Jumpsuit - Asos

T-shirt - New Look

Sandals - New Look

I had a £20 voucher for Asos leftover from my birthday, which was all the way back in April, how I managed to go that long without spending it I have no idea!  Anyway when I saw that the sale had started I thought I'd have a look through and see what I could get with my voucher.  There were a few dresses that I liked but it was this jumpsuit that really caught my eye.  It looked perfect for all the sunny weather that we were having, which has disappeared slightly now, and I knew I'd find a way to transition it into my autumn wardrobe.  The best part; it's reduced from £35 to £14, less than half price!

Unfortunately the sun seemed to have disappeared by the time my Asos order arrived, so it was a little chilly to wear on it's own.  So I tried layering it over a simple black tee and I actually quite like it.  It adds a little more contrast and makes the black floral print pop out that little bit more.  This is what I love about jumpsuits, they are so easy to wear but just make it look like you've put that little bit more effort in than you actually have.  It's also super comfy and how cute are those little tassels on the bottom?

I also bought a playsuit in the Asos sale, so I am hoping the sun makes a reappearance before the end of summer (especially as I am going on holiday next week) and I get to wear it.  Did you pick up any bargains in the Asos summer sale?

Jumpsuit - Cameo Rose at New Look

Shoes - New Look

After loving the look of culottes for a while now but thinking they would never suit me, I finally took the plunge and bought a pair towards the beginning of summer.  They ended up suiting me better than I thought and have become my new obsession.  They are just so comfy and easy to wear, and there's just something about them that make me feel a little bit more trendy.  I don't know what it is, because they're nothing overly special, but I feel like they just have this look about them that when I spot someone wearing them I'm like "oh she looks trendy".  When I spotted this culotte jumpsuit in New Look I picked it up straight away and, even though it was coming towards the end of summer, I knew with it's khaki colour it would make a great transitional piece for winter.  I plan on wearing a roll neck jumper underneath it now the colder days are here.

I was hoping to be more present on here lately but as I explained in my little comeback post I'm trying to put less pressure on myself and just blog when I'm feeling up to it.  After writing that post it's so refreshing to be able to admit that the last couple of weeks I have been working really hard on my recovery and all the anxiety kind of took it out of me a bit.  It's also really great to feel like I can finally talk about it on here.  It was both my boyfriend's and my mum's birthdays, so I'm glad I'm finally at a place where I am coping with my anxiety a bit better and was able to go for a meal with my boyfriend and on a little trip out for the afternoon.  We just went to a big country park to walk the dogs, and even though this would be nothing to most people it was a huge step for me.  I even got a little emotional, as a few months ago when I was in a really bad place something this simple didn't even seem like a possibility!  I also went for a meal with my family for my mum's birthday, which don't get me wrong I still find a huge struggle to sit in a restaurant and attempt to eat whilst my stomach feels like it's doing flips like I'm on a rollercoaster, but it's so nice to not have to say no to absolutely everything I'm invited to anymore.  Lucky for me I find baking therapeutic and what is a birthday without cake?!  So I'll leave you drooling over the cakes I made them for their birthdays.  

My boyfriends chocolate and peanut butter layer cake.  I will definitely be making this one again, it's one of those cakes that you should only really have a small slice of but you can't help eating until you feel sick, it tasted amazing!

My mum's lime, pistachio and white chocolate layer cake.  The original recipe for this cake has a cream cheese frosting but as my mum is not a fan of cream cheese frosting I swapped it for my favourite white chocolate buttercream recipe.  I'm so glad I did because it tasted incredible along with the lime.

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with jumpsuits, I think they look great and can be super easy to wear but what a pain it is when you need the toilet, especially when you're out and about.  There's nothing worse than feeling like you have to get fully undressed in a public bathroom, which leads me to keeping my legs crossed as long as possible.  So my two main requirements when buying a jumpsuit are 1. Where and how it fastens, making sure it is easy enough to get on and off when nature calls and 2. Making sure I love it enough that it won't get overlooked in favour of more practical outfits.  For me this Asos jumpsuit meets both these requirements.  I love the style and print, I can sometimes get a little bit scared when it comes to all over prints but I think the colours and style of this jumpsuit stop it from being too in your face and I can break it up slightly with a waist belt like this one.  I love the fit of this jumpsuit and it super comfy to wear, and there's something about jumpsuits that makes me feel like I've put quite a bit of effort into my outfit when it's really taken no effort at all.

What it your opinion on jumpsuits?  Love them or hate them?
