Invading my dad's wardrobe!

Who thought you could find stuff to wear from your dad's wardrobe!? Ok, a lot of people. This trend isn't a new thing, but my dad doesn't have any of those cool patterned shirts that are oh-so-stylish on us girls, not him, at the moment. But I did manage to scavenge this belt, and considering I've been searching for good width black (ok this is dark brown) belt, I'd consider this a huge success!

1. Cardigan - Topman

2. Shirt - H&M

3. Belt - My dad's

4. Shorts - eBay (brand unknown)

5. Shoes - Topshop

Whilst we're all gathered here, can I just congratulate myself on snapping up these denim bad boys for less than a fiver! I don't know if you've ever tried to find a pair of cheap Levi's (or other alternative) on eBay, but you can't usually bag yourself a decent pair for under £15! Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Levi's anyway; they don't stretch much and their idea of 'high waisted' isn't as high as I like. I'm very happy with this purchase.

 Especially since before I bought these, I didn't own a single pair on denim shorts. I'm sorry, but denim shorts are too much of a staple piece for me not to have in my wardrobe, and the amount of times I've thought to myself "you know what, this would look great with some high waisted denim shorts", well! They had to be my next purchase.

My first look post!

The sun has finally decided to rear it's beautiful head and for the first time this year, I left my house without my big bobbly coat! Although the weather reached a pleasant 16 degrees today (yes, that's considered warm here in Britain), I decided to stick to mostly a black outfit.

This is my first look post, so I have no idea how to pose in front of a (rubbish iPhone) camera. I did my best.

My mesh crop top can be found at Topshop. I tried this on about a month ago and really liked it but decided not to buy it. But when I found it in the sale just a couple of days ago for £12 (down from £26) I couldn't pass up the opportunity. My bouclé shorts were originally from H&M although I snapped them up for 99p (£3.99 including shipping) on eBay. My shoes were also off eBay, originally from Topshop, I got these bad boys for £25. I love eBay. And the leather jacket from Peacocks I have had for years!

Black is my comfort zone, and although it usually looks boring, I like to think that my mix of textures and patterns spiced up the look a little bit. And even though black isn't typically associated with spring, I thought that my (too short) shorts and skin baring mesh top would make up for the lack of summer in my outfit today. And let's be realistic, it's not like the sun was going to reach any blazing temperatures today. You know the kind, when that black jacket suddenly turns into a back burning torture device.

How did you enjoy the gorgeous weather today?
