OOTD : Cultural day out wearing bargain basics










Dress - Warehouse (Sale) 
Socks - Primark 
Shoes - Primark (see previous post) 
Jacket - Primark 
Bag - Vintage 

Today I had a rare Sunday off work so me and my boyfriend decided to trek it to Lincoln for the day; plus he owed me a meal out as a graduation present. It's the cutest little city with cobbled streets and an amazing cathedral which was very Hogwarts-esque in certain light. Warning to those thinking of going here though... no form of heel is advisable. My ankle nearly snapped tiptoeing over the cobbles several times. But it's well worth a visit if you're anywhere near, there's some really cute vintage shops and tearooms which make a change from most city centres round here.

My camera shy boyfriend and I did a bit of a photoshoot in a nearby park for an outfit post. As the title of this post suggests, this outfit is a massive budget one... becoming quite a theme with my blog at the mo. But I actually think it's quite deceiving and looks pretty expensive. This silk-ish bommer jacket from primark is such a favourite of mine and perfect for summer because it's not too heavy but, like today when it kept going a bit cloudy, helps keep out some of the chill. I love the pattern too as it seems quite tasteful for Primark. The dress I got last week at Meadowhall in the Warehouse sale for £15 and it's so versatile. I've already worn it on a night out with some heels and dressed it down today with the jacket and bag. It's so comfy as it's really light and loose, however probably not ideal on a windy day as knicker flashing is probable with it being baggy. I like the fact that, despite it being baggy, the waist line and pleats still give it shape and make it flattering. The socks and sandals combo has become a regular occurrence since the last post.. for details on that one see the Pastel post I did a few days ago. 

Thanks for following and reading! got some more posts and days out planned soon so keep watching :)
