Fashion (and beauty) Faux Pas

Hello my honeybears!

Sorry for dropping off the face of the Earth for a while, I've been extremely busy and stressed to bits! I'm also full of a very bad cold or the beginning of flu so this post won't have pictures of me. Be pleased.

Instead I will tell you all about my top fashion faux pas that make me cringe like mad.

You ready? Here goes!

In at number 10 is....

Bras on show! By this I mean when people are wearing round neck tops and the edges of their bra or, in some cases that I've seen, half the cup being on show. Personally, I think it looks trashy, it's like stereotypical chav in my book. I don't see how it's sexy in the slightest, nor do I see how it's comfortable having that much breast exposed.

This topic takes me nicely onto my number 9

Wearing bras that are too small! I am a culprit of this *slaps hand* but it is normally because I'm too skint to afford nice, new bras so I make so (When you get over a DD, you can't find nice bras for a reasonable price). It looks horrible when you can see boobs spilling over the tops of the bra and pressing against a top or dress or when someone bends over and you can see their boobs are out of the bra. It's not nice at all.

At number 8, it is....

Band t shirts! Obviously, not all band t shirts but people wearing band t shirts when they don't know who the band is but they think the top is cool. I actually had a lovely experience in Topshop when they had just brought out their Fleetwood Mac tops. A girl behind me said to her friend 'Oooh, this tops's cools. I might get it. What is Fleetwood Mac? Who cares.' I'm sorry but I believe that you should have to be able to name at least 3 songs before you are allowed to purchase a band top. Hipsters, stop this madness.

Number 7...

Double denim! I know it's in fashion at the moment but I am not a fan. I only like it when it's say, black jeans and a light blue jacket. The same colour denim worn together makes me hate life a little. Dungarees are an exception of course but denim jacket/shirts/jeans/skirts (any of the combinations) worn together just don't sit right with me.

In at number 6

Not a fashion faux pas per say but Obvious roots! By this I mean when someone who's naturally light brown/blonde/redhead who dyes their hair black or someone with dark hair who dyes their hair blonde. The inevitable happens, your hair grows and then BOOM! The most obvious, minging roots ever. I just hate it, I honestly do. It's nothing against people who dye their hair those colours, it's just a case of trying to keep on top of your colouring so you don't end up with horrific roots.

Number 5

Top knots!  Whoever invented this hairstyle. You suck. It looks like their in a pineapple on your head! You look ridiculous. I know it might be a quick, out of the way hairstyle but seriously?! It's just stupid and I have tried it, when you have long hair, it actually hurts your neck because it is rather heavy. No one puts it better than the genius of Jenna Marbles!

Number 4!

Bodywarmers! Gilets. Whatever you call them. I don't understand them. It's my extremities that get cold first so who went 'Hey, you know what's a good idea? Cutting the arms off a padded jacket!' I get that it's safer to keep your core warm but I would like warm arms too please. They also make me think of the Michelin Man which puts me so far off them that I'd rather wear Michelin tyres instead of them.

The top 3!

So close but so far. Number 3

Onesies! I'm mainly talking about people that go outside in their onesies. I see them as safe, cosy and simply to be worn indoors whilst drinking hot drinks and watching crappy films. They are not for going outside, shopping. It looks like you've just forgotten to get dressed and I always worry that they haven't bothered to wash before. Stop this madness! I own a onesies, it is a Totoro onesie. If I went out in that, I would be sectioned because people would think I had escaped from the psychiatric wing of a hospital.
This is the same as my onesie. Now you see why people would think this of me.

Close but no cigar, number 2

Red lipstick! Yes, red lipstick maybe sexy and sultry in the right hands but in the wrong hands, it's a disaster! There are many who believe that anyone can wear the rouge lipstick and resemble the sex symbol Marilyn Monroe but end up looking like the Joker. It is not for all. It pains me to see people wearing red lipstick when they can't pull it off. Ask a professional if you are unsure. Save yourself the embarrassment.

And the top offender, beating off the competition for the number 1 spot is....drum roll please....

SEE THROUGH LEGGINGS! Oh yes, boys and girls, we've all seen them. The infamous see through leggings favoured by teenage girls and chavs. My stomach turns at the thought of them. No one wants to see your granny pants, thongs or what you had for breakfast. Put yourself away and buy some new leggings or at the least, a long top. I love and loathe leggings in equal measures. Opaque leggings will have a place in my heart whereas see through leggings have their own special place in hell.
REBEL AGAINST THE INJUSTICE!

Do you have any fashion/beauty hates? Tell me about them in my comment box :)

Sorry if I have offended anyone but I am only speaking my mind.

Thanks for reading my loves.

Toodles!

Summer has finally arrived!

Yes, you heard it here first people. Summer has arrived in the UK, for the week at least but since I've finished work and the sun is still shining, I thought I'd make the most of it.

This is my general summer look, it's probably like 99% of the female populations because it is actually so ridiculously basic, it's a fail safe.

Sorry for the shit quality of pictures btw, I have to take them on my phone because I a) don't have a 'professional' camera a.k.a an extremely expensive one and b) it makes me look like I'm orange when really, I have the skin colour of a redhead (very, very pale)

Denim shorts with a vest, or bandeau top in my case, are a classic! You can't go wrong really unless you have, like me, escaping fat that make me just shake your head in disgrace.
I adore this top. I got it out of a magazine when I was like 12 and because I'm a massive squirrel and struggle to throw stuff away, I still had it when I got boobs (yes, that wonderful time in life). My denim shorts are actually way too big for me hence why they look so odd at the front, there's on the tightest notch of my belt. I bought them off eBay and tbh, they're amazing. 18 quid for Levi shorts? Erm, YES PLEASE! It was my own stupid fault for not measuring myself properly before ordering them so I can't fault the company. They're amazing and I would honestly get more if I hadn't spent my last 18 quid on a cat dress (I regret nothing!)

Ahaha, my eyebrows look sooooo wonky! I always wear black eyeliner, liquid and kohl, no matter the weather. I use both the Rimmel exaggerate waterproof eye definer in black and the Maybelline New York master precise eye liner pen. I prefer eye liner pens because they are far more precise and I don't end up with my eye liner covering most of my eyelid, it's happened to us all at some point and, lets face it, it's so annoying having to redo it all over again. I recently got a Barry M eye shadow pencil in Gold Cream to make my eyes look bigger, it does the trick but it doesn't sit nicely and starts to look a bit bobbly.
Aviators are the coolest sun glasses ever. I love sun glasses and I have a lovely selection from big WAG style glasses which make me look like a fly to my favourite mirrored Aviators. I seriously worry about my eye sight so whenever it's sunny I have to get my sunnies out just to protect my peepers from any damage the sun might cause them.
My hair is in awful condition atm. It needs a good cut and dye job because it just looks horrible. I do normally try and go for the 'beachy waves' look but it didn't quite take this time and ended up looking like a frizz ball.

I love accessories. If my outfit is plain, like this one, I add some unique accessories that will add some flavour to the entire thing. That way, it stands out and doesn't seem so drab and boring.

I'll say this now, if you've bothered to read all of this. I LOVE EBAY! There's so many companies on eBay that do amazing stuff for cheap. I have clothes, accessories even full make up brush sets from companies on eBay and when they're from like China and that, there's normally FREE DELIVERY! How can you go wrong?! Answer: You can't/

Wey, that was my outfit yesterday.
Hope I've converted you to the ways of the wonderful eBay.

Toodles my honeybears.
