OOTD: Am I Beyonce yet?

19 July, 2012


Fringed Poncho*: House of Deréon, c/o Room 31 // Sunglasses: Primark, £1 // Necklaces: New Look & Topshop, £7 & £1.50 // Shorts: Charity Shop, £1.99 // Anklet: Claire's Accessories, 75p // Sandals: Urban Outfitters, £18 (w/ staff discount)

I don't think I've worn a poncho since the early 2000's when they suddenly had spurt into mainstream fashion and were sold everywhere for a short time. However, this is the poncho that dreams are made of! I'm certain of it. It has most definitely rebuilt my love for ponchos and I feel we need to bring them back into our wardrobes! This enchanting blue butterfly print one was sent to me from the wonderful and ever lovely Room 31 who sell an array of beautiful clothing that includes labels such as Vero Moda, Brat & Suzie, Yumi and many more. Not only that, but their customer service is wonderful and they are always throwing discount codes at you on their Twitter account so they are most definitely worth a follow! This poncho in particular is by House of Deréon, which is the clothing line of the Queen herself, Miss Beyoncé Knowles! Anyone who knows me will know I am on a one woman mission to become as cool as Queen B (who am I kidding?!) and this poncho has helped me take that one step closer.

This poncho does come with a price tag of £70, but I can honestly say it's worth every penny. It's one of the most well made items I own and feels so luxurious. Not only this, but Room 31 are offering 50% off of absolutely EVERYTHING with the discount code SALE50 so you can own this poncho for just £35! The navy cut-off shorts I'm wearing are in fact high-waisted and cost me the price of a Happy Meal from a local charity shop. They're a perfect length too as they sufficiently cover my bottom as it recently seems impossible finding a pair of shorts that covers my entire derrière. This outfit really puts me in the festival mood! If only I had one planned for this weekend.

  24. WOW! that poncho looks fab on you! but i think that cute floral ankle bracelet has stolen the show. I love cute little assesories!
    Thanks for the comment on my blog- diso pant dupes are everywhere now and as such good representations! I can't justify spending 70 odd pounds on an AA pair (that over a week of food!!) for something I wouldn't exactly wrap in bubble wrap- I wore my pair on a plane! but if i had a money tree (and could alter the shape of my hips) i would go for the AA pair

  26. I saw your comment on "then she'll carelessly cut you" blog and I absolutely agree with you- I am so scared to go to have my hair cut 'cos I knew that one of hairdresses would cut my hair short AGAIN as I've been trying to keep my hair long for aaages. love the top, i am obsessed with everything fringey! xo
