winter inspo post (^з^)-☆

hello again! 🧡💜

i did a poll on instagram and whether i should do a haul post or a post about my style inspo for the colder months 

and the winter inspo won!

so here it is, i’ll post just a bunch of inspo pics with a bit of explanation of them if it’s only on an aspect or a certain thing in the outfit, and some more unconventional inspiration i’ve been having too! then at the end i’ll do a check list of what my essentials are gonna be for achieving the goal 

like summer, late 2000s is my favourite so i’m still pulling all my inspiration from there, here we go!

the studded belt is everything!!

it’d be too cold in england over winter to have this much leg out but i’m still dying for these jumpers

these star socks!!!! i need them

andyyyy!!!! i’m her number 1 fan, queen of amekaji so i’m always looking at her socials for inspo 💕

these scans are from Lizzie’s november Popteen 2008 post, remember to go read the full post on her blog here bc the whole magazine is just perfect 🧡 ➡️ Lizzie’s post

i just LOVE the layering in this outfit

i found these pics on Kieli’s blog and totally fell in love, definitely go give her full post a look for more!! 💜 ➡️  Kielis post

one of the things i really love about these is the incorporation of the long boots!!! i think it gives all the outfits a cute but romantic looking touch, definitely perfect for december and new year!

the red coat!!!!! 👇👇

also these are from georgies January 2008 Ranzuki blog post!! she always has the best insight and explanations of trends and themes in her magazine posts, i can’t recommend checking it out enough!! 💛 ➡️ Georgies post

this mag had my really really wanting to put together more hot pinks and blues, especially with the darker elements mixed in! 

now for makeup and nail plans! it’s finally time for me to bite the bullet and TRY to make circle lenses work for me again

i’m cursed with sensitive eyes but i’m determined to find some that work, i really need them to be able to experiment with more eye shapes and still keep the balance in my makeup, i really want to try this sort of shape with more sparse top lashes and more intense bottoms without a heavy droop 👇

i also want to be more colour in the eyeshadow department! i know colourful shadow usually reads as summer, but with miserable weather i wanna power through with fun makeup 🌈

with the fashion being more on the sporty and boyish side with quite a few of these outfits, it puts more importance on the makeup, nails, and hair to balance it out for the look i want

so i really really want to keep up with nails this year! i’ve been saying i want to for ages but i really need to just go for it and learn how to do them already, character nails especially are my fave!!

finally just a couple more unconventional things i want to incorporate into some of my outfits! i’m excited to try it out i think it’d be fun

if you imagine these outfits but with gal makeup and hair i honestly think they’d fit right in with a lot of my other inspirations!

i think adding beads like these to my high tops would also help tie them in with more outfits since i don’t have any super bold coloured sneakers yet!

and i wanna try and get my hands on some ooooold drop dead stuff too, i just love it

i also checked out the local emo kid shop we have here i used to go to and they actually had quite a few things i want which is surprising! they have a hoodie like this i want to go get but it’s only in store, and also this t shirt

so! here’s the basic list of my essentials:

★ baseball/varsity style jackets and body warmers

☆ long sleeve graphic tees

★ circle lenses, probably light brown

☆ star, tartan and character patterns

★ chunky nordic style knits and bright cardigans

☆ puffer coats

★ long socks, bangles, chunky necklaces, sby style scrunchies etc (just in general, i need WAY more accessories)

☆ different coloured ugg style boots

★ pompom hats and ear muffs

☆ colourful high top sneakers

★ character and bold print crewneck jumpers/hoodies

☆ fun overalls and jeans

★ faux fur outerwear and accessories for the festive months

☆ plain tiered and pleated skirts for layering

that’s all for this post, let me know what your inspirations or staples are in your wardrobe for the colder months!! 💕

thank you for reading! next post will be the haul from summer i’ve been meaning to show lol
