OOTD: All Pencil & Some Bows
First of all, thank you for loving my peacock eye makeup! I was very pleased to be able to replicate what I saw on the magazine. If anyone is looking for a whole lot of colours in small portions, may I recommend the
Coastal Scents 88 colour palettes? They are cheap (again, that's relative I suppose) and the quality is great, super easy to put on with strong staying power and brilliant colour selections. That's what I used for my peacock eye. They have other palettes too so you can check out and see what rocks your boat.

Nicole's lead on pencil skirts, I've remembered that I had a pencil skirt from ASOS which I have not reviewed so I dug it out along side with some accessories that I had for years and never used.
I had these neck bows and suspenders in my wardrobe for ages. When I mean ages, I mean like 5 - 8 years at least and I've never once wore them! I feel determined to bring on the justice and let them see the sun at least once. Suspenders are so difficult for women with boobs. If I put them on each side of the boob, it looks way obscene. If I let them lay on my boobs, it looks odd and constricted. These pictures above are just for your viewing pleasure. I stuck with the red neck bow look because I think at least I looked like a huge present walking and that's cute!
Verdict for the ASOS CURVE Bengaline Tab Front Pencil Skirt:This skirt is very elastic! It has an elasticated waistband and the material of the skirt itself can mold itself to your shape pretty well. I have never found a pencil skirt that fits so this is my first and I am pretty happy about it even though there's still some room for improvement. I feel that given the versatility of the material that it is made of can bring me far in the long run. I don't have to dress up for work so I always attempt to dress down with this. What I do wish for this skirt to have for more belt loops so that I can wear a belt over the waistband. It does have all but 2 belt loops (if they are even for belts at all) and if I put a belt over it, the belt will move around which is quite annoying.

aww cute bow checkout my new giveaway if youd like Im giving away a red hairbow! :) I love your photos !
I go through the same issue with my suspenders, they're just collecting dust in my closet because my boobs make them look really weird, and thats a shame because I really like suspenders. I was looking around in my gramma's closet today (she has a lot of vintage clothes) for a pencil skirt, but they all seemed so constricting, and the one your wearing seems really casual, but the belt loop issue would bother me. Otherwise, you look great! :)
You are adorable!!
Sounds like a good skirt! My pencil skirt is tight and constricting, and all around uncomfortable, and it always rips because it's got no give. This sounds like a much better skirt! Thanks for the review.
I don't wear suspenders for that reason - they need to make suspenders for us boobalicious betties! Buuuut I do love that pencil skirt on you! Pencil skirts are probably my favorite pieces of wardrobe, because they're so flattering on everyone; and your bowtie rocks my world. I want one now... These pics = adorable. I especially love the second to last one! You're so freaking cute!

I have a similarly huge eye shadow palette and now I'm determined to try the peacock make-up myself!
I love the red hairbow look! It really looks so cute! Actually, I've been thinking of an outfit with suspenders as well (although I don't have any suspenders at the moment), just because I'm wondering how it would look on me :D
these pictures are so cute and i love the bow tie look! i own a vintage multicoloured one myself but i've yet to style it with anything, but you've given me a few ideas :)
looking lovely as always xx

These pictures are so cute! I'm in love with your bow tie and braces set.. you do look like a cute present!! xx
Really cute skirt! It looks great on you! I like your little bow necklaces too.
Thanks for your comment! I was actually a bit apprehensive about pairing rust tights with navy and plaid, but I think it worked out well!

Love this! It's super cute! I adore the bow ties!
I have the exact skirt. Perhaps maybe one day I will make an outfit post. I only bought it so I could wear it to interviews and stuff (and I'm an education student so a future teacher having a pencil skirt is a must.)
You look so cute.
Love the bowtie! As a a woman with boobs, I can see how suspenders would be tricky. The pencil skirt looks like a great find :)
your photographs are so cute <33
love the bowtie! :)

Love the bow! It gives a pop to an otherwise solid palette. I think I'm to old to wear bows *pout* oh to be young and cute again!! wishing upon a star :)
You look lovely hon! The skirt looks great on you, i'm a big fan of pencil skirts xoxo
Red bows! Yeah! Love them and love it as a pop of collar with the gray and black!
Can I have some of your cuteness? ha I adore these bow ties and your suspenders! So quirky and cute :)
Love love love the outfit! The bow ties are such a cute touch x
baby, i love your style!
you are so cute!
i'm following you!
a lot of kisses from poland! :*
Very good idea the bow on your neck, it is so cute.
I totally agree...when I was younger and not nearly as curvy/chesty I had not issues rocking the suspenders...now is a different story. They look adorable on you though and I love the red bow!!! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Following you now:) xx Marisa
Yeah, thank you for pointing out that seemingly obvious fact about boobs and suspenders. I had never thought of it before, but I HAVE thought about purchasing suspenders...very glad I didn't, and I'm wiping the notion entirely out of my head now, because I have a nice set of 34Ds that would not work with them AT ALL.
I will, however, consider a cute little bow-tie, since it looks SO FREAKING CUTE on you!
These pictures of your are absolutely adorable! You look so cute in your suspenders! And thanks for the review on the pencil skirt. God knows how difficult it is to find one that fits well and doesn't emphasize problem areas--belly anyone? :)
hey! i gave you an award :) check it out!
those bows are super cute! I love the braces too :)
love the outfit, all the bow accessories are amazing

LOVING the suspenders & that red bow tie! so adorable :) Love the way you use all your accessories!
I love love love that last photo! Such a sweet idea to wear the bow tie with the suspenders with a simple tee and skirt!
I've actually never heard any reviews about it! I accidentally stumbled across it in Macy*s, haha. And I agree with you when you say that suspenders are difficult to wear! I think they look really cute, but they look so awkward, hahaha!
u totally just reminded me of the hubz rainbow suspenders! uve inspired me to steal from him. as always, u look lovely my dear! have a great weekend! xoxo!
this is super super cute! x
hello
