Pleats, Patent & Pvc!!!

As you probably know from my other posts I love a good charity shop, especially when you get a good gem at a bargain price! I few weeks back I went to Lincoln with my mum, I'd never been before but it's such a lovely place and they have some great charity shops. They had this great shop that you wouldn't even think was a charity shop, it had a real boutique feel with the way it was laid out and had a few new pieces aswell as second hand bargains. Aswell as that it had a vintage section at the back of the shop with vintage clothing, furniture and knick knacks like singer sewing machines and cute buttons.

I got a couple of things in there including this amazing pleated shirt with pussybow collar, I thought it was vintage at first but it is Forever 21 and actually still had the labels in. I did notice it had a little pen mark on it so the lady in the shop said I could have it at half price so I got it for £3.50, absolute steal! To my joy the pen mark came out easily and I'm so glad cause I love the shirt and it's a great addition to my collection of white blouses! I wanted to sass it up a bit so tucked it into a black high shine pvc pencil skirt. You can never have enough pvc/patent so my patent ankle boots were the perfect match, aswell as a vintage patent quilt effect bag. With the detail of the neckline of the shirt I simply added some gold chunky earrings to finish the look.

I'm trying to get my hair back to health after absolutely trashing it when I went from black to orange, which is proving more difficult than I thought. I've been trying to put it up as much as possible in the week and lay off the heat with straighteners etc where possible so thought I'd try some little plaits and pin it back, it's not the neatest but it wasn't too bad for a first try and I thought it went with the look quite well. Also I let my hair fade the most I ever have whilst it's been green here which was a task in itself. I also haven't done my roots in 3 months but I kinda don't mind them with this colour, so I'm trying to lay off grabbing for the bleach for as long as possible! If anyone has any tips for healthy hair and to help it grow please hit a sistuh up?!!
