jeans are new and also Zara - MAJOR size warning here - I ordered my usual Zara jeans size, the size of my other flared pair that currently fit me at the moment, but these arrived and honestly I'm not exaggerating when I say there was a foot of space between the button and the hole when I tried to close them, so I sent them back and sized up. But just as an FYI, they fit VERY small, so don't feel bad about yourself if your normal size doesn't fit - I find Zara sizes truly all over the place at the best of times. Nevertheless, I do adore these jeans - super flattering and I love the little slits at the ends.

The bag, yet another ASOS gem (unfortunately sold out, but similar ones here and here) as are these Mary-Kate & Ashley-esque sunglasses (in stock!) - the perfect finishing touch to the outfit! The hoops, also Zara, I may have done a couple (or 5) Zara hauls recently... they just have so much nice stuff at the moment. So jealous of anyone who got private Zara appointments before they re-open, because lord knows it will be CHAOS.

That's all for today, will be coming at you soon with some more summery outfits but also back-to-the-office outfits if any of you, like me, are slowly returning to the office now that restrictions are starting to lift. Skincare Saviours blog post also coming soon, keep your eyes peeled (ew)...

Thanks for reading as always and I hope everyone is feeling a little better knowing that we are slowly but surely getting out the other side of the hell that has been this past year.

Lots of love,

I felt very Jane Fonda in her 1970s/1980s workout video mixed with Sporty Spice in this outfit - both with the shiny purple trousers and the colourful puffa (of course) on top.

Both of these pieces are from Nine Crows - a vintage store in Dublin - and I got them back in 2019 and haven't had much opportunity to wear them due to the... panorama. So when I found the trousers at the back of my wardrobe, I knew I had to dig them out to spice up my life/mood, and it did! Nine Crows is definitely my favourite vintage store so have a look on their website for some absolute gems.

Ed and I set out for - yes, you guessed it - yet another walk to get an iced coffee, HOWEVER, on the way we discovered that one of our favourite local bar/restaurants in Smithfield was doing iced cocktails and slices of pizza - safe to say the iced coffee plan went out the window. If you're around the Smithfield area or it is in your 5km, check out Oscar's for 'ice and a slice' (iced cocktail & slice of pizza which is actually a whole 6 inch pizza to yourself) for €10! It's the little things at the moment, but it did make our afternoon.

We sat in the sunshine and devoured our pizza and sipped our cocktails as we continued our walk and he snapped some pics of my outfit as I got blinded by the sunshine (not complaining, would rather be blinded by the sun than by a hailstone in the eyeball). These lilac sunglasses are more aesthetic than functional, as you can imagine, but I do love them!

As for the rest of the outfit - the top is actually the top half of a loungewear set that I got for Christmas - it's from River Island which is not somewhere I ever shop, but the loungewear set I must say is comfy.

On my feet, these absolute beauties (still available at that link!) are ones I purchased a year ago and ended up not wearing because I didn't know what I could wear them with - et voila, I figured it out. I originally saw them on ASOS but got them at Size? on sale, this link is the only place where I can still find them online!

(had to add a pic of my extremely patient photographer and creative director. Rings visible here are Daisy Jewellery, Chupi & Missoma)

Hope you all got to enjoy the nice weather on your daily walks and that you are doing okay. I know we are all at our wits end at this point, but keep holding on, I'm here for you and sending the largest virtual squeezes you can imagine.

Thank you for reading as always,
