Fashion Diary: Organize My Fashion and outfits

So I have used a storage bin of clothes to wear this week by my bed and this includes my black trousers from M&S, a dress from Shein, a vest top and a white blouse and a jumper I have been wearing.

I do wear the same thing for a few days, of course I change my underwear but if the jumper is clean I will wear it another day. I have purchased a new set of workout pants from Sainsbury’s TU because I love them see below, and love having clothes that I can layer up, and have a top from a charity shop, which is see through but worn it underneath a jumper, and because I am going to workout later got and have a sports bra on. I have had this sports bra for a good number years and it still fits which is a godsend, but Marks and Spencers do a great set of bras for working out and go up to H Cup.

Active Grey Marl Seam Free Leggings

The jumper I have on at the moment is from TK Maxx, and they do some great tops and is a top favourite store as I love searching through the racks and to find items in there. This one I found online, as I couldn’t find the one I have one but an example of the ones you can purchase which irritation free so won’t rub the skin and keeps me nice a warm.

This is (look above) from TU Sainsbury’s.

The other thing I make sure I do is rotate my clothes so they can all be worn and have items to grab and go, and I have talked about this in my other blogs:

I make sure I have all my leggins washed and roll them up so they don’t crease and the same with most of my clothes as well as hanging them, and feel I have enough items for me at the moment, but would like to one more set of fitness pants from TU Sainsbury’s because they can be worn all year round.

So more blogs to come and please check out my Newsletter that I created for January 2022 for more information of blogs I write and going to be doing.

I filmed a shop with me which will be uploaded on Wednesday on my phone and tomorrow gonna look in H&M as there are some pieces I have been looking at and their jumpers but thinking about waiting to see if they will have a sale on soon. A lot of retailers will start to want to winter clothes to be gone so they can bring in items for spring so if they do a sale, I will do a shop with me, so gonna check them out tomorrow.

I am gonna go through my shoe collection this week and see if there are any that I want to start wearing again soon. I do like my trainers, and this from someone who was even as a kid, loved wearing healed shoes, but not so much now.

Doing the school run has made me have items out ready, but want to get the most out of my clothes and shoes.

Now is the time to have a sort out and so want to go through my shoes and see what ones I can begin to wear to change my shoes I have go out, much more. I am going to share my items soon and go over outfits from my wardrobe.

I am going to go through the list of items I have written of what I want to buy next and I love wish lists and like to go through them as I often change my mind, and decluttering these lists can help your styling, as fashion is always evolving.

I do have a few items I want to purchase, one is a white and navy blue striped jumper and after a grey hoodie and another couple of polar necks as bought 3 already but because I love them so much (Check out amazon)so gonna purchase two more and that is my winter wardrobe for 2022.

Then it is spring and so the days will begin to be warm and looking forward to it and not having to wear so many layers, even though I do like the cosiness of winter clothes, but be good to be able to go outside without bulking up.

I do have clothes that can be worn all year like vest tops, dresses and shorts, but would like a few more dresses that can be worn all year.

I only have a few and be worn casually going with what I already have and that for me is important and also budget and save.

So what items do you need to add to your wardrobe you can leave a comment below.

Thursday FLB/Investing in Clothes you know your gonna wear

Hello it is Thursday once again and this Thursday’s Fashion Look Book is about Investing in Clothes you know your gonna wear.

You will never catch me with hot pants but you will in a scarf that is like a blanket and hat that stays on and goes with my current fashion and wear when I have my hair up and in a jumper sipping a hot chocolate.

In the spring I start to down layer and saving my layers of clothing for summer and have plenty of vest tops and sleeveless tops.

I will never catch me wearing crop tops but items that keeps me cool but warm me up with an iced coffee, like a T-Shirt, jeans and a cardigan or blazer or one of my Denim Jackets.

I never used to drink Iced Coffee until last year and looking forward to drinking again.

I will invest for the Spring some shorts but ones that suit my style and fits into my wardrobe and have a capsule Spring and Summer Wardrobe that is casual and dress up for them to be more versitile, hence the title of this blog and sandals and flip flops I know I am going to wear.

See the vision board I created for my first set of weekly Look Books for this blog site, last year, and grey and light pinks are my go to colours.

I will start to plan for my Spring and Summer wardrobe and go through my clothes to rotate them so I know they will get worn and that I can mix and match, which is important to me.

I would like more colours for bottoms and leggings. I wear leggings almost everyday and I am starting to have well worn ones with holes, so will need to be replaced as they are my go to and is the fashion I am ready to part money for.

So, yes invest in what you know you gonna wear a lot of and not stuck in your wardrobe still and if you have doubts then don’t invest until you don’t have doubts, and enjoy wearing.

Many thanks for reading,

Monday FLB, Everlasting Fashion

So what key pieces do you have in your wardrobe?

