£20 Outfit Challenge

I recently found the $20 makeup challenge on youtube and thought it was such a good idea! Try to make people look at more affordable options and show how you dont have to spend a load to have the look you want. So because I dont do anything with makeup I thought I could translate it into an outfit challenge and spent my lunch break thrifting and looking around, and heres what I came up with.
 Hope you enjoy!



 Top: £2 
Jeans: £1 (Levis)
Shoes: £3.50 (H&M)
Belt: 99p
Hat: 50p
Collar: £2
Spike Cuff: £1


Total: £10.99


All items from charity bar the collar which is from car boot sale.


 Now I dont usually like the neon trend that has been around for a while as I find they items can to be too garish or just not my style, but this is my little take on it, considering it is summer.
I found this cool little skater tee from St Lukes charity shop for only 32, which is strange compared to the other prices in that shop, I think its because there is a few stains on it, hopefully they will come out, looks like tea.
Anyways stains aside I love the pattern of this top, the contrast of the neon tribal stuff against the grey marl background, and what kinda looks like leopard print...
They match these vintage Levis really well, blending the grungy look together with all the rips and shiz...the colours go together really well as well, the only issue i have with these jeans isn't how high waisted they are its the fact that's there's rips all over the ass, So I'm pretty much hanging out, fun...
Peek of snoopy belt too :3

 I got this cute little beanie form the kids section of a Age UK and I remember when it was in the Halloween section of B&M because i bought the pumpkin version but I really love this version, much nicer colour and cuter than the pumpkin.

New Glasses!

 I just bought these awesome sunglasses form Karmaloop.com! They are just like the Jeremy Scott pair I have been lusting over for absolutely ages, just slightly different shape for copyright obviously, but apart from that almost exact the same. All for only a fiver,  pretty happy with that.
Also they sent them in a box with some gummy bears, win win.

Carboot Haul

Car boot time! This time was only a local church one which didnt have much to choose from so only got 4 items, which sucks but hey, still ok. 
 First up are these kind of hideous trousers i got for only 10p! 10p!! What a bargain! Even though they look like hideous granny trousers now I thought with a bit of sewing skills and altering I could turn them into awesome skinny jeans. I just hope my skills stretch that far....
I hope they will turn out all punk and awesome when I'm finished, may even add a few studs or spikes.

Another bargain for 10p, from the same woman. Again I hope to alter this, hopefully it will all be great practice for the future. I love the print and fabric of this polo shirt, its like a cool golf shirt, covered in these squares of golf things. I'm looking for a black shirt now so I can remove the collar and buttons and add to this because I'm not a fan of polo shirts, not hating just not my style ;)
Finally, see not many things today, is this dangerously beautiful bib necklace from New Look. Its all silver and covered in spikes, so different to the normal collar necklaces you see, which is why I adore it so, it's so dangerous and edgy looking, which hopefully add some much needed glamour to my outfits.
I got it for £2 which is kind of expensive for a carboot but it was still on the paper backing.



That is all for today, not a very good haul but was only a small place, got a few more planned, hopefully they will be better.

Outfit of The Day- Dreaded Double Denim

Another outfit of the day, this time attacking the faux pas of double denim! I'd like to say I handled it well, others will probably say different...

 Hat: Primark

Shirt: Charity Shop
T shirt: Topman
Jeans: Charity Shop
Shoes: eBay
Necklace: eBay

I only buttoned the top button of the shirt to show off the t shirt and not have too much denim as if the shirt was buttoned up. I like how the necklace ties in nicely with the buttoned shirt and colour of the t shirt.
Also I'm in love with these jeans! Such a good find for £1.50, love the style of the rolled up bottoms and the butt pockets, which you cant see, and the bleached style, their so unique I feel.

I love this necklace! Its from Kreepsville but I found it on eBay as an impulse buy late at night, glad I did thought it's really awesome! Cost around a fiver including p&p which is pretty good considering on the website it cost £20 for the necklace.  
These Nike Air Max don't really go with the look but I've been obsessed with them ever since they arrived! I think they add to the grungey 90's sneaker kid vibe haha.









There we goo, all done for today, some more posts coming soon though! Watch this space!

Outfit Of The Day- Cosmo

Another outfit of the day gurl! I know I know these are pretty ratchet, but I dont have much inspo for outfits at the moment, I mean I only go to Barnardos :P This was a quick photo shoot (as if) before I left which I may start doing again.....
Anyway here we gooo!

 I love this t shirt! I got it from New Look in Liverpool ages ago in a buy 2 get 1 free deal, good times....
So I've gone for a kinda seapunk look today I feel with the colours and shiz, just have to dye my hair green.
Hat: eBay
T shirt: New Look
Jeans: Carboot
Wig: eBay
Shoes: New Look
Necklaces: Topman 

I've tried to stick to the simple colour scheme as per because I like samey samey things that match but not exactly. Matched the trousers to hints of purple in the top, although I'm just loving these jeans so that's the real reason I wore them ;)  
I didn't realize how my hat looked like it was falling off in this picture, I blame the wig, although it didn't look like that during the rest of the day, looked better and stayed on pretty well. i wore the wig because I fancied having blonde hair for the day, even though its cheap it fits well and looks great, well at least I think so. 
That's all for today, more soon
