What I Wore | It Was Acceptable in the 80's

Tee: Make One Good*. Jeanes: Wildfox*. Boots: George at ASDA*. Coat: Olive. Glasses: Tesco*. Lipstick: Rimmel Moisture Renew Diva Red. Belt: Vintage
Terrible roots is the worst thing about having red hair – my natural colour is such a mousey brown that I almost look grey underneath. So the only answer in this instance is a top knot that’s higher than a mountain to attempt to cover it up.

Today, I’m pretty excited because not only do I have a new coat that makes me feel like my life is complete (don’t judge) – I’ve also discovered a clothing brand that genuinely makes my heart happy. *drags out soap box* Make one Good designed this bloody good t-shirt – and honestly it is probably my most loved item ever. Firstly the design is just incredible, I love how originally brilliant it is and how much colour it brings, so casually. Secondly, not only does this brand make incredible tees, they’re also pretty hot on giving back - for every purchase we make, they plant 20 trees...I know amazing right. They want to help mend our society whilst making us look fierce in the process, which is an ethos I am totally down with.  

I’ve also acquired some new (prescription) glasses, which I intend to wear forever from this day forward. I never thought to look to Tesco for my frames before but I am literally in love - I feel like a Harry Potter cast member (sorry Warner Bros you missed your chance to have me as Hermione ;)). They're super lightweight, fit like a glove for your face and the tortoise shell finish is my absolute favourite. 

A staple pair of jeans are also a necessity when it comes to my wardrobe. I've been after a grey pair for yonks but really struggle with the fit of most high street brands, which means I usually have to go high-end. Then I found these beauties from Wildfox. They cost a pretty penny but they're honestly the best pair of jeans I've ever owned. They're soft, super stretchy and the acid wash effect makes them a little more interesting than your standard pair. 


P.S. I can't wait to have my hair done.

Don't forget you can shop my look here:

    I love your new glasses so much, they're stunning. I would never have expected tesco to have such on trend frames, I'll definitely be having a look. And I suppose planting 20 trees is a reason to buy new stuff because you're technically doing a good deed? xx

    I used to have hair that colour, I know how difficult it is to maintain. I used to have to dye it so, so often because it lost the vibrance and my also mousy brown hair started creeping through :( You look lovely anyway, I adore the top.

    Loving the outfit Meg! I love graphic tees; they're just so easy to chuck on and go and you end up looking put together. Love me some tortoise shell frames and actually those Harry Potter rimmed specs really suit you. Acid wash jeans are definitely a trend that has made they're back into stores but I like the subtlety of these Wildfox ones, totally agree as well that jeans are the hardest pieces of clothing to find!

    I can't beleive those ASDA boots. I bought an almost identical pair from New Look, but they were a tad pricey. Looking great btw H x
