Raiding the Back of my Wardrobe
31.7.12
Top - Topshop (old)
Skirt - Boohoo (I think! Via Next2Nowt)
Belt - Matalan
Shoes - Daisystreet
Necklaces - F21 / Miss Selfridge
Rings - H&M
It's time I start to do this more often I think! Sometimes I find myself too caught up in blogger trends (ahem, the shoes...) and forget about older purchases and things I haven't even worn before. I've had the skirt for about 8 months now and I haven't worn it out (it's one of those things I try on when I'm planning an outfit and feel 'hmmm' about). It's kind of a high-low style, these photos don't really show it well! It was just £6 and it's really versatile, so I'm vowing to wear it more in the future.
The top is extremely old, it's something that I wore a lot the first month or so that I bought it, but then I just stopped wearing. Luckily it's not something to ever be 'out-of-fashion' as such, so hopefully I can now keep wearing it until it falls apart!
I'm actually really into the Olympics this time around. I'm not sporty at all these days, but I have nothing else to do at the moment due to lack of money and a serious lack of motivation to start thinking about my dissertation. It's really growing on me, from rowing to basketball! I guess there's something special about it being in Britain too. Are any of you feeling the same way?

You are such a pretty girl! I'm really liking the shoes, I don't really think of them as a "blogger item". I love the shape of your skirt. x
ReplyDeleteLove this look! The skirt's gorgeous. Are the Daisystreet boots comfy? I've been umm'ing and ahh'ing over them for ages but I SUCK with heels, but they're nice :(

They're dead comfy!!! I'm crap at lasting in heels but these I can wear for about 5 hours without any pain! I did have to get them reheeled though, but daisystreet were awesome about it and refunded me :) xx
