She's All That

Hello little bloglings! Since I've been gone (no, I'm not going to start jotting down kelly clarkson lyrics) I've acquired a brand spanking new job (PAID this time) at House of Fraser in the multi channel department of their Baker Street office! I'm still learning the ins and outs but my team are lovely and I can't wait to get settled there!
Secondly, to celebrate my first pay cheque in over 6 months, me and a couple of gals booked a holiday to Ibiza for the grand price of £200! Flights, hotel and parties included, well chuffed! The party places are not my sort of thing anymore but I just couldn't turn down a deal like that! 
Another bit of exciting news, Stray Closet has now reached over 40k views! That's probably a days work for a lot of you, but this has been a long time coming for me! So thanks guys!
Amongst all of this, I have seriously dropped off the fashion bandwagon and desperately need to learn whats what again! 
So, to kick off, I purchased this cheeky number a couple of days ago whilst watching Eurovision (who else is loving Conchita?!).
 I recently watched 'She's All That' and simply had to find a gorge 90s trend spaghetti strap dress like Laneys, and Fashion Union made this happen for just £12! This one also looks a lot like Cher's little white number in Clueless, you all know the one! 
It hasn't arrived yet but I'm hoping it'll be super cute when it does! 


Clueless






I've always been so focused on print each season, so this time its all about plain colours and simple lines and shapes. A simple dress can look gorgeous when its got a great fit, and they're so much cheaper too!

Lusting after: Leather Skirt

Lusting after Leather





I have been lusting after this leather skirt from Missguided for a while now, but it's always out of stock. I am checking online every single day until I get my hands on it. 
You may have noticed a few leather skirts cropping up on the high street. I myself have seen them in Ark, H&M and Topshop, which is where the one above is from. 
The trend compliments the 90's theme of garments in the shops at the moment, and having bought a few items from my birth decade (love for the nineties babies out there!) I cannot wait to put them together with this leathery friend. 
I created this outfit to show you how I would wear it. I am a sucker for a baggy jumper as you may have seen on other posts. Its definitely what I feel most confident in, and you can never go wrong with one. This ox-blood jumper is cropped, in keeping with the trend and shows off the entire skirt. A bag, a bit of jewellery (a statement necklace stops the jumper looking plain) and some gorgey shoes will tie this whole look together and you can walk the streets among your fellow nineties fans knowing you have the trend bang on.

Put some spice girls on whilst you're getting ready.
