Who says everyday cannot be glamorous all the way?
Staying warm, comfortable and glamorous from the sun rise till midnight, can be done ohh so easily and I'm going to show you just how! Ohh and if you want to see those looks in motion watch the video on my YouTube channel avril vanes:
Viciously Innocent: Damned With A Legacy & Doomed With Insanity.
Here, I wore a black and white striped body con dress with a bold silver zip (H&M) and under it I wore a tight black long sleeved top. Black tights are a staple for winter as they go with everything as well as keeping you warm (Primark). Off-course, to finish this look off, I have on my favourite leather lace-up combat boots (Primark).
Tip: when wearing a black and white outfit you can always introduce color through your jewellery (like what I did with the lilac ring and purple velvet chocker).
For jewellery, I have on this magnificent and yet creepy choker which I DIY'ed. The pretty bold black lace piece with the purple velvet ribbon, give the chocker a Victorian essence to it, but the silver zombie hand pendent (Boutique) gives it that gory feel. I've also got on this native american man's head as a ring with silver and black tones (Republic), a silver and black heart ring (Claire's) and a silver ring with a pale lilac gemstone which I bought from a thrift store (Sue Ryder).

Unpredictably Ordinary: Redefining Normality With A Hint Of Obscurity.
In this look, I wore a striped green and black tight long sleeved top (H&M) with a black lace skirt (Republic). I've also added a thick black stretchy belt to snatch and define my waist even more (DIY'ed). As usual I wore my ever so comfortable grungy looking black combat boots (Primark) with my warm and thick black tights (Primark).
Tip: When experimenting with mixing patterns, try and mix the fabrics and textures of the clothing items as that can add a more interesting look to your outfit as it can turn your look from shabby to chic.
Now, for jewellery I kept it simple and minimal by wearing a couple of rings. I wore my owl silver ring (Claire's), a silver lock ring (Claire's) and a silver heart ring (Claire's).

Punk meets Pop: A Blast of Color & A Dose of Pop Art Makes Punk Even More Funky!
Here, I am wearing a black long sleeved dress with sheer and velvet polka doted panels. The sheer panels are what make the look edgy but the dots are what make the outfit versatile in that it can be worn day to night. I have on a black cardigan (Primark) and on top of it is this long black woolly coat (Republic). For tights I'm wearing: one thick pink tights and on top is this thin black pair of tights with the pretty rose pattern. This pattern makes the look softer and more feminine. The black combat boots finish off the look nicely.
Tip: layer jackets with hoodies or cardigans with one solid color or a set color scheme to make it more of a refined look without having a blast of different colors, because that can give off a messy unfiltered look.
For accessories, I only have on this spiked pearl silver necklace as it has character to be noticed but it is still some what understated so that it doesn't overwhelm the look.
What is your favourite outfit?
Kisses,
Avril Vanes
