I almost didn't want to write a new post because I loved the last one so much. However it makes me realise that I should do something about framing those old photos for my parents.
These days my favourite thing to do is wear knee socks layered over tights...which means tmy legs are extra toasty! I've got a bad habit of ripping these kind of dot tights so I'm glad to have discovered super cheap ones over at Primark (£2!). Guess I was a little late catching on!

There's still no escaping those granny ankles!
After rave reviews all over the blogosphere over the Barry M Instant Nail Effects Nail Polish, I had to check it out when I went into Superdrug today. There really is no need to shell out a hefty £10 on the OPI version, the Barry M version is only £3.95 and I loooove it.
So many colour combinations!

Ahhhhh we are sock and nail twins! I didn't even realise OPI had a version, but I'm glad Barry M is far more reasonable. I'm excited for what other effects they're going to create.
Love the mix of blues in this outfit;I also really want a braided belt now. See what reading blogs does to me? More disso fodder.
i lveo the crack nail effect and i love the sock and tights combo ^^
I love the socks over those tights.
I like your socks over tights option! And I wish I were in the UK...

great idea to wear socks and tights. I love knee socks but wouldn't wear them on their own in the cold. Your nails look great.
I love your shoes and nails!! I ought to check out the cracked lacquer from Barry m once I'm back in uk. I very nearly bought one from canmake but changed my mind. Wished I bought it now cos it was an LE!!
Your mix of colours and print is very inspiring. And I need a brown belt like that!
the reappearance of the granny ankles made me gıggle. ı havent heard about the new naıl polısh (seeıng as ım far far away) but ıt looks pretty cool!

I love the socks/tights layered look!
I love paisley!
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Right, I'm buying that Nail Polish next time I leave the house. Everyone is totally rocking those nails AND THEY LOOK FANTASTIC!
I love the over the knee sock trend. Fashionable and cosy: you can't go wrong.
i have those tights too, i love them! some dotty tights are so expensive with is silly because they break so easily.
Been hearing a lot about the nail polish.
still bummed out that I can't buy them in stores over here, sucks!
love the scarf and the shoes!

You look so amazing! Love your scarf!! And those nails are insane! Can't get over how awesome they look!
I want that nail polish! It looks great!
Love your paisley scarf. I stopped buying tights from Primark because I found I was ripping them even faster than normal tights!
the nail polish looks amazing! good call on teh tights. all i ever wear are plain black but it would be nice to have some other alternatives that don't break the bankx
I do the tights and socks thing all the time especially in winter! It's been so cold recently hasn't it? I really need to get me some of this nail varnish I can seem to find it in any of the shops here :(
That outfit is so pretty! I'm planning on a Uniqlo online spree any day now and have a bit of a weird question for you - whats the sizing like? Does it tend to come up any smaller than high street shops like H&M or Topshop? Thanks! xxxx
You have an award on my blog! (^_^)

OMG, YES. I love tights and high socks layered. ♥ So super comfy! It's almost like I don't need to even wear pants. You look super adorable. And I really wish we had a Primark here in the States! I'm so jealous!
The crack nail effects are absolutely awesome. I definitely need to try them for myself!
I think I might try this and I bought those dotty tights from primark as well. And the stocking were from primark as well, £3!

Love that sock over tights combo! Definitely a great idea for chillier weather and the scarf is a gorgeous find as well.
Ooh you have the crack nailpolish ! :D It's soo amazing!
and I totally love your shoes :)
I really need to try the nail effects, wow I am loving the outfit. I use to live in tights with over the knee socks for almost two years, so I adore this love. Good for if tights have a couple of holes by the toes too :P
I think you should get some frames for the photos, they will look lovely xxx
Awesome Ideas! I love them. Thanks so much for sharing them. Cool Crackle!
Ohhh I love how the pattern of the tights comes out just for a bit :)

Socks over tights! I love that this means no pants all winter!
Love Grace.

I love this look! You are giving me so much inspiration for what to wear tomorrow! :)
i love everything with paisley print! they're lovely.
I love the paisley print, I love it!! The nail polish has however triggered some sensory issues in me but, I LOVE the color combination!
Hi my dear-yes, a fabulous outfit and love the paisley print too! xx
We sell that kind of nailpolish at my H&M store. I haven't yet tried it .. looks cool tho :P
Hope you're having a nice weekend :)
blog snap with the nail effects! love the polka dot tights and socks combo xxb
Everyone's obsessing over that polish - I may need to get some and have a go!
Oh, didn't realise Primark were selling dotty tights for £2. I've been paying about £8 a pair for mine - not any more!! xx
http://www.weshopthereforeweare.co.uk/
awesome!
I love doing that as well! You're making me want some more dot tights :)
Love your outfit!! I do the same as you with wearing tights under knee highs, I still freeze though! Also had seen about the new barry m nail polish on their website, I'm quite tempted to buy a bottle now; the effect is awesome.
xx
I was totally amazed by that nail polish video. My mouth was open the whole time. haha I wonder if they sell them here :(((
And it's true that if the pufferfish isn't prepared right, it can be life threatening. ahh
That's so cool! I had no idea it was the thing to add blush in the pictures back then! We do it a lot now with purikura here
You're adorable !
such a lovely look- as always! love the socks, the belt and the shoes in particular! :)
xoxo
Oh I love this look Winnie, good idea about the socks over tights - might have to pinch that one!

I love those socks. I really love to see girls wear those. Hope you had a great weekend.
I really want to try the high socks They look fantastic with your tights.
The nail polish is fantastic. I used to have a white one a few years back and I would do multiple colors of nail polish under the crackle polish and it created an amazing effect.
I saw this on a couple of other blogs and thought it looked bizarre! Does it come in other colours? jazzy ♥
Your nails look SO COOL!!!!!! I wish I could pull those off, but I sadly work in an office environment...would probably not go over well.
i like the socks over the tights
I love the colour of your scarf!!:) Amazing nailpolish, also. :)SArahD
I adore your nail paint, really artistic. Chinitas are so cute. Lovin the outfit, prefect for fall.
