So a little while ago Topshop were doing a 20% student discount promotion in store and online and I am a sucker for extra discounts, even if I am no longer a student...(thankfully I have siblings who can hook me up with NUS card numbers!)
My local store is very small and limited in stock so I spent a Thursday night cosied up in bed trawling the Topshop website (I obviously lead a very eventful life..) and piling my virtual shopping bag with anything that took my fancy. I do this with all online shopping sprees and it normally leads to an obscene amount of items with a high total price tag, so I make sure to whittle it down to only ‘must-haves’ and ‘one-of-a-kinds’ (it’s incredible how I can justify any purchases as a necessity) so my debit card and I remain friends.
I’ve been ill all week and so the arrival of my package was the perfect pick me up!
The first thing I picked up was a pair of Leigh skinny jeans. Now these are my all time favourite jeans, I have them in practically every colour. They are just so soft and comfortable (no stiff denim here, ladies) and fit like a dream (no baggy knees!).
I saw this shirt in store and immediately fell in love with the miss-matched pattern design. It’s also monochrome, which allows me to dress it up or down and accessorise it any way I like.
I love the burgundy colour of this casual sweater, it’s also quilted so not just your boring old jumper. I think I may be returning this though as I found that it’s quite boxy and on the shorter side (i.e. it sits right above the hips, on me anyway) and I prefer slightly longer, slouchier tops.
Next up…these hot heels! How gorgeous are these bad boys! The vibrant magenta is just beautiful and I think pairing these with a simple outfit like jeans and a blazer will make it interesting. I am, however, a little worried about walking in them (perhaps a test run around the house is in order…don’t pretend you don’t do that too), the heel is certainly not the highest I own (these are 3.5 inches), but the heels are quite thin.
The last three items are all frivolous accessories, that weren’t really a necessity, but who the hell cares..YOLO am I right! (*smh* I can’t even believe I wrote that…).
I got a grey beanie, simply because I like hats.
These midi rings are cute and sparkly…I like sparkly.
This has to be the silliest of all my purchases and to some it may be tacky, but it’s a velvet scrunchie (instantly thrown back into my 90’s childhood when I used to adorn my ponytails with obnoxious scrunchies…it was cool alright!) and it has bunny ears(!!) and I LOVE IT!!
And that’s it! All these items are still available on the UK website here.
