Awful OOTD/My Body

Hello everyonee!

First of all I'd like to apologise for this truly awful attempt at an OOTD post, but I'd thought I'd give you an insight into what I actually wear, considering pretty much every post on here is about hair and beauty :)

Both my dress and blouse are from Primark (woo) and I just left the blouse open and knotted it at the waist

I don't really have a 'style'. I'm about 5ft8/9 but with a size 12 (sometimes even 14 eek) figure to boot so I can't really do the cutesy petite thing or the tall and skinny thing. I wish I could call my style sophisticated (what with being called Sophie and all..hahaha awkward joke) but I'm more than happy to wear a pair of jeans and a baggy jumper.

I used to have a tshirt from Zara that said 'It's not the content, it's the style, and I'm content with my style' although I never really have been content with my style! Growing up I never really knew how to dress for my figure, at all. Sometimes I think I still don't but at least I know that I will never be one of those girls that can pull off a bodycon skirt (I do NOT have the thighs!) 

When I was younger I was a right chubster and whilst I lost a lot of the 'puppy fat' in Year 9 (so when I was about 14) I still am a 'curvy' girl. That word will forever make me cringe but it's who I am and it seems that no matter how much I work out or live off carrot sticks I will always be this way so I guess I've learnt to live with  it. Maybe.

My favourite shops are Primark, H&M and Topshop, although I find Topshop stupidly overpriced and even now it seems that sometimes H&M is cheaper than Primark (lol what?) 

What's your 'style'? Do you even have one? Let me know!

Homemade OOTD And Mini Ramble :)

Hey everyone!

Firstly hello to my new followers and thank you for following me :) I went to PC World yesterday and got my camera replaced, can I just say their extended warranty is THE best (however you're apparently not covered if you break your camera in a fit of rage!) and I walked out with a brand new camera! Yay for fabby customer service! 

I also finally plucked up the courage to get my ear cartilage pierced. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it did so I'm so glad I finally got it done. 

On to the OOTD. This is probably one of the only OOTDs you'll ever see as my clothes aren't particularly interesting and it's hard taking pictures of them you know! The story behind this one is that after exams my evenings were pretty dead, so I thought I'd make myself some new outfits, a dress and a playsuit.

I LOVE playsuits so much. They're just really cute but the problem I find is that because I stand at 5ft 9, I have quite a long torso, so sometimes playsuits ride up a bit (so very unflattering!). And what better way to solve this than to make one myself (excuse dodgy angles)

It's got short bottoms (but I didn't want to show you my pasty legs!) and cap sleeves. It even has pockets (proud moment right there)

What do you think? Have you ever made any of your own clothes? 

Love Sophie xx
