Wishful Wednesday

1. Khaki jumper with crucifix elbow patches £38 LOVE | 2. Black fedora hat with chain £19.99 ZARA | 3. Black stud & spike rucksack £40 RIVER ISLAND | 4. Rose gold & silver boyfriend watch £30 ASOS | 5. Cocktail ring £10 ASOS | 6. Astronaut tee £25 TEE AND CAKE via TOPSHOP

1. I saw this in my local Topshop the other week and thought the cross elbow patches were really cool.  A bit pricey for what you get, but cool all the same.
2. I think hats are great accessories to add to any outfit, and this chain adds a perfect edge to the hat.
3.  Rucksacks are the perfect alternative to your average handbag.  The spikes and the faux leather just make it the bestest bag EVER.
4. I've been after a boyfriend watch foreverrrr, and this is the closest I can get to a Michael Kors watch without the hefty price tag.  I like the mix of rose gold and silver, too.
5. I usually go for quite fun rings, such as my moustache one, but I really like the colours on this one.  The spikes on the sides stop it from being too dressy, as well.
6.  This is just wicked.  Awesome with a pair of skinnies, Converse and a faux leather jacket.  Yes.

RUN DMC CUT-OUT TEE: TEE AND CAKE via TOPSHOP | BLACK JERSEY STYLE SKATER SKIRT: TOPSHOP | SHOES: CONVERSE

I wasn't sure what the weather would be like so I went for a kind of in-the-middle outfit, I did have some leggage on show (obviously), but I kept the outfit quite minimal and not-so-summery with the muted colours (apart from the bright red Converse).  Thankfully it did turn out to be sunny so I was fine and dandy, apart from the fact that it was also quite windy, and this skirt is the WORST for windy days, I was using all of my power to hold it down, thankfully I don't think anyone caught a glimpse of my bottom cheeks.  It is so easy to wear with things though and it only cost me fifteen pounds (and that's bloody good for Topshop).  The top is an old purchase which I think I'll still be wearing for, er, ever.  I wouldn't love it as much if it wasn't for the cut-out bits, it just makes the t-shirt that extra bit coo-el.  I get compliments every time I wear it, but sadly I bought it years ago so I don't think it's sold like anywhere now.  But it's okay, I'VE GOT MINE. *smug face* I did warn you the other day that I'd be wearing these Converse a lot, and here I am, wearing them for the third time in a row, which is like totally illegal in the world of fashion blogging.  Don't worry, I'll wear some different shoes tomorrow, although they'll still be Converse, so I guess that's kind of cheating...
I'm at college for one lesson today which isn't too bad, but already in my day I've whacked a kid in the face with my bag and made it cry, so it wasn't off to the best start.  I am also doing a bit CRAP in Chemistry at the moment, which is the thing which will determine whether I go to university or not, so I am working extra extra hard to get my desired result in my exam in a few weeks.  PRAY FOR ME, PEOPLE.

BLAZER: H&M | TEE: TEE AND CAKE via TOPSHOP | LACE SHORTS: ASOS | LEOPARD PRINT SHOES: CONVERSE via OFFICE

This tee is definitely one of the oldest pieces of clothing that's in my wardrobe, and it's not even that old, really.  But it was a love at first sight thing so I'll probably never throw it away, although the cut-out detail probably won't be appropriate for my fifty year old self.
I received some ASOS mail this morning (yay!) containing a new LBD and some way-more-fluorescent-than-they-looked-in-the-picture pink jeans (booo).  I was going to send them back but discovered I can't as I tore apart the original packaging (me with a parcel is like a lion with a piece of meat) which it turns out I needed... Maybe I'll end up loving them, but I'm not so sure, they just remind me of desperate teenage girls years ago wearing tutus and leg-warmers in all sorts of fluorescent colours to attend a hardcore rave 'foam party', ew ew ew.
