New Look

By new look, I mean "New Look" the shop. Not usually my first port of call for new season buys, however their current stock is great and really cheap.  Everyone should check it out. So here are some photos of me wearing some New Look purchases and looking annoyed.

Mid-week Slump

A very lazy all black outfit for work today. I've got a cold and am not feeling particularly creative. Luckily my most recent online purchase from ASOS brightens up all outfits instantly.

Grown Up Dressing?

This is an attempt to steer my everyday dressing towards more work appropriate outfits. I'm also trying to be more prepared for infuriating interview dress codes like "fashionable but smart". The Uni Qlo shirt comes in loads of colours and fits like a dream. I've had this coat for years, it's probably one of the few january sale purchases that I don't regret. Potentially the skirt is too short for most offices. Oh well.

More Faux Fur

It's cold today. I"m sort of dressed like a zebra and my hair is dirty but I feel ok about it.

Winter Is Coming (I Think)

I've been loving coloured fur (always faux) for a while now, ever since Prada did this:

Prada AW 14/15

Leading the faux fur brigade are Charlotte Simone and Shrimps, both British-based designers with passions for faux and ethically sourced fur.

Just in time for the imminent cold snap, the high street has caught on and these are the pieces that I will be investing in. ASOS in particular has a huge selection of brightly coloured scarves and collars.

Electric Relaxation

I had hoped to discard all long sleeved tops until September but apparently we won't be having much of a summer this year.  The top is one I stole from my sister - I find that all most of the crop tops available at the moment are a bit too cropped, I don't think I'm quite brave enough to wear a "bralet" out in central London. This one is the perfect length, just above the belly button, not right around my ribs!
