Skirt: Vero Moda - £28.
Vest Top: George at Asda - £2.
Cardigan: Noa Noa - £30.
Bag: ASOS - £30.
I have used this bag so much recently and surprisingly it still looks almost as pristine as when I first got it. I guess I’m generally one of those people that’s quite careful with my things, I blame being an only child for that among a whole string of other things, but I don’t ever seem to be too fussy with putting my bags on the floor or stuffing them in my wardrobe haphazardly. So for an affordable, non-leather bag to have held up so well is amazing and this is why I love ASOS so much! 
Necklace: 16th birthday gift.
Earrings: ASOS - £6.
I still adore my initial necklace and I’ve barely taken it off since I found it hidden at the back of my jewellery box. Even though the photographs show them, these leaf earrings are still my current favourites and I never take my tiny heart ring off because it was a gift from my boyfriend for our last anniversary and I never feel like an outfit is quite complete without it. I know that’s really silly but because we’re so far apart I like having something from him close by all the time.
Foundation: Bourjois Healthy Mix - Shade 51 Light Vanilla.
Concealer: Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection - Light.
Blush: NARS Enchanted.
Mascara: Collection 2000 Big Fake.
Lips: Illamasqua Obey with a bit of Vaseline Rosy Lips on top.
Has anyone used the Aloe Protective serum from The Body Shop before? What did you think of it?

P.S. I’ve not been feeling quite my usual self for the past few weeks. You know when everything feels like it’s on top of you and you have a million and one things you need to do but all you really want to do is sleep until things get a little easier? That feeling and receiving some pretty horrible news has left me a bit dejected lately and although I’ve tried my hardest not to let that creep its way on to my blog, I seem to have annoyed some people anyway. I apologise for not always being cheery, but that’s just not me. I’m extremely shy & reserved in ‘real life’ and I’m also a big baby & I let things hit me hard. So you know, I’m sorry if I’ve bothered anyone.
Ohhhhhhh that skirt looks so fab! It's like it was made for you! Also loving your fresh face make up! So pretty! xo
ReplyDeleteYou look great Jennie, the skirt definitely suits you (:!<3
ReplyDeleteI love your earrings and makeup, it looks pretty and fresh :) The skirt looks lovely on you :)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better about things soon, I don't think you have to apologize its your blog and your space for you to write about whatever you like, and sometimes it helps to get things of your chest.

Sorry to hear you're feeling down. Hope things pick up soon! Chin up :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous skirt btw. I love the grey/blue colour.

love the outfit :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that skirt, it's absolutely lovely and so nice on you, it's a really nice fit. I am usually a 'dress' person but I've bought lots of skirts lately as they're good to wear with t-shirts or shirts for work; I am like you and have hips but I find high waisted skirts flattering for my shape. Your make up is really nice too, you look so fresh faced! I really need to learn more about make up, I just cannot seem to find the right shade of foundation for me at the moment :/

Lovely outfit and the makeup is perfect considering the good weather today. I really love those earrings too, might have to order them.
ReplyDeleteI also hope you feel less blue soon but you can't apologise for not always being cheery, you are a human not just a blog. Everyone is allowed to have off weeks and you shouldn't be ashamed to tell your readers that, even if you don't want to explain it we should all still care (I'm sure most just want you to be happy again).
Essay, sorry about that.
Aww its a shame your feeling a bit down. I go through stages when I just want to crawl up in a ball and try to forget my issues( mainly around exams.. ergh)
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to apologise, you wouldn't be human if you didn't have feelings:)
Tbh, I didn't notice a change in mood, so ignore those who are clearly that strange they analyse the mood of your posts. Weirdos:) x
love the earings! xx
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, skirts suit you! I hate feeling awkward in my clothes too. Hope you feel better sweetie :) xx
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job picking the skirt, it really suits you, it's a lovely colour :) I hope things are looking a little better :)
ReplyDeleteL x
Your make-up always looks so beautiful (: By the way, I still think people should piss off about the whole cheery thing. It's your blog and your feelings. Surely they've experienced shit in their life that's made them upset. Agh, really infuriates me. You're such a lovely lady. Anyway....I'm also a massive fan of sentimental jewellery :)
ReplyDelete@Victoria - Thank you!
ReplyDelete@Holly - <3
@little rambling rose - Thank you! <3
@Amy - Thank you! It is a really lovely colour, I don't have anything quite like it!
@Beccy - <3
@Rosie - It's nice to mix things up a bit sometimes isn't it! Thank you! Finding the right shade can be a pain, might be worth going to a counter and getting matched? :)
@Chlo - Thank you! love the earrings, you should definitely get them!
@Chelsey - <3

