Wishful Wednesday

1. Twisted yarn slouchy jumper £39 MISS SELFRIDGE | 2. Silver spike headband £7 RIVER ISLAND | 3. Pom pom ears cap £4.50 ASOS | 4. Vintage dungaree shorts £38 TOPSHOP | 5. Blue dip dye dress £32 MOTEL ROCKS via TOPSHOP | 6. Flat top round sunglasses £7.50 ASOS | 7. Cream blazer £34.99 HEARTS & BOWS via ARK | 8. Cream ears beanie hat £13 River Island

1. This jumper is grungy yet soft, I like that.  Perfect with a pair of pleather jeans/skirt or a distressed pair of jeans.
2. After being converted to the headband-wearing side after wearing this one, this would be great another great one to start the collection.  Subtle, but edgy.
3. I'm not a sucker for wearing caps despite the huge sports luxe trend this season, but the pom poms make this more cute than chav.
4. I haven't worn anything in dungaree form since I was young enough to shout at my mum when she was dressing me because "No, I can fasten it myself!", but after seeing Rite Ora rocking dungaree jeans on her 'R.I.P.' video (and making them SEXY, whut?), I have to give these a try.
5. I try to stay away from mini body-con dresses but this would make a statement all on its own thanks to the dip dye effect.  No jewellery needed for this dress.
6. Definitely a peculiar shape but after seeing them on Heather I added them to my wishlist straight away.
7. I've been after a white/cream blazer for so long but have failed to find one which doesn't burn a hole in my pocket, well, until I spotted this one.  Would look great dressed with just about anything.
8. So cute for the winter but would also look great with a plain tee and a pair of jeans on pretty much any day.  Result.

Wishful Wednesday


Lots of different items on this week!  As you can probably see I am really into minty blue colours, hence the Nike hi-tops, I don't even like Nike hi-tops?  Except these ones of course, these ones are genius... And totally tick off the whole sporty chic trend going down next season.
I've been fighting with myself over the past few days about whether I want this tiger top or not.  I've always loved tigers, they're beautiful animals, and thus was drawn to this top in a second, but I am trying to drag myself out of wearing anything t-shirt like in order to move on to more grown-uppy stuff like shirts and blouses.  But maybe this one could be an exception... But you know what, I won't be coming anywhere close to buying these any time soon and I broke my spending ban last night, as I mentioned in my earlier outfit post, and therefore trying desparately not to spend any more!  But I don't really feel bad, it was a well thought-out decision (I'm such a nerd) and ASOS are having a 20% sale off at the moment so I couldn't really say no to that, could I?

Wine & black mesh





COAT: TOPSHOP | DRESS: MOTEL ROCKS | SHOES: CONVERSE

I saw this coat in my local Topshop the other day, it had been reduced from £89 to £40 but decided not to buy it.  Well, until the day after... I kept doubting my decision and so decided to go and get it.  It saves me spending eighty pounds on a coat next winter anyway, right?  So technically I've saved money.  Clever me.
I received this dress for Christmas after seeing it a few months ago and liking it straight away.  The mesh and glitter detail is what drew me in, and I found out it has subtle shoulder pads too which is a plus for me.  This is the first and only thing I own from Motel Rocks at the moment, but I'll definitely buy more from there when I get the chance, they have some lovely stuff.
Full day at college tomorrow but it's Friday so s'all good!  Hopefully I'll catch up with my sleep this weekend, I keep nearly dozing off in my classes... Oops.
