Casual Shopping Days (with no moneys) !

I am so so excited about doing my first outfit post! I get so much inspiration from some of my favourite bloggers for outfits and I use them for inspiration with my own outfits that I wear so I'm hoping that this can have the same effect on someone else... somewhere, maybe?

(Also big shout out to my sister for taking time to take these pictures for me). 

So yeah, this is my outfit of the day for the other, other, day when I went for a quick shopping trip to Westfield's (spending money I don't have as per usual so nothing is new there). I chose to go for a simple but somewhat sophisticated look and also get in touch with the autumn winter trend (just a little bit early, but its not bad to be eager right?) because of my shirt - which is from Zara btw for £25.99 and I loveeeeeee.

Hat: Miss Selfridge
Shirt: Zara (Autumn/Winter Collection)
Jeans: Topshop
Bag: Zara
Shoes: New Look

I paired my shirt with my favourite pair of jeans from Topshop from their Joni collection (seriously everyone should invest in a pair they are amazingg) because they are so comfortable to wear and compliment any figure whatsoever. Also they have a range of colours!. The contrast with the colour of my jeans and my shirt give a kind of warm atmosphere if that makes sense...lol.







I teamed everything with a brown tote bag as I feel sometimes the littlest accessory can really make a difference with an outfit. Plus you can never go wrong with a tote bag, (mine is from Zara a couple of years ago but I am sure you could find it on eBay if its not online anymore - just type in brown tote bag from Zara!). I also matched my bag with my shoes which is something I rarely do so it was nice to try something different for a change. Boot heels are amazing as they are super comfortable and can be worn whatever the season! (New Look always have amazing ones) 





And lastly *breathes out* I can talk about my hat. This is one of my favourite hats from Miss Selfridge and is called a floppy hat (again if Miss Selfridge are out have a look on eBay). I'm known for my hat collection so you will most likely see a bunch of them throughout this blog. I just adore this hat because it goes with every outfit I wear and can take an outfit from level 6 to level 10 (and we all wanna be at a level 10 right?) Also, if you're having a bad hair day, just dash on a hat and it'll make everything better :-).

But as I predicted, I went over on this post! I am writing this when I have work in a bit so should really be getting ready, but hope you enjoyed this and enjoy the rest of your day wherever you are!

Peace and Love

WOWW, a first post of a blog is always a big deal isn't it, so I guess I've got to make this the best I can right? I am literally just getting used to all this blogging stuff so I honestly have no clue how to use everything but the main thing is that I am here right? lol. I've been meaning to start one of these for such a long long time (and by that I mean like a year) but kept putting it off, eventually I managed to allow myself to be convinced to start one up so here we are I guess!

I am Rashida, and I would mostly describe myself as a social misfit, its kind of out of context in a way because I am the most sociable person you will ever meet (if you ever are to meet me that is), but I consider myself one because a while back I came across the phrase with a friend who described why she thinks she's one and that was because of all the embarrassing things she's had to endure in her life and I legit thought "YES THAT IS ME" lol, so it kind of stuck I guess. I also have an unhealthy addiction to retail (no trust me its so so bad someone should take my bank card away from me), I will happily spend the day window shopping or buying clothes and putting outfits together and all of that jazz! So thats what I plan to do with this blog, you've probably seen it 1000 times before so I promise to not be a clone and I will try my hardest to mix things up. I also have an unhealthy addiction to going to concerts but thats a story for a different day. I love talking too! So do not expect anything but a long post from me detailing about my outfit and random stuff I've done in the day haha.

But I have kind of ran over with this post (this will be a regular occurrence so get used to it) so let me just end this right now lol. But I will try and update this as regularly as I possibly can! Not too much to clog up your life with my rambling but you get the jist! But yeah, thats all from me, for now. Not too cringe for a first post or nah?

Peace & Love!!
