Winter wishes (in June? I know.)

This is an outfit that I would usually wear mid-winter, when I want to be as warm as possible. I've been used to visiting my boyfriend over the winter in Sheffield and, let me tell you, it's cold up north! But it wasn't as cold as I estimated today so this outfit was a little redundant, but it's one I'll be saving for the winter.



Velvet blazer: vintage
Poloneck: Miss Sixty
Skirt: Oasis
Tights: Primark
Boots: Clarks
Bag: Bueno

I can't tell you how long I've had this skirt, it's got to be pushing 10 years now probably. It's still in great condition.



This is my first outfit post taken in Sheffield! It's all a bit hectic atm because we're moving into our new apartment at the end of the month so from July I'll be able to get outfit posts up much more regularly.



A bonus picture of my hair. My hair is very long and tends to do it's own thing. Still, I'd love to do tutorials on the blog sometime. In this picture I basically took all of my hair and twisted it from the back of the head to the ends of the hair. Then I looped it round as if you were tying a knot in a piece of string. That's all it is- I literally tied a knot at the back of my head!

Cow Vintage, Sheffield

Some of you may know that at the beginning of next month I am moving with my boyfriend to Sheffield. We took a little trip up there to have a look at properties, and I couldn't resist going into Cow vintage again.

Cow is a store you can hardly miss. Bright yellow, it is a beacon for affordable and reconstructed vintage. I love the decor and the design of the changing room doors, aren't they cute! Note: they weren't actually 77 changing room cubicles, the numbers on the door are random. There were about 4 on the ground floor for ladies and more upstairs for men I believe.



This is the sign for upstairs, where the menswear and sale items were.



The downstairs. Love the bunting and the patchwork ceiling! In this dress rail in the forefront I found an amazing bright red shirtdress for £7 that fit perfectly! It was reconstructed vintage by Cow, but the only sights I could find of altering was the hemline.







Dress: vintage. Belt: Primark. Shoes: Tesco. Necklace: Camden market.

Cow also have stores in Birmingham, Manchester and Nottingham. Have you ever been to Cow? What did you think of the items? Also if you have any recommendations for affordable vintage in Sheffield, plz post in the comments. :)
