Frankly Fashion: A Week In The Life Of My Wardrobe

Hello!

One question I will forever struggle with is "How would you describe your style?". I ramble a whole list of things from my love of monochrome to taking inspiration from pop culture but when it comes down to it, I really don't know how I would describe my style. 

I've always been someone who likes to try new things fashion wise. I get bored and restless easy, plus the ex-actor (lol) in me loves the idea of dressing up. Not exactly being someone else but having fun and taking on a role or a theme. 

I started off this week by pestering people around me to take outfit photos, come Wednesday I had a plan in mind. Why not take a photo every day at work then write up a little a "A Glimpse Into The Life Of Emily's Weekday Fashion Choices" (hopefully I've not used that as the actual title of this blog, apologies if I have. It's awful.) 

All my jobs, bar one, in the past have made me wear a uniform. Once I started working at my current job, I was a little lost. I had to dress myself every day. Of course you know I had to "dress myself" before but this time I had blank canvas so to speak.

Luckily my office is fairly casual so I don't need to dress up smart so I have full reign over my ridiculous fashion choices. So join me as we take a journey through my weekday wardrobe:

Monday

Cardigan - Vintage

Dress - ASOS

Hat - Vintage 

Boots - New Look 

Bonjour je m'appelle Emily. Yes, friends this outfit ended up being rather Parisian inspired. I guess that is what a beret does to you. Isn't stereotyping fun boys and girls? 

Now, everyone thinks all I do is wear black, white or grey but look colours. Pretty bright colours. I'm not always a big moody goth. 

Tuesday

Dress - H&M

Belt - I've no idea 

Necklace - Forever 21 

Glasses - Vintage 

Boots - New Look 

I very rarely wear anything that can be described as 'body con'. As much as I am learning to love and embrace my body, I am still really self-conscious in anything tight, which is a shame cause I have a damn good arse really. 

However, come Tuesday I decided to be brave and pull out this delightful polka dot number!

Wednesday 

Top - Urban Outfitters

Cardigan - No idea, soz

Skirt - H&M 

Boots - Everything 5 Pounds

Tights - Primark 

Necklace - Forever 21 

When did fishnets come back in fashion? Were they ever out of fashion? Either way, I am so happy they are back. Even if my cold legs did not feel the same. 

I am a sucker for grungy look, I guess you could say that is a style of mine. It is one I do sway towards a lot these days. 

Thursday 

Hat - H&M

Dress - Primark

Jacket - Primark

Trainers - Primark, again...

Necklace - you know... 

Choker - Claire's Accessories 

As you can see I make very sensible and adult choices when it comes to work wear. I am there to mean business so obviously I have to wear a Micky Mouse baseball cap. It just screams professional. 

Top tip - if you want to actually eat and not look like you have smeared melted liquorice on your face, don't wear black lipstick all day. It is messy and a pain in the arse, even if you look ~cool~ and ~edgy~. 

Friday 

Dress - BooHoo

Tights - Primark

Cape - Mango 

Harness - Ultimo 

The end of my work week is here and of course that means wear Batman tights and a harness. This BooHoo skater dress has been a good friend to me. Whenever I am having a wardrobe based meltdown, there it is, waiting on me. 

These tights are quite possibly my new favourites. Anything Batman related is always going to go down a treat with me. They are fairly subtle so it is like embracing my geeky ways but in a kinda of professional grown up manner..... oh, how am I kidding...

So how can I describe my style? I guess you could say it is somewhat 'quirky' (shudder at that word) with a dash of grunge and goth but really I will forever just love mixing looks up and having fun with fashion!

Till the next time!
