Shorts - DIY | Belt - Vintage | Tshirt - H&M | Necklace - New Look

I wore this to go to the pub for tea on Sunday night, except I wore tights - it is definitely not leg baring weather just yet!

A few exciting things going on in my life right now - I'm moving in with my boyfriend in a few weeks time! The flat is part furnished so we won't need to buy everything but I'm having so much fun picking out loads of homey bits. I can't wait to be all moved in and settled now. I know I'll always be skint though because I won't be able to resist buying loads of little bits for the flat!

Sleeveless Shirt DIY

Last Sunday I went shopping and fell completely in love with this sleeveless shirt from Topshop. Although £26 is perfectly reasonable for a shirt for some reason Topshop makes me incredibly stingy, so much of the stuff is overpriced that I always have to scuttle off down the road to Primark for a cheaper alternative. Unluckily Primark didn't really have a lot to offer, at least not until I spotted their sale section when I was on my way to the till. I never really think to check out the Primark sale - it's cheap enough already but a checked shirt caught by eye so I wandered over. Unluckily this shirt had sleeves but it was pretty much the same checked pattern as the Topshop one. I can deal with sleeves I thought, they can easily be removed. So I bought it, for only £3 how could I say no.

The Topshop version didn't have studs but I added them anyway as I can't seem to resist studding things at the moment.

I'll find you that French boy.

Vest -Primark | Crop Top (worn underneath), Necklace, Jacket - Miss Selfridge | Shorts - DIY

I wore this to go out for a meal with my friends tonight, one of them I haven't seen since Christmas so it was lovely to catch up. We went to Central Park in Middlesbrough, the food was gorgeous but the service was absolutely terrible. We waited for ages to have our order taken, and then to have our plates cleared when we'd finished, and then for our dessert order to be taken and then for the bill. Needless to say they didn't get a tip, I always feel dead stingy not giving one but it really was rubbish.

I DIY'd these shorts myself, they do make me look a bit pear shaped though. I like these better than the last pair I did cause these are more high waisted. I used triangular studs too instead of square ones which I think look much better - the pattern is more even although you can't see it from the photos. I wanted to go a bit more crazy with the studs but my fingers were starting to get really sore. I'll have to add more when they get better.

Just want to say hi to my new followers - I actually can't believe anyone wants to read my ramblings!
