Despite my best intentions of not buying myself any more clothes for a while I seem to have acquired quite a number of new pieces lately, oops! The high street is a maze of temptation at the moment, I don’t seem to be able to walk past a shop doorway without seeing at least a dozen things I need to own and this makes even the quickest dash to pick up essentials a dangerous game.
Jumper: Topshop (get it here) | Pinafore: (get it here) | Tights: Primark | Boots c/o Lunar Shoes
For some reason I spent years convincing myself I hated roll neck tops as they made me feel claustrophobic. I’m not sure what I was thinking and this year they are a real staple of mine, especially the jersey ones from Topshop at only £16. I picked up a few of these in various colours but this mustard yellow is my favourite. I love how it looks against my hair colour and it makes for the perfect partner for the cord pinafore dress from New Look which I bought after seeing on Amie’s blog. It also comes in a lovely deep red colour and at £19.99 is a great value layering piece for my winter wardrobe.
The only trouble I find with wearing a couple of block colours in an outfit is how to pair up some tights. Nude just doesn’t cut it when the temperatures dip and trying to match either the yellow or the navy turned out to be a nightmare in shade coordination. In the end I went with a tonal brown to tie in the boots and I think it works but I can’t help but wonder if there is a better alternative…
Are you finding the high street as impressive as I am right now? I am having to fight so hard to stop myself from continually shopping!
Oh don’t say it, seriously EVERYTHING is tempting me at the moment! I wanted a mustard polo for ages and now they’re everywhere!!! Typically!!! This is a beautiful outfit!!!!Xx
