Sooo here we are, 2nd lockdown wooo hooo (not!) How’s everyone doing? I know it can be a struggle and hard to stay motivated but we just have to keep going and make the best out of the situation. After all there’s not much we can do so why not use this time wisely and do things that you might not have time to do on your normal schedule, could be a workout, reading, catching up on your fave series, learning to cook/bake something new or anything that makes you happy :) Also don’t be hard on yourself, sometimes we put pressure on ourselves if we haven’t had a productive day but that’s ok sometimes being a cabbage is cool lol. I might do a post on what I’ve been doing to get through my days in lockdown, so stay tuned for that. One thing I really wanted to put more time into was my blog as I’ve been slacking lately and this is the perfect opportunity for that. Also I always have fun creating looks and playing dress up, even if it is to sit in my room taking pics at least it passes the time haha.
I wanted to do a post on these boots my gorge bestie Zara got me from Asos, you might have seen them everywhere on Insta and I’m obsessed! I know they’re not everyones cup of tea but if you love a chunky boot (which is so in at the moment) then you need these in your life! They’re so edgy and grungy and are definitely a statement piece. Also I love how the boots come quite high up the leg because sometimes wearing ankle boots with a t-shirt dress or shorts can look a bit odd depending on the style. I wanted to create easy looks that you can pair with these boots and I thought a t-shirt dress would be perfect for that. A t-shirt dress is perfect for when you want to make minimal effort but still look cute and I know some t-shirts can come up a bit short but that’s wear the trustee cycling shorts come into play because nobody wants their cheeks making an appearance. Also I know it’s a tad cold to be having our legs out, howeveeerrr you can just layer up because who wants to sacrifce wearing a cute outfit just because you might get a bit of frost bite lol (I mean probs me sometimes because I hate the cold but anywhooooo moving on.)
I’m going to break down the looks below and let you know where I got everything…
I think this is my fave look out of the 4! I got this blazer a few months back from NastyGal and I love it, the colour is lovely (anyone else gravitating towards this minty sage colour?) It’s been sitting in my wardrobe waiting to be worn and I finally took it out to wear on a day out to my bedroom lol. Don’t you love when you throw on a blazer or some sort of jacket it just transforms an outfit and makes it look like you actually made an effort. The tie dye t-shirt I’m wearing is actually one of my own from my DANmade collection, if you didn’t know I make tie-dye / bleached goodies that you can check out on my Instagram @danmade_x. The sage blazer is out of stock but they still have it in black which is perfect because goes with everything.
So if you haven’t checked out Love Lusso’s Icons graphic tees then you need to! They are all handmade and designed by the lovely talented Loredana. She also has new jogger and sweatshirt sets that are perfect for autumn/winter. You can dm her on Instagram @love.lusso or you can also purchase on Silkfred. I paired this tee with a denim jacket I got from Primark and this mini bag from Pretty Little Thing.

I know this is a very bold colour and a lot of you might not be a fan, however if you’re up for wearing something loud then this one is for you. I got this oversized tee from NastyGal and I don’t know why but I was drawn to the colour and had to try it. Surprisingly I quite like it considering I don’t wear a lot of colour, I feel like this would be a great festival look so maybe we can save this one for next year (hopefully!) I’m never afraid to try something new when it comes to fashion its all part of the fun of it. I only added a few accessories to this look because I felt like the t-shirt is bright enough and didn't need much added to it.

Another one of my DANmade tees and this one is a popular style and one of my faves. I’m sure there are a lot of you out there who loves wearing an all black outfit am I right? I know I do but sometimes I want to have some colour but nothing too bright and this bleached tee is perfect for that. I paired it with cycling shorts and a cap which I haven’t worn a cap in the longest time! It’s an easy and relaxed outfit which doesn't need a lot of thought, you could even throw on a pair of joggers and you’ll have yourself the perfect lockdown outfit.
So which one is your fave look out of the 4?
