So below you can see I posted a collage, which I created with the website Polyvore. Because I was having laptop issues, which are now resolved after I bought a brand new one, I can now post again! So here I will be letting you know more about the items I purchased below, because lately I have fallen in love with topshop all over again. There clothese may restrict me in the sense of money, but it doesn't mean I'm not tempted to invest here and there in a new pair of jeans.
Anyway, item A and B were tops I spotted on the Topshop online shop a couple of weeks ago. I originally bought the white version, but fell in love with it so had to have the black as well. These tops are so versatile, and already I have worn them for a couple of different occasions. Yesterday was amazingly hot, but later in evening when the temperature dropped a little, I changed into the white top, tucking it into a pair of acid washed shorts and some black leggings and a pair of white canvas shoes. I wished I had taken a picture, and next time I wear the outfit I will show you what I mean by changing the outfit up simply by styling the top with different accessories. I've also teamed the black version with a chunky gold necklace and a pair of skinny jeans (Picture C) and some low wedged shoes. I bought these tops from my local topshop for £20.
Item C was also bought from Topshop and I can't tell you how relieved I was to find these. Being only 5"3 with short legs, I find if I wear regular jeans, they bunch around the ankles and create 'granny knees'. Sometimes It's hard to get my hands on a pair that cater with specific leg and waist measurements. However, Topshop sell them and despite the steep price, I was in desperate need for a pair of everyday jeans. They fit perfect and once again can be warn in any occasion. I've already worn them into town on a night out and just popping to the local supermarket. They cost £38 from my local Topshop. A steep price, but worth it since I wear them a lot. I'm now saving to buy a new pair, perhaps in a different sahde of denim.
Item D are a pair of shoes I needed desperately. With this hot weather, I wasn't prepared with only owning boots and converse. These were £15 from my local New Look. These also are helpful to me because being a sixth form student, I am very limited on what I can wear- but these are great and fit the smart wear rule. I've already worn these out by the amount of times I wear these.
The last items- E and F are accesories I have picked up. I find that nail polish is a god send to people like me who can't maintain there nails all long and pretty. They're short and look horrible, unless I dash some colour on them. I love Barry M's Gelly nail polish's in the pastel colours- they dont' chip so easily and come off thick, which is a plus in my books. As for the mascara, I have yet to test this out because I'm always looking for the best mascara because my eyelashes aren't particularly long. I hope this one will give them a nice thick and long look, which is what I try and strive for when applying mascara.
So that was my weekly purchase list. Let me know if you have any of these items in your wardrobe and how you like to wear them. Perhaps you have some recommendations for me. Feel free to send me a message on the email provided in the sidebar!
