Black is the new Black

Black Knitted Ribbed Turtle Neck Crop £6.99 New Look // White High Waisted Jeans £22.99 New Look // Belt £6.99 Dorothy Perkins // Jelly Sandals £8 Primark

Another monochrome outfit. So.. in my previous post with white high waisted jeans you probably noticed they were £34 from Miss Selfridge. On holiday I had an accident involving a cup of hot chocolate and those white jeans resulting in them going in the bin. Although I was pretty gutted (it was someone else who spilt it all over me) I have managed to find a new pair which were not only way cheaper but also fit better and aren't as see-through. This knitted crop is the newest addition to my crop top collection. Its a turtle neck and is ribbed. It's so soft and comfy and is slightly longer than a lot of my crop tops which I really like because I don't like having half my stomach on show, just a small glimpse is enough. The belt is a few years old now and is beginning to fall apart but I wear it loads and I will be sad when I have to throw it away so a replacement hunt is going on at the moment. Jelly shoes are the in thing at the moment for the summer months. I got this pair way back in March but I wish I had waited a bit now because I like the ones with a heel on better. Maybe I'll treat myself to a JUJU pair soon in a different colour.

Black is probably one of my favourite colours to wear. Not only is it slimming, it goes with anything and can be so easily dressed up or down and made to look classy and chic. The H&M handbag is one of my most recent purchases. I originally bought it for when I'm travelling to and from uni and stopping overnight somewhere because it's huge! With me only being small I think it looks a bit OTT and stupid but i've grown to like it and use it a lot more now. It has a long strap so it can be a shoulder bag which is really useful when carrying it around jam packed full of uni work, books, iPad etc. And of course it goes with any outfit which is a little bonus. H&M also do it in other colours - pale bus and beige which are really cool for summer! The ONLY downside to this bag is that i've seen loads of people with it which puts me off because I prefer to be a bit individual. I guess it's expected when it's from a high street store at such a good price (I had £5 off so it was even better!). You can find it here in black and other colours.

I got the iPad case for Christmas 2012 (agrees ago I know) but I still love it! It's been really useful and lasted so well. For £19.99 I think it was a bargain. It is also lined with a really cool leopard print fabric.

Although the picture of the scarf is more of a selfie and you can't really see the scarf, it is also from H&M and a  bargain price also available in other colours. It can be worn in loads of different ways and is a really soft textured material - great for spring as it's lighter than my knitted scarfs.

I have blogged about the fluffy cropped jumper before but it's so comfy and easy to wear with so many different things it's appearing again! I would say go and grab one but it's from Internationale which is now in administration so I doubt you'll find one. The necklace is an old one from Topshop but a classic that i wear a lot as it's simple but finished off an outfit.

Finally the earrings are a pair I wear so much - from Forever 21. They were a present to myself when I was down in London for a week at Debenhams HQ as I was in jewellery heaven at the huge Forever 21 store on Oxford Street!
