outfit: spiked jumper + leather shorts

ASOS Beanie, DIY Cropped Jumper, Leather Shorts from eBay (first featured here), ASOS Sandals, Kate Moss for Rimmel Matte Lipstick in 111
When a rare warm winter day comes around, it is best to take advantage of it. However, I still want to have textures synonymous with winter. Textures such as leather and terry cloth are reminiscent of winter yet they are still great for those warmer winter days. I also upcycled this jumper where I simply added some studs. This is a simple DIY which anyone can do.


I also completed the two outfits with my DIY transparent clutch, DIY wire chevron rings and two spiked bracelets from eBay.

five picks from asos

This is another round of five picks and I know I haven't updated this blog for a week. Don't fret, I haven't forgotten, I've just been enjoying my mid-semester break. All of these five pieces I have been eyeing for quite some time and I thought I would share them in this round of five picks.

For the past two months, I've been finding the perfect wrap skirt. This has been a 'struggle', (but lets face it, there is more to the world than finding the perfect skirt) mainly because I couldn't find any in stores locally or they weren't at a suitable price point. However, this skirt from ASOS is virtually perfect and at a great price too! Combine it with student discounts and free shipping, I might have to order it for myself.

I know that I have placed an emphasis on building the wardrobe basics, but one trendy piece won't hurt right? This applique top is feminine but is edgy and dark at the same time. This top is great for layering especially when it is coming into winter here in Australia. This can be paired with a black skater skirt for an ultra feminine date night outfit or combat boots for some edgy glam.

ASOS FLIRT Sandals
For my final pick, I chose these pair of sandals. A simple black sandal is a wardrobe staple which can be easily paired with anything especially denim shorts on hot summer days. This sandal also comes in an electric orange colour which can add a pop of colour  to any outfit. The only things that stopped me from buying the orange pair was that I couldn't really wear it with anything. I've bought three of these items already and I may buy a fourth. Take a guess. Hope you enjoyed this round of five picks.
