Blog Backlog!!

Sooo... I seem to have a huge backlog of clothes that I've not blogged about!! This obviously has to be sorted out!
You won't be disappointed though, as I seem to have had a fair few shopping trips to log!

Firstly this cute polka dot sheer top, I really like spots and stripes at the moment and thought this top could be dressed down or up depending on how I feel and what I wear it with.. It was from a concession in New Look and was £15!


Working at Topshop I get a uniform allowance so get 60% off a few items, the next 3 items are all from my uniform. Firstly this cute summer dress, although not summer yet I wore it to work with tights and got asked numerous times where it was in store.. Result!! Its currently on sale for £45.


Another item from uniform was this pretty cream lace dress.. I have noticed a fashion for cream dresses and black tights which I LOVE! However you have to make sure you wear the right tights, not too sheer and not too shiny! Think I have the perfect ones ready :) It is currently in store at £48..
  

I also wanted a less 'dressy' piece so picked up this girly blouse, I like wearing a pretty top with jeans and thought this would go perfectly! I think it would also look really nice tucked into a skirt maybe an a line denim one, or a more colourful one when it gets closer to summer! 

I also have my BARGAIN of the week!!! I absolutely LOVE red at the minute and found this dress from H&M in the sale in such a fashionable colour, for £7!! Its a silky feel fabric and although its a size 14, (I'm a size 10) with a waist belt holding it all it you would never be able to tell!


I also needed some basic tops/jumpers to wear just for casual day time. I got some plain boring camel, black and cream tops but also brought this jumper top as I really like the pastel dirty pink colour of it and it was good value at £12.99 :)

I got this T shirt from Zara at £9.99. I love it as I like being a 'princess' so its a bit tongue in cheek for me! I would pair it with some jeans, leggings or shorts in the day time but could tuck it into a skirt to make it a bit more funky!
 Finally I needed some new denim shorts for the summer. These were from New Look and only £20! They are a 50's style high waisted and light coloured denim.. I love these to go with anything from a sheer shirt to casual T shirt.

Still catching up...

Theres still alot more that needs putting on here! Its making me slowly come to terms with the fact I buy A LOT! haha. Oh well what young women doesn't!!
This week I got a few little bits.. firstly a cute light pink top from H&M, I got some new jeans from Zara as I find them a perfect fit.. and the basic ones start from £26! So cant go wrong I have brought them in 2 colours so far and am planning on getting more! Might as well stock up!!
Anyway wanted some tops that could go with my jeans.. So I thought this would look nice, with some black pumps and maybe a blazer or leather jacket..

I also brought some shorts from H&M. I love the cute daisy print on them, getting me ready for the summer.. Whenever it decides to come!! I wore them out the other week with a chunky belt and black top.. but could wear them in the day time too! And cheap at £15 too!!

This top from a concession at Topshop was brought to go with my black jeans and heels for a meal with my friends.. I like it as its not TOO dressy but has little beads sewn on to make it seem more evening-y!

It was also my sister's 18th Birthday this week and needed to get a smart dress for a meal with the family. I decided on a black shift style dress from Topshop. I really like this shape dress and I find it slimming and I can eat more as its not tight and clingy! Bonus!!
It was £40 but 100% linen and is black so can be worn a lot!!

And finally a little outfit snap! I have realised I wear Black A LOT!! Maybe next time I go shopping I need to get with the colour blocking trend!! But I just feel so safe in black!
I wore this out for a friends birthday, we just went for a couple of drinks at a bar so I went quite plain with my clothes, just bit more exciting with the tights and chunky necklace..
Thats all for today.. BUT!.... I got paid this week so next post will most probably be a LONG one!! Enjoy!

Better Late than never...

Im SOOOO bad at this! My computer died a few weeks ago and I have completely forgotten to keep up to date with this.. However my ability to shop has still remained in tact! Thank god really! Gives me something to write about!! Might have to split this up into a few posts.. So it doesn't look like I'm starting a small novel!

Right.. If I can remember this far back! haha
I still managed to get some last min bargins in the sale.. Most of them I have already mentioned but I also got this beaut cardigan from All Saints for £42!! How good is that!!
I wore it recently with a new dress I got from Topshop as will be shown below, I also like the fact this cardigan is quite thick so I can get away without a coat (obviously when the weather isn't below freezing!!)

This is my tribal patterned dress from Topshop, I like it as it goes with the safari trend around and the moment and as its just a cotton dress was reasonably cheap at £28 :)


Also as promised a picture of me in my black dress and new shoes! They wern't as comfy as I expected however!! But looked nice which is all that matters...