You look lovely Jennie, I love the different colours in your outfit :) And your makeup looks lovely, the bourjois foundation looks amazing on you x
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit, the skirt is gorgeous! I'm a big fan of high waisted skirts; they're the perfect shape if you're curvy, because they skim your hips but accentuate your waist - love them!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you've been feeling down lately :( I think we all get a bit like that now and then, I hope you start feeling better soon. And you really don't have to apologise for anything! xxx
Oh wow, I love this skit! And you've styled it beautifully here :) This is exactly the kind of outfit I love to wear.
ReplyDeleteAnd your makeup is gorgeous!

Loving the skirt think it really suits you :)
ReplyDeleteLove the skirt, looks great with the simple white top.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you've been having a hard time - you seem like such a positive upbeat person so I hope you feel back to your old self soon :) x
You look lovely, super stylish :). Your bag is gorgeous, I have been looking for something similar.

Firstly the outfit looks lovely, the skirt is very nice, I love Vera Moda. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteYour makeup is also lovely, I really like peachy blusher, it suits you.
Sorry to hear you've had bad news, you shouldn't feel the need to put on a brave face for your followers, it's your blog and you can write whatever you like. If people don't like it they shouldn't be following you. Don't apologise. <3
Hope you feel better soon lovely.
Wow, you look gorgeous! I love the dewy freshness of your skin. Good pick up on the bag, too.
ReplyDeletethe skirt suits you well, you look very cute in it. Hope things start to look up for you, we all go through bad patches. Keep a smile on your face

ReplyDeleteI've just bough a similar skirt from new look, so it's great to see how you've styled it! I really enjoy reading your blog, and I think this is the first time I've commented? It's cause I'm usually on my ipod reading blogs, so commenting is a faff, sorry! I love your make-up as well! Your so so pretty! I really enjoy reading your blog, and the way you style clothes is lovely:)

Aw, hopefully your just going through a bit of a funk and you'll be feeling better soon, besides, if I were you and I had that gorgeous collection of peachy make-up, (not to mention, beautiful face), I'd be cheered up (at least a little)!
ReplyDeleteAesthetic Lounge
the skirt is gorgeous and the high waist makes you look insanely skinny and your hips look tiny! good find.
ReplyDeleteI hate being in those moods, its like you can't put your finger on what needs done but you know there's so much.. Hope you feel better soon :)
Kat x
Also, did you use a lip liner with Obey or is that look just from the lipstick alone plus the vaseline?
ReplyDeleteAesthetic Lounge
so pretty that blush looks amazing on you xx
ReplyDeleteI really like your outfit, casual yet very girly.
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty and your makeup is so dewy and natural.
I agree with your with the Illamasqua cream blushes, they are so much better than the Nars's. I find my Nars cream blush so hard to apply :)
As a good cream I would definitely advice you the Embryolisse lait-crème, it's deeply moisturizing without leaving your face with a greasy feeling and makes your skin soooooo soft. It's my fav :)
@mimi - Aww thank you! No lip liner, just the lipstick :)
ReplyDelete@katchrista - Thank you!
@cowbiscuits - <3
@marilou - Thank you for the recommendation, I'll have to try it! :)
xoxo
beautiful, blue looks lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteLove that skirt on you, and your make up looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe J necklace is cute!

Gorgeous skirt! Hope your ok. It's your blog say what you want sometimes it helps to get it out there. Try not to let it get to you xoxo
ReplyDeleteYour skin looks amazing, what are you on about? I'm a tad jealous, can't lie. That skirt is gorgeous on you, good choice!
