Like A Prayer

Flowery Bow - Primark, Sunnies - Primark, Leopard Print Tee - Charity Shop, Necklace - Dorothy Perkins, Purple Trousers - George @ Asda, Ballet Flats - Primark.

Sunday is now officaly #flashbacksunday on What Chantal Wore Today due to the fact I only ever wear PJs on Sundays because i'm lazy and unsociable like that. 

I rather like this outfit - I have these trousers in green as well but I never know what to wear them with but when the sun comes back out (eventually) I will probably find inspiration from the light and team them up with everything and anything in my wardrobe from paisley blouses through to nautical stripes.

Pinball Wizard

Hat - Primark, Scarf - Primark, Leather Jacket - H&M, Gloves - Peacocks, Prince Tee - Topshop, Jeans - Topshop, Bag - River Island, Studded Slippers - Primark. 

So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me.

Paradise City

Lucha Mask - Vince McMahon Jr, Blingy Necklace - Primark, Lace Dress - Internacionale, Pokemon Skirt - The Happy Shack. 

This one time I flew over to Florida and tried out for WWE and Vince was like all like WHOAH you're a tough little 'un, here you can be my new female lucha but then I couldn't get a visa so it never happened but I did get to keep the mask - that's my story and i'm sticking to it.

In other news, I love my Pokemon skirt more then ANYTHING - Togepi is my number one favourite Pokemon, he's just so darn cute!

I wish I could find old-school fabric like this in the charity shop and make my own skirts but it's near enough impossible - charity shops are the worst now.

American Life

Blazer - River Island, Bug Necklace - Topshop, LBD - Zara @ Age UK, Boots - S**t Shop. 

This is totes my new favourite work outfit - even if my feet are absolutely killing right now but HEY it's totes worth it!

Oh BTW if you're thinking "By god she looks rough and tired" - it's because I am, i've been up since 5:30am. 

Civil War

Fur Coat - Charity Shop, Black Turtle Neck - Primark, Mockingjay Necklace - Hunger Games DVD, Tweed Skirt - Primark, Ankle Boots - S**t Shop.

Unchained (The Payback Untouchable)

Fur Coat - Charity Shop, Snake Necklace - Accessorize, Lace Top - Interncionale, Gingham Skirt - Matalan, Pointy Shoes - Schuh. 

This is totes my new favourite outfit - even if every item is over three years old but hey when have I ever cared about what people think of my fashion sense? NEVER. 

OMGz I am wearing NOTHING from Primark - WTF?!

Enter Sandman

Parka - H&M, Grey Shirt - Mam's 'Drobe, Crucifix Necklace - Primark, Dogtooth Trousers - Matalan, Nude Brogues - Primark.

Yes I am aware that I look like i'm off to play golf and yes I wish I never wore this today. 

Plus this shirt is just the WORST by 9:10am it had five different stains on it despite me doing absolutely nothing between 8:45 and 9:10. 

My Sweet Lord

Leopard Print Swing Dress - H&M, Red Leather Jacket - Vintage, Boots - Primark. 

Another blast from the past this week. This picture is from two years ago when I was exploring the 'Back to the Future' trend for a fashion piece in Tside - http://www.tside.co.uk/2011/back-to-the-future/.

I love this look - I should do it more often.

 

Bad Medicine

Shirt - School department at Asda, Collar Tips - Primark, Undertaker Sweater - eBay, Jeans - Topshop, Boots - Office, 

I love my Undertaker jumper - it is by far one of the coolest items of clothing I own along with my OTT 80s wedding dress, WW1 military jacket and my million and one vintage cocktail dresses.

Live And Let Die

Shirt - Matalan, Leather Jacket - H&M, Jeans - Topshop, Boots - Office, Henry Clutch - The Floor. 

How fetch is my Henry Clutch? It's totes the hottest new trend! You can put everything in him like, erm, a boiled sweet tucked into his collar. 

Brown Sugar

Blazer - F&F @ Age UK, Blouse - Primark, Bodycon Skirt - H&M, Shoes - Primark. 

