Aloha my lovelies!<br />
<br />
Welcome to the <strike>all new</strike> partially new NotSoPlainJayne! Whilst it's been an embarrassingly long time since my last post I'm finally back. And what better way to celebrate than a bit of a design makeover? I'm planning on a layout change sometime in the near future too so keep an eye out of that. Also here's a completely unrelated photo of flowers. You're welcome.<br />
<br />
Since my last post way back in October a lot of stuff has probably changed. The biggest thing being that I have finished my degree. It honestly hasn't sunk in yet. Even typing it feels weird. However now I'm stuck in this weird state of non student/ non adult confusion since my Graduation ceremony isn't until the end of October. The idea of actually having to face being a proper adult is way more scary than I ever thought it would be.<br />
<br />
What does this mean for Not So Plain Jayne? Well, hopefully it means that my posts will start to be slightly more regular than 8 months. I've got loads of posts all written up and ready to go. It's just the task of taking the photos that proves rather difficult - aka. I am unorganized. Nothing new there though right?<br />
<br />
In summary, I got a cool new header and I am back blogging for the foreseeable future. Yay.<br />

Aloha my lovlies!<br />
<br />
Who is this you might ask? Well as I hang my head in shame I'm just checking in to say that am in fact still alive, despite seemingly dropping off the face of the earth for almost 2 months. I'm not going to bore you by making excuses as to why I've been away so long. I guess I just really suck at time management. Please don't think I've forgotten about NotSoPlainJayne. I assure you I've been itching to get back into blogging for weeks now. The problem is that I always want to be able to supply you with the best quality content possible, from photography to the written words. Being such a perfectionist has it's downfalls you know.<br />
<br />
So where do I start? I've just begun my third year of my undergraduate degree which is daunting enough by itself. If you didn't know I'm a Musical Theatre student at Chichester Univeristy. Despite the huge stigma that performance degree's aren't a proper degree my course is anything but 'easy' (Don't even get me started. Such rage) I would like to see most people on so called 'proper' degrees manage the physical and emotional stresses of doing several dance classes a day as well as singing lessons, not to mention all the of behind the scenes effort including rehearsing, hours of research and remembering to breathe every now and again. Oh and in addition to all that try learning 21 different parts for the same show. (Seriously I told you not to get me started...this is what happens #stageyandproud)<br />
<br />
Way back in August my blog celebrated it's first blogiversary & I honestly can't believe that it's been over an entire year already.It's been a huge year for first's, I tried my dab hand at some beauty focused blogging as well a couple of reviews and the odd advice piece. Looking back at some of my first posts I have to admit I cringe a little. The dodgy photography & overly processed edits are too much for me to handle, not to mention my writing style made me sound like an absolute loon. My style has changed so much since the beginning & I love the direction that my blog is heading in. It's crazy to think how nervous I was as I was designing my first layout & to say I look mortified in my photos would be an understatement. It sounds so silly but having my blog has really opened my eyes to a whole host of career paths that I'd never considered before. Fashion is still a huge part of my life and continues to dominate my brain ( much to the disgruntlement of my poor bank account). I've got so many ideas for up coming projects and really can't wait to get stuck in. Having a blog is like having a a public style diary. I love the fact that I can scroll back and see what I was wearing this time last year and compare it with my sense of style now.<br />
<br />
WARNING: Here comes the soppy bit. One year on and 20,000 views later I never could have imagined what a positive response I would get. Obviously without you lovely folks then I probably wouldn't have even bothered to continue with this whole thing, so this is me saying a massive thank you to anyone who has ever read my blog. Weather that be as a one off when you got seriously bored or every post without fail. I really am so grateful for all your support over the last year & I promise I'll continue to make NotSoPlainJayne the best it can be.I think what I have to remember is the reason I started my blog in the first place. For fun. I'ts not like I'm being paid to do it ( although any offers would be lovely). Essentially It's just my way of sharing what I love. Yes, there are still many things I want to improve on ( Blog photography, Sticking to upload dates, stop using so many exclamation marks etc.) But my blog has already been through a whirlwind transformation over the last 14 months and here's hoping that the next year will bring bigger and better things!<br />

Aloha my lovelies!<br />
<br />
I'm sure we can all be agreed that I am pretty terrible at sticking to my upload schedule. Unfortunately it seems I have about as many time management skills as a rubber duck. I'll get back on track soon. Pinky promise.<br />
<br />
On to the outfit!I'm more than aware than wearing all white is certainly not the most practical trend, but if you want to show off your tan then I say go for it! It's also a difficult one to master, too much and you could look like a milk bottle! The trick is to make sure that the shades of white are similar. There's nothing worse than getting a new white top and wearing it with your 'white' skirt which ends up looking a bit of a grubby grey colour in comparison. Not a good look. It''s always nice if you can accessories with some token piece of jewelry to break it up a bit ( although I can't do this because I left my entire jewelry collection at home. Clever Laura) but even without it I reckon this look is a minimalists dream come true.<br />
<br />
My current major obsession is Bardot everything (Or a gypsy style in English) .Weather that be dresses, tops, you name it, I'm in love with it. I'm sure you'll see many a Bardot appearing on the blog in the next couple of weeks, I think the cut is so flattering on my broad frame and oozes class. This white 3/4 sleeve number was a bargain at only £10 in the River Island sale! Plus it's great for transitioning into Autumn by adding a Shealing coat, jeans and a pair of ankle boots. Gosh how sad is it that I'm even having to contemplate dressing for the cold weather again. It seems Summer has come and gone in the blink of an eye. I'm in need of lots more Vitamin D (and top up tanning plz) So I haven't given up hope of the sun returning just yet.<br />
<br />
I cannot even begin to explain how long it's taken me to find a pair of white bottoms that suited me. I've been through Jeans, Plazzo pants, Culottes, the list goes on. Finally I came across these tapered beauties after popping in to Dorothy Perkins on a bit of a whim. They fit like a dream and are so damn comfortable plus the fact that they're not see through is an added bonus. Tapered trousers are always perfect for creating that smart/casual look which I'm really feeling right now. My sliders have been my go to shoes this summer and they really help to dress down this outfit, making it perfect for everyday wear.<br />
<br />
Okay so I know my sunnies aren't white but yolo. I'm bowled over by the difference in the quality of these compared with the many pairs of highstreet counterparts I've owned. Read more about my sunglasses nightmare in <a href="http://notsoplainjayne9595.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/day-to-night-casual-chic.html" target="_blank">last weeks post</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Are you feeling the total white out?<br />

