Me and My Clothes

Two blogs that I follow (Another Ranting Reader and The Cardiff Cwtch) recently did this and Nia from A Cardiff Cwtch made it up, I believe (I might be wrong), so I thought I would do it! It seems like such a cool set of questions, so let's go!

What’s your go-to “I don’t have anything to wear!” outfit?

Literally what I wear every single day of my life, jeans and a jumper. I seem to have built up a rotation of about 5 different jumpers and jean combinations, which is probably a bad thing, to be
honest!

What’s the newest item hanging in your wardrobe?

I just bought a new jumper and stripy t-shirt from Primark and I love them quite a lot!

What do you do with clothes you don’t wear anymore?

Generally, i either give them to charity or to my sister, but my sister doesn't usually like my fashion sense so mainly charity but also my mum because we are the same size.

What’s your “Netflix and Chill” outfit?

I am going to take this literally and go with either pyjamas or a big hoody, jeans and fluffy socks.

What is your favourite item of clothing?

I used to have a bright orange dress which would be my go-to dress for any occasion. I suited it well (in my opinion) but not I have grown a bit, I don't fit it as well and it isn't very flattering which is such a shame so I am going to have to find another staple dress which looked as good on me!

What do you wear to bed?

Pyjamas, of course! My favourites at the moment are a matching pair of Alice in Wonderland pyjamas from primark which I adore so much!

Where are your favourite places to buy clothes?

Where to begin! Primark is always good, New Look is also fabulous, Zara is always good for those more expensive pieces that you know you will wear over and over, like my coat and H and M usually have a nice jumper or two. But if I am honest, Boohoo is a big favourite because you can always find clothes there. They have such a great range of clothes!

How often do you buy clothes?

I get a clothing allowance twice a year, October and April, and then if I need extra things, usually in the sales after Christmas, before holidays, after my birthday (April) and just before beginning a new academic year!

What specific items of clothing do you hate shopping for?

I love shopping and there are no specific clothes that I hate buying for it is just the whole process because I hate going into changing rooms because it is so much effort. If I had to choose one though, jeans, because they take forever to choose and try-on.

Are there any clothes or styles that you avoid?

I hate to say it but there are a few. I have never delved into the world of bootleg or straight jeans because although they look amazing on some people. they never used to look that good on my and I am way more of a skinny jeans kind of girl. Also, maxi dresses have never particularly suited me, not because of the length but more because I don't have much of a bust so it looks a bit to bin bag-like on me! Also, not intentionally, but bomber jackets. I haven't owned or ever tried one on so I may be wrong, but I have just never seen one that reflected me

Comfort or Style?

Comfort, by far - If it is cold outside, I will replan my outfit so I am warm and it goes okay under my coat so I don't wear my longer cardigans which is a same, but it saves me from freezing.

If there anything you’ve bought that friends or family turned their noses up at?

I don't think that there is any particluar piece of clothing. You always get the jokes about what you're wearing but nothing that meant people turn their nose up at me.
