So, because I've decided to book a big holiday for the start of next year, I'm living on a budget. My decision to start writing these posts came from my addiction to online shopping, but not being able to buy everything (sigh). Hopefully, by searching for lovely clothes and being able to share them with everyone, it will lessen my need to purchase.
1. Checked Shirt, £17.99 - a classic but reinvented, this year with different colour schemes (more tartan inspired) and sleeveless. Previously checked shirts have been worn as a kind of 'throw-over' but this year they're worn as a 'traditional' shirt. I can imagine this one with leggings or denim shorts for the daytime but it could be dressed up tucked into a black pleather skater skirt or disco pants.
2. Hair Bows, £3.99 - gorgeous and simple bows to wear in your hair. I love bows on anything but I especially love these for a little cute detail. They're especially good for hiding hairpins when your hair is in a bun. I've got 9 of these bows already, and I'm addicted!
3. Bobble Hat, £7.99 - Now the colder weather is on its way, yet again we are forced to bring out our warmer clothes. A beanie like this is perfect for keeping your head warm but looking stylish as well, they're a staple for winter style (and help to hide those bad hair days too!).
4. Limited Edition Cut Out Boots, £69.99 - The most expensive thing on my list, and SHOCKER, my favourite item! I desperately need these shoes in my wardrobe, just hope they're still available when my student loan comes through! Sensible yet stylish footwear perfect for the coming winter weather.
5. Structured Pocket Dress, £32 - Yellow is a colour I wouldn't usually go for, but this dress is absolutely stunning. The structure of it is so different to the dresses I've seen recently and looks so flattering! I suffer from having a 'boyish' figure, so the silhouette of this would help give me a few curves. I think I'd pair this with some killer red shoes and a bold clutch.
6. Pinafore Dress £19.99 - This is absolutely perfect for the 'dungaree' kind of trend that's going on at the moment, for people who want to work it a bit differently. New Look are also selling a white shirt with black hearts on at the moment which would look amazing with this dress! Summer may be coming to an end but this could look brilliant with a pair of chunky black tights and a pair of black boots.
7. Boyfriend Cardigan, £22.99 - A bit steep for a cardigan I'd say but if the cardigan is as cosy as it looks in this picture I'm all for it. There's a lot of cardigans out there at the moment but I've not seen any which caught my eye quite as much as this one did. The perfect shade of cream with big brown buttons, perfects for autumn.
8. Roll-sleeve Burgundy Blazer, £24.99 - This colour is so gorgeous and I think it makes everything look so much more flattering. Blazers are perfect to wear with almost any outfit, dress up jeans or pair with a pair of printed trousers to go out at night. Don't ever buy a blazer if it doesn't fit you perfectly. An often tedious rule but an important one.
9. Teal Slouch Bag, £24.99 - Everything about this bag screams PERFECT for summer to autumn transitions. It will go with your bright summery clothing to those new, dark florals that we're seeing in shop windows! And what's better than a bag with both handles and a shoulder strap? That chain might hurt after a while though. No pain, no gain right?
10. Tapestry Print Bangles, £6.99 - What girl can't go without some pretty accessories. What more is there to say?