Aloha my lovelies!<br />
<br />
After an entire months hiatus I'm finally back with a day to night special! I'm a huge fan of versatile pieces as you really can make the most of your wardrobe. It's always essential to have a few day to night items since you never know when you're going to be invited on a spontaneous night out and need something to wear (or vice versa when you're getting up the morning after). Today's post in going to focus on the day time outfit and how I style casual chic.<br />
<br />
Let's talk about the star of the show: the trousers. I'm totally in love with the idea of buying clothes from other countries because you can always find something unique and chances are nobody else will have them when you arrive home again! It might surprise you to know that these bad boys are actually a jumpsuit and that it only does up with ties. Honestly I can't get over how clever it is! Unless you've been living under a rock you'll be aware that the 70's have been all the rage this Summer, meaning flared <i>everything</i>. *heart eyes emoji* which means wearing this piece as trousers is ticking all the right boxes for tackling this seasons hottest trend. Combined with this pastel blue crop top from Ark this outfit screams casual chic and could easily be worn whilst wandering the winding streets of an island or when hitting the high street in the UK.<br />
<br />
Summer 2015 has definitely not been my year for sunglasses. In the last few months I've been through 4 pairs..4! Partly because I am massively accident prone (I stood on them..) however the majority were generally poor quality and lasted less than a month. I came to the conclusion that I should invest in a pair of designer specs in the hope that they would last a bit longer, however, I can't say I've got a spare £120 lying around, so for the last few weeks I've been squinting my way through the days of bright sunshine. That was until I took a cheeky visit to TK Maxx. Oh lord it's wonderful. I had gone in looking for some homeware bits and didn't even realise they sold sunglasses in the first place. I was overjoyed to discover these Michael Kors beauties for a fraction of their original RRP. I briefly had a pair of tortoise shell frames and was obsessed with them. They're a real statement print without becoming overpowering.<br />
<br />
I can't even begin to tell you how long it took me to find a pair of sliders that fit. Since my feet so so tiny (3 &1/2) and wider than the pacific ocean, nothing is ever simple when it comes to shoes. It wasn't until the day before my holiday when the desperation set in. In a last ditch attempt to find anything I popped over to my local tesco and there they were. These beautiful yet simplistic sliders that fit wonderfully. The cross over detailing was everything I had wanted and the gold studs down the side add such a nice finishing touch. For only £10 they really were a bargain that I'm more than happy with!<br />
<br />
There we have it, the first part of my day to night series. Check back later in the week to see the night time transformation. It's a good un!<br />
<br />
What are your go to day to night pieces?<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've started wearing this look on pretty much an everyday basis so I thought I'd share it with you in this tutorial/Mini review. If you're a regular follower of my blog then you'll notice that some of the products shown we have stayed in my routine since my Everyday Make Up post back in January which you can read <a href="http://notsoplainjayne9595.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/everyday-makeup-1.html" target="_blank">here</a>. However there's quite a few new additions (mainly Soap and Glory) so I thought I'd do a quick run down on my thoughts towards my latest additions to my everyday makeup!<br />
<br />
<b><u>L'Oreal Nude Magique CC Cream</u></b><br />
Now that it's the height of summer it's always best to go light on the base - since nobody wants heavy cakey foundation sliding all over their face. Ew. I've opted to go for this CC Cream by L'oreal. It comes in three different formulations which are all designed to do different jobs. I chose the one that is made for dull skin, as I always love that dewy lite from within glow without looking oily. This does exactly what it says on the packet and provides me with a wonderful light/medium coverage and a gorgeous radiant shine.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Soap & Glory DIY Brow Kit & Benefit Gimme Brow</u></b><br />
This is definitely the best my eyebrows have ever looked. Finally I've managed to find a shape that works for me without any heavy overdrawing or rigorous plucking. I've mentioned before that I love a good full brow look and I've found that using a combination of the Soap and Glory DIY Brow Kit and the Benefit Gimme Brow helps me achieve this. I begin with the brow kit to lightly fill in the sparse areas of my brows and enhance the shape then I simply comb through with the Gimme Brow to set them in place.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette</u></b><br />
I started dabbling in eye shadow after having my make up done at the Benefit counter back in February and since then I've been hooked! I then got the Naked 3 palette for my Birthday and only just got round to using it. For this look I used 'Limit'<span style="color: red;"> </span>which is a beautiful matte dusky pink shade as a base colour then applied 'Dust'<span style="color: red;"> </span>to the inside corners and blended it out to the middle of the lid in order to brighten the eyes. Next I took a bit of 'Factory'<span style="color: red;"> </span>on a angled liner brush and applied a thin line underneath my eyes before swapping to a larger fluffy brush and blending the same colour into the outside corner and along the crease to create a subtle smokey eye effect. This look is perfect for this time of year as the combination of colours really remind me of a Summer Sunset. The formulation of all these colours is silky and applies like a dream to the lids, not to mention the pigmentation is just glorious. I have no doubt I'm going to be experimenting a lot with this palette in the future and it's got me itching to purchase the other two in the collection. #BeautyBloggerProblems.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Barry M Contour Kit</u></b><br />
I'd been doing a bit of research into the best drugstore contour kits, since unfortunately the Charlotte Tilbury 'Bronze and Glow' palette is a little bit too far outside my budget *cries* however I came across this Barry M product whilst I was at the till. It was half price so I bought it on a bit of a whim and much to my surprise I'm pretty impressed with the results. It contains a 3 step contour guide but if I'm totally honest I only use the darkest contour shade. It works so much better than using bronzer as the powder is darker and more matte, helping to create that shadow effect needed to make a perfectly sculpted contour look.<br />
<br />
This look couldn't be completed without my well loved MAC Velvet Teddy<a href="http://notsoplainjayne9595.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/review-mac-velvet-teddy-lipstick.html" target="_blank"> (See my review here) </a>. It truly has become my go to lipstick for everyday wear and compliments overall look by creating a contrast with the glowy skin. I then set everything in place with the Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist. It has a lovely scent and is super hydrating which is always a must when you're on the go in the sun.<br />
<br />
So there we have it, My Summer Sunset make up! What are you loving in the world of beauty? Let me know your recommendations in the comments.</div>

