#8: OOTH - Outfits of the Holidays

Hi everyone,

If there's one thing I love almost as much as planning make up looks, it's planning outfits. Everytime I go away, I try so hard to plan my outfits in advance, as to not overpack. However, I think it's part of a girls' DNA to overpack. We would be deemed 'not right' if we didn't. I did do quite well this time, with only a couple of dresses that I didn't wear whilst away in Morocco. My case still weighed bang on 20kg though - must be all my make up and skincare weighing me down! Without further ado, here are some of my favourite outfits and pieces from my time away...

Travelling outfit

The need to be comfortable yet stylish on a flight is something I find hard to do. I would happily wear my leopard print onesie, but I'm acutely aware it's socially unacceptable. I decided on a loose jersey tshirt and some highwaisted jeans (both Topshop), my gold jewelled Zara necklace, my vintage Chanel Jumbo XL handbag and some LK Bennett pink ballet pumps. Also my standard watch and rings combo which is the same throughout all pictures. In the picture below, we had just arrived at the hotel and I had changed into some Topshop sandals and my Rayban sunglasses. I had also shed my super comfy Topshop fluffy boyfriend cardigan that will be featured in a couple of shots later on.

 
 


Accessories

I'm not one for chopping and changing my accessories constantly. I have a few staples in my collection that I wear everyday without fail; a vintage ring that my Dad bought me for Christmas a few years back and my two new Pandora treats. My watch was a Christmas present from Tom and my ring was a late Christmas present to myself in Duty Free. I haven't taken either off since I got them.







To be honest I don't have many day outfits to show you. I was in a bikini or a swimming costume every day with just some River Island jelly flip flops and a crotcheted black cover up - nothing too exciting!

So there you have it, my holiday in outfits! Sorry for the lengthy photo heavy post and I hope you enjoyed it. Please link me to your ootd or ooth should I say!
 
If I have learnt anything from this post, it's that I own so much from high street stores! I now feel that I need to broaden my fashion horizons, so please post any amazing stores (online or on the highstreet) that you swear by. Need to update for the coming months!
