The Outfit That Broke The Rules

Hey there and welcome to today's blog post.

The title of this post comes from the fact that I broke some fashion 'rules' with my outfit at the weekend.

1)If you are going to wear something that is drawing attention to one feature, then you should not draw attention to anything else.  Woops! High waisted shorts also accentuate a smaller waist along with obviously showing a bit of leg. The scandal of it all!

2)You should only do a strong lip OR a strong eye. I did both. And a generous contour. Come at me bro.

3)It's not a rule but I believe it was Coco Chanel who avised that a woman should remove one accessory before leaving the house. I added one in the form of my lace gloves.

Love this necklace. 

Very happy with how the makeup came out. I went so long without doing makeup that I get worried I'll have forgotten how to! I've also been growing out my eyebrows and I am so pleased with the results. Apparently it takes a full 6 months to properly grow them back out, I think I'm two months in by now so it will be interesting to see where they end up. 

I based the whole thing around combining these tights and shorts, I had a feeling that they would play off each other nicely.

What do you think of fashion rules? Are they made to be followed or made to broken? I think it depends on the situation really.

Until next time, thanks for reading and I hope you are having a lovely day!

80's inspired make-up, Doc Martens and Gym Equipment

Hello everyone!

Last weekend I was in the mood to try something different with my make-up and so I did an 80's inspired make-up look rather than sticking super closely to the actual style. I made the inner corners of my eyebrows more pointed and I took my silver eyeshadow up to meet my brows in the inner corners. The effect is subtle and easier to wear in the day-time but it is still very much visible.

My outfit was really simple, a zipped bodycon skirt, plain black tight 3/4 sleeve top, meshed tights and knee high doc martens along with my bat necklace. I pinned my hair down on one side too.

Soooo serious

Tis Autumn and tis cold and so I wore my leather jacket. This was 7 euro in a charity shop and its from Topshop so it was probably originally at least 50/60 euro so this is one of my better finds! It goes well with the overall style too I think. 

I dusted (literally) off my knee high doc martens too as I haven't worn them in aaages. They are very comfortable but lacing them up does get tedious! I usually only lace every 3rd or 4th hole in fact. 

A more recent purchase! These tights were 3euro in Penneys/Primark and they are gorgeous, quite thick and good quality. I'll obviously have to be careful not to catch them in anything but they are quite well made, not flimsy at all!

In other very exciting news, myself and my fiance's gym equipment finally arrived!! We are starting a personal training business and obviously needed the equipment before we could really begin. This is our set-up and it is everything we need to start helping people get stronger, healthier and happier! I am a fan of teaching classes and so will likely be doing that in community halls too. Very exciting weekend and exciting times ahead!

How do you like to spend your weekends? Do you like going out and doing lots of things or do you like your weekend to hide from the world and regroup in your own space? I like both depending on the weekend. Sometimes going out and getting things done is me doing 'me' time too.

Thanks for reading,
Rebecca!
