Spring Style On A Budget

“Whatever the Budget, You can still have style”

It’s no secret that I now live alone (Read my latest post about it here) So now it’s all about living on a budget. Having to only buy things I deem necessary. However, as I’m still continuing my gym quest and my body is ever-changing, so getting clothes are still something that’s high on the agenda. Style on a budget is something I’ve been looking into more and more. It’s something I’ve sworn by since I was able to buy clothes. My motto is “If you feel comfortable and your clothes give your confidence, it shouldn’t matter the price” For example; sometimes I feel amazing in just my Boohoo man jeans and a shirt that I purchased for £5. It’s how clothes make you feel that’s the most important thing. I’ve been having a rummage around across the major retailers to find you guys some bargains! So let’s see what I’ve uncovered….

Pull & Bear Denim Jacket – £29.99 – The British weather is unpredictable, so you’re best to take a jacket with you wherever you go. This oversized denim jacket from Pull & Bear is a steal at just £29.99. I really love this jacket as I love the yellow stripe detailing down the arm.

Bershka Hoody-£17.99 – Lately I have found a hoody to be the comfiest thing to wear. I’ve started a collection of various colours and this soft pale yellow would go perfectly with my wardrobe collection. It’s a soft colour which would go with either black or blue jeans perfectly.

Pull & Bear Stripe Shirt – £19.99 – I’m seeing a theme here with the yellow. However, this striped shirt is a steal at £19.99. It’s perfect for the upcoming spring and summer months, paired with a pair of shorts and trainers it’ll be the perfect spring/summer outfit.

Pull & Bear Striped T-shirt – £9.99 – Pull & Bear have so many t-shirts on their website, and they’re at such good prices. Many of them like this one are stripped and have motifs on them. I’m in love with this green colour one with a flamingo motif. It’ also comes in yellow and blue with other motifs.

Boohoo Skinny Jeans – £12 – At the moment Boohoo has lots of deals on so the price after I’ve posted this may not be right. However, they always have deals on. But these jeans for£12 are an amazing steal! Perfect to roll the bottom of them up ready for those overcast hot days!

Bershka Basic Pumps – £19.99 – No outfit is complete without its footwear. These perfect pumps from Bershka will see you through those Spring days and most certainly add a freshness to your Summer outfits. At just under £20 I see them as such a bargain!

No matter what your budget, your style shouldn’t be compromised. It’s how you wear and put outfits together is the key!

OOTD: Spring Time Blues

May 1, 2017 by Lukeheywoodstyle 1 Comment

So it’s been a while since I did a proper fashion related blog post/ video. With trying to save to move out and saving for my big holiday in July it’s been tough with money. With that and going to the gym and getting all those gains my clothes are slowly dwindling with what fits me. I purchased this Yellow Topman jacket at least 2 years ago in the sale. I never thought it suited me when I had my naturally light hair. Dye my hair dark brown and 2 years later I’ve fallen in love with the jacket. The yellow is such a contrast to anything you wear with it, it’s a vibrant yellow that just makes me so happy when I put it on. Thank god I got a small instead of an X-Small as this jacket would be on the pile of selling too. It’s starting to get a little tight but for the moment I will just wear it all the time. The top underneath is also another top I purchased last year but it being Primark the sizing of it was just too big. Fast forward one year and all those gym gains have started to help. It now nearly fits properly and it doesn’t hang off me like it used to do. The ASOS jean, on the other hand, is coming to it’s final wearing. There’s only so much jumping around a room to try and get these jeans over your bum you can do. They are an amazing Jean and so comfortable to wear. It will look like I shall be scouring ASOS for some more jeans soon. Finally, the Marks and Spencer’s kids trainers that have lasted me oh so well. Spring is such a lovely time to enjoy the countryside and I for one love that I live somewhere I can go explore and lose myself in.

Favourite Outfits.

So It’s been a while since I did a favourite outfits post and because I brought a new t-shirt yesterday and the sun was shining today, I thought I’d put an outfit together that I really love. I also thought I would showcase my brown hair seeing as people wanted to see it when I got it done. I thought the grey was getting a little too much upkeep and so I thought just going a nice subtle colour close to my natural would look good.

While in Zara the other day I noticed that they had a lot of new prints which were bold and colourful. The t-shirt I’m wearing in my photo at the moment is my most colourful item of clothing. which for me makes me sad. As I’m a colourful person I really need to re-invent my wardrobe and inject so much more colour into it. The t-shirts from Zara are very reasonably priced at £19.99 and very good quality. My trousers are women’s trousers/joggers from my work. Marks and Spencer’s. They’re from the Limited section and are the most comfiest trousers I own. I got them in size 10 thinking they’d fit but they are just a tad big and would have got away with an 8, so I have to keep pulling them up every 5 minutes. The trousers were a good buy as they were £10 in the sale but with my 20% discount I got them even cheaper, I do love a bargain. My sandals are something I wanted last year but silly me left it till the last-minute and didn’t get them. However this year I saw them on Topman and had to buy them. They come in Tan or Black. Black just goes with everything so I stuck with black. They’re so comfortable and the first time I’ve ever worn sandals since I was little. I definitely want to buy the tan coloured ones to create new summer outfits with other colours that will go with Tan. The sandals are £60 from Topman but I got them cheaper with a gift card I had from christmas however I do know Zara have some sandals which are very similar!
