oh mickey, your so fine!

Hello fashion lovers! I hope you enjoyed my post yesterday about Manchester Fashion Week! It was such an amazing event to be invited too & I literally loved every minute! I will definitely be attending next year & I would love to see some of you there too!

My outfit for day 2 was super colourful, I wanted to have fun with it & this Disney top was absolutely perfect! I wanted to keep it super girly so that's why I opted for a pencil skirt rather than jeans! The whole outfit is from Primark, including accessories! I wish Primark would sell online so I could include links! I'm constantly blogging about Primark items because they are so affordable & now a days they are incredibly ON TREND! I have two Primarks near my house so I can't resist popping in a few times a month! Primark please have a online store soon, we need it!

Manchester Fashion Week! Part 1 #MCRFW

Hi lovelies! I had the amazing opportunity to go to Manchester Fashion Week & it was absolutely amazing. The runway show was so cool & I managed to spot a couple of celebs! One of them being the fabulous Denise Welch from Loose Women! When I was deciding on my outfit for the first day of Fashion Week I didn't have a clue what to wear but somehow it all came together! (well I hope it did!) I wanted to try something completely different & that's how the scarf ended up on my head! I absolutely loved it & bought another 3!

Oversized & Fabulous!

I've noticed the weather in the UK is getting slightly warmer! I don't want to get too excited though because us Brits know that whenever we get our cute little summer dresses out with excitement the weather plays a joke on us and we get soaked with rain! So I'm still sticking with my winter wardrobe for now! I decided to pull out this stunning vintage coat I bought years ago! It's actually a men's coat and it is ridiculously HUGE on me but I cant help but LOVE IT!!!! When I tried it on in 'Noahs Ark' charity shop I got a few strange stares! The first reason they were staring is because I walked over to the men's section & the second reason was because I put on this coat and I looked pretty hilarious in it! I was wearing converses and jeans at the time so the coat was basically dragging on the floor and the arms were hanging off my wrists!

HOWEVER, I do have a few tips on how to transform something huge & shapeless, I DO IT ALL THE TIME!

1. Roll up the sleeves! It immediately adds a very cool & relaxed approach to your outfit! & nobody will be able to tell its too big!

2. Add some killer heels! Heels spice up any outfit & usually gives us girls confidence! So put those heels on and stand tall ladies!

3. Add a statement broach! Broaches look incredible with a vintage coat! & they make your outfit look so expensive when really, it isn't!

So that's what I do when I find a coat in the men's section that I just cant live without! Vintage shopping is all about seeing the potential in an item. At first it may look drab but just be creative and see what you can transform it into! Don't be afraid to shop in the mens section, I'm always buying menswear... coats, shirts, jumpers... who actually cares! Fashion is for everyone and if I like something I will buy it regardless of who it was initially targeted for! So ladies, get in your boyfriend closets and see what you can take! Just see it as a gift to yourself for all those times he made you sit and watch football instead of your favourite reality show!

Vintage Men's Coat - £15 - Noah's Ark Charity Shop in Luton (High Town Road)

Gold & Black Trousers - £5 - Primark (Sale)

Black Chiffon Shirt - £5 - £7 - Primark

Black Heeled Shoes - £15 - Primark

So I want to know about any amazing vintage pieces you have bought and let me know where you got it from... I'm always looking for new places to shop! Don't forget, if you read my blog follow me on instagram & twitter too! @fashionandtingz

Lots Of Fashionable Love,
