I haven't bought anything in Zara for a while so a proper peruse was well overdue and resulted in a couple of purchases. In all honesty I felt the stock instore was a little overwhelming but when I got home a couple of the things were still on my mind so I placed an order on Thursday and the stuff arrived on Saturday morning....only for both things to be worn that day. Sign of good purchasing....I think you will agree! ;0)
Moi donning mine.....

I zoned in on this tweed top as I knew it would be super useful to wear with jeans for the kind of nights out we have these days which are generally spent in the local pub then going back to friends for a takeaway. Once the party season in in full flow I think it will be fabulous with a faux leather pencil skirt and caged sandals for a bit more va-va-voom!
This is how I wore it out on Saturday night......

You might remember that on my last post the Gap girlfriends were on my wishlist, I just happened to pop into my local store on Friday for a trying on session and all their denim was 40% off! Happy days! You might just be able to work out from the photo below that they are a slightly looser fit around the hips and legs than a skinny jean and they are pretty cropped but this was the effect I was looking for. After a tip off from a lovely reader Lynsey I did order a pair from ASOS called Kimmi. I've pictured both so you can compare. There wasn't a lot of difference in them style-wise or price, I just felt ASOS ones were a bit too slim and slightly longer, the Gap ones were a more relaxed fit so they were the keepers.
Last but not least was the purchase of this New Look bomber. It's typical that whilst returning stuff you always end up being lured by something else! I must admit I was very enamoured by this Zara one however I think the New Look one will work better for me. If you are thinking of ordering you can currently get 20% off using the code MAGIC20.
I'll have to swerve the shops for the next couple of weeks, it's been a very spendy month already.....it's just as well my birthday is in October!

Do you have a current style crush who is helping you dress for this tricky transitional phase? Whilst I am all in favour of eek-ing the summer clothing out for as long as possible it somehow just doesn't feel right to be sporting the colourful dresses and lighter colours we were in just a couple of weeks ago now that we are halfway through September! Is it just me or does anyone else feel this way? I would love to hear.
Back again soon!

Hi! Have a look at matalan...I've bought the "blondie" t-shirt, it's really nice but fits quite big x Mel x
ReplyDeleteMwah Mel! I dashed straight off to check out Matalan's website and the Blondie tee is fab for a tenner! I thought they also had some great Zoe Karssen-esque t-shirts that look worth checking out too!! Thank you for the tip-off! xx
