Hey fellow Blogettes, I'm very tired this evening, but I really really wanted to show you my handsome new satchel. I'm sure it's been around the blogs and you've probably seen it a million times, well now you're going to see it again...
This outfit is pretty simple, some might say boring, but I say classic. I guess that describes my style pretty well. I like to keep things fairly simple, no obviously clashing patterns or bright colours. I love to follow fashion but in a slightly understated way, but that's just my personal style and I'm sure it's not to everyone's taste.
I've had this skirt for a little while now, I picked it up in December in the H&M Sale, it looks a little creased in these pictures, does anyone know how to get creases out of faux leather? The sweater is from Tesco (!) in their sale, I loved it so much I bought one in Chocolate brown too.
Now say hello to my new satchel, it's nothing special really and it certainly wasn't expensive, but it was exactly what I've been looking for and as soon as I saw it on the shelf in Primark I knew I had to have it. It's barely been off my shoulder since.
~ Outfit Details ~
Cable Knit Jumper - Tesco (F&F) - £12 (Sale)
Faux Leather Skirt - H&M - £12.49 (Sale)
Tan Chelsea Boots - H&M - £11.24 (Sale)
Black Dress Coat - Topshop - £35 (Sale)
Jewellery - Miss Selfridge or Vintage
Tan Satchel - Primark - £7
Total Outfit Cost - £77.73
To all of my new readers; I like to keep a list of the prices of my outfits to show that you don't have to spend ridiculous amounts of money to look good and to encourage everyone to spend less but get more.
Before I leave you all for another day I wondered if anyone could offer me some advice on any software that I could use to save pictures side by side (as above) the programs I've been using are either mega slow or mega complicated. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I hope you're all having an excellent week so far.

What a fantastic find in regards to that bag. I love it! I think it is great that you paired the chunky sweater with the full skirt. It is a very nice look on you.

I use Picnik for photo editing. It's not super quick but I've never had any problems with it and it's free, so it's rude to grumble really!
Don't Tesco do surprisingly good knitwear? I've got a couple of lovely jumpers from there.
i love that jumper and the faux leather skirt! and that satchel is pure love! x
I love your style, especially the little details like grey socks peeking out the top of your boots :) SO cute
Love, Vanilla

I love cable knit!
For my pictures, if I want them side by side, I load them up on picnic.com then turn them into collages and just don't add any of the effects, so its just the pictures. I know that's not very technical, but it's an idea!

I love the sweater and for photo editing I use picnik, to be able to arrange pictures in a sort of collage I think you need to upgrade but it's not expensive I think I might be upgrading soon. I like picnik cos you can do so much with your pictures without it being complicated to use!
You are so pretty :)
I really like your outfit and the satchel is so beautiful:) I really adore your style
Happy Thursday, sweetie

I can not beleive these shoes are from H&M! I have been after a pair for ages! With the price some shops charge I have been waiting to find the perfect pair - these boots are perfect and so cheap!
I work in an office too, although the work is very formal the dress code isn't - but I know what you mean, some people just don't get that look. "man shoes" is another frequent comment.
Hope you have a good Friday
not boring at all, I love simple and classic outfits that are different from what you usually see in the streets. The socks, boots, leather and knit all give more interest to a simple silhouette, I love it! and great little satch' :)
Ooh love this outfit!! And the new satchel is great!! :D

That satchel IS great (and I love those boots), too. I like that you keep track of the prices of everything...it's very true that you don't have to spend exorbitant amounts of money to look good!
I use Photoshop to edit my pics...Paintshop Pro is another good option, and it's A LOT cheaper!
Minimalist chic.
Lovely.

Love that satchel! How did I miss that in Primark?! Although sometimes you don't notice things in there til someone has them!
Pretty blog btw, following! X
Like it!
I use a program called XN View which looks like Windows explorer but has a few photo-editing features including "make a strip of images". It's free and comes from download.com

Alternatively blogspot should let you just put then side-by-side, although of course it means you can't resize them quite the same.
