OOARD (Outfit Of A Random Day): My £1.50 Outfit X YouTube

I'll keep it simple, this is the cheapest outfit I have worn so far I think! Obviously apart from my shoes and accessories, my outfit from head to toe was an absolute bargain!
If you follow me on Instagram (@mariapigeon), you've probably seen this outfit before but it's only right to do a full post on it like I had promised.

Anyhoo, here's a super fast YouTube video of my outfit, even though I rarely post up videos...Make sure you watch it in HD!

Hope you liked it (:

T-shirt- Primark/Thrifted, Jeans- Topshop/Thrifted, Sunglasses- Primark, Trainers- Nike Hyperfuse

Erm yeah, I told you I've been wearing a lot of black...
Its not my fault.

Wah.

Almost Summertime

I must admit the weather has been quite sexy so far so in London we MIGHT actually have a real summer *gasp*. I was brave enough to get my legs out which I haven't done for some time, annddd I managed to rob my older sister of her vintage Moschino necklace so I was a happy bunny (':

Recently I've been wearing an awful lot of black (I'm actually wearing all black as I type this lool), and although summer is suppose to be about being vibrant, and wearing all of these tropical rainbow pearl drop yummy colours, I simply: cannot be bothered.

Also, I purchased a pair of Nike Cortez trainers. I've actually wanted them for sooooo long but I just never knew the proper name so I couldn't find them anywhere, but now HELLO! I was so excited to find them I actually bought 3 pairs in one go (baby blue and red ones as well) so I'm sure they'll make guess appearances pretty soon. They're so comfortable and I like to call them 'polite trainers' because you can easily wear them with shorts, jeans, sweat/slouch pants and even dress or skirts. Let me hear yo say convenient! Overly temptped to buy every colour in stock so I will try my best to resist and enjoy the ones I have now.

Backless Top- Primark, Denim Shorts- Thrifted/DIY, Necklace- Vintage Moschino, Sunglasses- Ebay

Forgot to mention, I actually bought these trainers from America, but I know you can get similar ones in Size, Schuh, Nike or similar sports shops.

Oh, my lipstick is Mac- Rubywoo (Matte) in case you were wondering.
But yeah, that's all.

Beep.

Selling My Sheeno!

So yeah, a really long time ago I said I got a Moschino belt as a gift but it was too big, so I thought I'd be smart and ask some my extended family to buy me a new belt (and I'd give them the money blah blah blah) guess what happened...THE SAME THING! It was just the tiniest bit too big for me but by my hips it was perfect. Its annoying because I know I'm more likely to wear it with anything high-waist so it's just a waste to be honest. (See what I did there? *smirks*) Because I don't like leaving things around my house to collect dust I might as well sell it, just to get it out of my hair.

Last time I went through eBay it all became quite complex so I'm going to sell it though my blog sort of and PayPal to make everyone's life a bit easier. I'm also happier because the viewers/followers of my blog get the first peak. Unfortunately I only have one available so its literally 'first come, first serve'. All the best!

Size: M/L Currently going for £130

Gonna miss this, again.

WAH!

Penny Picking

I cant even lie my sudden disappearing acts are quite rude but I literally have no one to take pictures of me and doing it myself is actually pain in the neck )': I promise you I will get better *crawls on hands and knees*

Soooooooooooo, I hate shopping.
Yeah, I really do. B U T-

Ive been browsing around, picked up a few things here and there and been a little spoilt, just thought I'd share it with you but I don't want to think I'm boasting because I'm really not its more of a showcase; so this is a haul right? Erm, yeah I think so.
- There's a bit more to come later on, but that's a whole new post.

Well firstly, I got a very late birthday present which was a £25 River Island gift voucher that just sat around in my room because I didn't know what to buy. To be fair I wasn't really a fan of jelly shoes considering I had a pair when I was younger and fell down the stairs in them so they just brought back bad memories. However, in time and seeing them around the love got stronger and eventually they grew on me so I gave in and adopted some!
Oh, my shoes didn't look like this when I bought them; they were SO painful I had to cut off some of the straps and probably will cut off a few more because it literally felt like someone was biting my feet with every step I took (maybe that's just me) but yeah, still love them though.

Secondly, look at this beauty! I saw someone with it and I literally ordered it the next day, the cutest iPhone case ever! Pssh since I'm not getting an upgrade any time soon I may as well enjoy what I have. Anyhoo, I got this bad boy from eBay for a sexy bargain seeing as though some of them are selling at Selfridges for about £40- No thanks.
Have a look for yourself and they might tickle your fancy, they don't just have cute bunnies there's practically a whole Marc Jacobs farm (:

Can we please have a moment of silence?

*Hyperventilates*

If you guys didn't know neon green/yellow are one of my favourite colours and Airmax 90's are my favourite Nike trainers so a double whammy like this could potentially induce a cardiac arrest!! When it comes to footwear I definitely get spoilt in some cases, so I try to appreciate everything I do have as well as what is given to me. Not entirely sure on the correct name for these sex bombs so you might have to do a little treasure hunt, I just cant believe my eyes.

Might need to keep NHS on speed dial.
Its not that deep,
But it is.

