Outfit post #19





Hello Lovelies,

It's been a long time since I updated the blog - I'm terrible! The first thing I promised myself once I had finished uni was to make sure I used my spare time to blog more and I haven't kept it so far, oopsy! Oh well, there's still time to turn that around. So, this update is, of course, an outfit post. 

As most people will know, I am obsessed with ASOS and most of the items of clothing I tend to purchase recently are all from ASOS. It's simply one of the best online retailers ever to grace the fashion world (my own opinion, of course) So, when I received their magazine through the post I was so excited, especially, seen as it meant I could start planning my A/W wardrobe early - pretty sad I know.

As I was scanning through I came across this outfit and absolutely fell in love and knew I had to use it as inspiration and try to re-create it myself. 
Luckily, I had practically everything I needed. The boyfriend jeans, polo neck top, and headscarf but added some obvious/usual 'Hope' twists like red lipstick and heels.

It was SO comfortable and is definitely something I will be wearing again once the weather starts getting colder and little more miserable. I haven't wore a polo neck top in forever, and it felt so amazing to wear one! They're actually pretty chic and give a plain outfit a bit of a twist but still keeping it casual, but not as casual as a tee-shirt. 


(Polo neck - Primark, Jeans - Zara, Headscarf - Primark and Shoes - Office)

I love how this outfit, although quite plain, can be given a twist by adding different kinds of headscarfs and different lipstick colours depending on what look you're going for. I was trying to challenge a more vintage look by adding a splash of tan/red but I will definitely be using an orange or maybe a purple next time.


I cannot wait for ASOS to start introducing their A/W items on their website so I can start making some purchases! I already have four dresses waiting for me in my saved for later basket - hurry up payday!

Seen any outfit inspiration recently?
Hopeful
