The one where I'm branching out and copying.

I never go to Topshop.  I own very little Topshop clothing and what I do have mostly used to belong to my lovely best friend who gives me her hand-me-downs.  It is just all too tempting and expensive.  The other day, however, I went in.

I saw a friend wearing this dress at a birthday party and, after asking her where it was from, was shocked to find out that it was only £20.  The colour options were dark purple, maroon or black and I chose the purple although this photo does not show it's true shade.  It is a skater dress, tight at the top and then flares out from the bottom of the rib cage.  It is a very modest length, so much so infact that at 5'5 I would almost feel short wearing it with flats, however I shall try it and see.

My best friend (and many others) has this dress in bright blue which I think is absolutely gorgeous.  This one is a salmon pink colour but only cost £20 in the sale so I thought 'ignore the slightly horrible colour and the fact that you struggle with wearing sleeves and just treat yourself'.  I think it will look very cute with a belt on a night out or when I go out for a meal.

I saw a girl on my course wearing this today and then came across it in Topshop, reduced from £30 to £15.  I think it is so cute with the little deer and I really love that colour at the moment.  The only problem is that I'm not sure what other coloured tops it would go with apart from white and cream.  Any ideas?

Not satisfied with two new dresses from the Topshop sale, I ended up on the website.  BAD IDEA!  This dress was £20 too, it is very tight and has a black exposed zip at the back.  Not my normal style but I do like to dress up uber girly sometimes and if not, I can dress it down with some funky boots.

I also bought some jewellery in the sale but I'll leave that for a jewellery haul that I have planned.



The one where I am ready to party.

Had a cheeky purchase of a new dress in the Asos sale.  It was only £15!

As you can see it is blue, has a sweetheart neckline but also straps, is ruched at the top and then comes out at the waist to skim out over the hips.  I was a little disappointed when it arrived (obviously I ordered it online) because the colours is much darker than the photo on the website and infact darker than these photos too!  The sweetheart neckline is also higher than I would have expected and sadly it is a little too big around the waist.  However the best detailing is the back.

As you can hopefully tell from this photo, the back has a bow detail (to conveniently cover ones bra) and then an opening to show a nice bit of skin.  It makes the dress a little more interesting and I think it looks lovely!

I am planning on wearing this dress to celebrate my best friend's birthday in a few days and then either on nights out with lovely large heels or maybe with a cardi and tights in the day. 

I did also buy some shorts from the Asos sale although they are way too big for me.  They were size 12s but in the petite section.  I have been size 12 on top and 10 on the bottom for a good while but I thought I had (sadly) got a bit more chunky recently so I went for this size.  I don't know whether it is because Asos sizes are large or whatever but this sort of reassured me that I do have a little bit of body dismorphia and that actually I'm not fat.  Am I?!