Candy Canes & Metal Chains

I've been gone for some time and its kinda rude but you have to forgive me, my life has been on the line due to uni, if only you guys know what I'm dealing with *sigh*.
- Moving on swiftly;

Something short and sweet, just wanted to let you guys know that in addition to my rings, my wrist has now taken the stage (I can feel a slight obsession approaching which is really bad). I always say that you can put almost anything together and get away with it if you're confident in it. So what my arm is slowly going to be covered in metal nad eventualy you might think im morphing into a power ranger but I don't really think I mind LOOL!

Do as you please, its not that deep.

Bearing in mind this is only one of my hands, you can see me from a mile away! #Showstopper
I lied, I lied.

Seriously, I lied.

Panther

Just a casual Sunday and I'm chilling like a villain. I swear mother nature is just a tease summer is literally around the corner but word on the street says we're going to to have a heat wave in May- *Harlem Shakes (the original way)* On that note, Primark are really upping their game when it comes to their tops, had a bit of a shopping spree the other day and I have to say I was very impressed. I love how some of their clothes are 'not to obvious' so when its styled with anything else it still looks fabulous. So yeah, go check fo' yo'self playa!

(Croptop Worn Underneath- Primark, Oversized Shirt- Primark, High Waist Trousers- Topshop, Trainers- Nike Air Max 1, Belt- Vintage)

Yeah I know its really late and you guys have probably already noticed, but erm, yeah I 'ombred' my hair...again.

Just something short and sweet fellas.

Lucky Sod

So for no apparent reason I decided to go to the my local charity shop just 'because'. It was looking a bit boring until I walked over to the mens section, to my surprise I saw a pair of shoes wink at me. It quickly escalated into provocative gestures so as I walked over towards them, they jumped right off the shelf and into my arms...as you guys already know I'm far to kind to neglect a pair of shoes that could potentially have a good home so today 'I was a good Samaritan'.

YAY ME!

I actually can't believe how lucky I am (well I kind of can because miraculously I always find these good things but you know) its just a shock really to know that there was a company out there who created such sexy brogues in my size, its unreal.

Don't mind me, just casually laying down on my little sister's bedroom floor taking pictures of my feet; it's normal. (Yes, I was flat on my back. How sad am I?)

This will without a doubt be added to my uniform, I can't stop staring at them. *Melts*

- Oh yeah, they were £5.

KA-CHING!

Wind Machine

I just have to state here, I was freezing my arse off, but I refused to not wear this outfit. I don't often wear dresses but once in a while I like to get it out. This time around I paired it with the cardigan that I stole from my sister; this vintage beauty wasn't getting away from me that easily.
Its kinda weird for me to be 'girly' as you guys are well aware of my uniform but hey hoe change isn't always a bad thing. Hope you guys like it too! ^__^

(Dress- New Look/DIY, Cardigan- Vintage, Shoes- Zara)

Erm yeah *runs away*
Mmhhmm.

Hide & Seek

You know in the last post when I said I was procrastinating with my work and I shouldn't have...Well I shouldn't have! I paid for that with BLOOD, like oh gosh that's why I went away for so long catching up and trying to get on top of stuff. Had to get my priorities in order *sigh*. So apologies that I literally disappeared at random, kinda needed a break too, but thank you so much for all those who messaged me and checked up on my absence, you guys made me feel so special hahaha (:

- Hope you missed me, a lot.

Well now, I'm back. In a way, well I'll be making guest appearances here and there until uni work load calms down and the mother nature behaves herself so I can go outside without freezing to death. Anyhoo, as you know by now I love the simple stuff when it comes to outfits; can never go wrong with a 50p T-shirt, jeans and vans its been my uniform for some time and I'm no where near ready to change that. Once you find that 'comfort combination' you're set for life believe me.

(T-Shirt- Thrifted, Jeans- Topshop, Vans- Office, Sunglasses- Primark)

It almost feels foreign, but its good to be 'home',

Oink.

Chromin' & Clashin'

To be perfectly honest with you, I'm only really posting so much because I am procrastinating with my uni work and I REALLY shouldn't I just don't want to lounge around all day so at least with this I have a sort of excuse. Yeah, just wanted to throw it out there.

Moving on swiftly, recently looking at trends; Monochrome seems to be in at the moment, and although I don't really follow them, Ive always loved the combination of black and white and have indulged in it for some time. Knowing myself and still wanting to stand out I not only wanted to 'chrome' a whole outfit, but I wanted to explore print so whats better to use than Z E B R A! Can't go wrong with it. Alongside a sexy striped shirt I got from my local charity shop, the two statement pieces actually clash and compliment each other at the same time. Its Crazy, Sexy, Cool. Ha!

Now time for the clashin!
Forgot to mention that everything I'm wearing on the bottom half was made by me a while ago when I was bored out of my whitts, but like I always say I don't really like to wear skirts so lets just see what the summer hold for me and my legs. *Smirks*

As well as wearing all black and white, I was just experimenting with other prints/fabrics which surprisingly look just as good, all I know that if you really want to pull something off you can- 'Confidence Is Key'.