Well, this is the point of these blogs I like to write about and I do two blogs a week on this site sharing Weekly FLB (Fashion Look Books), on Monday’s and Thursday’s to help you get the most out of the fashion you have in your wardrobe and build a capsule wardrobe that will last you for decads to come.

There are some real good pieces that can last you forever.

This contains an image of: 90𝒔 𝑭𝑨𝑺𝑯𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝑩𝑳𝑶𝑮

So found this style on Pinterest and the two pieces like jackets and blazers with matching skirt is stylish and can be worn casually with a pair of pump, brogues or ballet type shoes or even a sandle.

It is good to have items you can layer up with and in the summer rather then layering have a nice spart vest top with the two piece suit.

Sometimes I wish stores would pair clothes up rather than buying the blazer and skirt separately.

Tops and jeans, of different styles for me I do like jeggings and bootcut style denim jeans and I love my three Denim Jackets and if looked after can be worn for many years to come. One tip buy a size up as some shrink and not washed too much will be everlasting and Denim will never go out of fashion, well for me that is. I hope some of you agree.

The leggings, socks and trainers is my kind of style and wore those today and have a few pairs of trainers and because I love them. As a small kid and for a long time I was all about the heal, but now my go to and would not live without.

I live in my leggings and some I have lasted me for ages and stress free when it comes to getting ready each day and will never grow old as far as I am concerned.

So what everlasting items do you have and what are your go to pieces each day. Please leave a comment below.

You can keep up to date with this blog if you follow me and why not check out my other blog sites I write and have three youtube channels, see links below:

Gloves, Coats, Bags and Scarfs

So today whilst I got off the bus I checked out Oliver Bonas were doing a sale on their scarfs and one of them was like beigy brown and orange colour was £35 now £20, so hoping this will continue and so going to pick up one.

Honeycomb Camel Brown & Pink Scarf

I also checked a charity shop, the British Heart Foundation and a white bag price at £8.99 that I may pick this up tomorrow or keep my eye on it, and see if the price goes down.

When shopping be vigliant on the items you want as often they will now as we move into spring have a sale on their Autumn and Winter items.

Here is a tote bag that Oliver Bonas do and in store they had a black and gold cloth bag like this one for £12.50.

Love Heart Pink Fabric Shopper Bag | Oliver Bonas

I know their prices are high on items but often to get quality spending that bit extra can go a long way and often the sales aren’t frequent so it is good to get in when you can.

If you need a good hat I love mine from amazon that I bought last year and love it. The pompom at the top of it is attachable and for me it is a collective item.

Then there is a coat and mine is from BHS in the Dorothy Perkins section and was a Christmas present and still have it and I love it.

Dorothy Perkins grey Coats - Women´s Coats, Jackets • Differenta.com

This one is from Dorothy Perkins at is about £30, but because many stores are closed down in the UK, it is available in other countries, but Boohoo, Amazon and Debenhams as they are selling items online do gray coloured coats and at afforable prices.

So, I hope this helps you with your wardrobe and what to invest in and there will be more to come.

Monday look book/Chic Fashion

cheap -Women's A Line Dress Short Mini Dress White Black Gold Long Sleeve Solid Color Sequins Fall One Shoulder Casual 2022 S M L XL / Loose

Off the should tops and dresses: These are very stylish and have a couple of tops and jumpers like that from Amazon, and can be worn all through the year when out and if you are having parties now and want something that can be worn for many occasions is a good investment and make sure it washes well and doesn’t lose its glimmer.

Polka Dot Crew Neck Knee Length Shift Dress Image 2 of 5

Polka Dots: I love a polka a dot and have tops and dresses with polka dots on them and been looking for somewhere to where them as they are stylish and again can be worn casually and stylish like in this image above, with a pair of white plimsols like shoe and with boots in the winter and autumn, then summer when the nights are light again and picture this when going to the races with a hat or a fascinator.

The suit: I like a suit and can be worn without working in an office. Some employers wouldn’t like the shorts, but can still be worn in the summer and winter with a pair of DM’s and replaced with a skirt, a pair of jeans or trousers to go with it and different type tops, shirts, sleeveless tops and jumpers and so very versitile and check laundry requirements so they can be washed easily.

LA DOUBLEJ Big tiered printed cotton-poplin maxi skirt

The long Maxi skirt and dresses: I have one of these in a pink colour which I bought when I went on an Iberia Cruise and visited Lisbon, when there was a little market and did have others when I went to see Strictly Come Dancing Semi Final but didn’t feel I’d wear it again and now wished I had kept them.

The showing in highly expensive but is a style I would wear, and can be worn with boots or sandals and yes gonna get mine as it don’t wear it a lot, but is a treat when I do.

