£1 OOTN

I was really struggling to find a new dress for a party last Friday night and had been searching all week and nothing took my fancy!

I then began the mammoth task of scouring my wardrobe for something suitable ... when i came across a black and gold woolen skirt that i had picked up in Primark about two years ago ... for just £1.

A flash of inspiration hit me and i hoisted the skirt up, chucked on a belt and voila! A new dress!! ha.

I love the finished look!

I teamed it with a zillion different necklaces, bracelets and a cute feather head band. Scruffed my hair up, did a quick smokey eye look and chucked on some biker boots and there we have it, a bargainous OOTN!!

Here's a little peek at the make up look i did and my scruffy hair - not quite as good as last weekend but better than flat, lifeless hair. I really want to sort out my clip-in extensions - really struggling to find some decent ones that match the tones of my hair :(

P.S. I didn't have my tripod with me and the bf wasn't being very cooperative and helping me out with the photos so i invented my own camera stand in his hallway ... special thanks goes to the drum and cardboard box i happened to find lying around, ha! Inventive, no?!

What's the best bargain you've ever found?

Today really is a Good Friday ...

Happy Easter to all my readers :)

I am in a great mood today; my hair has actually behaved for once and i have managed to create some fresh, beachy waves and with the new colour (had more caramel put in!) it looks great. I have also had some great results from my camera and tripod combo today so without further a-do i'll let you see what i achieved with a quick OOTD/HOTD post ....

 

Outfit:

Dress - Primark

Denim waistcoat - Primark (years and years ago!)

 

Hair:

Make-Up:

 

I am a self-confessed Primark addict - most of my clothing comes there and i'm quite lucky to have a one in all the surrounding towns to where i live so i get a vast range of products and choice :)

How are my OOTD posts turning out? Enjoying them?

Manhattan From The Sky ...

Quick outfit of the day from yesterday that i didnt have time to post. I adore this pink tunic dress!! I've been looking for something like this for a few months and finally found one by chance when i was in town last weekend looking for floral dresses!

I teamed it with some thick black tights, a brown plaited belt, brown pixie boots and a chunky wooden studded bangle - i also wore my favourite new necklace 'Toby Owl' (yes, i've named my owl necklace but who cares). Toby Owl is quite possibly one of my best bargains ... 99p on ebay including postage!

My OoTD pics are pretty poor as its quite cramped in front of my floor-length mirror at the mo as i'm in the process of having a spring-clean. Hopefully they'll get better...

Also thought i'd add a couple of pics of items from my bracelet box - i have a slight obession with bracelets and have a hat box crammed with them (its actually overflowing now) :¬/

Have you checked out my jewellery line? http://onerainyday.webs.com/

I have some exciting new items coming soon :) hopefully have them up by next weekend :)
