Legging Haul from Aliexpress! Burgain Huntress Alert

Hi everyone!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! I've recently put on some weight and am a little self concious about my body, so this is the PERFECT time to buy a whole load of skin tight unforgiving cameltoe inducing garments! I do think I can style them so that they don't emphasize my thunderthighs too badly, though, (*dusts shoulders off*) and as a massive fan of anything that isn't jeans I had to give them a go. I hauled these beautiful leggings from Aliexpress (a while ago *cries*) but better never than late I always say! (Amba, that makes no sense.)

First I got these Cream Floral ones:
All styled with Boohoo Tania Ankle Strap Platfroms
These leggings are nice and opaque, and a very wearable cream floral. They're exactly like in the pictures and super cheap. They are a OSFA deal so it's lucky that they are quite stretchy, and the colour I chose is 'beige' which is actually a light cream. (For reference I'm a NZ/UK size 8 - I think it's a US size 4)

Galaxy Print and Adventure Time Leggings ripped off from Black Milk Clothing:
 
Galaxy Green:  I think these leggings are a gorgeous colour! I got them in a size 'M' and they fit fine. the length is also perfect, I just accidentally hitched it up a little on one side.




Galaxy Rainbow: I'm not sure if these are the ones I ordered as sometimes things look different from the picture - these look a bit more red than rainbow, but still quite nice. I got these in an 'S' but can't see the difference between the sizing of these or the galaxy green in 'M.'

WHAT TIME IS IT?! Adventure Time!!...  Leggings!


As a huge fan of Adventure Time, how could I resist these? They also had many other versions, like Princess Bubblegum or B-Mo leggings but I just got the one that had them all on there. They are a slightly different materiel to the Galaxy Print leggings, more stretchy. Got these in an 'M' as well, they are really comfy!

All of the Black Milk rippoffs shown above are available HERE

I need to invest in some longer T-shirts and Jumpers to really feel comfortable wearing these, but when properly styled they look and feel great. But if you have model legs, you could wear these with a crop top and be golden haha

OOTD Monochromatical - B&W Caual Outfit feat. Tobi Lace Shorts & Glamorous.com Chunky White Heels


This is just a quick OOTD post inspired by @audriiiiiiiina who I'm presumptuously going to name my FIRST Instagram friend on my @LittleMewWears account. She has fantastic taste in colour as can be seen from her bow specialising Etsy shop HERE but has somehow developed a reputation of having a monochromatic closet among her friends :) If that's true then she's bang on trend!


I am just loving my new Glamorous.com platforms! I am the worst heel-wearer that I know, but I can wear these all day long without wanting to take them off. I got these in a size '5' UK which is just slightly loose for my small (read 'scrawny') Indian feet but #idontcare (more about the shoes in post HERE). Also in this outfit is my new Wildfox-knockoff jumper from Aliexpress which is identical to my first black ribcage version but in white. I prefer this one! It feels softer and the white is a gentle, wearable white if that makes any sense. I rolled up the sleeves here but they're the normal full lengh with ripped detailing at the ends. As with a lot of stuff from Aliexpress it's OSFA.
 

  The lace trim shorts are from Tobi.com in a size 'S' and fit at a comfortable high waist on me. Polkadot tights are from Aliexpress as well, cheap and cheerful and also OSFA! You can find out where I got the jewelry from THIS blog post.

OOTD featuring Missguided Sequin Maxi Skirt - Mermaid Casual


This skirt is sooo lush! I first saw it in a YouTube video by Amy Valentine and decided (as I do with most items that I can use free shipping to justify) that I would own it. Here I mismatched it with an oversized casual melty heart T-shirt from Aliexpress (I think it is a knockoff of one that H&M did a while back). As you may know by now, I love juxtaposing items in my wardrobe and I think that such an attention-grabbing skirt needs to be toned down by the rest of the look. I also felt that showing the shoes would ruin the 'mermaid effect' so I wore medium heels in black that can remain hidden and unnoticeable when they peep out :) I have rather narrow hips, but the sequins give the illusion of bigger curves. This skirt does not have a cut in it, and only the slightest bit of stretch; I have to get around with little baby steps when I wear it! (Makes me feel all high maintenance ◡‿◡✿)

 I have been addicted to wearing this vermeil (gold over sterling silver) crystal point by Lilly's Offering - It just goes with everything! It is so cheap, the international shipping is very reasonable and the quality is just amazing. The pendant comes all by itself so you have to use your own chain to wear it. I bought a gold vermeil one from Ebay. I wouldn't recommend doing this as there is very little quality control for buying precious metals on Ebay and although this serves its purpose: a)it is very thin and tangles on everything b)I am not even sure if it really is vermeil. I would suggest buying a chain from an Etsy seller instead, as their quality control is stricter. I have decided to hold onto a few Spirit Charms from my line of cuties for 'reaserch purposes.'

OOTD ft. Topshop Ombre Fringe Coord - Fringe Benefits

When I first saw this co-ord outfit on Topshop.com I promised myself that when I had the money I would buy it. Topshop is pretty expensive, especially for a little bargain hunter like me, and It was quite a big deal for me to buy this set at full price - But I did! Unfortunately the fringe tassles are the 'loop' kind which snag on absolutely everything! The jacket has a hook at the top to close it cape-style and the sleaves are 3/4 length. The shorts have a zip at the back and they are a regular fit. This set is no longer available on the Topshop website, but you can buy it on Ebay if you look around a bit.

OOTD ft. Asos Sequin Tunic - Madam, You Appear to be Missing a Heart



 

This Asos sequin heart tunic is a beautiful wardrobe statement piece. I paired it with a simple black velvet skater skirt and gold platfroms for a schoolgirl-glam look. Despite how much love I have for backless numbers, for those of us belonging to the Somewhat Large Bosom clan tops like this are just not our friends. Even with the mightiest wizardry of crossover-back bra straps, magical tape, and an item that I only know as 'chicken fillets' we really need genuine support if we're going to be doing any activity at all... and (God forbid) if a bra or bikini strap does so happen to cross the open back it sort of ruins the effect. What I do love about this top is that it's a flashy glamorous item cut in a very casual way (at least from the front), like an oversized chainmail T-shirt :)

When I lived in Germany, I remember reading an article on how to wear a summer dress in winter. Years later and armed with that wisdom, I refuse to acknowledge the temperatures that would restrict my wardrobe. Instead I pull out my arsenal of thick tights, warm thigh high socks, and cosy cardigans. These wardrobe weapons allow me to stay cosy and comfortable throughout the colder seasons without putting my favorite clothes into hibernation.