Aloha my lovelies!<br />
<br />
It's no big secret that Glastonbury is the hottest festival of the year and now that we're into the thick of this seasons biggest events I thought I'd pay a little homage to this classic look. Honestly I've never seen the appeal of festivals. Not washing for days on end whilst being covered in mud is definitely not my idea of fun, however I'll admit that this year I've been itching to experience the festival vibes. Who knows, maybe next year I'll finally take the plunge?<br />
<br />
I don't even know where to start with this outfit. I simple adore it. Everything from the lace up top to the fringed zips on the bum bag screams festival. Usually I'm not big on wearing black but I've found that accessorizing with it can actually be fun. Creating this look has really widened my eyes to a whole new style that I'd never really considered before.<br />
<br />
Kimono's are such a staple part of a typical festival get up and I totally see why. They're light and airy and such a nice way of layering for the hot weather. This one from River Island is so beautiful. It's the perfect addition to this outfit because there's so many intricate details in the pattern and pretty much every colour under the sun, meaning it's so easy to match with pretty much anything!<br />
<br />
I am actually obsessed with these shoes. I spied them in Topshop last week whilst I was in town looking for some bits and pieces for my Holiday and I have legit worn them everyday since. They're ridiculously comfortable which makes them practical for everyday wear. The open ankle strap back and peep toe make a great statement for Summer and seriously remind me of one of my style icons Sammi from BeautyCrush. Of course I added my much loved hat to protect my head from the sun, although I'm sure in an actual festival it would be yanked off my head within a few minutes! Ah the things we do for fashion.<br />

Now that we're getting into the thick of holiday season I'm getting majorly jealous of the scenic beach photos and gorgeously sun kissed tans that keep popping up on my Facebook newsfeed. In order to console my ever envious mind I decided to purchase a few bits that will at least let me feel as if I'm on holiday. Only 20 days to go Laura... You can do this. This outfit really is me in my finest element. Oversized sun hat, chic culottes and a pair of nude courts is the way to go this Summer. I just can't get enough of New Look. It seems that every time I wander in there's at least 10 things I want to buy there and then. I bought this mac a few months ago now but just haven't had the chance to feature it on the blog yet! It's seriously been my go to coat for the transition between Spring and Summer. Admittedly for a long time I always associated trench coats with 'Doctor Who' but this one has completely converted me. The light fabric and neutral colour make it ideal for throwing on with almost any outfit. If that's not a good investment then I don't know what is! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This culotte jumpsuit is all I could ever want. It's such a flattering fit for my curvy figure and I adore the vibrant and punchy leaf pattern which just completely depicts summer for me. Perfect for a meal out with friends or a day out in town. This piece is so versatile and can easily be dressed down with a pair of sliders and an oversized shirt. Ones things for certain - this is 1000% coming on holiday with me! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now many of you may be aware that it's not often I mention Primark here on NotSoPlainJayne, however, this hat is in need of a shout out. I really think it looks so much more expensive than it is. I adore the organza-esque style strips and general cutesyness* of it,. You can never go wrong with white accessories so pairing it with this gorgeous leather bag from Topshop is a match made in heaven. Of course the nude courts came out to play again. They're such an effortless way of dressing up a simple outfit. Not to mention easy to walk in and don't hurt even after several hours of wear. Yaaaaas.</div>

Aloha my lovelies!<br />
<br />
So I'm a little bit late with my 'Spring Cleaning' process since it's already almost half way through June. Whoops. However, the entire purpose of <strike>Spring cleaning</strike> a wardrobe sort out is to decide what you actually wear and to determine whats missing from your collection. Right now I'm just in the midst of purchasing some pieces for my Holiday to Tenerife next month, and with one glace at my currently existing closet I can safely say it's going to become a complete overhaul! Today I'm going to share with you my top tips & tricks for whittling down your wardrobe.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>01. Does it fit?</b><br />
I remember when I was a child my Mum would often buy clothing from the next size range up insisting that eventually we would 'grow into them'. Now that I'm older it's obvious that this was usually a money saving scheme although in the end there was quite an abundance of clothes that were never worn because they had been forgotten about. So why is it as adults we continue to keep pieces that don't fit <i>just yet?</i> I think it's great to have personal goals to slim down enough to reap the rewards of finally fitting into that pair of shorts, so long as that isn't half of your wardrobe. I'd say have a maximum of 2/3 pieces which you will realistically be able to fit in. Otherwise surely it's best to free up some space for new pieces that you know you can rock!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>02. When was the last time you wore it? </b><br />
I'll put my hands up and say I'm definitely guilty of this one. I have too many items that I try to convince myself I'll wear this year, only to not even give them so much as a thought when it comes to choosing my outfit for the day. Next time you're having a sort out, consider the last time you actually wore the piece. If it was over 2 years ago then chances are that it's not going to make a reappearance and isn't a piece that you have much desire to wear. If you haven't worn it for a while it's best to cut your losses and get rid. I'm positive you'll be able to fill that gap with something much more you in no time!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>03. Is it still in keeping with your personal style?</b><br />
I can guarantee that we've all had that one item of clothing that has been in and out of the 'get rid of' pile more times than the Peter Andre on reality TV. What is it that makes you keep going back to it? More often than not there isn't a real reason other than <i>'I just like it'.</i> I'm not suggesting that just because something is a little bit different from your usual style that it should be completely outcast, since it's always fun to experiment with cuts and fits. Sometimes we need a little kick up the bum to let go of nostalgic pieces that perhaps don't reflect you and the way you like to dress anymore. Once you've adiosed it chances are you won't even realise it's gone.<br />
<br />
<b>04. Tidy Wardrobe, Tidy Mind.</b><br />
It's true what they say about the cleanliness of your closet being linked with you general peace of mind. One of my mama's favourite sayings is 'You can't see the wood for the trees' (let me know if this is a generally well known saying). It basically means if your overcrowded with stuff you won't be able to take in the whole picture. Applying this quote to your wardrobe is a key way of sorting what you want. If your closet is cluttered then your mind may be too preoccupied trying to scan through mountains of clothing to actually create an outfit that you're happy with. Ending in an okayish look and a frustrated and flustered fashionista. This is why it is so important to decide what you really need in your wardrobe and what it's time to say farewell to. Trust me your brain will love you for it.<br />
<br />
So there we have it, My top tips for sorting your wardrobe! Do let me know if this is helpful to any of you - I'd love some feedback.

