Shirts in Winter

It's been ages since I did a No Debutante personal style post, I've been so lucky to have so many inspiring fashion moments and obsessions surrounding me, I have kind of forgotten about my style, not on a daily bases of course, as anyone who follows my social media will know, every day is a fashion opportunity for No Debutante! It's about time I shared some of my most recent looks on the blog.

I've noticed I have worn a lot of shirts in January 2017, shirts, layering and sportswear, it is frrrrrreezing cold so I have worn long sleeves and got involved with a lot of layering. The shirts are all oversized with bright graphics and mostly come from Lazy Oaf with the exception of my vintage, fashion salvaged (from BTR originally from Daks) Hawaiian style shirt with a print that reminds me of a Paul Gauguin painting. 

Here's how I wear my oversize shirts in the winter time (mostly with a cuddly fur coat thrown over the top) I wear these shirts all year round as they are great in the summer months too. A great investment for you fashionistas now I reckon!

My new Tezla earrings go great with my Fruity Lazy oaf shirt

How to wear a shirt No Debutante style!

After a lovely long and busy Bank Holiday I am back with another personal style post. This week I have two sick children  and an obsession with listing items to sell on eBay,  it's free listings weekend and I believe it's healthy to declutter your life and try and make some money out of it! I may have also become obsessed with bidding on vintage toys and, so far, spent more than I make but hopefully all that will change with my mass of items currently available on eBay!! Won't it? 

Today's personal style post feature three ways I wear a shirt.

The first being rockabilly and modern vintage influenced tied at the waist and worn with 1950s jeans and a victory roll.

The second a more minimal look with the sleeveless denim shirt buttoned all the way up and practically worn as a (very short) dress with creepers.

The third look is more grunge influenced with a nod to the western cowboy look, unfortunately the full body shots were too dark to use, but I think you get the picture. 

All looks finished off with my freshly coloured pink and blue hair that My Little Pony would be jealous of!

All clothing from H&M, Topshop, Vivien of Holloway, Primark, Underground and Tatty Devine

Thanks so much for reading and a big welcome to my new followers xx

No Debutante - Welcome to my 100th blog post!!

I only just noticed that this is my 100th blog post!!! I am very excited and amazed I actually got here! I wish I could post on my blog every day but I seriously do not have the time! I am writing this post on the evening of Mothers Day after receiving a lay in, breakfast in bed (a Marmite Bagel lovingly prepared by my 8 year old son Lucian), homemade cards, chocolates, spa vouchers and a bottle of Sailor Jerry's rum - I have been totally spoilt, again! We then spent the day at the pub with my family with lots of food and drinks consumed, followed by a freezing cold walk home, more food and here I am sat with a glass of rum about to watch an episode of Mad Men. Life is sweet!

This is a No Debutante personal style post featuring Monochrome, Primark Sunday and other oddities.

Monochrome

 

This is the outfit I wore for Primark Sunday. What is Primark Sunday? As I have mentioned before, twice a year (to meet the change in the fashion season) I plan a big, kids free, day out at Primark for a big shop! I can try everything on and spend ages (4 hours on this occasion - the Primark here in Bristol has 4 floors, don't judge!) browsing and hunting down the best buys for the current season-which clearly hasn't started yet as snow is predicted, again. It's ridiculous, there was a bloody heatwave in the UK this time last year!!?

A Primark shop includes everything you need for the season at a 1/4 of the price, it's disposable, high fashion and I love it!

Beehives, headscarves and flowers in your hair!

 

The below images were not taken on Primark Sunday but I liked them so I thought I'd pop them in for a bit of colour and wish it was actually Spring!!

 

 

 

 Primark Sunday

 

  Last spring I returned home from Primark Sunday with lots of Americana printed garments but this spring it was definitely the season of the shirt! I managed to get a sleeveless shirt, a white broderie anglaise sleeveless smock shirt with denim details, denim shirt with mesh leopard print sleeves, and a khaki army jacket with aztec detail.

I also managed to get hold of some studded denim cut offs, a long black vest with white skull detail (for a mere £3!!) a  long cross detailed necklace and a great crop t-shirt which is the perfect 1980s cut with RAD written on it. It's supposed to be an ironic statement to my husband Phil who skates and this sort of thing annoys him. The irony actually is, that I really like the Rad t-shirt! It's Rad!

One outfit from Primark Sunday.

 

I thought I would give you a glimpse of one my new outfits from Primark Sunday. I had to be quick so I am actually still wearing the monochrome outfit underneath! This is a brave new look for me -the pleated maxi skirt- I have chosen to wear it with the new denim and leopard print shirt and my brothel creepers. I was already wearing the socks but I liked the look and went with it. I chose the skirt in black as pleated, light weight black garments are a big thing for the summer. What do you think? Can I work a pleated maxi skirt?

 

 

Creeper love!

All clothing from H&M, New Look, Underground at Office and not forgetting Primark!

I love Primark Sundays!
