OOTD: Beside the Seaside

Hello loves,

A quick OOTD today, Last week I went to the seaside with my Family for my sisters birthday lunch.

It was warm & sunny but very windy hence the coat!

My Dress is from a Charity Shop for £1 but is originally from Topshop! Bargain of the day.

I have my Yellow Boyfriend coat on from Primark, It as around £22 I think.

I wore my JuJu Jellies with this outfit because they're just too cute! They were £25, *has heart attack* how did I pay that for jellies???

The Topshop dress was from the Petites range & was quite short on me so I put a belt with it. I also wore some tights because bbrrrr windy. 

I had my Primark £1 sunnies on and Finished it with my Fluffy Bag from Kylijane! 

That's all for now, sorry for the boring post I don't feel much like blogging at the moment.

OOTD | Welcome to SHOREBITCH

Before I begin this OOTD I'd like to say i'm 100% joking with the Title & Title Picture. hahaha

I met my girl Alana in Shoreditch for Cocktail hour yesterday & we passed this awesome wall so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be like a real blogger with an interesting OOTD background lool.

I kept It simple but cute because ALAS we were not out-out.

I'm wearing my Sisters 2004 915 New Look Jean Jacket (who knew she was such a fashionable 14 year old?) with a Floral Kimono Shirt underneath for a bit of snazz (£1.50 from Sue Ryder).

I opted for Skinny Jeans which are from Primark, These are my go to High Waisted Jeans and I'm on pair number 2! 

SOMEBODY CALL VOGUE.

The usual suspects here Accessory-wise, Black sunnies from Primark (£1) & My Trusty Topshop Satchel!

Simple flat shoes Complete the 'look' which funny story I wore to be comfortable & ended up with a cork board push pin through my shoe and in my foot! OUCH.

Here's some Pictures of the Cocktails at Chico Bandito. It was Happy Hour and Cocktails were £3.50 & Ofc it being a Mexican place we had to have nachos! MUCH RECOMMEND!

<3

I'm Carrie Bradshaw at LAST! Cosmopolitan.

Seeing the Nachos again is making me hungry... they were Spicy Beef Nachos too...mmmmm

This was a peach something or something... IDK it's Alcoholic and I LOVED IT.

OOTD | The Babydoll Shift Dress |

Hey Chums!

This week I've been so busy with my Swoon launch that I almost forgot about an OOTD! I'm a terrible person.

I had a little time spare to finally make myself a dress from some Orange Crepe I got from Brick Lane last year! It was only £1 a metre so how could I leave it behind?

I opted for a cute 1960's style GoGo dress, Originally intended to have a Peter Pan collars..but you know they're the bane of my life so I ditched that part! 

I wore my White Tights from Primark (£3) & White Dolly Shoes from ASOS (£10, Depop) & OFC My White Fluffy Bag from Kylijane! 

I'd also like to say excuse my fluffy mad woman hair, It never looks nice when it's too clean!! GRR.

Sunning it up lol

Hope you love this OOTD & I plan to start some sewing tutorials on my Youtube eventually, Starting with Altering trousers that are too big to fit you.

Also I wanted to say that today SWOON Launched & I've listed everything on DEPOP (Username:whoisjosiewho)

Everything is £10 and under because here on my blog it's Affordable Fashion ALWAYS! & If you order before Midnight tonight it's £1 postage!

Have a nice weekend!

❤ OOTD : Waterloo Sunset ❤

Hello!

Here's an outfit I wore out shopping with my Paps on Friday, It was so warm and I braved bare legs! 

I recently purchased my first Polo Neck top from Hidden Fashion for £5, I wouldn't normally spend so much on a plain top before but often their website sells out quickly & I wanted it! 

I wore my Polo Neck with this Swoon dress that I made last year! It's just a basic shift dress but it's so cute & probably one of y favourite things I've sewn!

The Top goes really nicely underneath & I felt super 60's.

I took my Kylijane Fluffy bag with me which doesn't often leave my side, This outfit needed some fluff! I love it loads it's so cute!

Also check out my epic hair flick!

I put on my ASOS Dolly Shoes with this because CUTE & My H&M Beige Blazer because although it was sunny there was a chilly wind! My bum was reeeeet cold! lol :-)

Hope you love this outfit as much as me!

OOTD | Pastel Basics |

Hey guys! Today's OOTD is really simple! I went Fabric Shopping in London and just wanted to be on trend but comfortable! I was ill yesterday so I've been feeling super gross!

