Long time no post!
I have no excuse for not posting, i haven't been at work due to a back injury so was lying in bed all week in my pjs. So i had very little to post about really, but now that has all changed and i have quite a few posts lined up!
First of all i went shopping yesterday, i went by myself which might come across as quite sad. But i don't know if anyone else is like me but its quite nice go solo-shopping once in a while. Normally my friends will convince me to buy things i don't need so its nice when i'm on my own i can revert back to my frugal ways. This post is just going to be some snaps from the fitting rooms as i was trying things on, spot the theme running through! (click the name of the item for links to it on the website)
RIVER ISLAND
Scallop edge metallic top-£30 / Maxi skirt-as before
I loved everything i tried on here, the maxi skirt was the softest comfiest thing ever. The infamous scallop metallic top seen on the likes of Dionne Bromfield and Jesy from the xfactor girl group Rhythmix is just lovely, it really could be dressed up or down and perfect for the festive season! The dress is very short, and from someone who loves shortshorts thats saying something. The blurry picture i took doesn't do it justice though so click on the link to see it better, its a great LBD as its a basic cut but with an interesting material.
ZARA
I love Zara like adore everything in the shop. How everything looks so well made and expensive but its all reasonably priced. I tried on a lot of stuff in there but didn't want this post to be too image heavy. The dress may not be everyones cup of tea but i personally think its AH-MAY-ZING. It looks super luxe and reminds me of something that Tina Turner would wear. It is pretty cheap i think for the quality and if New Years Eve was just round the corner i'd be snapping this dress up- alas i have no occasion to wear this to so back it went! The tee is super cute and a nice subtle way to introduce a bit of sparkle into an outfit. So definitely check out Zara, again especially for stuff to wear for the upcoming festive/party season.
H&M
Pink Lace dress-£29.99 (i think)
H&M was pretty disappointing for me, they had a sale on (as did most of the stores) but with H&M there sale section was awful, there was no organisation, there were clothes just strewn everywhere. It just seemed really unappealing and more effort then it was worth. I also find that (i have no retail knowledge so this could be common) but that a lot of the items on the website in the sale are in fact not in my local store on sale. I only tried on two items in there and the shirt washed me out you only get to see this dress-ha. This dress is amazing though, it comes in this pink colour or cream. It has a really flowery lace design but the shape of it is really flattering, the cape sleeves are great especially for broader girls out there and the fitted body and the flared out skirt is the perfect waist creator! Can't find a link to it unfortunately!
TOPSHOP
Sequin Tee-?? / Maroon maxi skirt- £20 (in sale)
Peter pan collar jumper-£20 (IN SALE-only in pink on the website) / Skirt- as before
Topshop sale is always going to be a winner, their sale prices always seem to be reasonable and items that are still current to the season seem to be discounted. I did try on a few sale items but thought i'd show you more of the full price stuff as it will be more accessible to everyone due to not every Topshop store stocking the same sale items. The maroon maxi skirt doesn't seem to be on the website and the sequin sleeve tee doesn't either and i can't remember how much it was (bad blogger behaviour). The dress in the last picture is lovely, really nice and fitted. However, after reading a post by Emma here i may buy the Primark/Ebay version to save money! it'll be perfect for my visit to Birmingham to see a friend at uni!
So i don't know if you noticed the theme throughout what i tried on but i am loving metallics/sparkle/sequins etc at the moment and will be hopefully be filling my wardrobe with magpie worthy items over the next few months.
SORRY- for such a long post, hope you guys found it helpful and interesting! OOTD/wish list etc to follow soon!