Aloha my lovelies!<br />
<br />
Long time no see! Honestly I feel a little bit out of the loop with the blogging community, but now that University is over until September I can't wait to get back into having a proper schedule again.<br />
The other day I went out in this outfit to which my Dad replied 'You need to get out in the sun a bit more'. So yes, I am aware that right now I am a ghost. Fingers crossed the good weather is here to stay so that I can catch some rays! I've been so busy recently that I couldn't even remember the last time I went shopping which is pretty much unheard of. Since I'm finally at home I got the chance to nip into town and pick up a few bits and bobs.<br />
<br />
I've had an obsession with suede for as long as I can recall, so this cami instantly ticks all the right boxes. Camel is huge this season and such a nice change from your staple black or white. I must admit I've never been a massive fan of fringing or the whole 'festival' look but there's something about this top that really caught my eye. The main plus point for me with this piece is that the fringing starts just above my waist, meaning it drapes beautifully and really accentuates my curves. It's also a great basic to have in my collection because it can easily be dressed up or down and paired with so many pieces. For today's outfit I decided on some classic high waisted Joni jeans and a long line crochet cardigan for a casual day time look.<br />
<br />
I adore this cardigan. I've seen a lot of them around and about recently so I finally bit the bullet and bought one. It's essentially the Spring/Summer continuation of the duster coat and for under £20 the quality is on point, not to mention it's a fantastic way of adding some layering without causing your to overheat due to the light and airy knitted texture. It's sleeveless design and delicate crochet detailing is perfect for the run up to the height of summer. The subtle side splits come as an added bonus - providing easy maneuverability.<br />
<br />
Let's not forget the accessories - Starting with these easy little slip ons form New Look. I purchased them a couple of years ago now and are pretty much on their way out, however, I've got my eyes on a pair of those lace up gladiator sandals that are all over the highstreet right now. For now they compliment this outfit wonderfully and really help to tie the whole look together. A pair of sunnies were an obvious mandatory piece. A gal can never have too many!<br />
<br />
What are your Summer staples?<br />

Aloha my lovelies!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I mentioned a couple of weeks back that my sister very kindly bought me a MAC voucher for Christmas so I purchased two of their most coveted lipstick shades. I’ve already reviewed <a href="http://notsoplainjayne9595.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/review-mac-velvet-teddy-lipstick.html" target="_blank">‘Velvet Teddy’</a> and this gave me high expectations for arguably one of their bestselling products; Russian Red. It was actually quite a big tossup between Russian Red and Ruby Woo – however after mulling over the MAC website for a good week I finally made a decision.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It comes in the standard MAC packaging which I adore. It’s so chic and classic looking which really sets it apart from its drugstore dupes. This applies beautifully to the lips and doesn’t have the drying effect like many other matte lipsticks. Russian Red is a striking blue toned red which I feel would be suited to a wide range of skin tones. It's great for creating a gorgeous 1950's pin up look. The formula is impressively long lasting – although it is prone to wearing off after food so it’s a good idea to keep it to hand if you’re planning on wearing it out. I wore it for my summer ball last week as it really made a statement in contrast with the white dress. If you’re interested in what I wore this year then why not check out <a href="http://notsoplainjayne9595.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/outfit-summer-ball-style.html" target="_blank">last week’s outfit post</a>?</div>
<br /></div>
Apologies that the content has been pretty sporadic
recently. I’ve been in intensive rehearsals for my production of ‘Sweeney Todd’
from 9am-9pm everyday with my degree course. You see, sometime I do that
performance thing... Fingers crossed things should be getting back to normal by
the start of next month!<br />

Aloha my lovelies!<br />
<br />
I've mentioned before that it's very rare that I get to go out much sine my course is so hectic, however on Friday we had our University's 'Summer Ball'. It's definitely the social event of the year and most people spend a good couple of months planning their outfits. Last year the Summer Ball actually fell on my birthday, however I was so unorganised that I ended purchasing my dress on the day whilst frantically running around town trying to put the entire outfit together! This year I wanted to make sure I was 100% prepared, since I was going to be preoccupied with my singing, dance & acting assessments all week. If you follow me on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/PlainJayne95/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>then you will have seen the endless amount of dresses/jumpsuits/playsuits etc. that I had on there. At one point there was over 50 different pieces! Slowly but surely I managed to whittle it down and ordered a couple of items. When it came to deciding what to wear I knew I wanted to go for a completely different look from last year. Summer Ball 2014 was all about the cute girly feel. This time I wanted to go for something classy and mature looking (not at all cheese like though).<br />
<br />
I've always been on the chubby side so body con's have never been an option, however, this was the first time I've ever had the confidence to take the plunge and try one and by some miracle it didn't look half bad! I think the slight pleat across the stomach was what sold it for me, since it wasn't skin tight stretchy fabric that clings to every little lump and bump. The fit really was so flattering on my shape. The only minor problem was that the plunge neckline didn't quite accommodate for my large bust however this was easily solved when an emergency safety pin came to the rescue. I know that white is definitely not the safest option when surrounded by 2,000 drunk students with drinks in their hands but I was so drawn to this piece I just couldn't resist! Thankfully no drinks were spilled, the only marks were of my own doing when I somehow managed to get lipstick on it! I adore the intricate lace detailing on the back - it's so elegant and helps to make the piece stand out from the crowd.<br />
<br />
Accessory wise I didn't quite know what I was going for until I entered New Look and there they were, sitting on the display, the perfect pieces to go with my dress. I swear that they had been put there on purpose just so that I was buy them. Pastel blue hadn't really ever crossed my mind so I was over the moon to find both shoes and bag in the same place! This little over the shoulder bag was the perfect size to take everything I needed with me Due to the halterneck style of the dress there was no need for a necklace, and the only rings I own are silver. Therefore I decided to go all out by adding a good old slick of MAC's Russian Red Lipstick.<br />
<br />
So there we have it, my Summer Ball Style 2015! All I can say is roll on next year.<br />

