I didn't go too crazy in the Topshop 20% student shop as I was mainly looking for birthday presents for my sister. I couldn't resist a few basic pieces though and came away with:
- The cropped stripe t-shirt is super comfy and has little shoulder pads - adorable!
- The slouchy grey long sleeve tee has buttons up the back - I love pairing it with dressy skirts and heels to make everything more casual - very MK.
- This isn't the exact print I got but the drapey shape is the same - I want to wear it with bodycon dresses to make a more slouchy silhouette for day.
- This pink flannel shirt was so soft and comfy and a bit more low key than other plaid shirts - I tried on a more typical plaid coloured shirt (blue/green/red) but it just looked a little TOO plaid to be a tongue in cheek fashion item.
--------------------
ALSO.. I tried on the thigh high boots and saw this guy laughing openly at me as I paraded around in them. So obviously, I looked hot, hahaha. But in all seriousness, I decided against them because I have both suede and leather slightly-over-the-knee boots that I love but do not wear enough and any new ones would just have contributed to that pile. Plus, living an hour away from university means that I can't wear silly impractical shoes as often as before! C'est la vie.

Sorry about the lack of outfit pictures - I just haven't had time to take pictures of myself recently! This masters course is proving to be pretty hard to settle into..
Hugs and kisses to all my readers - thank you for making this all worthwhile! It's so gratifying to have (virtual) people who appreciate fashion and who don't stare weirdly when I wear too many studded/leather/crocodile emblazoned items of clothing all at once!

ReplyDeletegreat basics. can never have enough striped, grey and flannel shirts :D i miss topshop so much!!!
ReplyDeletecuuute pieces
ReplyDeleteGreat purchases! I love the shape of the drapey top. I also admire you for not giving in to your thigh-high boot craving. I often buy stuff I technically already have and get angry at myself for buying more stuff than I can wear. I am currently looking for a perfect pair of thigh-highs though, as ever other boot I have goes below the knee. Fingers crossed I find the perfect pair!