I'm wearing my New H&M Jersey Dress, Found in a Charity Shop for £1 Brand New with Tags! It's a really nice peach colour, although it doesn't show well!

I wore my Topshop crop top under it (£9) which I got last year, I wish I had waited though because Primark brought in the same top for much cheaper recently!

Then on the bottom I've just got Tights (Primark) and My White Dolly shoes from ASOS! (£10 Depop)

Because of where I was going I used my Topshhop Backpack today, Found in Oxfam on Holloway for £6! LOVE.

I didn't catch a picture but with this I just wore a Cardigan and my Black leather Jacket with a Wooly scarf, It's a bit nippy out!

That's all for today, Hows your monday?

OOTD | The Vintage Flares |

Hey Lovelies! 

I'm back this Monday with a very on Trend OOTD for you! Unless you've been hiding under a rock you may have noticed that SS15 is HIGHLY influenced by the 1970's! 

I'm really loving this trend as it means I get to raid my mums wardrobe for all of her vintage accessories! 

I thought i'd focus on some Denim Flares today, they're everywhere from the catwalk to celebrities & I managed to bag myself this pair for only £1.50!

Yet another cracking charity shop find you'll agree, They were a Size 16 but using my whizzy seamstress skills they were a Size 6 in ten minutes!

Don't be dismayed to leave something behind because it's not your size, alterations can easily be made!

Paired with my flares, I put on my Striped top from H&M. I love this top it's a staple, I love anything with stripes on! 

I've also Popped on some black platforms from Primark too, for a bit of height as I'm a mini person! 

I'm wearing my Mum's Vintage Faux Snakeskin belt from Biba. (Swoooooooon)

I love this belt i've been nicking it since I was 13 haha!

My wide-brimmed Trilby hat is from Topshop! I'm lucky that my Sister let me have this one.. It's wonderful and I would never of been able to afford it! Anyone else love Topshop but won't buy anything unless it's in the sale? haha!

Hat closeup! Also new Fringe-ness! I love it, I've had two people tell me I look like Suki Waterhouse! SUCH COMPLIMENT. 

That's all for today! What bargains have you picked up from Charity Shopping that's on trend this season?

OOTD | Sundaze |

Hey guys! This weeks OOTD is coming on a Tuesday, Apologies! Ricardo took me to London yesterday and it was a lovely surprise day out!

Today It was really sunny outside so I decided to style a few Charity shop bargains I've purchased recently In a 1969/1970 Style OOTD.

I've really been getting into my Charity shopping recently with it being a new Season for Fashion Trends and all. Even my dad comes along with me now when he sees all of the bargains I'm bringing home!

I picked up this gorgeous lace shirt from St.Francis' Hospice for only £2.50 and it's so lovely! I'm wearing it unbuttoned here but buttoned up it makes a fabulous tunic style shirt, the lace is daisy shaped and very 1960s!

My Straw bag was only £1 from Sue Ryder, I found it in a big pile of bags and I have the biggest weakness for Straw bags I couldn't leave it behind.

Ok. Let's talk about my Suede Skirt. 

I actually made it! As you may or may not know I LOVE to sew and I've been testing a few patterns out for this seasons styles. I tried out a mini skirt in this Faux Suede material and ITS AWESOME.

I teamed it with this thick Black Belt from Primark, a Hand me down from my sister! I love the thick cut look it gives and It's a very 70's thing. If you're ever in doubt about the new 1970's fashion trends, Remember - Flares. Suede. Belts. Tassels. 

I'll be making some Suede Skirts as well as other Fabulous Vintage Style bits to sell for release in May so watch this space & Follow me on instagram for updates! 

My sunglasses are from Forever 21, I purchased them when I used to work there and they cost me about £6 which is the most I've ever paid for sunglasses! THE HORROR. But I love them they're very Nicole Richie - esque. 

I threw on a Black crop top from H&M (£1.99) and Black Tights and Pumps from Primark (£2.99 & £4.00).

I thought I'd include my eye make-up as it matched my Outfit haha! I had Collection's Felt Tip Black Eyeliner and a Collection Copper Glitter Eyeliner in the inner corners, TRES CHIC.

I plaited the sides of my hair and brought them together at the back, Curling the ends of my hair and pinning it.

You get a nice close up of the Lace Shirt here and it's JUST LOVELY.

That's all for today, I'd like to thank you for coping with my poor quality photos and I'm so excited to say I'll be buying a Brand new proper camera come payday! All of my Blog Posts will be HD-ified. YAY.

Whats the best charity shop purchase you've made recently! I'd really love to know so don't be shy in tweeting/commenting to tell me!
