Outfit of the Day & Giveaway: Specs Appeal




Shirt: Harper & Lewis – Shorts: Levis via Harper & Lewis – Fedora: Primark (similar here) – Ankle Boots: Cloggs – Tights: Primark  Glasses: London Retro via My Optique – Necklace: Primark (similar here)
Hey kittens, hope everyone’s feeling nice and festive? I feel like I’ve been bombarding you with blog posts but there’s just so much to show and tell y’all that it’s hard to squeeze everything in! As it’s been a few days since my last Outfit of the Day post, I thought I’d take the time to show you my vintage styling in today’s look.
Both my shirt and shorts in this outfit were from Harper and Lewis Vintage. They’re an online store specialising in vintage items (duh!), especially various jackets and levi shorts. The former is pretty practical for this time of year – the latter, not so much! However, I’m never one to turn down a pair of shorts and with some 200 denier tights, shorts -can- be weather appropriate in December, can’t they?
This oversized men’s shirt is fast becoming a favourite of mine; there’s just something so comforting about wearing a big, baggy, boy shirt instead of a fitted blouse sometimes. Plus, the colouring is unintentionally hitting the tartan trend that has been huge this winter. Comfort and fashion: killing two stylish birds with one stone.
As this shirt is pretty much the main event in the outfit, I kept my accessories fairly simple, opting for minimal jewellery and my trusty fedora (my winter hat essential this year) to add a little extra to the look. For footwear, my Cloggs own ankle boots are perfect for keeping my tootsies warm and dry this December and nicely pick up the gold in my necklace.
Finally, you might have noticed that I’m wearing my new glasses in this post. Yep, I wear glasses for work and although I’ve posted about them a couple of times before, this pair of tortoise shell London Retro specs from My Optique are my newest editions. I love that they’re kinda classic, kinda quirky and pick up all different flecks of colours within them. 
If you fancy getting your paws on a pair of these in the new year, I’m giving y’all the chance to win a pair of your choice (and prescription, if you have one!) as a little Christmas present. All you have to do is follow me on Bloglovin (I know, I finally got it) and go here to like the “My Optique” Facebook page and leave them a comment saying “Enter Lily Kitten’s Giveaway” as per the Rafflecopter instructions below – you know the drill. Good luck, kittens!

So kittens, what are your favourite type of glasses? Or none at all? Leave me a comment below and let me know! And don’t forget to follow me on Twitterlike my Facebook page and subscribe to my Youtube channel to keep up to date with all things fashion!