Aloha my lovelies!<br />
<br />
Now I don't know about you, but I am the worst when it comes to shopping. I can easily spend hours trying on various pieces and come back with bags of clothes, much to my bank accounts disgruntlement, only to then sit in my wardrobe untouched. In the past I've definitely made a few impulse buys and then forgotten about them until they're no longer returnable. Over the years I've begun to become a lot more selective with my purchases. Here's my guide to a few things you should consider before parting with your pennies.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<b>01. Be Realistic</b><br />
Will you really not be able to survive without buying it? Chances are if you're deliberating then there is already a seed of doubt in your mind. One of the best ways to tell if you truly <i>need </i>it is if you keep going back to it every time you're in store. Another thing to consider is does it actually suit you? Too many times I've bought something without it really looking very flattering, ending up with the piece being left hanging in the back of my closet.<br />
<br />
<b>02. Set yourself a deadline</b><br />
This is a trick that I learned from Lily Melrose (<a href="http://www.llymlrs.com/" target="_blank">LLYMLRS</a>) many moons ago and has actually become one of my holy grail rules when it comes to shopping. The basic concept is that you set yourself a time limit (within the returns policy time frame) to wear whatever it is you have bought and if you don't wear it within that time then you return it. For example - I always set myself 2 weeks, as I feel that this is more than enough time to see if it makes it into my everyday wear. I've found that it really does work. Since using this approach I've actually returned quite a number of pieces and not felt a hint of regret. Of course this rule excludes occasion wear or seasonal pieces bought in the sales since I don't expect to be wearing a bikini in the middle of winter!<br />
<br />
<b>03. Think of at least 3 ways to wear it</b><br />
Again, I know this isn't entirely applicable to everything you buy, but I make sure that a large majority of my wardrobe is versatile in being able to dress it up or down as well as suitable for a number of seasons. This means that you'll be able to make the most of your purchases and really get your monies worth out of them.<br />
<b><br /></b><b>04. Do you already have something similar?</b><br />
All to often we can find ourselves drifting into a bit of a clothing rut where we end up with about 5 slightly different variations of the same top without even realising. Of course it's not a problem if you happen to like a particular style, but do you really have to buy another oversized tee?<br />
<br />
<b>05. Think of what else you could use the money for</b><br />
This is another habit I've recently taken on board. It's all very well going into Primark and getting loads of stuff for your money, but how long will it last? Wouldn't it be better if you only bought one or two bigger investment pieces that you know you'll get you monies worth out of? This doesn't mean I'm completely discouraging Primark or any 'cheaper' shops as I love a good bargain as much as the next person! The key is to buy in moderation.<br />
<br />
So there we have it! My 5 things to consider before buying! Hopefully this will help give you gudance on curbing your impulse spending habits & leave you with a fabulous versatile wardrobe! Let me know your top tips for saving!<br />

Aloha my lovelies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you may have noticed my style has changed quite a bit over the last few weeks. I've been taking some heavy inspiration from bloggers such as Victoria (<a href="http://www.inthefrow.com/" target="_blank">InTheFrow</a>) and Sammi from <a href="http://www.beautycrush.co.uk/" target="_blank">BeautyCrush</a>. Nowadays I'm all about creating a minimalistic look with a sophisticated edge and this loose fitting top tucked into these beautiful cigarette trousers ticks all the boxes when it comes to effortless chic. It's such a classic combination that works so well for everyday. These trousers have proved to be a serious nuisance when it comes to trying to photograph them! None the less I still adore the iridescent shine and Japanese inspired pattern. They're so unique and are a great essential part of my Spring wardrobe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

If you're a follower of my <a href="http://instagram.com/plainjayne95/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> then you will have seen that I posted a photo a while back whilst searching for the perfect pair of nude courts. I found these beauties in New Look after trying on more pairs than I care to admit! I particularly love the cut away inside - it's so flattering on my wide feet, not to mention they're super comfy and help to elongate my short podgy legs. There's something about court shoes that makes me feel so much more put together, probably because they make the clip clop sound when I walk. You can wear them with pretty much anything and they'll instantly give your outfit a whole load of glam, which is always a good thing in my eyes! Of course the look wouldn't be complete without my pink coat. I can't even express how glad I am for spying it in the sale.</div>

