Skirts, skirts and more skirts


Okay, so I'm really new to this and trying to get my head round it! For the summer I was looking for a hobby but I am really enjoying this even though no one sees it, it's nice to just write about things I've bought, fashion, clothes, make up, shoes and accessories.

So yesterday I posted pictures of my week 25 purchases and from River Island was one of my many A line skirts. The picture below does not feature my new skirt due to been taken a couple of weeks ago. But basically I posted yesterday about how I love River Islands A line skirts as the fit is so complementary to any fit and both the textures, colours and patterns are beautiful. Working there is a good and bad thing as I have my job perks but also I see all the new beautiful clothes which are new in everyday and as I'm a shopaholic I just cannot stop spending!

So here are my other A line skirts.. all from River Island! 


So here they are! This is a picture I posted on instagram but chose to have no filter just so everyone can see the true colour and detail of them. All were £25 apart from the sequin one on the far right. That was originally £35 but I was tidying the sale at work and came across it in the sale in my size for £17! 

The first one on the far left with the poppy/floral print is absolutely gorgeous and can be dressed up or down! The next is a black faux leather skirt, it's one of my favourites! The fit is gorgeous and because it's black goes with almost anything! The next is the white texture floral print skirt. I haven't worn this yet but looking forward to wearing it. It's really summery and they do a matching jacket too so would have loved to have bought that, lovely co ord. The next is the pink faux leather skirt, it's the same as the black one in a pastel pink. I just had to buy it! So excited to wear it, it's waiting to be worn on my next night out!

I never used to be much of a fan of skirts as I'd prefer dresses as I'd always struggle to choose what top to wear with the skirt as with dresses you don't have that problem! But I am improving and now have a wider diverse range of clothes since working in retail and such a better knowledge of fashion too so I am now addicted to skirts as you can change the top to wear with it and it's a different outfit!

Week 25 purchases!


The week of payday! Also known as week 25..

So although its 00:43 (technically Saturday) on Friday it was payday for us! So ahead of payday I have been spending quite a lot this week.. oops! I firstly went on a spree in Miss Selfridge on their website with unidays 10% student discount and then whilst the England match was on there was a flash sale of 20% off all of their site! So I ended up ordering twice! My first order consisted of..


The ultra soft blue jeans are so gorgeous! Wanted them for ages and they never had my size and before work I went in and they had them in 5 different places in the store but still didn't have my size! Eventually got them online though, think they have been quite popular as they were sold out online for a while too. On the top left is a basic with a beautiful floral print cami which I just had to have! Then the blouse on the bottom I had to return unfortunately! I tried size 6 on instore and it was huge! So I ordered the size 4 online and even that was massive too, so upset it was a beautiful botanical floral print with pink, black and lime green floral prints on.

My next Miss Selfridge purchase!..

So as I said there was a flash sale with 20% off and I saw these two beautiful embellished camis. They were similar in terms of the pattern but completely identical. I couldn't decide what colour I wanted online so ordered both so I could choose when I got them in person! At first I thought I would have kept the pink one when I saw it online but when I received it, it was quite bright! The grey cami did look a lot nicer in person too so that decision was quite easy thankfully!

So my last purchase of the week you'll be pleased to know!


On my way to work on Wednesday I think it was, I noticed my top had a hole in! So I went to purchase the top on the right before my shift but they didn't have my size! But luckily it wasn't too noticeable and I purchased the top after my shift as my size was then available. Whilst at work I noticed it had been really popular. It was on the front zone which customers saw as soon as they entered the store and with such the bright complementary colours it was so eye catching for customers as such a gorgeous summery top. I fell in love! I then wore it to work the next day! Whilst on my way to the fitting room I also noticed the skirt on the left. I am in love with my A line skirts River Island sell! This is my 6th! The fit is so complementary to any figure. What caught my eye about this one is the material of it and the gold statement belt. I told myself not to buy any more skirts as I have enough but I couldn't leave this one! So this is my last skirt purchase for a while I think! Both from River Island.. skirt £25 and top £22.
