Turn up the lights in here baby.

Gold quilted bomber jacket & grey marl crop top: TOPSHOP | High-waisted jeans: MISSGUIDED | Shoes: CONVERSE

I'm really liking this gold bomber jacket.  It is quite an unusual piece and, erm, three sizes too big, but hey!  You win some you lose some.  Gold isn't a colour I wear, really, except in jewellery, but I do have a skirt in nearly this exact same material, so I thought it only made sense to buy the jacket too.  I haven't worn them together, but it's something I'm planning on doing pretty soon... Maybe it's a bad idea as they're both pretty 'out there' pieces on their own as it is, or maybe that's what will make them work so well together.  Am excited.
I thought the jacket would go great with this outfit as the jeans are the crop top are both quite simple items so they can be easily dressed up.  The crop top is a new buy which I bought knowing it would go well with these jeans, I think the midriff is one of the more flattering sections of your body to show off which is why it's like these jeans were sent from fashion heaven.  The Topshop ones look amazing too but I can't afford them at the moment, maybe some time in the distant future...
So I've spent my day writing up my '50 Facts' post, I've been thinking of them over the last few days and I finally managed fifty.  It's not that fifty things is a lot about one person but I'm not very good at thinking on the spot and it's better if I let them come to me.  I'm also going to do a video on it so I'll put them at the same time, maybe tomorrow.  I plan to video a few things tomorrow, including a haul too.  Hopefully the weather will be okay for some outfit photos too, I much prefer outdoor pictures.  I love having a blog, it makes my days feel much more productive when I'm doing bloggy-related stuff.

If you want it, let's do it...

Red crop top & rose gold earrings: TOPSHOP | High waisted jeans: MISSGUIDED | 'Comme des Fuckdown' hat: EBAY | Shoes: CONVERSE

So I've been quite good over the past week as in I've found a few good things in the sales, but then I've been bad and still continued to buy items at full price.  I'd act all guilty and sorry, buuuut I'm not.  Hello, these jeans?  Yeah.  They may have been full price, but I got them for twenty two pounds, not including the student discount.  Er, wow?  Considering the famous AA Easy Jeans are going for a whopping sixty five squid, and Topshop have intoduced some for almost half that price, these are still the cheapest I've found.  And the only acid-wash ones, which is an effect I happen to really like.  I have had a couple of fashgasms over these babies, once when I saw the price of them online, and again when I tried them on.  Dayum.
There is a little story behind them: first it wouldn't let me add them to my basket, so I nagged and nagged Missguided on Twitter (it was NYE and they were very busy, in their defense) asking them why this was, and after two days of nagging (for real, I wasn't letting them get away that easily!) they got back to me saying it meant they were out of stock, even though it said they were available.  So I added them to my Favourites and checked back every day until - yay! - the 'add to bag' button had appeared!  Then I had to decide which size.  Y'know what shops are like these days - I'll be one size in Topshop and a different size in Zara, etc.  So I kind of took a stab in the dark and went a size-up, wrongggg, too big.  I tried to see past it and even put them through the wash on the first night in desperate hope that they'd be tighter the next morning.  Wrong, again.  So I told my mum last night and she said 'Well I'll have them ones because I like mine baggy and you get them in a 10', so I happily agreed and went to add the size 10 to my basket before they ran out of stock again.
Now I have to mention Missguided's delivery.  Like I said, I purchased them last night, they got dispatched within an hour or so later and they arrived on my doorstep this morning.  I paid something like £1.95 for the slowest delivery option they had, and I still received them in, what?  Like fifteen hours?  This is the quickest I've ever come across, I've seen quite a lot of shoppers give stick to them online, but I cannot fault them.
After all that I tried them on today and they fit amazingly, the length is perfect, the colour... Everything.  I am so pleased.  This is like the only crop top me (my mum, rather) owns, but I will definitely invest in some more now.  I think the little part of skin they show off together is so flattering.

That was a lot of words to say I was only talking about a pair of jeans, but come on, DEY SO SEXY.
Oh!  And this hat is new too, I've been after one of these for a while and finally bought one.  I've only seen them in black and grey before so when I found this burgundy one I couldn't resist.  I've asked everyone in my house "Do you get it?  Do you get the play on words?" whilst pointing at my hat.  None of them looked very impressed, plus I had to describe each time that there is a brand called 'Comme des Garcons'.  You get it though, right...?

And does owning this mean I can be a full-time gangstah now?
Brap brap!

Wishful Wednesday

1. Floral shirt £19.99 H&M |
2. Cut-out shoulder tunic £28 TRULY MADLY DEEPLY via URBAN OUTFITTERS |
3. Paisley print shirt £40 ASOS | 4. Ribcage burnout tee £22 PROJECT SOCIAL T via TOPSHOP |
5. Indigo acid high-rise cigarette jeans £50 BDG via URBAN OUTFITTERS |
6. Batman print shoes £53 CONVERSE

1.   I've seen this shirt worn by a few girls on their blogs now, and I really like it, the colours are so priddyyy.  In typical H&M style it's much cheaper than you think it would be, too.  Bonus.
2. I really like cut-out shoulders but am yet still to add a top with them to my wardrobe, I like how this one's casual and would look great teamed simply with a pair of skinnies and some Chucks.
3. Paisley's huge this season.  Mixing prints is even bigger.  This shirt does both.
4. Who can resist a cool tee?  I mean, really.
5. I love me some grunge, so these jeans would be perfect.  They would create a really nice contrast with a crisp, white shirt.
6. Converse & Batman combined?  COUNT ME IN.  (Watch out for a post tomorrow, if you like these, you need to see what I've bought today!)