So I hope you liked this blog, please comment on your Chic items you’d recommend and many thanks for reading,

Thursday Look Book/Wrapping up for the cold that can be worn in the summer

So yesterday I was having trouble with this blog site I write about Fashion, but looks like it is good today.

I don’t have to say it, if you live in the UK and in London the Coldness has arisen again and so means wrapping up warm, and wearing different layers to keep ourselves warm.

Sleeveless polar neck jumpers are good investment because these can be worn without layers underneath and be layered with a shirt of a long sleeved vest and be snug as a bug.

https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/163325923982059557/

With these though when it comes to washing them always check the directions on the clothing label and keep note of them if you remove the label from the clothing. I would wash it on delicates or thinthletics and no higher that 40 degrees.

Story Pin image

The skirt. I have two or three in my possession a cream, red checked like in this picture and maroon leather skirt and love them as I can team them up with black tights, a nice shirt on top with a jumper and sleeveless polar neck tops and a pair of knee high, ankle boots and then in the summer, ballet style shoes or sandals.

9 of the Coolest Women I Follow Just Shared Their Spring Buys With Me

The oversized coat and jumpers have come into style yet I have been dressing up like this for years and makes me feel right at home.

I love investing in oversized jumpers and coats because when even in the summer when it is cold in the evening, you can put these on and stop you from shivering if you have been in a pub all evening where it is warm.

This contains an image of: {{ pinTitle }}

The knew high boot and I have a blacl pair from Amazon which I love wearing and great staple to have in my wardrobe. I find it hard to find a good pair, as I do have big carves but once I find a good decent pair I like to wear them to death and makes many outfits stylish and look crisp with many tops and styles and when it is warm where with a denim skirt and a t-shirt for example.

So sorry that this blog is a day late but glad to have it up and running as there is more to come on this site and all the images I have saved on my own Pinterest account and check it out below. If you’d like to be kept up to date of my blogs on this site then remember to follow me and like if you did like this post.

Monday Look Book/My Colours I love to wear

I am talking light pinks, grey, red, white, navy blue and peach colours.

Above is an example of the colours and add black into it. I do try to stay clear of black, as I like to add nice colours to my wardrobe. The top I have had for a long time and I love it. I can’t remember where I bought it but was a good purchase.

I love these jumpers I bought this year, one is from TU Sainsbury’s and the other from TK Maxx. I love TK Maxx and bought some new items from their today. It is my go to store and will even visit the store when I don’t buy anything, I love to check what goodies in terms of fashion they have.

You do often have to hunt but is a top favourite.

I love grey and these are grey leggings from Amazon and love their fashion collection and purchased a new pink polar neck top as I bought a white and black one and loved them and fit and wash so well that I wanted another as it does seem that in London to be getting colder. It has been quite warm for London this week and great for wrapping up for when the weather gets colder.

The trainers are also Amazon and the black lace vest is from Unglo.

This is a top from Very which comes with a white vest top underneath but is a lovely top I like to wear and all year round and I am a lover of light pink and is my go to colour.

I did have favourite outfits and these are what I have loved wearing this year and will be adding more blogs about my clothes I have. Coming up I will be on my Youtube channel typicallondongal start doing Fashion talk videos and so when I do I will let you know.

Many thanks for reading,

Thursday Look Book/Items I would like to add and vision boards using Pinterest

Hello so I have begun to create ideas of fashion I would like in the new year and one is a Pink Polar neck, new baige colour hooded fleece from H&M and a pair of new pink trainers from amazon replacing some shoes I have worn out.

Hoodie - Light beige - Ladies | H&M GB
STAR FASHION Womens Polo Neck ROLL Neck Turtle Neck Plain Jumper TOP Lightweight Long Sleeve Pullover
Women’s Running Shoes Fashion Sports Sneakers for Walking,Hiking,Training

I also miss having a bumbag and want to go through my shoes as there are items I no longer care for and still like but to be worn.

The Polar neck is on amazon and bought two early December and love them and worn them religously, differently a good purchase and the trainers too, as the two pairs I already have again worn a lot and just want another pair cause they are easy to put on and like casual looking days.

So what do you plan for the next year ahead? I would like any recommendations of stores you know of that you’ve shopped from and what goodies they do.

You can leave a comment below, and remember to follow if you want to keep up to date of my blogs on this site, and I do have three youtube channels:

  • typicallondongal
  • mystylewayofliving
  • carrieseducationalyoutubechannel

Check out my vision board on Pinterest, I love doing this each year of looks I like and has other content on there too, so check it out here:

Pinterest is brilliant to create a vision board for fashion and I love different looks you can find that will grow my wardrobe to the point I have plenty I can wear without breaking the budget.

I like clothes that last for a longtime and can be worn through the year, and more look books to come for 2022.

Happy new year,

Carrie X
