Fun and bright pop in the crease

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This might be one of my favourite crease liner looks I’ve done, because the pop of lilac adds a bit of fun and brightness to the otherwise neutral leaning, smokey, dark purple eye look.

Second hand haul (August/September 2024)

I have a collective second hand haul to share with you today. I found these items in August and September of last year.

I picked up two dresses. I love the colours of the first one, but I’m not quite sure how to style it. And I still love leopard print and animal print in general, so I thought it would be nice to have a leopard print dress in my wardrobe.

This is one of those items that I’m not quite sure about. Do I like it, do I not? I think I need to style it and wear it to know for sure.

On the contrary, I’m sure I love both of these jumpers. I’ve worn both, and I’m excited to wear them again.

Here’s another piece that I was a bit unsure about, but I quite liked it when I styled it up.

This top is so weird and fun that I just had to have it. I love the colour.

This is just a nice tank top with a nautical theme. Perfect for hot summer days.

I really like a waistcoat, and I want to wear them more often, so I had to add this one to my small collection of waistcoats.

This pair of cropped green trousers is my most worn item in this second hand haul. I love these; I love the fit and I love the colour.

The last piece in this haul is this incredible boxy, black hat. I love the shape and the bow in back, and it might be my favourite find included in this haul.