Aloha my lovelies!<br />
<br />
Today we're having a breakthrough on NotSoPlainJayne....I ventured outdoors. *Soz about the anti climax there*. So despite what you see I am actually quite an outdoorsy kind of girl. During the Easter holidays I took the opportunity to go on as many walks as I possibly could whilst I was at home with my family. I finally bit the bullet & decided that I could make my first attempt at having my photos taken by somebody else in public. My god was it awkward! I literally dumped my sister with my camera and asked her to take them as quickly as possible once I'd checked that there wasn't anybody watching. I admire all those bloggers who can quite confidently have their photographs taken on the street!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
On to the outfit! We were lucky to get such gorgeous blue skies, however it was still deceptively cold outside. Layering was definitely key in the look. The base of the outfit is pretty monochrome - consisting of my much loved FROW tee & of course, my black Joni jeans. You may recognize that I do in fact already own this jumper in burgundy. Well to tell the truth I loved it that much that I just have to buy it in the grey too! I did spend quite a fair amount of time deliberating weather it was worth purchasing. The answer to that is a resounding heck yes. Since buying it I've literally worn it none stop. Grey is such a great neutral colour and pretty much goes with anything & everything.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm so gutted that I forgot to get a close up of my bag. No doubt you'll see it crop up in some future OOTD's. Since I received it from my Aunt & Uncle for Christmas it's been my go to everyday bag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Anyone who knows me will be able to tell you that I am literally the biggest crazy cat lady you'll ever meet. I'm being deadly serious. I could talk for days about why this bag is so fantastic. I was delighted to see that the colours were spot on for matching with my outfit. I'm planning on doing a 'What's in my bag' post soon though so I'll save all those details for then!</div>
<br />
You aren't ready for a walk until the CAT boots are out. Since their primary function is for walking/hiking they were the obvious choice. Camel is going to be <i>huge </i>this season & adds a nice splash of colour to an otherwise very black and white canvas. In true NotSoPlainJayne style I had to add in my signature splash of pink. This coat has served me so well in the weeks since I've bought it. I came to the realization that I didn't own any 'light' coloured scarves. So naturally I had to invest in the beaut from Topshop. Retailing at £18 it was a pretty big splurge for something you wear around your neck. I regret nothing. For the money you actually get so much material that it could easily double up as a cape/picnic blanket. It really is that big. Not to mention the quality is on point. I feel like it really ties the whole outfit together nicely.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Long time no speak. As you may have noticed I've had a bit of a break from the blog for a couple of weeks. It was getting to the point in the Semester where everything at Uni can become quite overwhelming. It's actually been nice to catch up with my family over the Easter holidays and just chill. ( I also took advantage of the insanely good lighting yayay) Everybody need little refresh every now and again and now I'm back and raring to go!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On a positive note, the sun is finally making an appearance (Hallelujah! *insert hands up emoji*) Which gives me the perfect excuse to whip out this quirky number! I can't believe I've never thought to wear this piece in the daytime before. Normally it's reserved for the very rare occasions that I get to go out to town paired with some chunky heels and a clutch. It really is the perfect fit for me, cinching in beautifully to accentuate my waist. The gird print is really eye catching ( although I wouldn't recommend you stare at it too long or it beings to look like one of those optical illusions) and so different to anything else in my wardrobe. I'm such a massive fan of playsuits. They're perfect for those warmer days by the beach as you don't have to worry about the breeze giving anybody more than they bargained for!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
By throwing on an oversized denim shirt and my chunky CAT boots the look is easily wearable for everyday. I'm a little too excited about the fact that the buttons on the shirt are almost an exact match for the colour of the boots too. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I actually won this adorable little necklace from Lyla Loves a couple of weeks back and in truth I haven't taken it off since receiving it! I love how elegant and delicate it is. It's such high quality as well. I'd high recommend you go check out their website, I know I'm certainly going to have a gander after pay day! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Side note: Does anybody else get those weird little sparse patches on both sides of their forehead when they tie their hair up? Please tell me I'm not the only one?! Anyways that's the end of today blog post and hopefully everything should be back to normal as of today. Let me know what sort of posts you like to see over the next couple of weeks & I'll see what I can do! </div>

I totally forgot that I hadn't posted the rest of the photos from my shoot in London last month! This outfit screams sophistication and class which I adore. Despite the pieces being rather minimalist I think the combination of the midi with my wonderful laser cut heels is so chic. I love that with the right accessories it's so easy to take pieces from my everyday wardrobe to create such a timeless look. This outfit would be perfect for a spring wedding as the mixture of grey and blue hues paired with white accessories are perfect for this time of year. </div>

If you're a regular follower of my blog then you're remember I have been singing praises for court shoes this month. Gone are the days of thick and heavy platforms and in come light and dainty courts to take their place! If there's one thing that depicts spring to me - it's these! I'd definitely recommend everyone purchasing a decent pair as I can see them becoming a wardrobe staple this season. Honestly this grey crop top has been one of the best investments I've made in a long time. Since the weather is still a bit undecided this top is the perfect solution to keeping your arms that little bit warmer whilst still looking glamorous. </div>

I'm literally so excited that it's getting towards midi skirt season again. A line Midi's are literally one of my favourite items of clothing. I think they work great for girls like myself who aren't confident to wear the skin tight knee length type. I find them so demure and totally fit my style to a T. I can tell I'll definitely be investing in another few before the season ends! The real show stopper in this outfit is this stunning necklace from Topshop. It takes the outfit from casual to glam in seconds due to it's chunky aesthetic and bold statement jeweled design. I feel it creates a wonderful contrast with the shoes whilst still fitting in perfectly with the rest of the look. </div>

<br />
Aloha my lovelies!<br />
<br />
If you're like me & unfortunately cursed with oily/combination skin then you'll understand how vital it is to find a good face powder. Powder is essential to us greasy gals to help control the excess sebum our skin produces. For years I've sworn by Rimmel's 'Stay Matte' powder and at only £3.99 who could argue with that? However recently I began to notice that it wasn't removing the shine, only creating an ever growing cakey layer. Yuck. So in my desperate attempt to find a new love I purchase the Soap & Glory 'One Heck of a Blot' powder.<br />
<br />
I adore the packaging, Some how you can tell it's of a higher quality. For starters it consists of a hard plastic case which is way more practical for people who need to top up on the go. *I'm looking at you Stay Matte* On the front it dons a chic retro vintage label giving it that classic Soap and Glory 1940's feel. Upon opening the product with the easy lift up lid you discover such gorgeous detail printed onto the powder itself. The little powder puff is a cute little touch too and sits nicely inside the case. On the inside of the lid is a good sized mirror which is perfect for those times when you're in public and need to do a quick touch up! With the promise of an 'Ultra light smooth velvety finish' I knew I just had to give it a try. Honestly I'm going to say that this product is a miracle worker. No sooner had I brushed a gentle sweep across my t-zone and the oil was banished. Leaving me with flawlessly matte looking skin without any cakiness in sight. For a moment I had to check that I had actually applied anything to my face, the finely milled make up of the powder means it feels as light as air. I can't believe the difference I have noticed since I started using this stuff, My skin looks so much clearer and gets shiny half as quickly. Definitely a winner in my eyes!<br />
<br />
It claims to be suitable for all skin types however although I agree that it is translucent to a certain degree due to the yellow undertones however, I can't help but feel that anybody paler than myself would end up looking a little on the ghostly side. Being a blotting powder rather than a pressed powder it offers very little in the way of coverage, since it's primary function is to remove the oil resting on the skin. Despite the product being at the more expensive end of the high street retailing at £12 I really can't fault it! I swear by this stuff now and have already been back to repurchase it. I can definitely tell this is going to be my holy grail product.<br />
<br />
What's your holy grail product?<br />

