Thrift Inspiration, Pirate Style

My gorgeous blogger friends are a constant source of style inspiration-the lovely Pearl over at Fashion Pearls of Wisdom did a great post on Vivienne Westwood pirate boots on Monday, which I was so pleased to see, as on Saturday I purchased these ankle pirate style boots from budget shoe shop Priceless-half price from £20 to £10.

Obviously not in the league of Viviennes, but more in my price league and still a stylish low budget alternative!! I'm sure I'll be wearing these a lot this Autumn.

Who or what is inspiring you this Season?

Casual in Camel

The Gap chinos are proving quite a versatile piece in my wardrobe so far and my next outfit with them consisted of a new white tee from Matalan for only £4-thinking I may invest in another white one and a black one too, they will be great for winter and layering.

My other bargain was this Marks & Spencer cable knit wool waistcoat which I got for 50p a couple of weeks ago at the boot sale-a perfect camel cover up. I'm wearing my leather croc skinny belt and my sandal wedges, which all complete the camel and tan ensemble!!

Has got me out of denim for a while though!!

My take on Casual-In Chinos

I so admire Jane Birkins casual style, she looks effortlessly chic whatever she wears and is a great source of inspiration when wanting to get that perfect casual look:

I'm really not a chinos girl, I adore denim and jeans and have a good collection of denim skirts, denim jackets and jeans. But an abundance of blue can get boring.

I was really chuffed to find these Gap chinos, which are from this summer season-a bargain at £4.55 in my local Heart Foundation charity shop. So, what to wear with them?

I decided to pair it with my M&S grey cashmere cardigan, which I adore-it has little glass buttons and is so cosy and stylish. Underneath I've a grey cami top.

Footwear isn't Converses or plimsoles, I'm wearing my newly acquired leopardprint satin ballet pumps, which have a gorgeous faux diamante detail on them. They were new from Matalan for only £12-see them online here!!

How are you doing casual this season?

Thrift Inspiration, Chloe Style

Well the other big trend for the upcoming season is Camel and Tan. I do love this look, but more on others than myself. Chloe certainly have some very inspirational looks for the Winter season:

I won't be buying anything additional this season for this trend as I'll wear my thrifted poncho from last winter, from the Cancer Research charity shop, £2.49. I'll pair it with my tan croc skinny belt, black wool leggings and tan leather boots.

Will you be in camel or tan this coming season?

Finale-Faux Fur Fest

Well my 2nd M&S faux fur bolero arrived today from ebay, I only won it Thursday night, so really good service received-it was only £1.20 plus £1.99 postage, a really good bargain!!

I'm pleased with it as it will be a great evening wear item with LBDs, my other 3 faux fur gilets are more daytime wear.

So, the grand total of faux fur gilets is 4-one in winter white, one in brown, one in black and the other is the faux shearling and embroidered one. I think I'm all done for gilets.

Now, what next for the wardrobe??
