Four Ways to Wear a Velvet Skirt

As I mentioned in a previous post, I recently aquired a black velvet skirt and have since struggled with what to pair it with.
This post is probably a bit late really since personally I am already looking forward to Spring but hey!
Also this is my first ever fashion post (I think) so let me know if you guys like them or not,  I guess?
Note: Ignore my terrible posing and pale fake tan-less legs please...

After trying on what seemed like my entire wardrobe, I decided on four main looks- 
1) Jumper- I paired it with my new red jumper, black tights and maroon wedge lace up heels. I think this outfit works with the jumper both tucked in and left out .

2) Graphic Tee and Blazer-This is what I wore when I went out with my family for a meal to a local pub, whilst the blazer makes it  a bit more formal the t-shirt makes it a little more casual (And I couldn't resist getting a bit of Harry Potter in there!) and pairing it with grey tights keeps me warm without making the outfit too dark as it would if I were to wear black tights. Also sorry about how blurry this photo is!

3)Denim Shirt and Graphic Tee- This makes the skirt look a bit more casual and would be perfect for spring as it's getting a little warmer.

4) A feminine blouse- Lace or chiffon would go well with this and makes the outfit look a bit more formal great for a meal out. In this photo I'm wearing plain black heels but you could also swap them for flats. You could also add a blazer over the top to keep you warmer.

Which was your favourite look? Tell me in the comments...

Mini Primark Haul

A couple of weeks ago (quite a few weeks now!) I went to Primark with my mum and sister and picked up a couple of items which I thought I'd share with you. There will be a future post involving the skirt too ;)

I picked up this gorgeous red jumper,


a Black velvet skater skirt

And 2 pairs of super cosy fluffy lined tights, a knitted brown pair of tights and a super fluffy pair of slipper socks which are my favourite things ever.

Comment below if you have picked up anything nice lately...

Blog Anouncement and Christmas Decorations!

Announcement time! This blog is moving to a new URL and Look What I Made will no longer exist. I really hope many of you will choose to follow me over at my new blog. Beauty by a Geek will hopefully be going live towards the end of December 2013, that way I can start the new year with a new name and new blog! I'll see you there!
As a side note I put up all my christmas decorations in my bedroom on Sunday as i mentioned in my last post DIY Glittery Christmas Houses! So I thought I'd show you what my bedroom looks like now...


I spent the afternoon decorating, listening to  christmas songs and watching Annie Claus. All whilst wearing my christmas jumper for the first time. All in all I am seriously getting into the spirit! Christmas really is my favourite time of the year, everyone is just that extra little bit happier in everything they do, even strangers often wish you a Merry Christmas :D


I hope all of you are getting into the Christmas spirit too and will be happy to follow me on my new blog!