It's getting to that point in the semester where I want to curl up into a ball and hide from the world and more importantly, the 6,000 words worth of essay I need to write. Send help. In any case Spring is still at the forefront of my mind which leads me on to today's outfit. It's all about print clashing! I've come to the realization that I've left most of my Spring clothing at home which is turning out to be a bit of a nightmare. If I'm honest I've never really been brave enough to have a go at it but I'm actually happy with the result of this experiment. Many of you will probably take one glace at this and scream 'Laura what on earth are you doing'. My answer to that would be taking a risk, because that's what fashion is about. I took inspiration from <i>that </i>Zara dress that fashion bloggers across the board seemed to have last year. You'll notice that I lied when I said I owned no stripes. Apologies. I had actually completely forgotten I owned this jumper. I bought it quite a number of years ago now but still love it just as much. When I originally bought this piece I sized up but since then I have lost quite a bit of weight, making this the ultimate slouchy jumper. The contrast between the bold Breton stripes with the beautiful floral skirt is something I really can't get enough of.</div>

This skirt is actually a mid length pencil skirt, however, for the purposes of this post I decided to roll it up (oh how scandalous) to create a chic mini skirt. I such a massive fan of all the A Line skirts on the high street at the moment, but finding one that will fit over certain assets is proving rather difficult. Regardless I'm obsessed with the really unique greeny/yellow tones running throughout the floral pattern. I decided to give the outfit a bit more of an edge by adding my leather dream team. This comes in the form of my Topshop Jacket & gorgeous Brogues from Clarks.</div>

Aloha my lovlies!<br />

I thought that making a wishlist post would be a quick and easy thing to do...Apparently not. I definitely underestimated how long the whole process of creating the collage would take. *Side note - Do not pay attention to the fact I obviously can't count*. After Sunday's outfit post (Which you can read <a href="http://notsoplainjayne9595.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/wear-out-your-vision.html" target="_blank">here</a>) I couldn't help but continue my obsession over this throwback trend. Here I've rounded up a nice little selection of 70's inspired gems that I'm lusting over right now. As you can see, Tan/Camel is a key colour this season especially in the form of Suede or Leather. I think it's a perfect way of softening things up as we head into Spring and a great alternative to black.<br />
<br />
In true Not So Plain Jayne style there is, of course, many a pink hue running throughout the collection. Mostly consisting of warm blush tones. I particularly love this pink fedora from Topshop. It's so unique and would fit perfectly into my everyday wardrobe.<br />
<br />
Flares aren't only for trousers you know! Bell bottom sleeves are just as fashionable and are far less hazardous when it comes to walking up stairs. Gypsy style is going to be huge so go grab your off the shoulder tops quick! I think the one pictured above would look incredible paired with these Topshop Boutique tweed trouser and a pair of court shoes. Unfortunately There's no way I can afford them at £85 so I'll be on the hunt for a cheaper alternative - let me know if you find any!<br />
<br />
So there you go, here's my current wishlist! If you want to see more then when not go ahead and check out my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/PlainJayne95/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>?<br />

As many of you are probably already aware the 70's are back in full force, and I intend to embrace it with open arms! It seems that at last we're starting to get the first glimpse of the sun and with that comes Spring. Of course this naturally implements the need for new clothes. At least I like to tell myself that. I actually had this pair of stunning flares on an upcoming wishlist after spying them online, when low and behold there was one sole pair left on the coat hanger in store in my size. I believe it was fate.The material is ridiculously soft and lightweight, making them the perfect staple piece for the season ahead. I particularly like the shape of these flares, they're pretty much a wide leg all the way down which is great for maneuverability. The pattern is simply gorgeous , it's so unique and really quirky making them a welcoming new addition to my wardrobe. I decided to pair them with a simple high neck black top and let the trousers do the talking as not to distract from the bold print. This look couldn't have been complete without my wide brimmed hat. If you want to go full out 70's then you could swap the pumps for a pair of platform chelsea boots and add a denim jacket for layering.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Recently I've noticed a big shift in my style, as I seem to be drawn more to the trousers + heels combo rather than my usual cutesie dresses or skirts! I don't know when this occurred nor why, but I definitely like it. I think it's the perfect way of making a very casual everyday look just that little bit more glam. Secretly I'm trying to tell myself that I can achieve that off duty model look that most would kill for. A girl can dream eh?<br />
<br />
Are you a fan of the flares? </div>

<br />
Aloha my lovlies!<br />
<br />
I'm so excited to be writing this post you can't even imagine. Over the years I've slowly accumulated an obsession with make-up, and thanks to the likes of Youtubers like Zoella I've always envied them with their endless collection of MAC products. I thought it would be years before I could afford the luxuries of high end products but then to my complete surprise my sister bought me a MAC voucher for Christmas! I honestly was so shocked & I'm eternally grateful (Katy I love you very much). Now don't get me wrong, I'm a big lover of Drugstore brands, particularly L'oreal, but there's just something about high end products that just make you feel super fancy. When I was deciding what to spend my voucher on I knew pretty much instantaneously what I wanted. I hate to be a crowd follower but I decided to get 'Velvet Teddy' & 'Russian Red'.<br />
<br />
Velvet Teddy became a huge hit in the beauty world after it became Kylie Jenner's signature colour & I can totally see why. At first I was slightly worried as you can see in the swatch, the colour looks rather dark. Despite it's deep orangy colour in the bullet it transfers on to the lips as the perfect brown toned matte nude. I'd say it definitely falls into the 'your lips but better' category nicely and is ideal for everyday wear. At the moment I'm pretty pale due to the lack of sunshine here in the UK but I have a feeling this lipstick would suit pretty much any skin tone. Personally I think this lipstick is great for the transitional period between Winter & Spring. I can tell you one thing, this baby has got unrivaled staying power! I think this is one of the main differences between drugstore & high end. I applied it in the morning & it still looked just as fresh 8 hours later, even after several cups of tea and both breakfast & dinner. I'm a big lover of a matte lip and was pleasantly surprised by how non drying it was. The application was smooth and fuss free, I even attempted to slightly over draw my lip line in order to get the full Kylie Jenner effect. I can tell already that this is going to become a firm favourite of mine & would totally recommend it to any who's in the market for a super high quality nude.<br />
<br />
Are you a fan of the 90's nude?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last week I was at home for reading week so naturally I dedicated one of my days off to shopping. If you follow me on <a href="https://instagram.com/plainjayne95/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> you will have already had a sneak peek of today's outfit. Personally I'm obsessed with this outfit. Not only is it totally different to my usual style, but it's ticked half the boxes for my style resolutions (If you missed the post you can see it <a href="http://notsoplainjayne9595.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/style-resolutions-2015.html" target="_blank">here</a>). I came to the realisation that I didn't own anything striped so this striped shirt make a wonderful new addition to my wardrobe. It gives a very relaxed, Parisian feel to the look which makes it chic and sophisticated. To keep it looking super casual I paired it with this pair of Topshop ripped knee jeans. (This makes my current jeans total 2).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course I couldn't resist a statement colour pop, and what better way than with a pastel over sized coat? This pastel pink number is the perfect shade heading towards spring and helps to add my signature girly flair in contrast with the androgynous shape of the shirt. I got it for the incredible price of £30 down from £85. I'm in the market for some low heeled court shoes but for now I decided to wear these dainty little heels, I particularly like the laser cut detailing on the banding across the top.</div>