You know those days when you wake up at 8:20 and need to leave the house in 30 minutes? - Today was one of those days hence the scruffy hair and fugly blazer.

Tomorrow I promise I will look nice!

That's Entertainment

Cowgirl Shirt - Matalan, Jeans - Topshop, Shoes - Topshop, Little Unicorn - Toys R Us.

For a family who aren't actually cowboys/cowgirls we (dad and I) own 15 pairs of cowboy boots between us - we are just that cool and want to be Texans that bad.

I did almost wear my purple cowgirl boots with this outfit then realised that would be a bit OTT - I tell a lie, it's only because I couldn't find them underneath all my other shoes or I TOTES would have worn them. 

I Wanna Rock

Panda T - TK Maxx, Pink Sweats - Matalan, Penguin Socks - Primark.

Don't worry I didn't go to work like this today nor was it one of those "We can't think of any other sponsor activity because we have no creativity so wear your PJs to work today." 

Today the office went and I did pilates and this was my workout wear but it's totes fug so Kara promised she would take me workout wear sometime this week so I actually look fo' real and not like some big kid!

The Power Of Love

Today I felt like an Olsen Twin in this outfit - except for, you know, being a foot taller.

This is my new favourite dress of all time - I want to wear it for my wedding with a pair of cowgirl boots, a beehive and of course my fringe leather jacket.

Sweet Child O' Mine

Fake Glasses - Primark, Cardi - Bank, Marvel Tee - TK Maxx, Jeans - Topshop, Fringed Boots - Internacionale. 

Another flashback outfit (I'm still ill and in my PJs) - taken around 2009 when I was still at university and taking pictures of the various looks of Chantal for a project (i'll upload more throughout the next few months.)

Few notes: 

A) This was when I used to wear glasses thinking it was cool as f**k and not knowing that four years later I would be wearing glasses every day as I can barely see the screen after a few hours.

B) I threaded each single bit of fringe with a bead on those boots - it took bloody ages!

C) I still own those Topshop jeans but I NEVER wear them as they are too normal for my liking - but i'm up for any reccs :).

Don't Cry

Guns N' Roses Tee - Primark, Watch - Swatch, Jeans - Topshop. 

Aw look how nice my hair looks in this picture. However, I do want to change it - I want hair like Jessie J, old Jessie J not BALD Jessie J - what should I do?!

Fool On A Hill

Blazer - River Island, Bling - Primark, Comic Relief T - TK Maxx, Watch - Swatch, Belt - Charity Shop, Skater Skirt - S**t Shop, Studded Bag - Primark, Boots - Office.

This was my comic relief outfit I wore today for Red Nose Day - I even have the red nose aka the spider vein I have on my face :(

I plan on wearing this top all year round btw as I bloody love The Beatles. 

California Girls

Fluffy Tweed Coat - Debenhams at Oxfam, Lace Tights - Calzedonia, Ballerinas - Primark. 

I want to just stay in this pink fluffy tweed coat all day as i'm that ill and it's sooo snuggly. All I want in life is a cuddle of my boyfriend but knowing my luck he'll get this whatever I have and then like, die or something unfortunate like that. 

Disco 2000

Necklace and Bracelet - Felike Van Der Leest, LBD - Primark, Studded Belt - Charity Shop, Studded Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell eBay. 

As you can tell by my hair of a million different colours (WTF is happening with my roots) this wasn't taken today - but the picture I did take today was HORRIBLE as i'm deathly ill so ya'll can take a gander at this picture from the archives instead. 

This was taken for a campaign ran by mima called #wearmima where members of the public could pick a piece of jewellery created by an artist and then do a haul vlog on why they chose that piece which was then uploaded on to The Space by BBC.

You can see the video here - http://thespace.org/items/s0000l4j - it was #shamazing to do and I hope there's more like this in the future being the true little fashionista that I am.

