jacket: F&F @ Tesco
tunic: H&M
necklaces: forever 21
I was given a voucher from Clothing at Tesco after going to their press day a few weeks ago, A 25% off promotion came up and I knew it was the right time to use it, extra discount! And we all know I love my discount codes! I decided on this jacket because I thought it would be cool for the beach, however when it came I knew it looked good for day wear too. It only cost like £10.50 in the end which personally (even though I didn't pay for it, but would have if I didn't have a voucher!) think is a complete bargain. Its the kind of thing Topshop would charge like £45 for!
The review "Not quite what I expected, more suitable to an older person" made me laugh, It is quite "old person" but in a hipster kind of way! I always find clothing reviews on websites funny, mainly because I think fashion is really subjective, like one persons trash is another persons treasure. I see alot of clothing companies are introducing the "review" thing on their websites and I just dont get it, When it comes to quality and stuff like that fair enough having a bit of a review, but most of the time when I read them they are about the style of the item, how the colour looked funny on them or how a item didn't suit that person. I guess I find it a bit defunct because we aren't all the same, sometimes things don't suit me but look fab on someone else. So I don't REALLY get the usefulness of a "review" of a clothing item!
PS. I am wearing hotpants under the tunic, you just cant see them, no indecent exposure for me, before you comment on how truly scandalous I am!
PPS. God my hair looks ridiculously orange here, I can assure its not. Cannot wait to get rid of the Ombre!
Love that your nails match your ring! Super cute.

I totally agree with you on the review section that clothing stores are bringing in online, I just thought 'how random' when I first saw it and ignored... I'll judge from the picture whether or not I'm interested in buying!

ReplyDeleteGood old tesco :) x
ReplyDeleteI love shopping in Tesco, my mum waits 'til they do the double up on clubcard points thingy then we get loads of stuff for free. Hah! Most people I know don't shop in Tesco and are really surprised at how nice some of their stuff is, this is a prime example! x

You're right about topshop charging £40 for something like that, it does look similar to something they'd sell so deffo a bargain there. Nice paired with all black too, I see some ladies wearing leopard print head to toe in town sometimes and it really puts me off it but in small doses it can be fantastic. Yeah the review thing is'nt for me either, they don't benefit me at all really.
ReplyDeleteme encantan los collares de las cruces de forever21!
ReplyDeletepasate por mi blog!

You outift looks great, as per usual,but I feel like I have to comment on the nail colour. It's so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda over leopard, after using it and busing it during my "scene" years, but you do it nicely, it's not as obnoxious giving how understated the rest of the outfit is. And why in hell is looking like a bad person a bad thing? My grandma has some of the most amazing clothes I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteLove this!Your so right about reviewing!p.s I need your cross necklace!
ReplyDeleteIf i saw that cardigan in Tesco's, i wouldn't even look at it but seeing it on, it is so pretty! I love what you're wearing with it. Your accessories are really nice too. But ah, nooo your ombre is beautiful haha, don't get rid of it! x
ReplyDeleteI can't see anything bad about your hair- it's beautiful. :) I love the leopard cardi, it's great. :)

I like your hair, actually. Is that wrong? Haha. I'm also a fan of the print.
ReplyDeleteAs if they've started reviewing clothes now. Sure it would be useful if we all looked the same but the fact is we don't. And you've completely subverted these bad reviews, by making that jacket look so stylish. It's all about what you combine things with and you've definitely pulled it off!
ReplyDeletexxx
That review is pretty amusing. I think you look beautiful in the leopard print. And your hair looks great, but I also can't wait to see what you desire to do with it next!

much love.
I love the outfit, simple but effective, the rings are lovely too, i may have to invest in some come payday!
ReplyDeleteStacey xx
Really like the jacket! And the jewellery xx
ReplyDeleteI love that cross necklace! I just made myself one similar to that :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about fashion being subjective too - no one really has the right to judge!

ReplyDeletewww.lamaepa.blogspot.com
You're right, that's such a Topshop item, it's fab! xo
ReplyDeleteTesco are like Matalan, they've seemingly snuck out of nowhere to grab a slice of the action.
ReplyDeleteI love that jacket! And you are right Toppers would have totally charged a heap more for it.
Looks great with simple black styling.
xx
I used to work at Tesco and never would've guessed that this was one of theirs, I love it! Loads of brands seem to be upping their game lately, Topshop, beware!
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous bargain!
ReplyDeleteyou nails look super nice!

The jacket looks great, would never have thought it was from Tesco! x
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice jacket, it really suits you!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't understand clothes reviews, for electrical products etc, fine, fair enough, but clothes? Not so much, it's completely based on personal opinion! xx
Jacket looks amazing on u!I agree with the clothes review. I don't get it.

i really love ur eyes *_*
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit, i'd deffo wear that myself :) I have issues photographing my ombre hair too, but yours looks ace from where i am haha! x x
ReplyDeleteI love how it all combained together, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteAnd about the review, I totally agree with you on this one. Reviews are usually followed by trend, but I think peopole should realize not all the peopole love to follow trend. Some peopole just go with what they feel.
xx
I know what you mean about the reviews on websites, though I think they can be quite useful; they've often made me think twice about buying something!
ReplyDeleteYour hair has got sooo light! I think it looks fine though, especially as we're in summer. Not sure what summer yet, but if the sun ever does show, your hair will look great!
ReplyDeleteLove these chunky necklaces! Forever 21 do some great jewellery. I may have to invest in some more when I'm next in brum. x
I dont know what it is but I am a sucker for anything with a nice leopard print, so I envy this piece hahaha
ReplyDeletex funkydoris.blogspot.com
Love the look. Also do you not like the ombré? I'm getting it done on Friday, so excited. Love Ella xx
ReplyDeleteWhat are you going to have your hair like then?? Do you still want blonde hair? I love having my hair done. I agree with what everyone else is saying, leopard really suits you and doesnt look cheap when styled suitably. x
ReplyDeletelovely nail color!
ReplyDeletedid you decide whether you wanted to go back to brown or blonde? either way, it'll look lovely!
great post!
I absolutely adore the rings, they're amazing!
