I fell a little bit in love.

I very rarely shop anywhere other than vintage shops and when I can afford it- Topshop. I am back in Nottingham now, back to the world of student living, where shops believe it is appropriate to offer us 20% off. How dare they do such a thing- obviously I am not really complaining, but it makes me buy more than I can actually afford. I am one of those terrible people who will buy something that I believe I really need and love, and then three weeks later I will hate it. It will sit in my wardrobe starring at me. So this year I told myself, buy staple items that you will not go off.

So I bought a bright red skirt.

River Island has always come across slightly tacky to me, they over-embellish many of their clothes. So when I saw the 20% off sign, I didn’t believe that I would be drawn in- oh what brilliant will power I have. I came out with a skirt that I have fallen a little bit in love with; it fits beautifully with my blouses and has a vintage feel to it. I wore it tonight with black brogues, black tights, a baggy grey t-shirt and an emerald green necklace I recently purchased from Topshop.

One day I will learn to actually take photos of myself in my clothing- but for now, you can see the beauty of my new items attached to my overly busy walls.
