Checkered shirt






 COAT: ASOS | SHIRT: ZARA | SKIRT: TOPSHOP

This shirt is the only thing I own from Zara.  I think it a checkered shirt is one of those items which every girl needs in their wardrobe, isn't it?  I was rushing my outfit so just picked these two out and I quite liked the outcome, despite the fact that it's quite boring for me.  The sun has gone away now for probably another monnth so it's back to taking outfit photos in dull, grey light.  I was quite lucky though because as soon as I'd finished taking these it started pouring it down. 
Anyway, it's Friday!  At last.  I'm only halfway through my college day as we speak and I just want to go to bed...

Pink skirt





COAT & TOP: TOPSHOP | SKIRT: RIVER ISLAND | SHOES: CONVERSE

Floatiest skirt I own + windy weather = several Marilyn Monroe moments, oops.  I don't like wearing anything too girly so I slightly toned down my pink skirt  with a simple grey top and my converse, of course.
Had a bit of a lie in this morning and then went to college for one lesson so it's been a pretty good for me!  Plus my brother won £15 worth of Love2shop vouches and gave them to me!  Aw love my bruv. Not sure what I'll buy yet though.  Full day at college tomorrow though and then lots of revision over the weekend, exciting times indeed.

Wishful wednesday

1. MISSGUIDED £9.99 | 2. ASOS £15 | 3. ASOS £38 | 4. TOPSHOP £15 | 5. TOPSHOP £30 | 6. BOOHOO £15 | 7. MISSGUIDED £26.99

Quite a variety of items in my wishlist this week, some wintery things like this dark green dress and some more summery like the backpack.  First of all, I just need to say how much I am in love with this Topshop dress.  It probably doesn't look right to you and the dress actually clashes with itself.  But that is why I love it. I tweeted about it a few days ago and keep just going back to look at it.  I am trying to save up for London but I think Topshop have a 20% student discount on at the moment... Awh man, you have no idea how tempted I am!  And speaking of going to London, this purse is parfait!  It's got a London map on it so kinda killing two birds with one stone with this one.  Been on the search for a new purse too.
The Missguided vest is kind of a substitute for the amazing Christopher Kane gorilla dress which is unbelievably distant from my budget.  And the BooHoo top is a nice piece which follows next season's aquatic trend without making you look like a mermaid.  Winner.

Yellow jumper

 




JUMPER: NEW LOOK | SKIRT: UNKNOWN | SHOES: CONVERSE

Ta-dah!  An early blog post AND an outfit with NO Topshop?  I must be unwell...  I bought this jumper yesterday in the sale and I'm really pleased with it, it fits well, it keeps me warm and it's soft.  Check, check and check.  Have also opted for my yellow Converse instead of my go-to black ones, must be feeling wild today!

Diamante studded shirt





COAT & SHOES: TOPSHOP | SHIRT: RARE | JEANS: RIVER ISLAND

I thought it would be appropiate to wear my Rare shirt today as I was complaining in my post yesterday that all I wear is River Island, Topshop and ASOS.  I also bought a new jumper from New Look today so am doing incredibly well with my task already!  If you can call shopping a task...
As you can probably guess this shirt is much more impressive in person and the photos don't really do any justice to the little diamante studs, it's a quite a simple item but it catches your eye and the studs really stand out in the sunlight, too.  Since it's a sheer shirt I paired it with jeans to keep it relatively casual and not too over the top.  Also these studded flats are a nice change from my Converse although it's way too cold to really wear them all day which is a shame!  I am ready for summer now, the cold weather and the frost would have been appreciated before Christmas but that's all done with for another year!  Although the sun isn't the easiest thing to take pictures in when it's facing the camera, I need to get myself a tripod...