Paranoid Android

Leather Jacket - H&M, Cowgirl Shirt - George @ Asda, Skinnies - Primark, Boots - Primark

This outfit was taken mid-shot of me stumbling onto the floor and Gypsy-Lady running away to get the cat - very action packed. 

Walk This Way

Hairband - NO idea, Studded Dress - Primark @ PDSA, Watch - Swatch, Shoes - Primark. 

This was very much the wrong outfit choice for the crazy weather we had today - tomorrow i'm totes wearing a ski suit. 

When You Wish Upon A Star

Fedora - River Island, Fringe Jacket - eBay, Cowboy Shirt - Dads's Wardrobe, Levi Shorts - Portobello Market, Cowgirl Boots - Charity Shop. 

I'm too ill and tired to take a picture of what i'm wearing today (sweats & oversized jumper) so thought I would show you one of my favourite outfits of all time.

This was for my BFFs Cowboy and Indians 21st - I wouldn't wear this whole get-up IRL actually I would - I love it so much. 

I'm always the one who turns up in the best outfit when it comes to fancy dress parties. I always want to look like i'm genuine rather then well a slut - Harriet Potter would never wear this!  

Whiskey In The Jar

Snood - Big Hevs, Castlegate Shopping Centre Hoodie - Uniform Box, Jeans - Topsop. 

THIS DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE ME - I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT ONE BIT. 

Manhattan

Studded Hairband - Miss Selfridge, Leopard Print Cardie - Charity Shop, Black Tee - Primark, Pink TuTu Skirt - Primark, Ballet Flats - Primark. 

I love my pink tu-tu I feel v. SJP in it - except for sticky out nipples, nobody want's that!

You would think from my 15 years of ballet I could hold a move and turn out my feet properly but NAH.

Wild Child

Leather Jacket - H&M, Grey T-Shirt - G21 @ Asda, Crucifix Body Chain - Miss Selfridge, Alexa - Mulberry S**t Shop, Jeans - Topshop, Spikey Boots - Internacionale. 

I've had this body chain for aaaages now (It was only £1) but I have never had any idea at all what to wear it with (since everything I own has a patten on it) but now i've finally found the perfect outfit for it - YAY. 

Although because of what I'm like I won't be wearing this outfit for another three months now - oh well, it can be a seasonal piece.

The Real Slim Shady

Pink Lace Dress - Dorothy Perkins, Bird Necklace - Matalan, Leopard Print Belt - Primark, Watch - Swatch, iPad Mini - Currys/PC World, Shoes - Garage Shoes. 

I love my pink lace pencil dress soooo much - it's perfect for important meetings/events where I have to yano actually look proffesional rather then my usual weirdo self.

I love my iPad Mini the most in all of the whole world though - I don't know how I lived without it! Now when I use my plain old iPod touch i'm like: "Ergh, this is the worst thing ever."

Silver Machine

USA Scarf - Primark, Kitty Tee - H&M, Jeans - River Island, USA Sneakers - Primark.

As Hulk Hogan would say - I am a real American (AMERRIICAAAANN.)

I have American EVERYTHING - shame i've never been there, I think it all stems from my love for Axl Rose. 

We Go Together

Studded Hairband - Miss Selfridge, Bone Earrings - Topshop, Fringe Jacket - Primark, Lace Dress - Primark, Black Satchel - Primark, Micky Mouse Tights - Christmas Present, USA Shoes (Hooooo) - eBay.

OMG why didn't I get that fugly frog for £2 btw?!

Hungry Like The Wolf

Mockingjay Tee - HMV, Skinnies - Primark, Frog Socks - Primark, Vans - Bennys. 

PLEASE ignore the bright green socks. 

This is me pretending i'm Katniss - which is all I want in life. Well except for all the TERRIBLE things that happen to her. 

Personal Jesus

Fringe Jacket - Primark, Crochet Top - Zara, Peace Necklace - Primark, Skinnies - Primark, Alexa - Mulberry S**t Shop, Leopard Print Shoes - Topshop. 

This photograph was taken mid-falling over - I hurt my knee :(
