Three Ways To Wear Long Dungarees

I recently bought these Long Black Dungarees by Liquor & Poker from Asos (identical ones from Boohoo here). I'd been wanting some for a while, I looked at the blue denim ones, but decided they weren't for me so eventually took the plunge and went for black. They only had a size 10 left so I bought them and hoped for the best as I can sometimes be a 12 on the bottom. When they arrived I liked them and they fit but I wasn't 100% sure on them (I thought I maybe looked a bit too much like a painter and decorator...), but now I really love them and I've come to realise how amazingly versatile they are!

I decided to make this post as I think a lot of people might be wary of buying dungarees for fear they won't suit them, or they won't get enough wear out of them, as that's exactly what I thought. Hopefully this might help you decide whether to buy some or not, or if you already own some, give you some quick outfit ideas. 

Outfit 1: Everyday Casual

Miss Selfridge Crop Top (similar) // Miss Selfridge Necklace // Forever 21 Bag (similar)// Steve Madden Shoes

I like the look of long sleeved crop tops with dungarees as it breaks up the outfit a bit by giving a flash of flesh on the waist. These Steve Madden slip on's are perfect for the cold damp weather, the keep my feet dry and warm throughout the autumn/winter seasons. 

Outfit 2: Winter Layering

H&M Scarf (similar) // New Look Sleeveless Jumper // River Island Boots (similar) // Apple Watch

I love layering and dungarees are perfect for this! Throw a jumper on underneath them with an oversized scarf over the top and you're good to go. Pair with your favourite boots and you'll be ready to tackle the cooler autumn days. If you want to wear a sleeveless jumper, like I have here, but are cautious about your arms getting cold. Make sure you wear an oversized scarf because they can often double up as a cape or shawl so you'll never get caught out. 

Outfit 3: Going Out Out

Miss Selfridge Embellished Top // TK Maxx Clutch (similar) // New Look Heels (similar)

You might not immediately think of dressing up dungarees, but they look perfect with heels and an embellished top like this one I got in the sale at Miss Selfridge recently. I like the all-black look for a night out, I feel it makes the dungarees look more night-time appropriate and classy. However, if you're more into colour, you could easily inject some in there with a pair of bright heels and/or a colourful clutch.

OOTD: Last of the Summer Outfits?

This was my outfit earlier on in the week and it's possible it'll be the last of my summer outfits because the weather in the days after I wore this have been very miserable and a lot colder. I know it's not super summer, but the light colours, thin materials and lack of jacket mean it definitely isn't something I'd be wearing in the colder weather. 

I wore this outfit to go out for lunch and then do a bit of shopping. These jeans are super comfy, the material is really light and stretchy so they fit amazingly. Also, I love these shoes, I think they just add a little something to an outfit. They have a padded insole so they don't make your feet hurt when walking around all the shops!

A lot of these clothes are out of season now so I've had to link clothes that are similar to the ones shown in these images.

OOTD: New Month, Old Shirt

Seen as though it's the 1st September today I thought I'd go a bit out of my comfort zone and try something new, an OOTD post.

I think the reason I've put off doing an outfit post so far is because 1. I don't really like my picture being taken anyway and 2. Trying to find somewhere to take the pictures can be a bit of a pain. I was originally going to take these pictures outside but, in true British style, the weather wasn't on my side and it started raining. This meant I had to find somewhere in my bedroom to take the pictures. That wasn't exactly the easiest task because, not going to lie, my room's not the tidiest of places at the moment. Anyway, that's enough about that.

Outfit Details: 

Shirt - Dorothy Perkins (Similar) / Jeans - H&M / Shoes - Sainsbury's* (Similar) /

Bag - Forever 21 (Similar) / Watch - Apple

I haven't done all that much today. I've been off work so volunteered to go get a few bits from the shop. I like to get out and about when I can because otherwise I'm either stuck at home or working. Due to this, any chance to get out of the house, I'll take it. I also had a little drive up to a retail park that's quite close to me. They're opening a new TK Maxx there and was wondering what the actual opening date was, turns out, it's this Thursday, so I'll be going up to have a look in there when it opens.

I chose this outfit as I just wanted something casual and comfy. The shirt I have on is actually quite old, but I recently found it in my wardrobe so decided to wear it. I like the military style, the pockets and buttons on the shoulders add a little touch of detail without being too over the top. I find with a lot of my clothes I wear them once and forget about them, so when I find them again (or remember I have them) it's like a new piece of clothing, but obviously a lot cheaper!

Have you been up to much today?

*The shoes I'm wearing are now half price in store at Sainbury's, but they don't have them online so I've linked similar ones.
