A guest post for the lovely Lauren

Hi everyone, today i was featured on the fabulous Lauren Loves blog but unfortunately my pictures did not appear in the scheduled post.
So because i cant go & change it on Lauren site i thought i would show you here (also thanks to the people who emailed me once they saw it).
Hi everyone I'm Alex, the creative mind (that may be a stretch) behind Life after 20. My blog is based around my whole life & this includes what i wear on a daily basis so one of my features i do is a "10 ways to wear" & at the moment i am sporting this AMAZING lime green vintage maxi (well on me anyway) skirt that i thrifted for a hefty £1

To date i have worn it 6 different ways (well 7 if you include this one) with the challenge being to make it a totally different outfit every time, to mix up the seasons & to just generally push my own fashion boundaries.

Anyway onto this outfit, this is a super casual way of wearing the skirt, its also a great representation of how you can mix a vintage skirt with some cheap Primark pieces for a great on trend outfit. Also pairing the navy blue with the green is a very subtle way of colour blocking with the jacket adding warmth (cause this is the UK you know!) but also giving it a edge!

What I'm wearing:

Skirt - Thrifted vintage.

Singlet/vest - Primark

Denim jacket - Primark.

I would wear this outfit shopping, to wonder around town, out for a meal, really anywhere!

What do you think of this combo? Where would you wear it?

Vintage outfit of the day!

1 Skirt 10 ways, outfit #6

So I'm now on my 6th outfit (see the others here!), this one is more of a winter outfit using one of my FAVE scarfs (even if its from Primark).

The other thing i love about this outfit is the mix of vintage and very cheap accessories to make a super cute outfit.

I think i could wear this to any casual event.

Skirt: Thrifted vintage.

Singlet: Primark

Cardi: Primark

Scarf: Primark.

1 skirt 10 ways, #5

So here in the UK where in the middle of summer.... So in true British style the past few days have been wet and cold!

This is reflected in this outfit (find the others here!).

I have teamed the lime green skirt here with my all time fave jumper which everyone else seams to have a love/hate relationship with.

What is the 100 day outfit challenge?

Recently i have been asked "what is the 100 day outfit challenge" i have also found alot of people googling it and finding my blog so let me explain.

The 100 day outfit challenge is a Youtube based outfit of the day challenge started by (i believe) Nadine the idea is that you don't buy any clothing or accessories for a total of 100 days and you make a different outfit every day and do a video for Youtube.

This is not only a way of saving money but also a way of using the items in your wardrobe and weeding out the things you don't wear.

Currently the people i am watching do this is Jeni and fashionschooldropout and obviously i am doing it to.

I think all three of us have broken the rules once during this challenge but its ok (its bloody hard).

I personally changed the idea a little, i decided not to buy ANYTHING no makeup, no clothing NOTHING and I'm also doing it in 2 parts one part here in the UK to show of my wardrobe here and then the other back home in Australia to show that off.

It is a very difficult challenge 100 days is a long time but its also great fun and i would love to see any and all of you ladies do it.

Check out all my videos here!

Day 44 of the 100 day outfit challenge!

1 skirt 10 ways, #4

Here goes number 4 of my 10 ways outfits (1, 2, 3) i really enjoyed styling these outfits and think they have all come together really well.

This look below i love, its a very casual day look that i have wore many times.

Although the nude singlet/vest is very muted against the skirt adding the floral cardi makes sure I'm not to washed out.
Skirt: Thrifted vintage.
Singlet: Primark
Cardi: Cotton on.

1 Skirt 10 ways, outfit #3

Hi folks,

Here is outfit number 3 of my 10 ways with the ones skirt (find 1 & 2 by clicking on them!)

I was wearing this top when i bought this skirt and was pleasantly surprised when i teamed the two together that they went quiet well together.
I feel that this button up men's top goes really well with the skirt and adds a masculine touch to this very feminine skit.

I would wear this outfit very casually. Maybe thrifting or going to a market.

Shirt: Cotton on mens (Australia)

Pin: Kenzie and Coco (Forster Australia)

Skirt: (Thrifted Vintage)

What do you think of this combo?
