Gosh I feel like this is definitely one of those ~"courtesy of"~ blog posts which I personally really dislike. I'm all for a bit of product placement within the blogging industry, I get why it happens and how it benefits brands and bloggers. But If I'm honest, I personally really don't really enjoy blogs where almost every item is gifted. I feel it takes away from the personal element a tiny bit and I can't put my finger on why it rubs me the wrong way so much. Even from a blogger point of view who regularly gets offered stuff I find it tedious seeing it, so I have no idea how it looks to people who just read blogs. Mini ranty blogger rant over. The outfit.
I kept it simple with a huuuugeeeee massssiiiiveee overrrriszedd tee from ASOS, my ol' faithful american Apparel leggings and a recent addition to my wardrobe this pleather and denim jacket from Misguided. The ever so lovely Sara said I could pick a few items to style and this was one of them I knew I just had to get my grubby hands on. I think the mixture of denim and pleather sits really well together and gives it a bit of an edge to a pretty boring outfit! Also pulled out my River Island Flatforms today, I haven't worn them in a while in favour of my beloved Alvin's but I forgot how nice they look on. I think they really flatter my figure and my legs!
Thought I'd include the video I filmed earlier as well as it's the same outfit so you can kinda see it moving a bit! I added the necklace later as it felt a bit plain without it!
omg , love the jacket! you look super gorgeous as usual x

This is why I like your blog Lily, it's not a crime to receive items but it just bothers me when people only blog about that and do sponsored reviews, it feels like they are shoving it in my face way too much. But here's you even feeling bad about it, and I think you shouldn't feel like that. You tell us your honest opinion and it doesn't feel like your're doing the post FOR this purpose only but it feels like the items are just a bonus (and not the other way around). Hope I'm making sense here :D
ReplyDeleteI love the outfit! The jacket makes it look so nice :)

I really don't mind it when bloggers include items they've received for free, it only bothers me when it's obviously not their style. It must be amazing to get free clothes, don't feel bad about it! xx

LOVE this jacket, it looks so much better in real life! The fit looked strange on the model but now I may need it! xx
ReplyDeleteI'd never have thought to team those leggings with flatforms but it looks absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the denim/leather jacket too. As I only ever seem to wear either my denim of leather jacket, I think I should buy this for the days when I can decide between the two!

Really cool outfit! i love reading your blog, compliments and keep going!
ReplyDeleteX elysotera.blogspot.it
to be honest (and this coming from someone who's never received anything "courtesy of...") i don't really mind when bloggers showcase many gifted itmes in their blog :) because i still think that they incorporate the things into thier style, and you are a great example for that! everything you wear looks so much "you", i think you just make it yours by styling and combining it your way :) so don't worry, i for one don't mind seeing these kind of posts!
ReplyDeleteand btw, it's either the shoes that flatter you or you've lost quite some weight, but you look so fit here, as in trained :)(not meant in a rude way or anything!)you go to the gym,right?..ugh i should really do more sports xx
Love that jacket!