Despite what you see, sometime I'm a really lazy dresser. When you're up at 6.30 every morning the last thing you want is to be stressing over what you're wearing. This is one of the main reasons I'm such a huge fan of wearing dresses, they're so easy to style! I rarely go a week without wearing this outfit combo, the cream cardigan is lovely and delicate and compliments the bold pattern of the dress nicely. The dress itself is made of velvet which if you hadn't already guessed, I have a massive obsession with. Unfortunately I bought it last year some time so it's currently unavailable to buy. If you live near a Select store I'd keep your eyes peeled though - they're not shy about bringing out old stock in the sales! </div>

Recently I've been reaching more and more for my flat shoes in place of my heels, sometimes a girl just wants to be comfy! Plus my brogues are literally so adorable. I don't know if I've already mentioned that I originally bought them for work but they've slowly but surely become a huge part of my everyday wardrobe! Oops... Honestly I'm just ready for it to be spring now. I'm growing tired of it constantly being freezing both inside and out.</div>

As many of you may or may not be aware it's London Fashion Week this week & I've spent the majority of my time weeping over all of the videos of the catwalks and generally stalking anybody who was there. Who knows, maybe one day I'll finally get the chance to go. Until then I'll continue sitting in my bed with a packet of biscuits and envy the vast array of beaut outfits.</div>

Last weekend I got offered a very exciting opportunity - a chance to do a photo shoot in London! Of course I couldn't say no, so off to London I went. The place in question was called 'Studio 52 London' and honestly it was the stuff dreams are made off. All the staff were wonderfully accommodating and really helped make my experience one to remember! It was so nice having my hair and makeup done for me for a change. I so wish I had the capacity to learn how to curl my own hair....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I know that generally people would usually associate floral crowns with festivals and what not but I always love to break a fashion stereotype. In my experience this piece has been a crowd divider, some love it, others ask why I've got a bouquet of roses strapped to my forehead. Each to their own. Personally I adore it and feel that it's totally wearable for winter with it being this beautiful, deep pinky/purple colour. I've honestly spent the last few minutes trying to think of the word to describe it an that was the best I could do. I picked it up at a reduced price from a blogger on Depop, since originally it was meant to be £29. The quality is second to none and it really is a beautiful statement piece for those of you who are feeling brave!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This dress is one of my favourite things I own. It's such a flattering cut and cinches in at the waist wonderfully. Deep forest green is a colour I particularly like in clothing as I feel it really compliments my skintone. I'd usually throw on my black and grey blanket wrap which I decided not to wear for the photos but you can see it in another one of my outfit posts <a href="http://notsoplainjayne9595.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/im-still-working-on-my-masterpiece.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Since the floral crown is such a showstopper I decided to play it safe on the jewellry front and just wore my little globe necklace. I finished off with my Topshop Knee highs - still well worth the investment! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stay tuned for more photos from my shoot! Are you a fan of the floral crown? </div>

Aloha my lovlies!<br />
<br />
I'm aware that we're well over a month into the new year but I couldn't help hopping on the bandwagon. I'd seen quite a few bloggers doing posts like this and it really made me reflect on how my personal style has developed and a few changes I'd like to make this year! Too often I find myself in a styling rut and just going back to the same outfits again and again. My goal for this year is to create a more versatile wardrobe, and here's how I plan on doing it.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<b>01. Go back to basics.</b></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Recently whenever I look through my wardrobe I see so many wonderful patterns and prints but have realized I have nothing to match them with. This year I intend on investing on some good quality basic's, you know, Plain tees, Jeans, Jumpers. That sort of thing. They really are essential for everyone and provide an instantly stylish go-to outfit.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<b>02. Buy more black.</b></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Now I am pretty much a disgrace to fashion for being one of the only people who needs more black clothing. The trouble is that I'm always so drawn to interesting and unique colours as generally I see black as being pretty bog standard boring. However recently I've come to realise how classic and chic black can be. First on the list is some black skinny jeans with those knee rips.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<b>03. Be more daring.</b></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
This isn't to say that I think my style is particularly mundane or dull, just that sometimes I like to play it safe and end up buying two or three pieces that are pretty similar. For the next year I'd like to take a few risks and try something new. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<b>04. JEANS.</b><br />
As you will have seen in Sundays outfit post (click <a href="http://notsoplainjayne9595.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/out-of-my-dreams.html" target="_blank">here</a> if you missed it) my wardrobe is majorly lacking in jeans. This year I'm on a quest to find the perfect pair and am determined to succeed. I'd love to experiment with different cuts and fits as they really are such a staple piece in anybody's collection!<br />
<br />
<b>05. Invest in evening wear.</b><br />
I defy the huge student stereotype of going out every night. Due to being a busy bee with my Uni course I rarely get the chance to head to the SU bar. When the opportunity does arise I realise I'm left with a measly handful of clothes I've worn over & over again. When out shopping I pretty much completely bypass the more 'dressy' items and refuse to splurge on things I won't get much wear out of in favour of everyday clothing. My intention is to build up a few more key pieces over the next year to ensure a last minute night out won't result in an outfit induced breakdown! </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br />
So there we have it, my style resolutions for the year 2015. Have you made any? Let me know! </div>
