All in the name of fashion, we tried on all of the new season pieces from Missguided, so that you don't have to.
Ah, Missguided. My go-to store for all of my clothing necessities. You can often find me trawling through their website during my lunch-break, and I can admit that I spend most of my hard-earned wages on their stuff. So, naturally, when the opportunity arose to try on all of their new season collection, I jumped at it. Like, LEAPED out of my chair. And now I have six new outfits to show you all (hi mum, if you're reading this)...
Puff It Out
Green balloon sleeve bardot top, £25, Missguided; Blue lace up denim skirt, £25, Missguided.
Cinderella, come at me, hun. I'm sure you'll agree that this green puff sleeve top is the modern day version of Cinders' bouffant ballgown. The oversized sleeves, the off-the-shoulder style - it's all very princess-worthy. And, paired with some strappy heels and a stylish denim skirt, I definitely feel like I've embarked on a rags-to-riches makeover. Now, where's my Prince Charming? Jk, I don't need no man. I'm a strong, independent woman.
Flare It Up
Kick flared trousers, £20, Missguided; Black patent faux leather biker jacket, £45, Missguided; White oversized printed t-shirt dress, £18, Missguided.
I must admit, I'm not usually a flared trouser-wearer (they make me look frumpy and I feel like I have weird alien legs whenever I attempt to wear them). But, having said that, these ones from Missguided have miraculously won me over. They're figure-hugging, chic, and pair oh-so-well with a black latex jacket and casual white tee. And FYI, they fit like a glove on the bottom area. My derrière looked as if it had been put through the paces of 10,000 squats (it hadn't).
Sheer Delight
Gold metallic knitted jumper, £28, Missguided; Grey checked blazer, £38, Missguided.
Although I feel a tad naked on top, I'm really feeling this sheer t-shirt. It's sexy, it's light-weight, and most importantly, it's NICE AND BREEZY. Perfect for all of them big nights out on the town where you have good intentions of going to a garden pub, but then end up in a packed, stuffy, underground bar. So long, sweat patches. Hello, fresh-to-death pits.
Flower Power
Floral print strappy scuba mini dress, £15, Missguided; White ruched sleeve sweatshirt, £20, Missguided.
British summertime may be unofficially over, but that's not going to stop me from wearing all of the floral print. To keep me feeling a little more warm in this ghastly weather, I layered this bodycon dress over a white puff-ball sleeve sweatshirt. And I felt like a right bloody queen. It's something about the sleeves, they're very regal.
Kitten Heels & Boob Tee's
Black heart nipple printed t-shirt, £10, Missguided; Red faux suede studded mini skirt, £28, Missguided.
I love me a good cheeky boob tee. Wear them with jeans, skirts, shorts, you name it: they go with everything. In this instance, I paired mine with a red studded skirt (which I'm totally in love with), and some understated kitten heels. Yes, kitten heels, people. I never thought the day would come when I put on a pair of these bad boys. BUT, with a pair as chic as these, I think I'm a convert. Trust me: don't knock 'em until you've tried 'em - they're really rather comfy.
Sporty Chic
*Black Faux Leather Buckle Detail Mini Skirt, £35, Missguided; *Red Extreme Slogan Trim Cropped Sweatshirt, £20, Missguided
My daily problem in life is deciding whether to dress stylish or comfy for work. I mean, I always want to look on-point, but my desire to feel comfortable usually prevails. In fact, there have been a few occasions where I've received odd looks from colleagues due to my overtly casual work outfit. But, I feel like I've found the happy medium with this sporty outfit: a comfy jumper, a knee-length leather skirt, and some kick-ass trainers? Perf.
