£100 to spend in New Look

What can I say, I'm preparing for autumn? Okay, in all honesty I'm not actually a fan of the tops and dresses that New Look supply but I do love their blouses, trousers and occasionally their shoes. I still haven't spent my £25 gift card because I can't seem to find anything that really catches my eye, and if something does it's usually a pair of heels which will never been worn anywhere apart from my bedroom. Although I do have a slight crush on them shoes, in fact I have a crush on the entire outfit! 

I wanted to find something girlie to put together but nothing seemed appropriate for the upcoming weather and the whole point of this project is to find something suitable. I already have a black pair of skinny jeans, but New Look seemed to think there was no need to sell light wash denims so I've stuck to the colour which matches all in it's place, however this colour seems to have brought the entire outfit together. Last year knitwear was the biggest thing since flares 70's, every where you looked someone was wrapped in either fair isle or cable knit and it appears to be making it's way back into the high street shops; this jumper was a little different to the usual white ones and I paired it up with a chiffon contrast shirt which could either be tucked or left hung out. 

I nearly always carry a bag around with me, but this outfit seems far too laid back to have a bag - it doesn't have any thing to do with the fact I couldn't find a decent sized/looking one at all - and I'd rather stick to stocking it with a floppy hat and cute frilled socks. This outfit works together because it's something simple for Autumn ready to keep you protected from the cold weather, it easily can be paired up with a warm jacket or coat come winter. Once again I am wishing for a spare £100 to fly my way so I can purchase my way to happiness.

yeah we danced on table tops

Last night was prom and there was a major disaster of not being able to fit into my dress the night before, as usual I panicked and got angry at everyone and managed to break down into tears however not all hope was loss as my mum called up a dress maker and LUCKILY she managed to fit in a readjustment for my dress (it was originally zip up but she added a panel with hoops and made it into a corset so I could breathe) which brought the cost of it up to £120 which still was a fraction of the price it originally comes at. (Betsey Johnson, £400 for a dress brand new, bargain!) 

My hair was also a last minute disaster as I decided I wouldn't call up any salons and book to get it done because I wasn't bothered till I couldn't do anything nice with it myself, so I bought a cheap Primark headband and my mum got an appointment at Toni and Guy (my first AND last ever trip there) which cost £40 but the photos show that it was worth it due to the fact it didn't fall out of place once. My make up was done in boots however I put on mascara myself as the brand the woman used on my trial was disgusting and made my eyelashes all stick together and not look long and luscious at all!

Come the end of the night my shoes were gone, however I made it to 3 hours in them but I couldn't stand the pain of the blister and I felt like I was going to snap in half! I danced with Paddy (he's the really tall one) and Olly (who isn't in these photos) and some of my old friends but spent half the night outside really talking. Prom was definately over rated but it was lovely to be with my friends for "the last time" as such.

Cannot believe 4 inch heels still manage to make me look like a complete midget next to these boys, 6ft4 and 5ft10 is not a good look for the 5ft1 girl. Do not enjoy being the small one in the group :( Oh and how amazing is that car!
