Outfit Post // Slogan Slouchy

Where has all the lovely weather gone?! The sun came and went far too quickly, and I didn't even get chance to take any outfit photos while the weather was nice! :( So I guess I'll just have to make do with these rather windswept ones for now, and judging by the weather forecast I may well need to get used to my hair blowing left right and centre for the next few weeks, get me on my summer holidays haha!

Today's outfit is quick and casual, something that's perfect for throwing on when you're having a rushed kind of day. I featured this River Island slogan tee in one of my wishlist posts a few months ago (which you can read here). My amazing boyfriend, who's one of my blogs biggest fans bless him, read the post and bought me the t-shirt for my birthday! I really love it, it's a baggy fit, and is so comfy, which is a great excuse to eat donuts when I'm wearing it, right?  Plus, I'm obsessed with all the different slogan tees around at the moment, there's so many super cool ones that you can wear in so many different ways. They are a definite wardrobe staple, and plus, when you've got your wear out of them, they are perfect for adding to the pyjama drawer! 

It goes perfectly with these Primark acid-wash jeggings that I bought a good few years ago, and somehow still (just about) fit into. I also chucked on these converse style pumps that I bought from next- again I've owned these longer than I should probably admit to! To smarten the whole look up I wore my leather jacket and black clutch bag, but to be completely honest I can't see a leather ruck-sack like this Topshop lovely looking out of place at all, casual all the way!!

Are you loving slogan tees? What is your go-to casual look?...x

Outfit Post // Interview Style

For today's outfit post I wanted to give you all a bit of a glimpse into the style I opted for last week. It's been a busy couple of weeks for me, I finished my job as an apprentice Marketing and PR trainee, and as I'm heading to Uni to study Marketing + PR in September, I was on the hunt for a job that would A) pay well (apprentice wages aren't the best) and B) would be nice and flexible for when I get to Uni, and move out! I applied for a huge range of different jobs, and I really do believe that when you're either handing your CV in, or are lucky enough to get an interview, first impressions make a huge difference, so being well groomed and smart is a must- I actually plucked my eyebrows for the first time in months haha. Also, please excuse my multi-coloured hair, it's in desperate need of colouring!

Dress // New Look     Necklace // Next     Bag // Accessorize     Shoes // New Look 

For my interview, as it was a very warm day, I decided not to wear a jacket, and instead just went for this printed New Look dress by itself. It's a black and white floral print, which means it's stylish whilst still being smart, and while it is fitted at the waist, there's not too much skin on show. As it was so warm I spent ages deliberating whether to wear tights or not, but I eventually decided that they were probably a good idea- my legs just aren't tanned enough to get out yet- and I daren't risk fake tanning the day before my interview just in case of an orange disaster haha!

I also added this lovely black statement necklace that I bought in the Next Sale last year. It may be a statement necklace, but I think it was understated and not too 'in your face', which was in keeping with the look I went for. I also used my gorgeous Accessorize bag (for the first time ever!)- I was bought it for Christmas, but it's just too posh to use a lot, so I keep it for special occasions, and I felt like an interview was definitely where it belonged!

I also used up these false nails that I bought off eBay about two years ago, I completely forgot I had them, but as I was hunting through my nail polish box they were hidden away at the bottom, and couldn't have gone more perfect with my outfit! 

I think when heading to job interviews it's so important to show that you can dress smartly- as generally that shows you know how to be professional, which is what most employers are after. Also, make sure that your friendly, with lots of eye contact, and be confident in yourself and what you're wearing! 

By the way guys, I got the job!! :) What do you think is the best way to dress at an interview? Do you have any top tips to follow?...x
