Jumper: Primark

Shirt: George

Jeans: Warehouse

Boots (not really seen): New Look

Adding colour to my outfits this season has been a complete myth for some reason. Black has clearly won me over. However, when I spotted this jumper in Primark, I just needed to have it. Paring it with a plain, white, crisp shirt gave it a smart yet casual look that I absolutely adored and received a lot of compliments from.

The new time zone is really not on my side as it gets so dark easily and I come home late because I usually stay in the library after school to revise. Oh well, this will have to do.

Enjoy..

Wardrobe Staples by theupgradeables

Band of Outsiders red long sleeve shirt / H M short sleeve t shirt, $12 / Mango stripe shirt / H M jersey tank, $4.98 / Topshop petite black jeans, $60

As you get older, I guess your style may change. This has clearly been apparent for me as I've noticed that I've become more drawn to the more simple staple wardrobe pieces that look much neater and cleaner. These pieces can be worn in both summer and autumn, with a little bit of a tweak in each season. For me right now, I'm L O V I N G H&M and their simple and cheap items that I don't even know why I didn't like H&M before? Beats me. They have really nice staple pieces with lovely shapes and such cheap prices that I can happily afford.

The White tee can easily be paired with a lot of items that you can easily throw on when you're in a rush or on your way to school, which I will be doing quite often and it can look really nice with a pair of jeans. Whether its black denim, light wash denim or a dark navy denim pair of jeans, you simply can't go wrong.

I also really love the light blue blouse which I've been seeing on Hannah from COCOBEAUTEA on her Instagram page which I love!

Anyways, enough of the rambling, hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer.

Lately I've been having a little bit of fun with family and friends this summer before I go back to the hectic life of a student. So I've just gathered some images I've taken on my camera to show you the kind of things I've been getting up to. I've got much more pictures on my phone so I'll be posting more of the images soon and you can follow my Instagram: ThatChickYvetteB to have a look at some more pictures.

Enjoy...

A/W Wishlist 2

A/W Wishlist 2 by theupgradeables featuring h&m coats

I must admit, having a job is not always a good thing because...

1. You get paid - good thing right? Something wrong, well for me anyway

2. You start to look at things and think hmmm... " I can actually but this"

3. Pay Check comes in - finished on the day.

Recently I've been feeling like this will be me very soon, so I'm hoping I can find an appropriate way to save my money whiles also being able to afford certain things. If anyone has any tips on how to save money, please let me know because I'm in desperate need of financial help even though I'm usually excellent with my money but now that I'm actually getting and making my own money... That's a whole different story. Help!

Well, I'm going to keep on dreaming for a while before the money comes in so, Enjoy.
