Right, I know it's not quite the end of January just yet, but I
thought I'd give you guys a little update on what this year has brought
me so far.
First things first, the Topshop Argo boots! I fucking adore them, they're my actual babies. Now, I'm not going to lie, they're are a tad uncomfortable given the fact they don't actually stretch, and the material is pretty solid, but other than that they're perfect. I know I shouldn't probably, but I wear them as an everyday kinda shoe (yes I'll probably knacker them in a couple of months but hey ho, they're too gorgeous not too), and you don't feel the heel at all. I had a right mare when it came to buying these as I desperately needed some new shoes (mine had holes in), and I had to chose between these (£92), my old shoes (£42) or a pair of Libby Vagabonds (£100). In the end, I got 10% off these and was sold. I don't know about the quality of Topshop shoes, but it will be worth it for something this gorgeous.
My first purchase of the year, (okay last purchase of last year but whatever) was the Asos (petite) Bodycon Stripy Dress. I'm not sure if they did it in not petite, but I prefer buying midi dresses in petite as I know they won't be down to my ankles, I'm not short, but it still worries me. Anyway, This dress is so cute! It's a little bit tight, as I got it in a four because I thought that it was made from a kinda tee shirt material, but it's actually a really nice and thick material (still stretchy). It's also a dress which really sucks you in, and doesn't stretch through out the night (you know, when dresses do the thing?). And it was only a tenner in the Asos sale!
When I bought that dress I also ordered these cute as fuck socks from the Asos sale too, although they're originally Pull and Bear. Recently, in our local shopping center, a new Pull and Bear appeared, and I'm not going to lie, I've been in twice and I'm not a fan. But these socks, and for two pounds, I couldn't really not. I always wear them pulled up over tights which often looks ridiculous but I do just want to show them off. (The Pull and Bear logo on them does really irritate me though)
Finally (sorry for the ramble), Bitching and Junkfood's Denaro Bodycon Dress. I am in L O V E with this dress. I want to wear it everyday, even if I think it washes me out a little. I've been watching it on their website for a while now, but for £79 pounds and no job, there was no chance of me buying it. However, during the most stressful shoe shop of all time, I found this in the Urban Outfitters sale for £30, in an extra small (just my size), and I literally could not say no. ITS PERFECT I AM IN LOVE AND NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME PLEASE DON'T HURT MY DRESS thnk u.
I also ordered a See-through Inflatable bag with daisies on, for £4.50, and no p&p. So I'm happy with that.
