£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.

If I had £200 to spend in Topshop

So I've decided to take up a little challenge with myself, whether I'll continue this or not is a whole new challenge itself but I think it'd be interesting. I shall be giving myself an imaginary budget where I can choose whatever clothing I would wish to buy, the price will vary from shop to shop. I choose an outfit, and then blog about it. Seems simple enough.

Autumn is on it's way, although summer is still pushing through, so choosing outfits proves rather difficult as the weather is indecisive. This outfit is simple, the jeans make the statement and the top keeps it relax. I didn't want to through too many colours in together whilst having the jeans being a colour, although colour blocking has been in this summer I think burgundy doesn't fit into that group. 

Finding an ideal bag proved to be harder than expected, I usually like a big chunky bag in which I can fit my purse, phone, iPod, and SLR with any other items I need like a cardigan or jacket however I had to settle for what is a rather thing bag meaning my SLR would have to come apart if I fancied taking it out with me but I'm sure I can push around that. I wanted a nice pair of Chelsea boots to go with this outfit, but I think the brown on burgundy would of been far to close so settling for a wedge pair of shoes seemed good enough for me.

This outfit is simple, it can be worn to the shops, out for a meal with friends, or swap the shoes for a pair of loafers a quick and easy college outfit. Damn, I wish I defiantly wish I had £200 to spend in Topshop now.

Jeans: £40
Top: £28
Shoes: £70
Bag: £38

Total: £176

You could of done more

I may of gone a bit made with my shopping yesterday, however I am rather pleased with my purchases. (although it would be lovely to spend a bit more) I finally invested in a second bikini for my holiday meaning I won't go about just wearing one, I should try on the one from last year and see if I can squeeze my chest into it meaning I'll have three. I've also changed over my nose stud to a ring however it is actually MASSIVE and I need to get a smaller one so I look less idiotic. 

I also got an iPod touch 4th gen which is brilliant because I wanted one for ages but never had the money myself to buy it and didn't fancy asking my mum to, but my sister got to see Take That for free (she was meant to pay but it's been 7 months so I guess it's not happening) so my mum said she'd buy it as I was really dissappointed due to not going myself. She also bought me a Take That top which I love, however I do need to hide the "Progress Live 2011" as I wasn't there, ops. 

I'm going on holiday Saturday which means I have 1 day to get everything sorted, this is actually going to be my biggest challenge tonight/tomorrow/Saturday. Tonight I need to get any music I want onto my iPod, plan out the clothing I shall be packing, preparing my make up bag (what I can of it at least) and making lists. Tomorrow I'm going to get up at 8:00 and leave at 9 to go for a bike ride round to any charity shops I can find within my distance/range before heading to town to check out Primark and get a new nose ring at withit. Then I'll pop round to my boyfriends (by the way, if you like minecraft check out his youtube here as him as his friends are hilarious) come home and pack everything I want into a bag with the towels and prepare my little carry case bag. 

Also, what do you think of my new bedspread? I actually love it. Cannot believe I went into Wilko's to get a totally different bed cover and came out with this, however I much prefer it, mum also loves it because it means she doesn't have to iron it!

I'll be animating every night

It is official, I have finally left school which is leaving me heaps loads of time to do absolutely nothing with my time and health!!! Due to this I've worn basically nothing but leggings and an oversized t-shirt for the majority of this week. However, today I went out for my sister's early birthday meal and put in "some effort" into it, I don't think looking like a slob who hasn't showered properly is a suitable meal time look. We then went into town and I bought a new nose stud continued on my search for a bikini so I didn't wear only one for two weeks, we may have a washing machine at the place we're staying but it's not a good look for the photos..

Shirt: Fat Face
Tee: Gift
Trousers: eBay

want your bad romance.

First blog post, thought I'd include a little outfit show to match really. I had my English Literature exam today, which means I never have to look at a GCSE anthology ever again after this day, however English does not stop here if I plan to follow the career path of being a journalist or writing short stories. Today was generally an easy day, forgetting the panic of waking up in time for school, as all the lessons left within my day were free lessons so I did a few mind maps and relaxed really. I have my Chemistry re-take tomorrow which will be interesting to see what of the questions I can actually answer, I'm sure I'll just end up napping however.

I love my black skinnys, they're comfy, easy to wear and match anything I throw together with it and my gaga t-shirt generally works with most items of clothing I possess, however I haven't had an event in which I can wear my heels to yet. They are really casual but I don't want to wear them out for a general outing, maybe if I go to the cinema any time soon I'll add a few inches to my height. Never the less, I doubt this will be read but it's nice to do something productive with my time.
