Clothing Swap with Mercedes!




Hello there my lovelies!

I know it's been a bit longer than usual since my last post, but now that I've handed in all my assignments I'm a bit more freed up time wise, and can get cracking on with my blog for you adorable lot!

I came home today to find a beautifully presented parcel from the lovely Mercedes of M's Corner (YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMWhXO1XsmSiDHUUMwKmrXg ), who I did a clothes swap with. We both found a few items we didn't wear and posted them to the other person so that they could get some well deserved love! Needless to say I was absolutely over the moon with mine, and I thought I'd share my happiness and gorgeous new clothes with you to give you all an idea of just how successful a clothes swap can be.



The first item I tried on was this beautiful checked top with lace sleeves - perfect for dressing up or down depending on your mood!


This kimono hangs beautifully, and makes an all black outfit look ten times better, adding colour and pattern to dress up that casual, everyday look and give the impression that you've made an effort (even if you aren't leaving the house!)


This stunning knee length dress is just perfect for me - as a shorter girl I often find it difficult to buy dresses that are not only the right length, but don't make me look as though I'm a weird shape either, and I think this is just perfect! You can dress it up or down, or make it a bit cutesy with heels as well as socks if you're feeling your legs and want to show them off!


I have been absolutely loving crop tops recently, but the English Winter weather hasn't permitted me to wear them as much as I'd like, so imagine my happiness when I tried on this beautiful long sleeved crop! Again, because of my height, these suit me slightly better than full length tops, and so to have one to wear in the colder early months is ideal - and the pattern is gorgeous too!

I would definitely recommend clothing swaps with a friend, and I'll be wearing every single one of these in the next few weeks!
